I may be one of the few that think so, but I really don't care for the White Sox radio duo of Ed Farmer and Steve Stone. Farmer sounds cocky and like a know-it-all behind the mic. Stone sounds like a robot. He overenunciates every word and overanalyzes every pitch. Steve, relax, you got the job. You don't have to try to dazzle so often. Farmer is really nothing more than a color commentator himself and when you have two color commentators in the announce booth, guess what happens? Each one tries to outdo the other with profound observations. It's like a Can You Top This competition. Leave Stone and get a real play by play guy to replace Farmer. Then Stone's analysis will be a lot easier to take because there won't be as much brain power coming out of one announce booth. I'll give Stone and Farmer one thing. They're a lot better than Ron Santo who, when it comes to working the microphone, should be known as the Butcher of Clark and Addision.
