Kyyle23 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 So odd that he chose a travel schedule. Maybe his own personal farewell tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Only road games? That makes no sense, unless he just doesn't want to make the drive anymore. Edited October 5, 2015 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 This makes me so so happy! Hopefully I'm throwing my "Hawk is Gone" party the following season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( industry sources ) This is really bizarre that at his age he'd want to do basically only road games. Scully for example basically only does home games and some short road trips out of L.A. Strange. Guess we should all get ready to usher in the Chuck Swirsky era. (I hope not though...) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I would sometimes wonder how long Hawk can keep up the drive he has to the ballpark. He's getting pretty old, and not living close by makes for a heck of a commute. Staying at hotels and riding buses to ballparks is a different story, and so I can understand doing road games. He probably still loves being on the road, too. Good for Hawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Swirsky is doing the home games, I hope he improves and starts acting like a pbp guy and not just interviewing Stone for three hours.

TheTruth05 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 This is dumb. He should have just left completely. Loved Hawk but man this half season crap just makes no sense. Start with a new guy all season, not half of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD!!!! YES!!!! Seriously though, only doing road games is weird. Why doesn't he just do home games and get a hotel room downtown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be willing to wager that if the Sox are competitive next year, and the ballpark is rocking, he might do a few more home games later in the season.

bmags Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Glad everyone else thought it was weird that road games were easier. Couldn't he just get a hotel in Chicago for a home series? Same...kinda thing right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
