January 17, 20197 yr I love listening to these guys. Brings me back to my childhood. I started watching Sox games with Hawk and DJ in the booth. I think Ed and DJ compliment each other very well and I hope they both stay on for a while longer.
January 17, 20197 yr Farmio is a horrible PBP guy. I can't wait until they get him the fuck off of the radio team. I don't even consider listening to games on the radio because he's so gawd awful at his job.
January 17, 20197 yr maybe i'm alone but i'm not a fan of Benetti... dude talks WAY too much. sometimes silence is great.

January 18, 20197 yr Wayne Hagin and John Rooney were the best team I can ever remember...Gary Thorne was also pretty good, although he's even better at hockey. Dave Wills was the best pre-game host, didn't care much for Rongey. McKnight was "okay" I guess, neutral feeling.

I’m glad he’s gone.

January 18, 20197 yr Stone & Bennetti are much better than Farmer & DJ, and I wouldn't even consider it close, but to each his own. If I had a nickel for every time Farmer called for a HR (or a slam here, ask he likes to put it), I'd have a shitload of nickels.
January 18, 20197 yr I was excited to get Hawk out of here but last year, Jason didn't really win me over. Tries too much to do one liners and be funny instead of just talking about the game. Hopefully when he is FT this year, he improves. I've been vocal about Farmer frequently. He is just too boring and monotonous to be a radio guy. Maybe we were spoiled by Rooney but a younger more energetic voice would be welcome on radio.

I don't even consider listening to games on the radio because he's so gawd awful at his job. My biggest issue with Farmer is that he openly hates his job on the air. Every single game he drones on and on about how long the previous game was and how late they got back to the hotel, how bad the travel is etc etc. You get paid to watch White Sox baseball. That's the best job in the world.

January 21, 20197 yr When Paciorek subs I like to listen to him, but I think it is more TV than radio.

He has a good voice, but a lot of his talk seems unnatural or forced. Hopefully he improves as time goes on.

Nothing was ever the team's fault. Everyone calling was a moron and didn't understand baseball (which was only true about half the time). And he's massive scumbag to boot. For as much of a self-important pseudo-intellectual as Rongey is, you'd think he was writing influential investigative journalism and not performing verbal analingus on a horrible baseball franchise.
