[Brock Beauchamp]

I don't mind Hawk at all, maybe cause it's only get to hear it 3-4 times a hear on those WGN games. But I like him, kind refreshing in a weird kinda way.

You like him because you're a sadist.

[DPJ]

Well I continue to watch Twins Baseball so I guess you're right.

[Auto7]

Well, good first inning for blacky.

[DPJ]

3 flies outs for Blackburn...that's always a good sign for Blackie.

[USAFChief]

In the pregame, Gardenhire said they were going to give Plouffe tomorrow and if he couldn't swing, he was going to the DL.

That sounds vaguely familiar.

[TheLeviathan]

That sounds vaguely familiar.

Yes, but it can't possibly be the fault of the organization. No one has quoted them in the paper saying "Yeah...we suck" so it's probably not true.

Bu-but i mean they only went 350 feet and not 450 feet.

Be patient, it's only the 1st.

Careful you don't pull a muscle. Stretch out well before reaching that far.

[Auto7]

Angel hernandez apparently wants this game to be done early.

[twinsnorth49]

Konerko's SO should be credited to the ump, not Blackie.

[USAFChief]

Well, there goes the perfect game.

[CDog]

Did Dozier get shot on that play?!?!

[Auto7]

Here it comes.

[USAFChief]

Well, there goes the no hitter.

[Ultima Ratio]

Impressive.

I feel like I'd really hate Hawk if I was a White Sox fan and he called every one of my team's games. But from the outside looking in, he's such a clownish homer that it's hard not to be entertained, especially when the Sox are losing.

Looked like the ball bounced completely the other way,

[USAFChief]

Well, there goes the shutout.

Edit: on an 0-2 pitch, no less.

After living in Chicago for a few years, I can confirm this is very much true. Even many White Sox fans acknowledge how unbearable he can be.
