QUOTE (harkness @ May 3, 2016 -> 04:32 PM) Is Buerhle realistically an option? I have mixed emotions about that. God no. Please no.

Like the late great James Brown, I want revenge.

Wait... we're on the road tonight. Where TF is Hawk??

Jason to me is meh... I miss Hawk. I've never had a problem with Hawk being a "homer". I think the radio broadcast is a MUCH bigger issue. I think its a damn shame that the White Sox are on WLS. Being on a non sports oriented radio station is so awful. At least with the Score (or WCUB) they talk baseball. All you hear on WLS is right wing radio outside of the game broadcasts and White Sox Weekly. Even the pre and post game shows seem short. Any why aren't the pre and post game shows available on the At Bat app? When you try to get the pre and post game shows on the WLS stream, all you get is Steve Dahl podcasts. The Sox being on WLS is awful. I wish they would have gone back to ESPN1000.

What the hell was that??

That's why TF we traded for him ??

Who's that guy?

If Brett Lawrie goes yard for the walk off, he's gonna spontaneously combust by the time he rounds 2nd.

We're on pace to win 107 games this year! Woot.

Single and ready to mingle... 1-0 Good Guys.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 08:26 AM) absolutely love hawk. Will tremendously miss him when he goes. I'm 31 years old and hes been the only voice of my favorite team I've ever known. I love the personality, I love the homerism. I love the stories about the old players. Even if many or most of them are embellished, don't you sort of want that? There's a romantic quality about baseball where guys get made into Tall Tales in a way and become legendary for it. IMO Hawk helps perpetuate that. Does he make mistakes and say stupid things in the booth? Of course. But he's broadcasting the baseball game I'm watching. He's not managing my retirement funds or diagnosing disease. This. It's a freaking baseball game for crying out loud. He's not a school teacher. He's not a professor. He's a baseball announcer. If I wanna learn more about the game I'd do more research.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 09:33 AM) Remember last year when they stopped playing Thunderstruck in April, and fans got so angry that they started playing it again in May? I've always liked Southside by Moby as the soundtrack for my White Sox. I remember ESPN playing it during the World Series run.

I know I'm late... but has anyone posted the lyrics to THUNDERSTRUCK on here yet? Is that done on the first game of the season or the home opener? This is important.

PUT ROLLINS IN!!!

Stop hitting the ball to Marcus Semien.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 10:48 PM) Phegley and Bassitt seem like good players to me. We couldn't afford to wait on them though.

...and that's why you got the man!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 01:32 PM) As a prospect with some value, we'd have to give up a major league part to get him. I remember a few weeks ago some fan of that club on the North Side called in to The Score saying that the northsiders they should do the Sox a favor by taking clubhouse cancer Chris Sale off off their hands in exchange for Vogelbach. I wanted reach through the radio and punch him in the face.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 11:48 AM) Hawk was good until he lost the ability to be impartial in any way shape or form and then began just saying things that were flat wrong and stupid. Last year in game one he felt he White Sox had the best defensive outfield in baseball and was telling the viewer how incredible their base running was going to be because of Vince Coleman. Anyone that has watched baseball had to have known that an outfield with Avasail Garcia in it was going to be bad. He adds nothing to the broadcast any longer. This saddens me because I can't say it's wrong.

I also love Hawk. Jason Benetti sounds so bland. Nothing against him, but he puts me to sleep even faster than normal. All this talk about a "smarter" announcer who'll pair well with Stony is overrated. Give me Hawk.

I saw the title to this thread and couldn't wait to read the replies

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 02:26 PM) Oh yay, a player told Will Carroll there's a "witch hunt" to see who complained https://www.fanduel.com/insider/2016/03/21/...-sox-clubhouse/ I really hope that Frazier or Rollins or Abreu admits to complaining and then tells Sale and Eaton to their faces to go f*** themselves.

To be honest, I don't care what happened... you can't MF the Vice President and call him a liar in front of the team - much less the entire world. Think about what that says about the organization. What about when young kids in the system see that? How about potential free agents? There might be a free agent that sees that and is like "Wow... that organization is really out of control - no thank you". Chris Sale should be suspended at least a game for conduct detrimental to the team.
