C'mon, Boyd. You know damn well that won't happen. Moral will likely strikeout.

Guys, I don't know what's wrong with Brent Morel in the early going. I know it's early, but 28 strikeouts already for the White Sox 3B to go along with a .188 BA in 80 at-bats.

Dammit Jake.

He was in a groove and he took forever with Avila for some reason.

Not good to see Peavy get 122 pitches this game.

I don't think I've been this angry at the White Sox since the day they traded Harold Baines and this is a day where Jake Peavy was brilliant and Gordon Beckham was spectacular.

Assholes.

Man, Melton took Thornton apart in the postgame show. It was refreshing on a network owned by the teams and loaded with house men. I have seen Thornton with nasty stuff this season though. He was pretty strong until late this week. But he can't close ballgames. He's proven it time and time again. It seems the only people who don't realize that fact just happen to be the ones making important decisions for the White Sox.

Another example of why Hawk is the best in the game.

I'm not sure why people consider that "bad announcing" unless they're blind. What the fuck is there to be said? That's exactly what I want as a Sox fan. Maybe some people would prefer Rongey on the broadcast telling everyone how it's not really that bad and Matt Thornton is one of the best closers in the game and citing some numbers to back it up. For me, the silence is golden. No need to say anything. I can watch Peralta fist pump his way around the bases. Do you require Hawk to explain what just occurred? I don't.

As a non-Sox fan (and not a Sox-hater) I think Hawk's homerism as a broadcaster is a good thing, but it's kind of embarrassing when he pouts like that.

I totally disagree. What do you and Deadspin want him to do? Yell, JHONNY JUST GOT ALL OF THAT ONE! SOX LOSE!!!!? He hit the homer. Game over. Nothing left to be said. Anyone who needs to hear a television announcer say, "Home run" at that point is too goddamn dumb for words.

There's gotta be at least the slightest inkling of objectivity, or at least an attempt at showing some insight to the game itself. It took over a minute before Stone finally stepped in an began breaking it down while Hawk reveled in being butthurt.

Why does there have to be objectivity? We're talking about a guy who calls the opponent "bad guys". How did Stone "break down" a game-winning homer? It was obvious what occurred. I don't know what you could say about it.

There are lots of things to criticize Hawk about, but the long pauses during the broadcast are not among them. I don't think the fan really needs incessant chatter. Sometimes the game speaks for itself. I know Hawk felt exactly the way I felt when Peralta hit that ball. I didn't need him to tell me what happened. I can't imagine anyone did.

I agree with JORR.

The not talking thing isn't nearly as bothersome as the umpire conspiracy.

It's tv. You can see what's happening.
