Does Ranger have a shot? You know he's gonna apply for it.

I'll say no for Ranger. You normally have to pay your dues before you get a big TV job in a big market. Ranger has only filled in on the radio a few times. He just needs to get some experience. Maybe do minor league play by play.

Dave Wills would come back home to do 81 games I'm sure.

I would love Wills. I don't get the feeling Sox management liked him

Can't be him. Bulls and Sox both play in April, May and June. Unless he wants to quit the baskeball. But I always thought basketball was Chuck's first love.

Here's what they might do. Ranger goes to WLS for pre and post. Ranger does play by play for the home games as well. With Farmer going to TV for the home games only.

I wouldn't like it. But Farmer might ask for that and Jerry likes him. Plus he'd get more money for doing TV half the year. That pays more.

I think it would be a pretty appealing job. You get to do 81 home games with no travel. So you get to live in the city all summer. A lot of guys would love the "No travel".

So it's basically working every other 8 or 9 days all summer. Pretty nice.

He won't get it, but I wouldn't be shocked if he applied for it. Jerry will indulge him with an interview but no way he hires him.

Reinsdorf does have final say on this, right? It's not Brooks I wouldn't think.

Why is Hawk just doing the road games? That makes no sense.

He doesn't want to do the 2 hour drive back and forth to Granger Indiana anymore. That's where he lives. Because it's where his kids live.

Reinsdorf: So Hawk only wants to go on the road, and not do home games? WTF?

Brooks: You seen his wife? I'd want to travel too.

Reinsdorf: Good point. Who the F are we going to get to do home games? Any tribesmen around town who are available? What's Harry doing these days?

Brooks: What about Swirsk?

Reinsdorf: Maybe Stone will do pbp, and we can get some ex player who is just laying around town. Let's see.....Paulie doesn't live here, McDowell either. Scotty Pods? Hey How about Kittle!!! He's from Indiana so I bet we can get him cheap!!!

I did only listen for about 20 minutes. It was a good 20 minutes though.

Get Wills to come back and do 120 games:

- The 81 on TV that Hawk isn't going to do.
- 20 more on TV to sit in for Stone so Stone doesn't kill Hawk with a fork
- 20 more on the radio to give Ed and DJ a break from each other

Or just do 120 on radio and have Ed and DJ each do 40 on TV. Or something.

Just get him. I listen to him and Andy Freed do the Rays home games on the radio on XM when I'm driving home from work, and they are excellent. Wills could even make Farmer useful.
