    The biggest problem with all his manufactured excitement is he knows very little about the White Sox. I bet before he interviewed for the job, he couldn’t name 5 guys on the roster. Now he’s supposedl

    See, I don't think anything John does is genuine, and that is probably why it bothers me.  Both Hawk and Jason were genuine guys in their style.  John is just loud to be loud, even when the situation

  • I find it easy being a White Sox fan. I renew my season tickets every year and go to the games and just hope for the best.

Beckham seemed very taken aback when Schiffren offered to share that giant hot dog ala Lady and The Tramp.

I did a bit of a memory dump...was it Beckham who wrote the slur in the dirt to Getz or was it the other way around?

That was strange. Beckham was so weird about it. It was a funny bit, I mean it was a giant hot dog, that Beckham made awkward for no reason. Schriff set him up perfectly to say something funny and he blew it and looked like a backward buffoon. Like c'mon dude, it's not that serious. Your "manhood" or whatever wasn't in doubt, it's just a silly bit. I think now it is. I like that Schriff kept pressing him lol.

I can't help but think about "disgusting" Benetti whenever they bring food into the booth. I'm pretty sure Schriffen was eating it and the broadcast just cut away. Every other team brings food into the booth and they eat it, what is wrong with Brooks Boyer? Is he me? I don't like watching people eat either but I understand that's idiosyncratic and that nobody else cares.

Hopefully Bama Rush or SEC football is their next topic of the day if it's not the LLWS.

Gordon Beckham sorry for 'gay' joke

What a loser

 

lol I just walked past Schriffen walking his dog in Chinatown. No comment on my Barons hat. Whatever, dude.

Wouldn't put it past him to not know who the Barons are. 😉

You didn't ask him for his autograph?

I would’ve said something to him but I didn’t realize it was him until I’d passed him. 
I actually lingered around the corner while I waited for an Uber, if he doubled back (in the direction of the ballpark), I was planning to jump out at him and make cat noises and yell LA PANTERA!!!

Everyone is grateful he didn’t turn around before my ride got there. Dude is really tall btw, like 6’6 probably.

That explains the NBA/Slam Ball fixation.

According to media reports, Benetti's contract with the Tigers allows him to miss 35 games per season. I don't know how many games Schiffren has missed, but I'm guessing fewer than 10. 

It’s a bonus when Schriffen misses games.  🤣

Yeah, it probably the White Sox who say the Schriff has to take a break. I know I like the broadcast better. McKnight might not be the greatest but at least he gives the audience some credit for having a clue as to what is going on.

Has anyone else noticed that Schrif often confuses left field from right field?

Is this a thing, haha?  I missed him say this.  Maybe he thinks the positions are from the perspective of the outfielders.  🤣

Game hasn’t been played in over a month…

nobody: 

absolutely not one person:

oldsox: did you notice Shriffen confuses left and right field a lot?

I've pointed this out before. It's been several times. I also like how he calls a pop up to the SS a flly ball. Technically I guess it is, but nobody refers to it that way in professional baseball  except him.

Hard to believe Schiff is entering year 3 with the Sox. Team has been so pathetic during his tenure.

It's sorta news to me since I haven't watched a Sox broadcast in years.

Not to be a jerk but how do some of us remain Sox fans?

Pathetic product with the only highlights the past few years the play of Colson and Robert maybe his first year. The staff of so many great names (Mark, Hoyt, Bobby, Peters, Horlen, Wilhelm, Sale, Wood, Garland, Pierce, Lyons, Walsh, Faber, Thiggy, McDowell, Cease de resistance, need I go on?) turns to a staff where I can't name one starter (I forget the name of the flamethrower who has looked good at times). ... And finally if u do watch a game, u have to suffer with poor Schiff and Gordo (don't like his accent sadly; love Stoney) or Stoney.

Ah for the days of the aforementioned pitchers and Harry. Our team certainly has been at its low ebb with Schiff at the mike. I know $$ rules all but how can Stoney keep signing to broadcast this wretched club.

Finally not to be a jerk part two, but it is funny how the Cub had a good record this season but stunk in the postseason. At least the one year the Sox reached the WS Oz and the boys completed the deal. Can u imagine if we had lost to the Stros in 05?? We'd be in quite a drought.

How many times are you going to talk about how people can remain Sox fans and talk about stopping being a fan?

if you want to stop, then stop.  Nobody is in your way.  If it’s too hard to pay attention when they suck, then keep it moving.  It’s not hard, others have done it.
