I still think Derrick Lee would be a nice one year guy next season. At least we could count on good defense and a guy capable of making contact.

I don't believe it. The Sux broadcast actually just got worse. Walgreens? WTF!

Great AB there, Cabrera.

I have wondered that myself.

Their radio crew is much better (if Ed Farmer and Chris Singleton are still doing it - those two are actually one of the better crews I have listened to.)

If I passed Hawk on the side of the road dying of thirst, I wouldnt piss on the pavement for him to drink it.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:56 pm

Idiot. Swing the bat.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:57 pm

Swing the bat you dick.

Pronk is not back he's still the useless dick of 2008

by **skatingtripods** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:57 pm

We're back to striking out entirely too much.

by **redneckofsc** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:59 pm

White Sox broad cast trivia question:

Who was the last Indian to steal 40+ bases on a season?

I am guessing Lofton?

by **FortheWin** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:59 pm

One of the guys I know who is a White sox said No because hes super annoying but also yes because hes been to listening to him for 18 years and hes like a senile granpa.

And another one said he likes him. He also said hes the best announcer and hes not annoying...

by **redneckofsc** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:00 pm

If Hawk says can of corn one more time, I will drive to Chicago tonight and beat the shit out of him with a claw hammer.

by **redneckofsc** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:01 pm

Nice pick my Hannahan. He might pick them better than any Tribe 3B I can remember. Reminds me a a 3B version of David Segui.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:03 pm

Retire you fucking tosser!
Damn Konerko

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:03 pm

Well that's the game.

by **redneckofsc** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:04 pm

YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRDDDDDD!!!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!

Fuck you ass wipe. Your mother is a whore, and I hope you get a kidney stone the size of a lemon.

by **FortheWin** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:04 pm

Well I see the normal Masterson offense is here tonight.

by **TribeinLA** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:04 pm

Nobody active kills us like Konerko. No one. Fuck. Masterson gave up his usual run. Now we need to get some.

by **skatingtripods** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:04 pm

Masterson's quite erratic today.

In other news, the sun will rise tomorrow and Paul Konerko owns us.

by **Symbolic47** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:06 pm

Hawk acted like Konerko's homer just won the world series. Idiot it was a solo shot in the 3rd inning. Calm the fuck down.

by **redneckofsc** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:08 pm

I can't figure out what is more annoying:

1. YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARDDDDDDDD! YES!!!!!
2. 1 nothing good guys.
3. He gone!
4. or when he calls Konerko, Paulie.

by **skatingtripods** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:08 pm

Konerko's 35. If he gets to 500 HR (393 now), he'll wind up with 2300+ hits (6 away from 2000), maybe even 2500, 450-500 2B, and 500 HR. I wonder what kind of HoF consideration he might get.

Outside of owning us, allowed some of his salary to be deferred, has been loyal to the White Sox, a team in a big market. Just curious.

I don't know. Some white sox fan just said Chopper to Hopper. I don't even get that.

I vote for number 5. All of the above.

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:11 pm

The worst Hawk call is when an opposing hitter hits a huge home run and he just lets the air go dead for 15 seconds. As if him not saying it's a home run will alter reality and make it not so.

It'd be one thing if he were in Milwaukee or Arizona...but he's an announcer in Chicago...where they could have any announcer in the country they wanted to hire.

by **Symbolic47** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:12 pm

Even my fiance who just started watching baseball when she met me comments on Hawk.

Her quote almost verbatim-

" Of all the games you watch, this guy is very annoying, and is horrible"

Coming from someone who never watched a baseball game in her life until 3 years ago.

by **Symbolic47** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:13 pm

Somebody get LaPorta some stick-um.

Speaking of Hall of Famers, I dont know if I have ever seen a hitter take such bad swings at LaPorta.

Ok....f$#@ me....he hits a HR as soon as I hit submit.

God love the shit talking theory.

Didn't work last AB, worked this time.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:14 pm

Matt LaPorta...... all is forgiven!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:14 pm

Don't think that makes us dislike you any less Matt. But good lad!!

by **FortheWin** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:14 pm

Edit, as I typed this he hits a bomb. My reverse psychology worked.

by **TribeinLA** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:14 pm

The biggest Indian killers I have seen over the years...

Larry Parrish, David Wells, Robby Alomar, and Paul Konerko.

Mother of God look at Lu Sucka!

by **noles1** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:14 pm

Everytime I want to take LaPorta out to pasture he does something like that.

He is the oddest player I believe I have ever seen.

by **skatingtripods** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:14 pm

Guy's a very good mistake hitter. He just can't hit an average to above average pitch.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:14 pm

Put that on your fucking board

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:15 pm

How awful does Zach Stewart feel? He gave up a bomb to Matt LaPorta and a hit to Jack Hannahan. That's hard to do.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:16 pm

All you guys listening to Hawk..... yes, he's shit.... but, you do realise your TV has a mute button, right?!

Gotta feel better than Scott Stewart who is probably managing a Taco Bell.

by **FortheWin** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:16 pm

Is Zach Stewart their long relief Guy? How long are they gonna keep this guy in here?

Probably not as bad as the guy (can't remember who), that gave up a HR to Pierre.

by **noles1** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:19 pm

Listen I HATE Matt LaPorta. I nearly detest his very existence. That said, the guy is going to get all kinds of rope with us because A) he's right-handed B) he's a young "potential" power hitter.

Teams historically will give these guys more rope because power hitters can be late bloomers.

Mind you, I do not believe Matt LaPorta is anything more than a AAAA player and never will be more. Mainly because I think he might be one of the stupidest baseball players I've ever seen when it comes to his approach offensively and defensively.

But hell, I'll take what he can give us any night.

I hate putting anything on mute. I wish I still lived in Ohio so I could watch the STO broadcast. Annoying as I get STO through Dish, but they black out the Tribe games.

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:21 pm

The best plan of action for out of staters with a DVR is to turn down the sound and buy the MLB audio package for $15. The TV is usually ahead of the audio, but you can pause it to sync them.

by **redneckofsc** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:21 pm

Hawk: "2 to 1, bad guys"

He acts like the White Sox are playing North Korea or the Taliban.

If he wasn't traded for CC he would be in Columbus IMO.
