April 1, 200817 yr Listening to the game on radio was awesome! Stone contributes soo much knowledge of the little things that make baseball fun is amazing. Looking forward to listening the rest of the season with better results. I am sure some of us will learn a lot of baseball from the broadcasts!

As I said yesterday: TV + MUTE + Radio Play-By-Play = AWESOME!
April 1, 200817 yr QUOTE(Hatchetman @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 11:46 AM) plus farmer doesn't talk so much now. added bonus. I didn't hear any of it yesterday, but less farmer is always better.
April 1, 200817 yr Farmer still sucks... He is worse than Hawk to me by far. Worse than Hawk...LOL in what way?
April 1, 200817 yr Stone was great on the broadcast yesterday. Glad to be listening to him this season.

April 1, 200817 yr QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 11:02 AM) Worse than Hawk...LOL in what way? Farmer's a good color commentator. As an play-by-play guy, he's mediocre. "Sucks" is a term reserved for people like Chris Singleton. Agreed about Stoney, though. He's probably the best color guy in baseball.

As an out-of-towner I do have XM, but it is not synched up with the TV broadcast, therefore I am forced to endure Hawk and DJ. How many years till Hawk retires?

XM-related question for those with the satellite radio... Can you listen to MLB games online? My wife uses the XM radio in the car (she travels alot for work), and at the end of last season, I couldn't seem to find MLB games on the list of channels you can listen to on XM's website. It appears that I'll have to buy a second radio to use at home.

I do it every year so I can listen to games while downtown at work, because radio reception here is awful. I don't think you can get games on XM for this reason. Edited April 2, 200817 yr by almagest

I've done the mlb.com audio before, but hoped that with XM (audio) and slingbox (video), I'd have everything I need for full online Sox-ticity.
