Anybody notice this? About 80% of WSCR weekend callers seem to have no idea who they're calling. For instance, I was listening to Larry Holmes' solo show yesterday--don't ask me why--and caller after caller began with a variation of the question, "How're YOU GUYS doin' today?". Are these guys just drunk or what? I think so--because you hear some really loopy weekend calls no matter what the time of day. A guy yesterday was telling Lawrence that the catcher should be the captain of the White Sox. When Lawrence responded, "So you think A.J. Pierzynski should be team captain?", they guy was like, "No, not necessarily". Well you just said the catcher should be captain, idiot. And it goes on all day like this--stupid trade calls, guys who want Sosa back, etc. Weekend sports radio is a neverending nightmare.

I think maybe some of the callers are the weekend warrior type; drinking a few beers and listening to the Score in the background while laying down a new ceramic tile floor. A couple of beers and the smell of the tile adheisve combine to give the clown the notion he should call in and tell all of Chicago how Dusty should manage his pitching staff.
