Milkman delivers

Damn it, Linebrink. He really needs to get back to his earlier form in order for us to contend in the postseason.

Go back to the Sox game. It's been about 15 minutes.

I just woke up for a nap, and now I have to leave. Can someone give me a really quick overview of the game?

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 05:13 PM) Have you ever heard DJ do a game on FOX? It was like night and day; he's not bad at all when freed from Hawk hell. Bingo.

QUOTE (SmashROT @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 04:08 PM) Seriously. DJ provides some of the most bland coverage I have ever listened to. He was a very average commentator and the fact he has made it this long in Chicago really amazes me. Not a bad guy... but just doesn't bring anything useful to the broadcast aside from his insight on playing Japan. I completely disagree.

Hootie & the Blowfish - Hold My Hand Randy Orton's entrance music Dishwalla - Counting Blue Cars The Cars - My Best Friend's Girl CCR - Green River Tracy Lawrence - Can't Break It To My Heart The Doors - Riders On The Storm Boston - Smokin' Kane's entrance music Faces - Stay With Me

When did this whole process start? It feels like months ago.

Wow, I never realized so many people are tired of Hawk and are fans of DJ.

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 05:50 AM) I don't know. I don't really care either. Sometimes I like to mute the games and I find it more enjoyable. Very few announcers add anything to the game. Hawk used to be one of them just on his antics alone, but his flavor has run out. At this point, I wouldn't mind if they ran an audio loop of "Pulp Fiction" during games. I don't need an announcer to tell me what's going on, let alone care if they get fired or not. After all, the most enjoyable experience is at the ball park where you can't hear the announcers. Now, if only I could mute the announcers but keep the sound effects... Well, you suck. We've been over this a hundred times.

QUOTE (scenario @ Sep 13, 2008 -> 11:22 PM) I can't believe what I'm reading in this thread. IMO the quality of the booth just improved 1000%. Not only is Stone MUCH more interesting than DJ (not even comparable)... He seems to make Hawk raise his game... no small feat. Count me as a huge fan of this move. I don't think anyone said they're not a fan of getting Stone into the booth. That is clearly an improvement. I think people are angry that DJ is the one to go, and Hawk gets to stay and continue to suck.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Sep 13, 2008 -> 06:43 PM) i cant believe people have such strong feelings either way get a grip People have such strong feelings because we all watch a lot of games, and therefore, we have to listen to these guys all the time. I can't believe someone wouldn't have a strong feeling either way.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 13, 2008 -> 05:20 PM) If it turns out that Hawk ran DJ out after running Wimpy out, I'll be pissed. The guy is a hack announcer. He must have pictures of Reinsdorf of Boyer or who ever makes the decision. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if that were the case. And it also wouldn't surprise me if he turns around and starts taking jabs at DJ next year.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 13, 2008 -> 04:01 PM) f*** this. Stone is great, but DJ deserves better. Yeah, they should f***ing get rid of Hawk. DJ is the better announcer of the two, and it's seen when he does broadcasts on Fox, when he doesn't have to be that piece of s***'s lackey. I like having Stone come into the booth, but I'd much prefer him to be paired with DJ.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 11:35 AM) Totally agree. Loved Casino Royale. Anyone going to see Righteous Kill? I just got back from Righteous Kill. It wasn't very good at all. That's saying something considering it stars Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

s***, I have to go. Sorry, knight, kj's gotta take over.

Thome K's looking.

I find it funny that they just gave a breakdown of Thome's "hits to the OF." Has Thome had an infield hit all year?

Lead off single by Dye.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) I guess to me that means the Sox are close, and not as clueless as "having to run into one". You hit enough of them hard, a few will find the seats. But, those three "almost" homers were probably the only three balls hit even relatively hard (or hit at all).

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 08:02 PM) Two pop outs to LF? Yessum.

Ground out, easy 1-2-3 for Gavin. It looks like a lot of the Blue Jays are trying to go yard.

Pop out to Wise in LF.

Pop out to Wise in LF.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) Granted, I'm listening on the radio, but by my count the Sox have "just missed' a HR 3 times already this game. Exactly. We're getting close to some homers, but looking pretty ugly if not. We need to actually connect on some of them, ha.

Inning. It's becoming pretty clear that we have to hope someone on the Sox just runs into one, and that Gavin throws a shutout.
