Hawk Harrelson

[Stu]

Did anyone hear the end of the Sox game the other night? Hawk Harrelson said something like: "You couldn't pull a greased T out of my behind with a pliers." Could this guy be any more of a bafoon?

He could be Dave Kaplan

[jersey cubs fan]

Or a buffoon.

[Stu]

Or a buffoon.

 

Nah, he deserves his own special term. He's definitely a bafoon.

[RedFlash]

Nobody butchers a baseball game quite like Harrelson. How this guy still has a job is beyond me.

YOU'RE DAGGUM RIGHT WE'RE PLAYING THIS GAME UNDER PROTEST

[Bote McBoteface]

I have nothing against the White Sox at all, but I simply can not watch their games or listen to the highlights. Harrelson needs to be gone as soon as possible. I can't believe he still has a job.

Does anyone have that clip?

 

"I have never EVER heard of that called... in all my career, comin' up through little league..."

[chuckywang]

What Hawk means is that his sphincter was so tight because of that nerve-wrecking game.

I THINK WE HAVE A TRIPLE PLAY!!

Sadly there's a large portion of the sox fan-base that eats his crap up. I wouldn't say it's a majority, necessarily, but a big enough portion that they probably aren't going to dump him one would think.

[Banedon]

He's the Glenn Beck of sports announcers.

[grassbass]

I still can't believe he was once a GM.

I vaguely recall a game where ARam went deep in the 9th to win a game, and Hawk & company just left the booth/turned off their mics, and WGN just showed the Cubs celebrating with no audio. Best ending to a game that I can only vaguely remember ever.

I remember something like that. I got home from wherever I was, got on my computer and saw it was tied heading to the bottom of the 9th, so I thought I'd go watch the 9th at least. I went, turned the TV on, turned to WGN, and was met by silence and a shot of the bushes just above the wall. I wondered why they were zoomed in on the bushes before Hawk mumbled something about that being the game and cutting away to ARam crossing the plate.

[javy knows my name]

I wish I weren't a Cubs fan sometimes so that I could make my cousins believe that he is truly awful independent of my perceived Cubs bias. Seriously, if he were canned, they would be in an uproar.

 

GOD he's bad

[NewUserName]

back in the day I used to think Hawk and Wimpy were okay....I cannot watch White Sox games anymore because of Hawk and Stoney

Off of Linebrink I think. Or Dotel

Yeah that was a great game. Lee and Ramirez went back-to-back off Dotel in the 7th to tie it and then Ramirez went walk-off to win it. Oh 2008, you seem oh so long ago.

Cubs went on to sweep that series, as well:

 

Ramirez Homer (Len's call, so you can't not hear Hawk)

I actually enjoy listening to Hawk when the Sox are losing. His description of the opposing teams are always as if they were the 27 Yankees (and of course, not that the Sox are bad). I enjoy his excuses for poor Sox play, I guess.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Im not going to lie, one of my guilty pleasures is to tune into a Sox game when they're losing and listen to Hawk grumble. Its basically as though some fan boy managed to make his way into the announce booth. Then again, if I were a non Cubs fan, Id probably feel the same way about Ron Santo.

[d_money]

Tonights a great night for the Hawk-eroo - they're down 6-2 with 3 outs left. Hilarious.
