the People's Champ Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 and have always wondered why. Why exactly did Wimpy ever leave? Cause isnt he broadcasting for some other team now, if I aint mistaken. I miss that pudgy bastard. Not that I don't like DJ, just Tom was more funny in a non-goofy ass catch phrase sort of way. Was it cause him and Hawk didn't get along, cause I always kinda got that vibe from them. oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 jr wanted a change in the booth. Demographically Wimpy and Hawk appealed to similar folks. DJ was supposed to change that dynamic, but he brings precious little to the table. no catchy phrases. Obvious insights. afraid to be critical most of the time. turn off the TV and listen to the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 JR had nothing to do with it. Tom quit because of ignorant comments made by Hawk regarding Tom's sexual abuse as a child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom quit because of ignorant comments made by Hawk regarding Tom's sexual abuse as a child. I accept your info as high quality, and believe me I don't feel that way about every internet poster. I always wondered what the "real" reason was. I miss the Wimperoo a lot, and if any of you ever meet him before I do pass it along. He was flippant at times, but in general it was a pleasure to hear the broadcasts when he was on with Hawk.

DukeNukeEm Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 You know youre team is amazing when... The only thing you can find things to b**** about is your 1st basemen hitting HR's and your announcers running other announcers out of town.

So let me very clear. I asked a question. You f***ed up with your answer. Would you like to try again? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, without calling you any names.

But I didnt appreciate being accused of bashing anybody, especially when it is clear in many of my posts that I very much like the Hawk. Next thing I know others (DukeNukeEm) were posting stuff complaining that Im b****ing and I didnt want it to get to people ganging up on me about this. I was trying to squash it but I kind of went overboard Im sorry Kick me off if you must I understand Edited July 13, 2005 by the People's Champ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Nah, dude, you got it. Just be careful. I didn't mean to make it sound like I was picking on YOU, I just wanted to know why you've started two threads asking negative things about hawk. Lesson learned, let's go on.

I had heard about the whole child molestation but I didn't know that it was Hawk that leaked it. I just assumed that maybe Hawk was overpowering about the way that he wanted things to be run in the studio and Wimpy couldnt deal with it anymore. sorry again bout that my Irish temper got the best of me, I assure you it wont happen again let me buy you a cyber beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
