Why?

 

Then double the hitter up at first.

[glunn]

 

Why?

In the hope that Polanco who was covering third could have then thrown to first to make a DP.

I kind of feel that way about listening to Hawk, alone or otherwise. Yet I still do. It's difficult to measure the harm it's caused over the 17 years I've lived in Chicago.

 

Hawk is so painful to watch, but I actually like Jason Benetti, the guy who does the home games. His humor is just quirky enough to make me think he's probably using an assumed name to post on TD during games. And Steve Stone is much more enjoyable when working with Benetti than when working with Hawk. He's actually got a sense of humor as well.

Let's see the Twins beat up on Swarzak now...

What's the wind like there? Keep hearing the Sox announcers say how wicked it is today.

Wicked is where my wife and daughter were today.

I'm going to blame you when it goes 1-2-3 with 2 k's.

Yeah, I like them. They do all the home games. Hawk is always trying to 'one up' Steve Stone and it just makes him sound dumb

At least a couple times per year I choose to listen to Hawk. If the Twins are killing the Sox, listening to Hawk can truly be an amazing experience.

My all-time favorite was the time Thome crushed one to the flag pole in a tie game (I think). I timed a full 52 seconds of silence before he finally was able to choke out, "And we'll be back," as they went to commercial for a pitching change. I'm sure they had to get a new mute button from how hard he had to have been squeezing it.

Here we go Bux.

[glunn]

At least Buxton is getting fastballs now.

[crapforks]

FULL COUNT!!!!

[snepp]

Attaboy, I'll take it.

[ashbury]

 

This guy doesn't either.

Ick? Or ish?

[DrNeau]

Buxton on the verge of reaching base!

[IndianaTwin]

 

So true.

But the best is rendering him silent after a game of tirades. Thome walk off home run anyone?

 

Sorry -- responded before seeing this one. Yes, this is the one I meant. Is it still available anywhere on Youtube? 

[DrNeau]

Atta boy.

[crapforks]

Buxton: OBP trending in the right direction!!!

[stringer bell]

So a leadoff walk to Buck is like a double?

[ashbury]

Inside the park homer:  That was EGGciting for an Easter game.  Here comes Brian cottontail, hopping around the bunny bases...

 

I know lame. 

[70charger]

Glad to see Buxton lay off that outside pitch, which seems to have been the bane of his existence lately. Hopefully there's some basepath carnage coming.

[snepp]

 

Ick? Or ish?

 

If I recall correctly, it was...

 

 

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!

 

 

...or some variation of that.

[ashbury]

Ick? Or ish?

I am so way-behind. Never mind. I blame Easter dinner.

[glunn]

Not this time.

[Squirrel]

I'm not sure but it was hilarious.

[glunn]

Swarzak is pitching well today.

[spinowner]

 

This guy doesn't either.

I don't know which is worse, actually shaving the hair on your back like that or showing it off in public.

[Squirrel]

I am so way-behind. Never mind.

Yes, do keep up, would you?

[Squirrel]

Yes

[hybridbear]

If Buxton had stolen 2nd he would have scored from 2nd on Kepler's single.

[ashbury]

Close.
