The three-game pairing this weekend generated some old Paciorek favorites, as well as mined new material
Boy, if nothing else, today’s broadcast indicates the obvious. For all the nostalgia, fairly tough listen, no?
Contrast that with the snap and pop of the Wimpy & Benetti broadcasts of the past few days. Even the corny or rerun material was fun. And sometimes, there was some insight packed into it.
.@jasonbenetti: "You hungry, Wimpy?
— South Side Sox (@SouthSideSox) May 4, 2018
PACIOREK: "Sure, always."
.@jasonbenetti: We need to get you some of the new food that's in the ballpark here.

[@JasonBenetti finishes xfinity X1 promo]
— South Side Sox (@SouthSideSox) May 5, 2018
WIMPY: That's not 11? That's not Roman numerals? They use Roman numerals where I come from.
BENETTI: So if you have xfinity x1, you just speak into your remote and Wimpy will get up and change the UHF dial if you ask him real nice.
.@JasonBenetti: Can we get you a Lemon Chill, wash down the nacho helmet?
— South Side Sox (@SouthSideSox) May 5, 2018
WIMPY: That nacho helmet was good. Are you supposed to eat the plastic?
BENETTI: I knew something was wrong.
WIMPY: A little indigestion.
BENETTI: A little gamey.
WIMPY: Albuquerque, nice town. I played there in 1970 ...

WIMPY: Yes. We had these big, canary yellow uniforms, with red trim. Oh, did we look good in 'em.
BENETTI: Did ya?
WIMPY: No.

WIMPY: Not much. Two.
[Wimpy wore Drysdales's #53 with @Dodgers for just 1 day]@jasonbenetti: What'd you do in that game that the clubhouse guy took it away from you?
— South Side Sox (@SouthSideSox) May 6, 2018

.@jasonbenetti: Oh my goodness.
— South Side Sox (@SouthSideSox) May 6, 2018
WIMPY: I was scared to death, look at me.
BENETTI: You were just terrified of cameras? What was off-camera there?
WIMPY: I think somebody was coming after me. Someone much bigger. pic.twitter.com/yIl4ScnuwH
