Sitting in my car, I heard the news flash - Steve Stone would be joining Ed Farmer as the game-to-game color man on White Sox radio broadcasts, replacing Chris Singleton.
Something like this really shouldn't make my day. I mean, it's a guy I don't know broadcasting games for a team that likely won't contend for anything...I'm feeling very Cubbie right now...but anyway...it did make my day.
Listening to Steve Stone call baseball games is like watching Jerry Seinfeld's documentary "Comedian" every day - you get this absurdly clear look behind the curtain - what is really going on, what it means, how it got there, where it's going....
For the first time since 2005 I can say I look forward to listening to Sox games on the radio. If a pony could ride a horse, Stoney's would be white!

I initially hear that Singleton left for a job in TV, which would have left the door open for the Sox to move DJ from the Hawk's nest to Farmio's doghouse, while adding Stoney to the booth with Hawkeroo. I really enjoyed the work they did together in spots last year. Stoney keeps Hawk sharp where DJ has become an urban- cowboy-echo of Hawk. Good work, Good Guys!
