Bighurt52235 Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I really enjoy listening to them announce my favorite games (White Sox baseball). I like that they are both former players, because that gives them a much greater knowledge of what the hell is going on, and I like to here stories from when they played. I just payed my first visit to the whitesox.com message board, and the first thing I see is unintelligent bad mouthing of Darrin Jackson. Luckily, Baggio and CW came in and made sense on the subject. I don't think I'll attend that site again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I think Bags and I killed that thread be careful of that site - it can be fun at times but it can sure be filled with crazed loons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I love them, especially Hawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I think both of them are quite good. It almost feels like you're sitting at the game with a couple of buddies, especially since Harrelson has been around so long. Jackson, in my opinion, has made tremendous strides as a broadcaster. He's gotten better all along, it's obvious he works hard at his craft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxPride3035 Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 How can you NOT like Hawk and DJ?! They are such great announcers and have such a great knowledge of the game, being former players and all. They not only know the Sox like the back of their hand, they know the MLB. A lot of other announcers need roster sheets to know all the players, but Hawk and DJ's announcing is so smooth you can tell they rarely use them. Besides, how can you say no to... YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARDDDDD......YESSSSSSS!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt4evah Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I think Hawk and DJ are great. Being former players (and not bad ones either) they have a great grasp of the game. Also, with the generation gap between them, they have differant views of the game. Plus they sure are better than Chip Caray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjmarte Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Was 2000 DJ's first year in the booth? The chemistry between the two of them has gotten a lot better since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Was 2000 DJ's first year in the booth? according to the 2001 media guide, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxPride3035 Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I don't care when he came. All I know now is that they have great chemistry. They go together like peas and carrots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingrt13 Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Hawk and DJ are good at best... But whatever happen to Hawk and Wimpy, one of the best broadcasting teams ever! I loved them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsSuck1 Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I think they really work great together and actually sound intelligent about the game.......... Chip Caray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkDJ Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 WOW people at Soxtalk.com like Hawk and DJ! Seems like everyone at WSI and appearantly whitesox.com think they are terrible. Obviously by my username you can tell I love listening to them. They do have great knowledge and are entertaining too. Just very fun and easy to listen to. Some people knock how they are "homers" but I like how it feels that they are not only announcing the game but truley rooting for the Sox...something other broadcasting teams don't really give the feeling of. One of the greatest moments of 2001 for me was getting 2 of my e-mails read on air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
