oh boy, this should be a good thread

We are not a serious franchise.

Great news!

No more comedy hour at the worst times. 

Len better stay in radio and they better find someone else for TV. Boyer said it, but I want them to see that statement through.

One more reason to not watch White Sox baseball this year. 

WOO-HOO!!!!!  Fantastic start to the off season!!!!!

Oof. This one hurts.

Another reason to pay less attention to this s%*# team.

Like, we knew this was probably going to happen based on his national attention on ESPN and the fact we hadn't heard anything about an extension, so ok it was coming.

 

But to the TIGERS. Come on, man. What a kick to the dick.

If Beckham is in that booth next year I'm not sure I'll be able to watch

Truthfully, this won’t make much difference to me and most Sox fans. 
 

I watched probably 100 innings of White Sox Baseball last year. That number may be lower in 2024. 

Maybe Hawk was onto something about Brooks

Outbid by the small market Detroit Tigers. What’s next? They pay Connor McDoink $50k a year to be the tv announcer?

I’m so sick of this owner. 

Yikes, despite what some think, we have one of the best broadcasts.  I think a lot of that was Steve's genious, but they played off eachother well... 

I can't imagine Stone will want to stay.

Sox going to bring in the Royals announcers to go full KC?

I'll never understand people that didn't like Jason.  He's the best around.  Wasn't going to watch many games this year anyways so whatever but this doesn't help.

LOVE this news.

Yeah, I don't know why Jason would bolt to Detroit. He loves the Sox. Loves Steve. Something had to piss him off. When he was just starting, I thought he was trying to do a 2 hour comedy bit in 20 minutes. But he grew on me. This is another Sox loss.

I don’t think the Sox liked how unavailable he was during the second half of seasons. 

IMO, this is great news.  Fun is great, but silly, goofy, fake, overly quirky, convincing everyone you’re the most “clever”—it all leads to disconnect and awkwardness and that gets old quick.  Our broadcasts were unwatchable care of the team, and “unlistenable” because of this guy!  We need someone real, identifiable and passionate to rebrand the Sox from the booth.

He’s great and there’s a reason he’s gotten so many big opportunities.  I’m sure the replacement will be worse and they probably replace Stone with Beckham so a garbage team will also have terrible broadcast team.

What I've learned is that people on this board want someone that just repeats their own thoughts back to them. They will hate the next announcer as soon as they do something like ask a question to their color commentator, use silence, dont' use silence, or any number of rules that this board has established.
