The Hawk was not pleased with Trouts grand slam

[Guest]

How has this guy been employed for so long? Do White Sox fans enjoy having an announcer like that?

The more astounding fact is that back in the late '80s the team like his announcing so much they actually made him GM.

It shows a complete disregard for the other team. Zero class.

no wonder the big hurt never made it to the playoffs

I think the guy is the among the worst announcers I've ever heard.

 

Well, besides Jose Mota.

[yk9001]

..YES

 

i wish the vid was al ittle longer

 

I was just thinking the same thing.

 

Hawk never has bothered me.

[Blarg]

I can't possibly see how. I would honestly be embarrassed to have him announce for my team. Some of those phrases he uses... wow

 

Oppo taco.

 

'Nuff said.

[yk9001]

He's an act, right?

 

Not sure why he upsets people.

 

Our color guy spends years teaching us about turning your hips and keeping your weight back, all while saying nothing interesting.  

 

Whaddaya gonna do?

This statement is incorrect.

Then explain how he has 68 PA in the post season...

[Blarg]

Since he had 5 rbi those are considered false stats.

hawk shoulda channelled some "Harry Doyle" (from "Major League") with a decent call, "Ohhhhh, shit.."

 

I hope Sale grabbed his own bat to flip-out with; that would be annoying if it was your favorite stick.

The Hawk is a world-class homer, but he has a likeable side.  I enjoy his passion.

 

I'm sorry WGN dropped the WS and Cubs.   But their ratings were awful and couldn't sustain the lack of advertising revenues.
