Was at the game and didn't hear it... can someone elaborate?

He said something along the lines that fans come up to him and tell him they know the game. He said he has been around MLB for 40 years and he doesn't even know the game. Basically said with all the complexities, no one knows the game. It wasn't meant as a putdown.

That is pretty much how I took it too. They were talking about how with almost 70 years of baseball experience between them, they are still seeing things that they have never seen before.

 

IMO you making a mountian out of nothing here B.

That rant last night was pure jock lunacy.    Not even worth dignifying.

 

Hawk used to be hilarious and insightful.    Lately, he's been bitten by a Greg Blanche bug, exacerbated by premature onset of senility.

What are you talking about? He was talking about how great baseball was because no matter how long you're around it, you'll still never completely figure it out.

Ya, i have been reading the board again since the start of the season, just didn't get back into the posting mix with school and everything being a hassle at the end. Plus I spent all the time i did have over at IlliniBoard.

 

This is turning into a shouting match on the Score.

Give us some highlights for people stuck at work!!!!

Well, Hawk keeps calling Boers an idiot over and over again. Boers and Hawk go back to the early eighties. Hawk said soemthing along the lines of:

 

"You didn't know anything about baseball back then, and you don't know anything about it now. Guys like you, Bernstein, and Mariotti don't know a damn thing about it."

 

But Boers has been firing back with some major firepower. Hawk was even studdering.

He is saying there are really bad people in the media like Marriotti and Boers and Bernstein. :lol:

 

says chicago is the greatest baseball town in the country because the cubs drew 3 mill last year and the sox drew almost 2 mil.

Hawk just clarified...he said he wasn't talking about fans, he was talking about the "boers, bernsteins, and mariottis of the media."

 

But Hawk isn't retracting anything he's said. In my opinion, Hawk is on a ridiculous ego trip. He's pushing this too far

 

Wow, Boers just called Hawk "crap on a stick"

So much for the Sox ending up on the Score :lol:
