HEAVE THE HAWK....YEEEEESSSSSS!!!

I swear I think I would rather hear three hours of Bud Selig describing intimate details of his sex life than listen to this jackoff describing baseball games.

Such a whiny, gas bag of a homer.

Why so angry with the Hawk you ask? In today's tilt between the Pale Hose and the Cubs, Harrelson goes on and on about how one pitch--called a ball to Soriano--turns around the inning and leads to the White Sox eventual demise.

Here's the play by play from ESPN's GameCast.

Chicago - Bottom of 8th SCORE 5-1

Scott Linebrink pitching for Chicago
S Linebrink relieved G Floyd.

M Hoffpauir hit for S Marshall.
M Hoffpauir safe at first on error by second baseman C Getz.
A Soriano singled to center, M Hoffpauir to second.
R Theriot popped out to second.
M Bradley struck out swinging.
D Lee homered to right, M Hoffpauir and A Soriano scored.
G Soto homered to left center.
M Thornton relieved S Linebrink.
J Fox hit for M Fontenot.
J Fox flied out to center.

1. Notice the 5-1 lead by the White Sox entering the inning.
2. Notice the Sox have Linebrink, a very effective set up man, whom they are paying good money to hold leads for ONE INNING before handing the ball to closer Bobby Jenks.
3. Notice how the fateful inning begins with an error by 2B Getz--making the eventual runs scored unearned. He makes that play, no runs score.
4. Notice how even after the pitch in question--which the White Sox catcher clearly "pulls" up into the strike zone, an indication to even decent HS umpires that the pitch is indeed a ball--Linebrink "recovers" to retire Theriot and Bradley.
5. Notice how even after DLee homers--if Linebrink retires Soto--who is hardly crushing the ball--the Sox are out of the inning with a lead.

But to Hawk, one "questionable pitch" is enough to totally unravel your highly paid set up man. Not to mention what it does to one douchebag of an announcer, who having played the game, should clearly know better.

One pitch should not be enough to unravel your set-up man. If it does, you're clearly in for a LOOOOOOOONG season. One pitch does however, unravel whiny,ignorant, obnoxious LL parents and White Sox announcers.

Sounds like it might be time to get a new announcer. Or knowing Hawk's propensity for misplacing blame, a new setup man.
