May 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ May 24, 2013 -> 10:34 PM) Extra innings are just no good for your health in the long run. They're ok when you're drunk and Hawk is going nuts about blown calls. Otherwise, I completely agree.

May 25, 201312 yr An interesting night. On the bright side, Danks gave us enough to be slightly encouraged, Konerko is heating up, Keppinger is no longer useless and Hawk went full Hawk.
May 25, 201312 yr Oh these are the nights where there is simply nothing else like the Hawkeroo...reminds me of the mid-80's Cubs broadcasts when Harry was drunk...s***, it's even the same damned color guy...Steve should be able to write a book one day...instead of Tuesday's with Morrie, it can be Afternoons with Harry, Evenings with the Hawkeroo
May 25, 201312 yr It seems to me Kepp is doing a lot better of late. I would think his average is pretty good the last 10 games or so. It seems like he gets multi hit games once in a while, and of course, tonight's big hit.

It seems like he gets multi hit games once in a while, and of course, tonight's big hit. Since Keppinger was dropped to 7th or lower in the order on 5/14, he's batting .314/.342/.444. Also Rios hitting streak goes to 18 and Gimenez with a big 2 out RBI. Thank you Robin for finally getting him back in there against a RH. Hope we see more of it. Danks pitching decently was huge even if it was the Marlins.
May 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 25, 2013 -> 12:26 AM) So does Hawk get blowback for this outburst towards an ump? That outburst wasn't nearly as bad as the call.
May 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 24, 2013 -> 09:26 PM) So does Hawk get blowback for this outburst towards an ump? I think so, considering he is sort of on "probation" for doing this several times now. He said a few times "How long is it going to take?" Meaning either when will Angel Hernandez get fined or suspended, or perhaps even demoted, I assume...He then went on to mention just how commonplace it is for Angel to miss a call, including the "Just flip a coin, Angel" about 4 times... Those are pretty incendiary comments.

May 25, 201312 yr Danks had some of the best movement on the change than I've seen from him. At times, it was breaking like a curve. Hopefully the loss in velocity has taught him to not overthrow the change.
May 25, 201312 yr Angel Hernandez is f***ing awful. How does he still have a job? And good to see Danks back out there with good control. Velocity still isn't quite there, but I'll take 6 innings of 3 run ball for a first start.

Those are pretty incendiary comments. Didn't Hernandez purposefully blow a home run call just to prove that he doesn't like replay (or something along those lines)? That alone should get him suspended. Hawk is right though, Hernandez constantly blows calls.
May 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ May 25, 2013 -> 10:07 AM) Hawk wasn't too explicit in his meaning I agree with what Hawk said, Hernandez is terrible. The problem is Hawks recent issues with umps and blowin up on the air. And having to talk to Bud and Jerry. I think this might cost Hawk
