There's a lot of bad umps out there for sure, and they miss very easy, obvious calls.
What people don't like about Hawk is about how in the bottom of the 8th, with the Sox down 8-2, he will complain about Buerhle not getting a call on a close pitch way back in the 2nd inning. Most of the people that do that are Cubs fans-- specifically Irish Boy. Why he is watching a Sox game in the 8th inning when they're losing anyway I have no idea.
"And the different between that 2-2 and a 3-1 count is all the difference in this game, Stone Pony."
I do think the Sox are the most disliked team by the umps due to Ozzie's reactions and Hawks comments, neither of them help the Sox and they only make the Sox standout to the umps for the wrong reasons.
So while I do agree with Hawk to a point it is mostly because of him that some of those bad calls exist. I know it's not right, but if Hawk contiues to call guys out on TV by name, thats what is going to happen.
Pretty fucking stupid by Hawk too.
