He seems to take an abnormal number of absences, this of course does not include the innings he takes off or the plays. Outside of taking off time for a stroke, I dont remember Harry taking off this much time. I could be wrong on this one, but I think Hawk seems to take off a number of those times when they go to Wrigley. I mean ever since Lou left.

I just wish they had someone better than Mike Huff as a backup. He sucks.

Mike Huff was 2nd Team ALL STATE QB for New Trier East

For no points, who was the ALL STATE QB that year in Illinois?

Back off, Warchild. Seriously.

Maybe it was an unplanned vaca day courtesy of MLB for his criticism of the scheduling of Cubs/Sox the previous night ?

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

Nope, just pointing out the number of vacation days he uses and I dont think they are for his kids graduations or his wife giving birth.

Or his comments on latin hitters and how they are incapable of walking

Hey Damaso Garcia said the same thing 25 years ago. " You don't get off the island by walking".

and 25 years ago he was right.

But in general I would agree, if you are 16 years old and living in Santa Domingo, you gotta swing the bat to get noticed.

And Hawk's current partner repeated that line probably hundreds of times in the 80's. Weird.

Yep. Just shows how good Hawk and Stone really are, and how bad Sox games will be when Hawk is gone. I watched WGN for most of the game last night.

Not sure why so many people seem to dislike Deshaies. He was pretty vanilla but wasn't nearly as bad as some here have made him out to be.

I agree, but then he started to wear on me last night.

The thing is, when a team is bad and out of a lot of games it exposes announcers.

EXACTLY! I find it ironic that for an organization that still sales "Good Time Harry" around that ballpark,if they had an announcer like him today,he would be fired tomorrow.

A game moving along at a snail's pace (like the middle of last night's) will do the same, roger.

These were my guesses. On Monday night Hawk was saying how important the Cubs/Sox rivalry was, and then on Tuesday night he is not at the game.

The Sox had a Latin player who had a great OBP due to a decent amount of walks & HBP AB's in

Tomczak.

I should get at least 1 point for that one though.

minus .25 points on his TWTB rating.

I thought it was Kent Graham.

It's a pretty good life when baseball announcers and umpires get in season vacation days
