Oh no, I hope they aren't letting Farmio call the game solo on the radio.

Nomination denied. DJ is a great guy. When my dad was dying in the hospital Darrin came to visit him and brought a game-used bat and a card signed by the '89 Cubs. I still have both items.

That's really awesome, JORR. I enjoy hearing stories like that. Sorry about your dad.

I met DJ a couple times at a radio thing and he could not have been more generous with his time, autographs and posing for pics.

Farmio was nice but seemed cranky at one of them.

Thanks. My old man's been gone a long time, but I still miss him during baseball season.

My dad worked at a bank right down the street from Wrigley. When DJ first got called up to the big leagues his wife was trying to get their house set up in Chicago and she had a relatively big check from the Cubs made out to her husband. DJ and the Cubs were on the road. Nobody was gonna cash a check in someone else's name for a 20 or 21 year old girl. My dad took care of it for her and DJ didn't forget that.

I remember when DJ was on television with the Hawk.

DJ sure took his lumps while partnered with Hawk.

Harrelson rode DJ pretty bad if I remember correctly.

The Sox need to give him the Hawk treatment and send him on his way.

Hawk was a total dick to DJ and I remember Farmer being a total dick to Singleton, those two or three years they were together. For various reasons I spend a lot of time listening to Farmer and DJ on the radio. DJ kind of has a silly sense of humor that Hawk never appreciated, but Farmer has a good time with. That being said, Farmer is basically incoherent. The Sox need to give him the Hawk treatment and send him on his way.

What was the story behind Paciorek leaving? I remember reading Hawk had some falling-out with him, but then he reappeared a lot as a fill-in the last few years.

DJ was always good when he had national games and wasn't stuck with Hawk or Farmer. I'm sure he did well with Jason, too.

That was great and uncomfortable when DJ had enough of Hawk's bullshit and pretended he didn't know what a can 'o corn was. Hawk got annoyed and said, "You don't know what a can 'o corn is?" And DJ replied something like, "I know what a can of corn is when I buy it at the grocery store. I know what a tired old cliche is too."

I remember thinking that it couldn't be the same guy on national broadcasts. Singleton as well.

Hawk can't get along with anyone, apparently. There was a WSI thread that explained it, and although I am not sure if this is what really happened, it wouldn't surprise me if it were. If it is not true in the details, the overall gist is probably true. They lost a lot when Wimpy left.

Mod. Note: You're new and you seem to have actual knowledge of the situation, so I'm going to be a nice guy and just warn you that reviving old threads like this will get you banned. Please read the thread, "Things Every WSI Poster Should Know" at the top of this message board.

Wait, you're telling me there is a WSI thread where 90% of the posters aren't banned!?!?!

That seems like a fun place .DONT BUMP OLD THREADS DUDE. THAT WILL GET YOU BANNED !!!
