What about Mario? He's got serious podcast experience.

It never ceases to amaze me that Brooks takes the time to answer fans' emails like that, and with such sincerity.

 

Whatta guy. Gotta love him.

Brooks is too awesome.

He is a god. We invited him out to the patio party for all that are going. Hopefully he will have the free time to stop by.

Yahtzee,

 

You might want to check out signatures 372 and 650.

Haha, 372 made me laugh out loud.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

This has had a great response so far.

700 is great. We've had massive slowdown lately and I'm pretty sure we've gotten all the signatures we can save a couple hundred or so that will slowly leak in.

 

1,000 was the goal, but 700 is fantastic. Brooks emailed me again and said he would mention this to John Rooney. LONG LIVE BROOKS!

Dude, one is plenty.

I don't plan to listen either way.

I can replace him in the booth with Farmio? I do take a Jounalism class? And I am head of the Sports Committee? Me and Farmio --

If they hired you to do radio play by play I'd have to rethink my White Sox fandom.

I think after everyone heard my audio FutureSox update that I'm the obvious choice. Silky smooth.

I think my signature somehow got deleted in the deleting of the troll's garbage. Signed again though.

uh huh. With out a doubt.

I don't think this will do anything...but I signed...something tells me Rooney might want a change of pace...he does have TV experience and could maybe expand on that.

A good guess is, the Score already has someone in mind whom station mgmt. is comfortable with and/or is a part of their corporate affiliate network.  I'm not talking about any of the Score hosts here, but the radio industry is pretty well connected and it's a big corporation so quite possibly it's someone from another market.

 

I would think they'd find someone who is capable of doing some PBP so Farmer won't have to carry the entire load.

 

As for Wills, it doesn't make sense if they intend for Farmer to do most of the PBP.

No offense to Farmio,but he's not a exciting PBP guy,he's a middle innings guy.

 

They need a exciting play by play man.

 

But here's a DON'T HIRE THEM list I came up with

1.Lorn Brown (Boring!)

2.Pat Hughes (HELL NO!)

3.Ron Santo (HELL NO,TO THE 25TH POWER!!!)

4.Jeff Brantley

5.Anybody who worked at one time or another for ESPN

6.Mike Murphy (He'll keep talking about the '69 Cubs.Oh wait,that's Santo's gig)

 

On the other side of the fence.Here's a HIRE THEM (If John Leaves) list.

1.Dave Wills (Money talks.And The D-Rays suck,so come on home,Dave!)

2.Joe McConnell (Is he still around?)

3.Wayne Laravee (Does a good baseball game)

4.Jim Durham (maybe)

5.Jeff Torborg (since he has the vote of confidence on this board.I like him too)

6.Steve Stone (A longshot,but what the hell!)

7.Bob Ucker (I know,wired idea.)

I would love to have Bob Uecker announce Sox games.

Seriously...how many baseball fans are there in existence who see a pitch fly way the heck away from the plate and don't mutter to themselves "Just a bit outside", a-la Uecker in Major League
