Last night , ESPN flipped over for the last 2 innings of Sox - Indians game as bonus coverage. Hawk was his typically embarassing self for the national audience. He got into one of his Jay Mariotti Hineybird tirades, which made absolutely no sense for the National broadcast. Maybe ESPN forgot to tell his producer they were National live. Typically the Sox were en route to a loss and he did his mummy act. Good thing DJ was there to fill in. But he did get his "can of corn" line in.

It's been a bad season all the way around.

Let's get some context on a bad season.

 

A bad season is where you start out 8-19 coming off of a division title and are fighting to get back to .500 the whole way.

 

A bad season is where you are expected to contend for a division title because your ownership group acquires the then-highest paid FA in history and then your all-star third baseman breaks his leg in spring training.

 

A bad season is where you are a middling team with no direction and you go on a August West Coast trip in which you go 0 for your first 8 and finish with the worst record you've posted in a decade.

Bad season my a**.

 

Whether we end up at 102-60 or at 80-82, there is one thing that we can say all year that no one else can say...one thing that we should remember...

 

WE ARE WORLD CHAMPS!!!

 

Playoffs or not, repeat or not, I enjoyed this year for the fact that we are the World Champions of Major League Baseball...

This thread has been officially hijacked.

 

First on my offseason priorities list: get rid of Hawk. (I do genuinely believe that he holds DJ down quite a bit.)

I used to love Hawk but he has been really annoying to me this season. He isnt as bad as Johnny Red Kerr but who is?

Crazy old people rule. You`re all haters.

Hawk is going no where. Its been said a lot of times already that even though he can be annoying and is senile, he's a sox fan and we appreciate his love for the team.

I fixed it for you.

i don't mind hawk, but living out of state i only hear him maybe once every two or three weeks. he's probably better in small doses.

Crazy old people rule. You`re all haters.

I totally agree with you...

 

Its just that the expectations everyone had for this years team. In March on paper it looked like we would easily surpass our 99 win total from last year......We have been playing .442 ball after the all-star break, and just can't seem to win the games when DTOWN or MN is losing....therefore this has been a bad season from an expectation standpoint
