June 17, 200619 yr 1. Hawk goes over the meaning of Heineybird, direct result of latest s*** piece by marriot. "A hineybird is a bird that flies around in perfectly executed concentric circles until finally it flies up its own behind, and *POOF*, disappears forever." 2. DJ- When Quinton McCracken comes to the plate, DJ goes here is the brother of Phil..haha
June 17, 200619 yr I thought it was great when Hawk was telling DJ about him going to lots of Highschool games in FL, and DJ responds with "you can't be going to game, people will be coming up to you yelling HAWK! HAWK!" ahh classic.
June 17, 200619 yr QUOTE(wsox08 @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 01:11 PM) I love Hawk and DJ. They are really beginning to develop some nice chemistry.

"A hineybird is a bird that flies around in perfectly executed concentric circles until finally it flies up its own behind, and *POOF*, disappears forever." The funniest part of that was when DJ immediately afterward said "That's kind of like a Phoenix. Wait, no. No it's not." So off-base on that one.
June 17, 200619 yr I like how DJ snidely made the remark that Hawk appearing in one of Moron's articles actually gave Hawk some press. I think DJ appreciated the irony in his statement. I think the irony was lost on Hawk.
June 17, 200619 yr I thought Hawk was nobody without Wimpy. DJ is almost Wimpy-like. I actually enjoy Hawk - he's a homer and not afraid to show it.
June 17, 200619 yr DJ is just far and away better than Hawk. DJ gets me to laugh a whole lot these days.
June 17, 200619 yr Yeah, DJ has really grown on the job, going into last year I really couldn't stand him, nowhe is an excellent color guy and a good complement to Hawk.
June 17, 200619 yr Does it seem to anyone else that DJ is just flat out smarter than Hawk? I just get that feeling.

June 17, 200619 yr DJ has really improved. He may be smarter than Hawk, but I don't think so baseball-wise. Besides, although DJ did work Phil McCracken into the telecast, he can never match Hawk working Catfish and Yaz in almost every night. We are due for a Frank Howard story tonight. I love the Hawk.
June 17, 200619 yr Kinda laughed at Hawk tonight on one of his stories.. "If the pitcher had 4 pitches, and was getting them over, I had no chance. If he had 3 pitches he could get over, I still didn't have much of a chance. About the only time I had a chance is if the guy was a 2 pitch pitcher, and couldn't get one over."
June 18, 200619 yr Hawk played in Crosley Field. lol They are on tonight, I've been watching a tape of the game and it's been very entertaining.

Everytime I see McCracken I laugh my ass off thinking of "Phil", and they also have a player named "Freddie Sanchez" which always makes me think of "Dirty Sanchez.

June 18, 200619 yr Hawk and DJ are great, make me laugh all the time, best accouncers in baseball i get pissed when ESPN takes the game and throws two \"all star\" announcers out there. sometimes i even mute .
June 18, 200619 yr I must be in the minority when I say that I'm tired of Hawk's rants on Mariotti during the games. All he is doing is giving him free pub. Stick with the game, Hawk.
June 18, 200619 yr I think Mariotti vs Hawk is probably one of the funnier things that has gone on in CHicago media in a long time. Both of them repeat their ridiculous mantra about each other pretty much every time they mention one another. Its the same thing, every time. Mariotti calls Hawk a complete homer/Reinsdorfs mouthpiece, Hawk calls Mariotti a hineybird, every time. they cannot ignore each other, Hawk would have to fill 5-10 minutes of airtime with something else and Mariotti would have to come up with column filler every other day. Mariotti used to really aggravate me with his columns, but not so much anymore. I see just as much as he does, and honestly I think this entire website(individually) has more baseball acumen/IQ/knowledge than Jay could ever have. His columns are more of a joke and knee-jerk reaction than anything else. Hawk is just a doddering old fart who is set in his ways and doesnt like hearing about his boss and himself and his team getting ripped so he tells the hineybird story(which was funny for a while, but now its getting old). I take em both with a nice dose of salt.
June 19, 200619 yr Jay and Hawk are both entertainers. They are almost like Pro-Wrestlers with as outlandish as they sometimes get towards each other.
June 19, 200619 yr QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 04:32 PM) Does it seem to anyone else that DJ is just flat out smarter than Hawk? I just get that feeling. Hawk seems like a backward idiot to me. And I ain't just whistlin' dixie or flying around in circles, either.
June 19, 200619 yr does anyone know why hawk calls a broken bat hit a matt abatacola? i know who abatacola is but i dont understand where the new term came from.
