April 1, 200422 yr Now if we can only be half as good at it as you are.... Why does everything you say have to have a hidden meaning?
April 1, 200422 yr That wasn't a joke. yeah it was it was last year or somethin the one that his wife was in on
April 1, 200422 yr Why does everything you say have to have a hidden meaning? Hidden message...?? You called us dips***s... which I assume was meant kiddingly.. I replied with.. "Now if we can only be half as good at it as you are.... " It was a joke. You think there was something hidden in there..???
April 1, 200422 yr Hidden message...?? You called us dips***s... which I assume was meant kiddingly.. I replied with.. "Now if we can only be half as good at it as you are.... " It was a joke. You think there was something hidden in there..??? It simply doesn't quite make sense. Everything you say is way over my head. Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough to get it. Or maybe it's so simple that I think you are better than that. Whatever.
April 1, 200422 yr We should get a better winking smiley on this site, the one we have now: It looks like it means disgusted or something. When I first started posting here, I didn't realize that thing was a wink. Took me a week or so to figure out people were just goofing around!!
April 1, 200422 yr Anyway, I'm glad lots of you found the humor in the whole thing. They (the Score) were going for humor, they got it. I just thought it was kinda stupid. No biggie. I just hope none of the players involved got pissed off it. I'd hate to be one of them and be the centerpiece of some joke just so a credibility challenged radio station could get a few yucks.
April 1, 200422 yr what, happened on december 17, i dont remember i remeber the record before that was when the alomar trade happened That was when the original ARod rumor was happening and there were talks of Maggs going to Boston. One thing I don't get: How can anyone be seriously pissed at this? It's a joke, no big deal.

I'd have to think if Hawk was in, that they told the players mentioned in the trade ahead of time.
April 1, 200422 yr Thats a new record, 113 users on in last 15 minutes I have a gut feeling that record will be demolished on Mon. afternoon. By the way, this was a very good April Fools joke by the Wise Guys. I was on the metra train home and my friend called (Cubs fan) saying the Sox got Griffey. Immediately I knew it was bulls*** because the Reds don't need a 1B and after Rowands ST it would be an absolute insult not to give him a shot. Guess if I had been listenening to the score I might of had more reason to fall for it. And for anyone else who missed it the score is replaying some of the segment at 6.
April 1, 200422 yr Well, look on the bright side everybody: We got an entire hour dedicated to the White Sox.
April 1, 200422 yr And for anyone else who missed it the score is replaying some of the segment at 6. What station exactly is the Score? When I was at baseball practice on of the dads came up to us and was like "The Sox traded Konerko to the Reds for Griffey!!!!!!!!" I was excited because I think it would be a good trade, but then he told me it was a joke. This is quite funny, I don't know why so many people were pissed off. To get Hawk in is awesome.

It's a 50,000 watt station, so you should be able to pick up the signal from Valpo.
April 2, 200422 yr 670 AM. It's a 50,000 watt station, so you should be able to pick up the signal from Valpo. Thanks. The only time I listen to the radio for sports is on ESPN because I rely on the internet for news.
April 2, 200422 yr Bruce Levine said Sox officials are PISSED OFF with North doing that. Of course he said that, he works for ESPN 1000. BTW I can't believe how many people fell for that.
April 2, 200422 yr Of course he said that, he works for ESPN 1000. BTW I can't believe how many people fell for that. Did you hear about Eric and Kathy's little joke this morning? About jumping and feeling weightlesss from 7:40 to 7:42 and 15 seconds or something like that?
April 2, 200422 yr Did you hear about Eric and Kathy's little joke this morning? About jumping and feeling weightlesss from 7:40 to 7:42 and 15 seconds or something like that? I don't listen to morning radio. I listen to the news before I get on the train at 5 am. That's it.
April 2, 200422 yr It simply doesn't quite make sense. Everything you say is way over my head. Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough to get it. Or maybe it's so simple that I think you are better than that. Whatever. I don't know what to say... I'm sorry... Really.. it was just a joke back to your joke calling us all dips***s.. now.. if you weren't kidding...
April 2, 200422 yr I'd have to think if Hawk was in, that they told the players mentioned in the trade ahead of time. Jason.. you'd hope, wouldn't ya. This is the conversation I heard over a cell phone with someone near where players were signing after the game was over... Friend on the phone - "Was Paul and Neal traded...? " Player signing - "WHAT?!?!?!" Additionally, and someone needs to help me here cause I did not hear it.. but did Bruce Levine report on M, J, & H that the Sox brass were "very upset" with the Score for the prank...? Maybe they told them they were going to do something for AF's... but I don't think the Sox would have agreed to this. It caused quite a stirr...
April 2, 200422 yr Bruce Levine said Sox officials are PISSED OFF with North doing that. And had I read ahead.. my question would have been answered... Thanks ChiSoxFan
April 2, 200422 yr Luckily I wasn't around to get drawn into the hype. Exactly I'm thinking. I definitely would have been had.... I'm just reading the whole thread up to this point 4 hours after it happened. I understand it had to get you guys going a little bit, but I don't think it's a reason to be mad. It is April Fools Day; the Score was just getting in the holiday spirit.
April 2, 200422 yr What a stupid Joke by those Idiots. Hawk is an Idiot too. No Ethics there just a couple of dumb clowns on the Radio. :headshake
