TheBigHurt Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Ok, I may be no baseball expert, but I have to ask why everyone disses them. I've heard things about D.J. not being very insightful. Well I have to disagree. He seems to know a lot about what he's talking about. he also happens to be pretty enthusiastic. Can't really say the same about Steve Stone. I dunno, maybe it's just his voice. Anyway, Hawk may be an old timer, but he's got a lot more spunk than a lot of more experienced announcers. And as far as insight goes, who can argue with the idea of insight behind Hawk? He has quite a lot of wisdom. Anyways, I see them as 2 fun announcers who know what they are talking about. Why all the hate? BTW whats the email address to email them at Comcast Sports Net? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox It To Em Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I agree completely. I love Hawk and DJ. 95% of all other baseball announces sound very mundane and are sleep-inducing to me. At least Hawk and DJ are always making things more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 It aint hawk that most of us talk smack about it's DJ. He says some really dumb s*** up there in the booth although his HR call is entertaining......sorta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I love DJ equally as much as Hawk. They're a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Robin is getting better in the booth. He was pretty funny tonight. That email from the 11 year old kid about his brawl with Nolan Ryan was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 do you happen to know what inning that was in? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't remember. It was toward the middle of the game. Hawk said that Robin put himself in a head-lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I don't even want to think about watching a Sox game without Hawk. It won't be the same whenever his time is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyWhiteSox Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Absence makes the heart grow fonder... It was a pleasure listening to them in the booth tonight... I'm amazed people would ever complain about Hawk and D.J. as if it really makes a difference when watching a game. If you're focused on the game, I don't see how they could ever bother you..

GoodAsGould Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I love Hawk and DJ... and i love Hawk Robin and DJ even more.... but i havent found one team that can stand our announcers lol.... they have to be some of the most hated announcers from other teams in mlb.

If you're focused on the game, I don't see how they could ever bother you.. DJ just says dumb s*** every now and again. He's mildly annoying but that HR call of his is hilarious. Ventura is the s*** though. I really wish he could be with the Sox in some coaching capacity or another. I miss having him around as much as anyone else.

whitesox91403 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 My favorite hawk line of all time is after a strikeout when he would say and he'll grab some bench. I like it way better than He gone. Unfortunately, He gone has stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Here's a blurb on Ventura from the Trib... http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...tesox-headlines After a few days filling in for Ken "Hawk" Harrelson, former Sox third baseman Robin Ventura said he didn't believe television work is in his future. "No, I don't think so," he said. "I don't mind filling in as a favor but not [full-time]." Then how about coaching, especially with ex-teammate Ozzie Guillen? "I'm not saying I'm ready for that either," he said. "It's just great to hang out [at the park], that would be a great job. To show his respect for Ventura, Guillen was the catcher as his former infield partner threw out the ceremonial first pitch at U.S. Cellular Thursday. Ventura is in his first season of retirement after two decades of playing for the Sox, Mets, Yankees and Dodgers. He hasn't found retirement all that hard. "I miss parts of it," he said, "but there are a lot more parts that haven't been too bad." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthshiner Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 hello all. great site you got here. back in high school (grad. '04) I was good friends with a teacher and he was a diehard cubs fan like 90% of the McHenry county population and he could not stand Hawk. I could not stand Chip Carey. I brought up the point that Chip had no catch phrases. I think I was able to finally get him to respect Hawk. my favorite phrase is "rack 'em up."
