Sox anything is not allowed on WCUB.

I've always liked Stone. Time has not been kind to him and a lot of Cub fans have a strange blind spot w/r/t him. He was/is a good announcer. If he had just retired and said the things he did about the Cubs, I think the heat he got would have been far less. But since he got fired and jumped to the Sox he magically became a Cub hater? Bullshit. It was timing. That 2004 team was full of entitled turds and he called them out for it. I'm still a fan and would take him back in a second.

Yeah. The 2004 Cubs were ass holes to him. But Stone is also an ass hole. Let's not forget that. We probably haven't heard all the off camera stories of him being a dick.

I always liked Stone and thought it was crazy when the Cubs players were complaining about him. Ridiculous. I still think he is decent color guy for the Sox. The only real issue I had / have with him...Is that when he was no longer with the Cubs, he took every chance to take shots at them via his "Baseball Expert" role with the Score. As I stated earlier...some of those were justified shots, so I get that,...but a lot of it came off with a "jealous ex" vibe to it. But that Cubs team complaining about Stone's criticism of them...what a joke and what a bunch of babies. No wonder they sucked!

The move saves the station about $100,000

Are you kidding? That's what Stone got for his 4 or 5 appearances per week on the various shows. For 6 months? Really?

That's just pissing away money. No way the station made that back from his dumb ass.

I don't get why radio stations do that when they get expert writers to come on for free as guests. Just to promote their blog or website.

So I guess you're saying Kasper gets that from the SCORE. He's still on.

Yeah, maybe it's because I'm not a fan of either team but I've never understood when people say he started ripping on the Cubs the moment he became a Sox announcer.

The only people that did this were the ones who viewed everything in Cubbieland with their Cubbie Blue Blinders on. Very sad.

Its hard to say that he came off bitter and turned into a hater after he left the Cubs when he was fired for being critical of the team while still employed with them. I've never gotten the criticism.

Now the Hub stuff...that I get. It would be like ZZ suddenly breaking bad on the Bears the second he was fired.

Steve came off bitter for sure. He had every right to be upset, but it's not a good look from an expert analyst. As a fan of the team, it reduces the value of his opinion because you assume he's biased.

First off, I am pretty objective on Cubs and Sox matters. You don't see me making ridiculous trolling comments aimed at Sox fans.

Stone changed a lot after leaving the Cubs. His analysis had an air of revenge in it. I don't hear that from guys like Ozzie when he talks about the White Sox.

Hub sucks. Always has. Always will.
