I enjoy listening to Hawk. I know he's a big homer, and he can get sidetracked with his rants, but he entertains me.
I don't need a serious baseball guy who just describes the action. |

Shows like Fred and Fiona could teach them about team work. Sammy and Eve Squirrel could do it as well. Since Hawk likes to be heard with new words, he can watch Shushybye Baby. He would learn the word wondrous. Then of course, there is Yo Yo and Peanut. Since Hawk sounds like a clown most of the time, kind of fitting. |

Being a displaced White Sox fan down in Kentucky, I love to hear Hawk too. I understand people getting turned off by him but I'm surprised by all the talk about Farmer & DJ, I really enjoy listening to them on the radio. Probably more to do with missing Chicago, but I think they do a good job.

Anyone see today's Sun-Times piece about them? Nice to see them reemphasize that there'll be a different broadcasting style this year. Hope we can really get the most out of two former players-turned-broadcasters. Anything would be a step up from recently.

I fear that listening to them be phony to each other will be more uncomfortable than when they just come out in the open with their frustration with each other. At least that is honest and real.

I'd be surprised if there was a significant change. Just the fact that Stone calls him "Ken" shows he's not ready to play nice.

I would make DJ the full time play-by-play voice on the radio. For his sidekick, I would hire Aaron Rowand and/or Donn Pall. I agree that Rowand is exceptionally informative and DJ and Pall seemed to have great chemistry when they have worked together in the past. As for TV, when Hawk Harrelson leaves, the obvious replacement for TV voice of the Sox would be WSI's very own "Bump 34," Dave Wills. Wouldn't Wills and Steve Stone make an excellent broadcasting team on TV? |

Harrelson introduced his partner "Stone Pony" until last year when he began calling him Steve. This is just not a match made in heaven and professional civility is the best we can hope for.

That's because Stone doesn't like to be called Stone Pony. I think people are putting too much into this. We have no idea what caused the tension, but they say the issues were ironed out. I don't know why people, when they have no idea what the issues were to begin with, would say they are lying, that they hate each other and the broadcasts will always be full of tension. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. But no one here really knows including me. Hawk calls Stone Steve. Steve calls Hawk by his name, Ken. How do you come to conclusions based on someone calling someone else by their name?

No different than every Hawk ______ matchup in the last 25 years!

If everyone who calls Stone Steve is a bad match up for Stone, the problem is not Hawk.
