The things that I dislike about Hawk are...
a.)The complaining. And, IMO, it's been worse this year than ever before. I can understand it once in a while, it's human reaction, but some of the pitches where he says "where was that pitch?" are like a foot off the plate.
b.)The whole Griffey thing was pretty embarrassing. If he doesn't think Griffey has a place on this team, stop reading emails w/r/t KGJ.
c.)Some of his Billy Beane tirades of earlier in the year and of years past were very annoying.
and, finally, I don't like some of the subtle things he does during a broadcast. Like, today, in the latter part of the game, DJ was doing the play-by-play, and Crede makes the diving catch, and out of nowhere, Hawks goes, "YES!". I dunno, I don't like that very much. And, I would mute him and put on Rooney and Farmer, but the radio broadcast is ahead of the HDTV broadcast by about six-seven seconds.
Agreed, those are the things that pretty much annoy me when watching a broadcast. I usually just listen to music and watch the game. Hawk's interjection does nothing for me anymore really.
