I don't think I am shocking anyone by saying I am not a Laurence Holmes fan. I don't think he should be fired, as he is an OK fill in and does a good job reporting, but he should not have a show. I usually just turn it off.

Just talking to someone who asked if I heard the open for todays Danny Mac show of Laurence trying to convince Mac that the Louisville bat company is worth a visit, to which Mac trying to withhold smirking says "Thanks, I think I'll pass on the wood shop."

You can hear Laurence's disgust in Mac's mockery, so much that Finji turned it into an open for today.

To which my guy said to me about Laurence "You can't fake Nerd!"

Finally, summed up nicely!

Larry is a nerd. And the best catcher who never played.

LoHo is the best solo host on The Score and it's not even close.

Nothing wrong with being a nerd.

Absolutely agree Terry. It's the over-the-top attempts to make himself look non-nerdish that make him sound ridiculous.

I always enjoy his mix of "I could've given someone a beat down" interspersed with a need to talk about The Green Lantern.

Agree. He's much better by himself when he embraces his nerdiness.

It's nice to know that a 35 year old man can lust after Paula Ferris, love comic books, and throw down if anyone dares to fuck with him. Renaissance man indeed.

If he's got a pussy grip, we will know that he can't throw hands.


He won't shake your hand. He wouldn't even stop leaning his chair back and acknowledge me when Ranger introduced me to him. LOL Gave me the scowling look, like he was going to take me down right there. Of course he was on a small stage, maybe 8-9 inches tall, so he might have thought he was actually bigger than me.

I assumed at that I might be #76 on his list!

REALLY? I know he talks like he was actually a prospect. lol From DePaul....lol....I played 1B while at Depaul, guess I was a prospect....when we could field 9 guys! It was a Club team, I only played because they didnt have enough guys!

75 rounds of the minor league baseball draft and if you have any possible chance, you get drafted, unless your name is Kevin Hickey!

The 2 best players I knew personally got drafted, played 2-3 years in the minors and quit. One guy was ALL State at SS and 2B, Played at Northwestern was 1st team All American. Drafted by the Blue Jays in 46th round, played 3 years and retired and this guy was a GREAT Hitter.

Don't know about the "close" part, but I agree that he is a good solo listen. He always agrees with whatever Bernstein says and he always tries to stand up to Mac on some pitifully minute topic. When he's solo, he's seemingly no trying to impress anyone and comes across as a much better host.

He's the guy put in the solo position. That doesn't make him the best -- awards aren't to be given out when there's only one candidate.

That being said, Rongey, Drinky, Goff could all do that gig and whip his ass. Murph? Kick all their asses.

Wow...this just keeps getting better.

I was actually thinking that maybe he was "in on it" and just kept this persona up as kind of a joke. But I guess he truly feels he is a bad man who must continue to let everyone else in on that piece of fiction.

Larry and Olin Kreutz.....tag team champs?

Bigfan, how in the hell did you keep yourself from not laughing in his face?

Oh, I laughed at him, so did Ranger, just not as hard.

Laurence is the new target at WSCR. After Finji put together the 'make fun of Holmes nerdiness', it's on now.

But, the WSCR family will not send him to the savages until he is gone, but for the time being.

"He can't do that to our pledges, only we can do that to our pledges" philosophy will preside.

No need for the word solo there.

And I like how you think Grobber is close. :roll:


Some Laurence fan you are.


And Peoria Matt, I like how youre always pounding Laurence for being a nerd, yet your Spiegal's biggest fan.


Newsflash: Spiegal is HUGE nerd.

Aren't we all, RPB? We post regularly on a message board devoted to sports talk. I text in to sports talk shows. Nerd present and accounted for, sir.

Here's the difference between Spiegs and LoHo: Spiegs owns it while LoHo says the LoHo/Olin Kreutz combo would be devastating. LoHo does everything he can to show what a tough guy he is. That story from BigFan pretty much confirms it.

I don't pound LoHo for being a nerd, I pound him for his over-the-top efforts to show otherwise.

Point taken, Dr.

Spiegs admits it.
