Steve Stone: You Can Kiss My Mule!

PrintI was watching the Dodgers-White Sox game on tv today, and, unfortunately, I was forced to access the WGN feed. OK, we all know that "The Hawk" Harrelson are Steve Stone are unbearable homies. I hate it when Harrelson calls the Sox " the good guys." I can take them in small doses and I suppose I could have turned off the sound and listened to Steiner and Monday on the radio. Still, every now and then this tandem does something so incredibly awful that it defies description. I will describe what Stone did after the jump.
Stone, with his unctious condescension, was talking about how, in the later innings of spring training games, you see players with very high numbers on their jerseys, denoting that they will not be around during the regular season. So, up comes Corey Smith, a solid ballplayer trying to make a living, and Stone says, 'here come good old No.92".. It may have been 96, I don't remember. Stone didn't have the courtesy to mention the player's name. Anyway, Smith promptly hits a long HR. And Stone is suddenly silent. Thank you Corey. The nerve of Stone making fun of a ballplayer, and not a bad one at that, trying to find a job. I hate that kind of condescension. Stone, you can kiss my mule big time.

I like Hawk and Stone..
I dont listen to them very often, but I like them. I know they are homers, but for me, I like to know whats going on in the game I am listening to. H+S, are very good about updating the game, and the score. Sometimes while listening to Steiner and Monday, Charlie goes off on one of his stupid jokes, and a whole half inning will go by, and its just Rick and Charlie talking about whatever it is, that is not the ball game. I get extremely frustrated by Rick and Charlie, sometimes yelling at my car stereo, “just give me the fucking score already, Charlie!”
Baseball fans in Chicago are a different breed.. .whether its the Cubbies, or the Sox. I think H+S, do a good job of catering to that type of fan. Im assuming Buck18 is a Dodgers fan, and I say this.. There is only one Vin Scully. I’ve listened to Vinny my whole 35 years of life… The Pope could come and call a ballgame, and after listening to Vinny, I’d blast the pope too. It could be worse.. imagine having to listen, or even worse, having to look at, Craig Sager for 162 games. Thats what I would call baseball hell.
Scully...
…is an artist, a literate man who draws his references from all aspects of human life. There is no one like him. To listen to him is a pleasure that goes beyond the game itself. We are blessed to have him in the booth. ’Nuff said.
