They would sit in the Chicago studio and receive info on every pitch via teletype, and then broadcast the pitch as if they were seeing it, all with fake crowd sound effects. We were easily fooled.

I also loved listening to Farmer and DJ on the radio as well. Such a great listen. DJ is still good alongside Kasper. I think Kasper needs to stay radio though. It's his sweet spot. He tends to by dry/not as entertaining to listen to on TV IMO for some reason. Elson was the voice of the White Sox from 1926 to 1942 and again from 1946 to 1970. That was broken up with WWII when he served in the Navy. It was during that tour of duty that he earned the nickname "ol' Commander." In case you are wondering...I only started listening during his 2nd tour with the WS, around 1955 or so.
13 hours ago13 hr I realize that Dominguez is making some big money but would it be such a bad thing for him to be demoted to the minor leagues. He might work out his problems there.

5 hours ago5 hr Dominguez is going to be here. They need to keep running him out there and try and figure it out.
4 hours ago4 hr Home and road wins and losses come down to the pitching. The batting is for the most part is the same. The pitching on the road has + 2 era, attributed to hits, walks, and home runs increase.

It made no sense to me at the time to sign this guy and make him your closer. I just figured this team was not going to be any good and they just didn't care and thought maybe they can turn him around and flip him.
