They'll find a way to mess up his development, and end up trading him.

White Sox Announcers Have Inane Conversation


Tim Marchman

Today 12:19am


Chicago White Sox announcer Steve Stone has been one of the best color men in baseball for decades, and for half the year - the half he spends calling Sox home games with Jason Benetti - remains one. During the other half of the year, which he spends calling Sox road games with Hawk Harrelson, he becomes subject to the same brain-wasting disease that afflicts everyone exposed to the Hawk.


Take the following exchange, during which Stone makes a salient point about how in some cases having too much information can be a burden for ballplayers. Harrelson claims that's true of "especially Latin players." Stone, riffing on Harrelson's ludicrous claim that "they play a different game of baseball down in the islands," says, "They pretty much swing at - if it stays in the park you're swinging at it."


Is Harrelson talking about anyone in particular when he raises his ideas about how the greatest leaders retain their childlike qualities? I don't want to know.

We were due for a bad Hawk-ism this season.

We're due for a bad Hawk-ism whenever he's on the air.  He gooone.  He's been gone for quite some time Unfortunately, his body - along with White Sox fans - doesn't realize that his brain ceased the ability for higher level functioning long ago.

Around puberty?

The best part of the clip is that the Sox blow the pay at the plate at the end.

[jstraw]

Fuck Giolito.

[funkster]

Am I missing something?

[Butcher]

He threw a 7-inning no-hitter.

 

But other than that game, he's been kind of shitty.

[rok]

Yeah, he still sucks.

[funkster]

I haven't paid any attention, I assume for Triple A?

[Butcher]

I haven't paid any attention, I assume for Triple A?

 Yessir.

[1060Ivy]

Damn, he's going to continue doing this crap for another season after this one.

Unless the good lord does something about it.

Unless the good lord does something about it.

 

Like making Hawk even more of an idiot so that even Sox fans can't stand him?  

 

The lord has already done about as much as he can in that department but even he underestimates how dumb Sox fans are - demonstrating that even the almighty has limits.
