I think most of us assumed this. He should have been allowed to Harry himself into retirement. |

that mfer was 77 years old and the sox indulged a lot of behavior that was starting to become bizarre. Remember how he had to leave the booth mid game to check on Frazier after he knocked his teeth out, as if Hawk was wanted or could have done anything to help? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXpXr6oZnJc |

I am surprised he never left the booth mid-game to go after Mark Wegner. |

So, basically Nas is the guy who is really lying about the truth of things. We had a lotta guys like him back when I was coaching baseball in Saigon. They talked a lot without saying anything. Nas is a shit talker. The best I ever saw at talkin' shit? General William Westmoreland. Mercy! |

Hawk only called Sunday home games during his last season. There is no way he should not have been allowed to continue to do just that. At the very least, he should have been offered to fill in for Bennetti when he does his national games. He never was perfect, but like it or not he is a legend and a character of the game. A dying breed replaced by a bunch of boring Kasperesque advanced metric nerds. On that same podcast, Hawk also said Jerry should sell the team |

I turned on him when he did a disappearing act during the 2005 playoffs and World Series. It's like he pouted that he wasn't on a broadcast team. |

I listened to the entire thing. The biggest part of this is how he destroyed Brooks Boyer. He basically said that Brooks is the one that convinced Reinsdorf to fire him. Then he said that Jerry's word used to mean something. Which I took as Jerry telling Hawk that he could do this as long as he wanted. Then changed his mind cuz of Brooks Boyer. So Hawk is really pissed at Brooks. But it sounds like he doesn't like Jerry anymore. Hawk used to always rave about Jerry. He loved him. Hawk said that the Sox were a good organization until Brooks got there. Brooks has been there for 20 years or so. Which means Hawk didn't like things for 15 years. Anyway, Hawk said he'll tell the entire story in his book. It's gonna be all about his White Sox days. Nothing else but that. |

Good. He should have been fired. He was a complete asshole. |

I love Hawk. Especially his stories. The current White Sox announcing "team" are shitty with the exception of Steve Stone who gets neutered by the idiot Benetti. He broadcasts the way a 6th grader would to a classroom of his peers. |

The Sox organization sucked before Boyer. Gallas, their pr man, was openly hostile to fans and was so far behind the times that Boyer looked like some genius just by catching up to what the rest of baseball was doing. It all flows from JR though. Aggravated Sox Fan Bob was correct, Weird Jerry. |
