Just a few thoughts from me...
- I think it's cool that Stone took the time to talk with you -- he obviously didn't have to spend that much time with you, and that was nice of him. A lot of guys wouldn't do that.
- I love Bricklayer with a passion.
- I know a couple of Sox fans who aren't complete dicks. But even those guys love to talk shit. I will never initiate a baseball conversation with a Sox fan -- ever. And for the record, as much as I hate the Sox and their fans, I don't talk shit at all unless they start it with me. That's the honest truth. And why would I ever start it? No matter what I say, it always comes back to 100 years. Sox fans will always hold that trump card and that is why 2005 was one of the worst years of my entire life. Before 2005, we were on a level playing surface with them, and you wouldn't hear too much shit. Not anymore.
- It isn't just that Stone is bitter about the split from the Cubs -- I would totally get that. It's that he has basically adopted the Sox fan persona that Hawk, DJ, Swish, AJ, Ozzie, etc. all embody that I hate with every fiber of my being. Stone didn't have to go that route. He could've taken the high road, but he has decided to be a douchebag.
- It really makes me sad how this ended up because I loved Stone. He was one of my favorite broadcasters. But now he's nothing but a bitter, hateful Sox fan with a gigantic chip on his shoulder. There's nothing appealing about that.
