retro1983hat Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Sidestepped a question about Hawk. They asked him about the list that was given to him about what he needed to improve on. He said he knew that it was time to move on at that point. Still grateful to the Sox. Working with a group preventing child abuse. The Sox should be ashamed at themselves for letting this guy go and allowing DJ to take his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuck the Cubs Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 They should be ashemed that Hawk works for the organization, getting rid of LaRussa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I think DJ's become a lot better over the years but I still wish Wimpy was here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I enjoyed Wimpy when he broadcasted for us when I was a kid....but hearing him now on the Nats broadcasts, well let's just say I'm glad he's there, DJ is a better broadcaster right now.

Why should they be ashamed? I'd say regret would be a better word. I liked Wimpy, and it was a mistake to let him go, but I doubt the Sox lost any sleep over it. I'm sure Wimpy hasn't.

soxman352000 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I really enjoyed Hawk and Wimpy, but I actually enjoy Hawk and DJ a little bit better because the conversations are usually so damn funny. DJ some how mananges to make me laugh everytime I catch a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Wimpy's story saddens me, and leaves me with a nasty impression of Hawk as I heard that Hawk had been mocking Wimpy for being sexually abused as a child and that that was one of the reasons Wimpy left.

I've heard that part too from more than a few people, and if true which it very possibly may be, it makes me VERY sad. No human being, Hawk or anybody else, should ever make fun of something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Dixie Normus Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hawk should have been shipped out for good when he tried to move a HOF catcher to left field. I have never liked him when he was with Donald Drysdale, two egos so big they had a reverse polarity that very nearly tore a hole in the space/time continuum. He couldn't get along with Whimpy who, I can tell you from personal experience, is one of the happiest, go lucky people I have ever met. Then came DJ, who for the first several years of his tenure, I thought was in coma. Should the Sox ever fall to me, they would be the first move I made. He gone and he gone.
