+1. I'll miss him when he's gone.

The end is near though. Here's hoping he goes out with a bang.

I think it's laughable that anyone would think that a childish announcer is "holding umps accountable".

He just sounds like a spoiled brat.

30 a day. That would be something like nearly triple the next most prolific poster. Maybe you should consider a few off days.

No thanks.

Oh sweetheart, it was not an offer. It was a suggestion. You simply talk too goddamn much. Like perhaps a woman does. 30 posts a day is pretty much 20x as much as anybody would ever want to hear from anyone.
Just letting you know how annoying you are.

Have a great night. And for the love of Mike, stop posting every single mindless thought you have.

Yours in love and dirty sex,
J.A.C.K.

But get that post count up and feel more relevant. Do you feel like you are one of the most important people on this site now? Do you feel less insignificant in your life as you rise up the ranks of the post count statistics? I know for a fact that you routinely sort the memberlist by post count. Do you feel a sense of pride and belonging as you increase your "rank"?

Maybe I just believed the board rumor mill that said you were JACK.

I like Darkside very much a lot.

My Dear Interweb friend DickSlide,

Not everything is about you either. You have been absent for the last several months. Why not continue the habit of finding yourself somewhere else? No one found you particularly interesting either, and you are also a super post count fuck as well.

Your Pal, who loves you,

J.A.C.K.

I feel like I need to say it again. We had a player and a manager ejected from the game for arguing with an umpire about how bad of a job he was doing.

But we are mad that the home team announcer shared the same sentiment...

Can anyone explain why it's acceptable, and in many cases applauded for two members of the White Sox to get thrown out of a game but an announcer, who truly doesn't matter on the field, is the subject of scorn for his thoughts?

People hate Hawk. That's the best I can come up with.

_________________

People that aren't Sox fans hate Hawk. Some Sox fans find his shtick tiresome and somewhat annoying. Like BRick said, they'll likely miss him when he's gone. He gets on my nerves sometimes but it's tough to imagine a game without him. He doesn't understand WAR like Len does though.

I thought I saw him walkin' up to The Hill
With Elon, Tulsi, and Don

Agreed.

He can be annoying at times but he's ok.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Well, he did go out of his way to say an umpire doesnt know the game and needs to be retrained.

Thats a little much

I thought his rant in Tampa at the end of May was a lot worse than this. He said this tape should be sent to the league offices to show how bad Barksdale was on Saturday. I didn't hear him say anything about training.
