Steve Stone will be doing White Sox baseball on the radio Friday Nights for the 2008 season...I think this is th ebeginning of a smooth transition for Stoney to join the Sox broadcast team full time in 09...He and Hawk had GREAT Chemistry when DJ had a week off in '07

Retired Coach- Earl Weaver (invented the tirade)



Great Earl Weaver quote.

Earl had an ongoing feud with umpire Ron Lucianno. It was so bad they wouldn't let Lucianno do Oriole games. Lucianno retired to become a broadcaster for NBC. When they asked Earl what he thought about Lucianno becoming a broadcaster Earl said " Let's hope he's better at this job, than he was at his last job."

gotta love Earl

What are the criteria? Greatest number of fined and suspensions?

I don't think someone who obviously has troubles following rules should be put on too much of a pedestal.
