Walk in and the Score is on the radio. It's been a long day and I am not focusing on what DJ is trying to say or read. It didnt make any sense, but didnt think twice about it as I am setting down the briefcase, papers, etc....but then I do hear Farmer say 'What are you trying to say, I couldnt understand a word you said"

Which turns into some weird discussion of upcoming promos like Halfway to St Patricks day and when is it? 21st or 12th? Farmer asking if someone is going to tell them or just leave them on the air guessing.

Dj then says....lets start that all over again and says "hey Bulls fans....." and he screws it up again, this time I just laugh in amazement that these guys have jobs and I turn off the radio.

Ed Farmer is great. The dry humor, the great PBP... he's a great broadcaster.

DJ is a problem. He's kinda stupid.

I agree with this. Farmer does not bother me. DJ could be dropped and the broadcast would improve greatly.

I find the lower the volume the better the sound, and I'm a Sox fan.

I would say the exact opposite. Farmer is a goof. The weird patriotism, the cultural references from the 50s and 60s, the irrational hatred of Fernando Rodney. The best part of the broadcast is listening to DJ fuck with him by throwing shit out there that goes right over Farmer's head.

And one more thing about DJ. He's the only guy who has ever had the balls to challenge Hawk. Stone is "the best in the business", yet he simply shuts up and acquiesces when Hawk starts rambling about something that is obviously wrong. DJ took him on:

DJ: A can of corn? What's a can of corn?
Hawk: [irritated] You really don't know what a can of corn is?
DJ: I know what a tired cliche is.

"I dunno you fuckhead, I thought you were the pitcher."

Daaaaamn. So that's why he got exiled to the radio.

I think DJ is the most professional of the four principal Sox broadcasters. He can't do play-by-play (nor can Steve Stone, for that matter, so they should stop making him try), but he's a solid analyst. He always sounds good when he does national work. Remember how everyone thought Chris Singleton was a complete dipshit, with Bernstein even cackling about how lucky the Score was that Bristol hired him away to make room for Stone? then Singleton actually turned out to be quite a good analyst? Maybe the partner is the problem.

When Hawk retires, slide Farmer over to television so that his verbal masturbation and shitty play-by-play aren't the only way to figure out what's going on in a game. Put a professional broadcaster, not a guy who played in the bigs, on radio play-by-play where you need that ability most. Of course, this won't happen until Weird Jerry finally kicks it because he's obsessed with putting ex-players in every broadcast seat.
