I fear the White Sox might die as well the day he stops. That being said, "just a loooooong strike".

the bad guys lead two nothing, and the good guys are coming to bat

 

that was good morning good afternoon and good night.

 

HE GONE!!

 

he looks up you can put it on the board Yes! YES! HELL YEA!!

 

When the ball comes down, this ball game is OVA!!

I tell you, each and every day he reminds me of one guy, with the way he plays and the way he is in the clubhouse, and that's Catfish...

Has anybody ever thought of what Whitesox baseball would be without Hawk? I'm not looking forward to the day Hawk either retires/dies. I'm going to cry like a little b**** when there's no more Hawk.

 

I'm certain that Hawk could be replaced by a guy working a soundboard and nobody would know the difference.

 

In fact, I would like it if whoever replaces Hawk uses a sound clip for home run calls.

As so for my partner, Steve Stone, our Hall-of-Fame Producer Jim Angio, up here in the booth, the Mayor, "Mean Joe Grube", this is the Hawk. So long, Everybody!

what a beautiful play by (opponent inf/of), well (sox player) got robbed of (the outcome of what would of been the hit). 99.9% of the time thats a hit.

Some old ones I haven't heard in awhile but loved...

 

"That's a Lance Johnson jump right there"

 

On an 0-2 count, "You gotta cinch it up and hunker down" or "bow your neck."

 

And my all-time favorite:

 

"You coulda hung out all the drawers in door county on that rope."

"and before we show you our picks to click, you at home select yours.."

That'll be the day I can watch White Sox baseball without it bearing near-unbearable.

 

STRETCH! STRETCH!

DAGGUMMITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

 

He was bearable to me until he lost the ability to judge any flyball and started compensating for it by yelling "stretch stretch!" and ending it with his trademark "DAGGUMMITTTTTTTTTTTTTT!" Which happens almost every inning.

For real. After all of these years has he not learned to just look at the closest outfielder to judge whether the ball is catchable?

I tell you, each and every day he reminds me of one guy, with the way he plays and the way he is in the clubhouse, and that's Catfish...

His love of Catfish is my favorite, you could play drinking games and get bombed every game for the number of times he talks about Catfish.

Except when it's the other team hitting fly balls. Soriano hit that homerun last week, and as soon as he hit it Hawk said, "Now that's a major league pop up." The ball then proceeded to land in the bullpen.

I remember 2 years ago, for a while, he changed his homerun call, I just couldn't remember what it was

Not really Hawkisms, but two of my favorite all time Hawk moments are awkward passages with DJ (I'm paraphrasing):

 

Sometime in 2002 or so

 

DJ: "I really think we have a shot to win at Oakland this year."

Hawk: "....."

DJ: "I think this team could win two of three."

Hawk: "....."

DJ: "....."

Hawk: "....WHY?..."

DJ: "I don't know don't you think this team could win this series?"

Hawk: "...."

DJ: "....."

Hawk: "......No....."

 

 

After a long rain delay in 2003 or 2004 at home

DJ: "I think it would be kind of interesting to start games at 9pm."

Hawk: "....."

DJ: "You know, shake things up a bit"

Hawk: "....."

DJ: "....."

(long 2 minute silence)

Hawk "....NO....."

That's hilarious. I enjoyed the friction between those two.

I have never heard that one.

 

That's because it's actually "you coulda hung out all the drawers in COOK County on that one".

"Gas, grab some bench"

"[player] hit a frozen rope"

"[player] hit a screaming mimi"

"Get foul, get foul, it will/wont"

"COME ON TIMO!"

That's hilarious. I enjoyed the friction between those two.

It definitely got awkward at times. It happens with DJ and Farmer now as well. DJ just says some weird s*** that leaves you saying in your head "WTF??" and then nothing comes out of your mouth and there's dead air.

"Get on back there".

 

"The Big Hurt".

 

"Look at that play by

 

"The bad guys nothing and the Good Guys coming to bat"

 

 

"C'mon, 1st and 3rd 'em right here, [whoever]!"

"he bow and arrowed that one outta here!"

I don't care what anyone says, I love DJ. Some of this s*** he says is so awkward and so ridiculous that it's absolutely hilarious.

Yeah he's great, liked him on tv and like him on radio as well. The awkwardness is part of what makes him great too, it's very entertaining and that's a big part of the broadcast when you're doing something like baseball.

All hat....no cattle.

That's
