I like Hawk, I really do. His level of passion for the Sox is something I aspire to have. However the Foghorn Leghorn schtick has not only grown tiresome, but has also grown exponentially in the last few years

The oldest part of the Hawk's act is the constant battling of umps. We all get frustrated by bad calls, but so what? And to look at almost every strike and ball call during the season would drive me crazy. Hawk's excuse making also drives me crazy.

This about sums up my feelings as well.

It's just plain depressing to listen to. May have to get the baseball package next year so I can listen to the opposing team's announcers. |

I think we said this already, but this won't work if you're in-market.

The MLB package doesn't show simultaneous broadcasts of the same game, usually you just get the home team feed so you'd have Hawk 81 times a year anyway, but it's all moot, if you're location is correct and you live in Chicago, as Sox games are blacked out here. You'd still have to watch CSN, WGN, WCIU, etc.

Listening to Stone Pony on 670's Podcast from yesterday, it sounds like he's very happy with the White Sox organization and him leaving can be put to rest. His comments about Hawk were basically what everyone already knows. He's such a fan of the team that he experiences the high highs and the low lows. Also, Hawk has the tendency to take disagreements during the broadcast personally, but Stone said disagreements happen no matter who the two broadcasters are. It's all in how you handle it. So, nothing really new.

The Diamondbacks announced today that both of their announcers, Daron Sutton and Mark Grace will not be returning next year.
An Arizona Republic article today stated that for their analyst, the team's top two targets are Bob Brenly and Steve Stone. |

It would probably also help if he could lay off the sauce.

That ties into the other thread we had going on announcers.
