to hear Mac crack jokes about Parkins all week, especially immediately after the Theo interview. Saying he and shep "prepared" for Theo by saying let's just talk baseball with him. As opposed to Parkins obsessive preparing because he's such a "pro."

I like Mac and that is about it at the Score. Have not listened in months just find it stale. ESPN the same way. Think it is the time of the year.

Imagine its hard to do sports radio in the spring/early summer when the pro bball team has been irrelevant for so long and no free agency talk.

Baseball just started. Late August I am sure will tune back in. With Bears schedule, gonna be a tough one, but the anticipation is high this year.

Very true. This is the dead of NFL - No free agency, rosters are pretty settled, and Bears/Packers don't kick for 100 days - seems so far away right now.

Bulls have been, and continue to be, largely irrelevant - the team is improving with the new "core" and they could be a playoff team next season with the right PG and veteran additions along with a healthy roster, but the upside seems to be one round and out, maybe two rounds and out in 2-3 years. In other words, hard to get overly excited over the Bulls over incremental improvement. Parkins is afraid to talk Bulls/NBA without apologizing since that would bore Mac, but that comes with the territory.

White Sox are similar to the Bulls. Some improvement with young players, but no stars. Hard to see them improving drastically.

Blackhawks are interesting, but even Mac agrees, is limited in audience/interest.

That leaves the Cubs pretty much over the next 60-70 days. You can slide in White Sox here and there over the next 2 months, some NBA Draft talk and free agency, less NHL and your occasional 1995 movie reviews. It's not until late July where you can mix in NFL/NCAAF type previews, and pre-season conversation.

Between now and end of July, countless guests from the Athletic talking MLB/Cubs.
