Hawk Harrelson. Anti Sabermetrics

[cubbyvirus00]

Oh.my.god.

 

 

My brain melted listening to Hawk.

[Banedon]

Manager Robin Ventura said before Friday's game against the Rays that T-shirts reading "TWTW'' are being printed for the clubhouse, although he declined to reveal who is springing for the gear.

 

"TWTW'' flashed on the U.S. Cellular Field scoreboard during batting practice Thursday, and the Sox responded with a 5-2 win over the Rays.

 

They're taking pride in their stupidity. Too many people in the US doing that.

[bcl412]

White Sox fans are pretty awful people.

[NewUserName]

I have a ton of TWTW and somehow didn't even get drafted.

[TruffleShuffle]

lol at this TWTW crap. it's like hawk has become a caricature of himself.

[PackLandVA]

He's becoming Harry Caray in his final years: old, angry, embarrassing, unprofessional.

 

I noticed the last couple of games Hawk's made it a point to interject into the broadcast "Baseball is about defense and pitching" and "TWTW".

 

What a complete douche!

How can you stand to listen? When I've got Sale going on my fantasy team I listen to the opposing team's broadcasters.

[PackLandVA]

Because I love baseball.

 

I actually get some satisfaction listening to that old coot b!tch and whine about everything when the Sox are losing/playing poorly. I know I shouldn't, but it's quite fun! :twisted:

I'll admit to tuning into Sox broadcasts, but only when they're getting blasted, just so I can hear the old dumb bastard mope like a child.

[neely crenshaw]

I'm torn; who am I supposed to root for in this clash of the [expletive] titans?

 

That's kind of funny because I picture you a Bernstein lover. At times I wonder of you actually are Dan Bernstein.

I've never been more insulted by anything in my entire life.

Nice.

 

There are people who think that's a bad movie.

 

Those people are bad people.

[ConstableRabbit]

Isn't Hahn pretty progressive statistically? Wonder what it's like when he and Hawk pass each other in the hall...

[Gmoney08]

lol at this TWTW crap. it's like hawk has become a caricature of himself.

 

Someone should ask him if he had no TWTW because he never won a ring?

 

Do the Sox have no TWTW this year since they arent willing, I mean it just takes the will to win to win than why arent the sox winning?

 

I figured there was so much TWTW in the announcers booth between Hawk and Stoney they should be on their way to 100 wins without even factoring in the Sox roster!

[Soul]

There's so much about that segment that I love.

 

TWTW. Can't be measured and supercedes anything you can come up with. LOL.

 

I love how after 10 minutes of arguing, Harold then wants to talk about pitcher wins. Like, no, hell no, he didn't just change the subject to pitcher wins now. Oh yes he did.

[PackLandVA]

Hawk just went ape [expletive] after a missed call on a game-ending potential RBI. :grin:

 

"Uh, oh...........Can't get him! Oh no! (pause)No! (pause) No! (very long pause) No!"

 

I actually laughed out loud! :-))

 

Hawk no-likey Angel Hernandez!

I swear, if someone could make a "remix" with different cuts of him and the nonsense he says, it would be GOLD!

[imb]

listening to steve stone tow the company line never gets old. what a slimeball sellout

[Sammy Sofa]

I wonder if knowing that the exact phrase "the will to win" is in Moneyball would cause Hawk to have a stroke or something.

[sneakypower]

the fourth NO! in that clip really makes it

[ConstableRabbit]

Agree -- that was the best part.

I was amused yesterday watching the game by the fact that it wasn't anything the Cubs did right that won them the game, it was all failings of the Sox. Morons.

Clearly you haven't watched enough Sox broadcasts. The White Sox have never been beaten, the only lose when they give games away.

 

They're quite charitable like that.

[bukie]

Yes, the typical White Sox broadcast contains only good guys, and the other team may as well not even exist. The White Sox either win easily against a bunch of nobodies, or beat themselves.
