I liked Lloyd and Boudreau. Sad state of affairs we have today when people think Pat Hughes is a decent announcer.

Harry and Jimmy.

Those were the days.

One of the many monumentally stupid moves Reinsdorf has made as a white sox owner...but its the fans fault for losing interest and not Jerry's...and he has a poll to prove it.

Harry and Jimmy.

Harry and Steve were the best. .

I think Harry and Jimmy were better. Jimmy is a knowledgeable baseball lifer with more than a hint of crazy thrown in to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Agreed. Stone approaches the viewer like he's a brain dead moron who has never seen a game before. Always did. It was exacerbated by Swirsky.

How have I never seen that? Jimmy Shorts was probably the most creative thing done in the history of radio in this city. Imagine the puppet being more popular than the host. Jimmy could have had his own show.

That was the radio on which I grew up. Think about how stacked that lineup was that Kevin Matthews was working the night shift. There will never be a station like that again. I sound like my dad when he told me they used to love listening to Wally Phillips in college.

Remember when Jim Shorts had his own character? Was it Cecil? And then Cecil had a character? Theater of the absurd.

Kevin Matthews was so goddamn funny. Nice guy, too.

I heard Kevin was certifiably insane in those days. He insisted on having a separate mic for Jimmy and he attacked Maggie Brock as Jimmy. He had really gotten nutty at the end of his run. He became very right wing and only wanted to talk about hunting.

As a young person, I was assigned to go to the station offices to look through the records on political ad buys. They basically gave me free reign in their personnel files. I remember seeing Les' contract.

While I was doing my research, who should walk into the room but Kevin. He was a big, dopey looking guy.

And so much for that.....
