QUOTE (JoshPR @ May 22, 2012 -> 04:59 PM) I like Stacey king, gives a lil chuckle to the broadcast. I rather have hawk his passion is great, we could have Len kasper or chip Carey or Joe buck or mccarver Trust me Stacey King is one of my favorites to listen to. The best games are when Scal comes in and scores. Stacey goes nuts.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 22, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) I don't even know that the dull as bleep guys know the game all that well. I certainly don't hear as many good stories with those guys as I get with the extreme homer guy. The Cleveland guys were talking about Viciedo for a little bit. Seemed like they knew a bunch about him. But other than that it was dull.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 22, 2012 -> 04:54 PM) That's the real problem. We've seen how much "New guys" have struggled when brought in, not just to the Sox (Singleton, DJ) but elsewhere around baseball. There's really no balance that seems to keep everyone happy outside of "Vin Scully". Yeah it either seems you get the extreme homer or the guy who knows the game as well as anyone but is dull as ****.

Im just wondering who is going to replace Hawk then? Any names?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2012 -> 04:46 PM) I see what you are trying to do. I commend you, you are trying really really hard, but for the good of everyone you can stop now.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2012 -> 04:41 PM) What in the f***? this reply makes negative sense given your position just a few posts ago. Get a grip! I said thank you for explaining basketball and baseball to me. I honestly didnt know how they were played 2 seconds before you posted that.

Getting rid of someone fine...the question is who do you replace him with?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2012 -> 04:37 PM) No, I get it, I totally get it. I Just have a different idea of what a quality play by play guy should bring, and it should be more than catch phrases. Also, Stacey at least references players who played the last two decades. I also grew a bit tired of Stacey's schtick this year because it was clear he was piling on the catch phrases ad nauseum right around when he was launching his new t-shirt line. Oh yeah, did I mention Hawk is the play by play guy? Because that was the point that you have missed here. Sorry you didn't understand that. Also, NBA Basketball is inherently faster moving and more entertaining in a moment by moment basis. Baseball requires analysis and conversation that is engaging, and Hawk rarely if ever provides anything other than catch phrases and references to dinosaurs. I apologize for offending your inner meatball, however. Wow thank you for telling me what I already know and write on constantly.

It seems to me listening to other networks on MLB TV you have to have one or the other. I was listening to the Indian's broadcast. Most boring broadcasters on this planet.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2012 -> 04:30 PM) Interesting you compare a color guy to a pbp guy - thank you for supporting my point. I was actually comparing their homerism towards their teams.Sorry you didnt understand that.

I mean could you seriously imagine anyone but Hawk doing Mark Buehrle's no hitter a few years ago?"ALEXEIII!!!! YESSS!!!!!!! YESSS!!!!! HISTORY!!!!" It just made it that much better.

I couldnt imagine anyone else but Hawk in there....you must think Stacey King is unbearable if you dont like Hawk.

Im sure Hudson will be playing later today. Hopefully were up by 8 runs when that happens.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 22, 2012 -> 02:38 PM) So far, the Sox have repeatedly and explicitly said that this current problem does not require surgery. Well thats good so it may not be a bad disc.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 22, 2012 -> 02:23 PM) let me know if anyone sees an "Estimate for how long this might take for Morel to rehab". Doesnt he have a bad disc in his back? If so thatll require surgery at some point.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2012 -> 10:45 AM) So apparently Hudson is our new starting 3B. Eh, can't be worse than what we've been running out there, that's for sure! Hopefully not worse than Morel with a bulging disc in his back.

:sweep: Playing the Cubs is fun!

Ump screwed Addison again

That had the entire plate

Whats with the guy saying" Use your real glove" to Tyler?

Bye!

Thanks Crain
