It has come along nicely. They pretty much got it going on now. But you know, even Mick and Keith had a bad night every now and then.

Just playing, my friend. That blood sausage quote is from one of my favorite movies Groundhog Day and I enjoy throwing it out occasionally. In all honesty, singing the jingle might have been amusing at some point but after a few years it is like a Saturday Night Live skit where they just don't know when to quit. And I do mute the thing every time the remote is close enough. But as long suffering Sox fans, we all know there are worse problems with this team. And for anyone here offended by my disdain for the jingle.....

Moreover, the first part of it, "He looks up..." would help Bennetti gauge which fly balls have a chance to be HR as opposed to just routine fly balls to the track. Stone has to retire though. It's time.

And if they’re that scared of stepping on Hawk’s toes and stealing his catchphrase then just fucking take the sound byte and play it in stadium at least when the fireworks go off (if this is done already forgive me because it doesn’t come across on TV). Even a fucking yyyyyyYES! would be appreciated Yep, pretty much all this. Doesn't one of the shitty Minnesota announcers use "he gawn" now? That's a fucking travesty. Love or hate Hawk, but he gawn, put it on the board, etc, should still be in use by the Sox. I get someone wanting to do their own thing, but ffs, at this point Jason's awful jingle just ain't it. Time to honor Hawk while he can still enjoy it.

January 3, 20233 yr Not only is the jingle annoying, but then they have to make comments about how it sounded. Who cares?

January 3, 20233 yr 2 hours ago, he gone. said: Every ... single ... time ... "pretty good, thought your voice was a bit off, but overall good" The joke is so overdone. I kinda feel like they're well aware that it's overdone and that's part of the bit.
January 3, 20233 yr id say i agree, but the rest of their repertoire of jokes isn't much better. not that I dislike them at all ... i really like steve stone in the booth (real life hes a cock sucker) and jason is very, very talented. I'd love to add a third into the booth to mix up the vibes. A mix of former players (kind of like they've done to fill in for steve). Basically lets reduce the amount of filler time that steve and jason do and bring in a new voice. preferably someone like 25-35 years old... you've got old man steve stone and jason might as well be 65 with his jokes and references ...
January 3, 20233 yr I don't much mind their bits, to get them through a long season, but that nationwide jingle, oh man , I get upset when they catch me off guard, and i'm not able to mute it.
