He's suppose to be biased!! Who's going to tune in to listen to how much your teams sucks for 2.5 hours?! And he does get on the players when they don't perform, I don't know how many times I've heard him rip the Sox for their poor bunting...

The "he gone" BS is the dumbest, most annoying, idiotic thing I've had to listen to in awhile.

The guy was already talking when the broadcast began and he talked straight through the first commercial break and didn't even stop. It went something like this:

"...great day today it's beautiful and the sun is shining and today the Dodgers will face the St. Louis Cardinals who are led by their superstar Albert Pujols who hits lots of home runs and it reminds me of that time when I was a youngster and went to the store to pick up some oranges, which we called lemons at the time, and anyway Albert Pujols is good at hitting and we'll be right back after these messages with the first pitch, which used to be called snarfblasters back in the day and anyway back to my story..."
Is that a slam on Vin Scully?

I would rather listen to Gary Dolphin, Jim Zobel, and Bob Brooks do this game.

Dolphin isn't terrible. Don't know Brooks, but I can't stand the stuttering, spitting old man Zabel that sounds like every word is his last.

They are so boring, and so pro Sox. I hate the White Sox, basically because of the announcers.
I find them incredibly annoying as well, I will not watch a Sox game because of them.

Go Cyclones!!

Re: White Sox Announcers

That is why I mute the game on TV and listen to Santo on the radio. "Hawk" is the worst announcer on TV.

Plus, it is a disgrace that he goes by the name Hawk. I know Andre Dawson shakes his head in disgust every time he hears "Hawk" announce a game.

Are you under the impression that he had the name first?

No....Dawson was my favorite player, and it is me that shakes my head in disgust.
