May 26, 200520 yr Author DJ just tried to get the Pope to sing either Culture Club or Van Halen in the top of the ninth.

May 26, 200520 yr huh?? are you being serious, like the actual Pope?? Does DJ have connections or something.. Me Confused.
May 26, 200520 yr QUOTE(traydragen @ May 25, 2005 -> 11:45 PM) Wow i feel like an ass now. As you should.
May 26, 200520 yr well there has been considerable turnover in the Vatican lately, so it's understandable.

May 26, 200520 yr The name of this thread sounds like a joke. (Jesus) Christ, DJ, and the Pope walk into a bar...
May 26, 200520 yr As you should. LOL is it just me or does this thread title not make any sense? B/c i want to know what is being talked about, I really do.

May 26, 200520 yr I thought there were a few hilarious moments. Specifically, DJ's "might as well Jump, Jump" and when he said "that just sucks" referring to the Sox being 14-38 in their last 52 games in Anaheim. How soon until Hawk can fly with the team again?
May 26, 200520 yr Darrin Jackson and Donn "the pope" Paul and their announcing techniques or lack there of. Thank you very much Kalapse, for clearing this up for me. :banghead
May 26, 200520 yr Does anybody else pay more attention to the game than what the announcers say and just sit back and enjoy listening to guys who love the team as much as they do? Maybe I'm in the minority... Or maybe some people just like to b****...
May 26, 200520 yr I did appreciate the "that just sucks" line. Why is Hawk out now? Was this expected post-surgery? Is he not traveling? One inquiring mind wants to know!

No, I'm not debating whether or not the game was well announced. Until the bottom of the 9th inning, I had been listening to ESPN 1000 returning from work. I was merely asking Hideaway to explain why DJ and Don had "reached a new low." For anyone not watching the broadcast, as was my situation, they would have had no idea.

May 26, 200520 yr Yeah but I get that feeling of "you never know what's going to happen next" when the Pope and DJ are in the booth. Hawk and DJ is solid but very boring at times in the conversation dept.
May 26, 200520 yr I think if DJ and the Pope had more time together in the booth they would be better. It seems like the Pope is not very comfortable and DJ's always trying to get him to open up and say something. However, nothing beats the Hawkeroo.
