Hell of an honor.

The Critic Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I enjoy the Hawk, except when he goes on his "umpires hate us" rants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 No Hawk... I like Black Jack alot though. He and Ventura would be a nice 1-2 in the booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am listening now..now DJ is the talking one much like Hawk..McDowell is so laid back.. Could McDowell end up being a regular broadcaster for the White Sox?

I think part of it is that DJ doesn't have to worry about stepping on Hawk's toes. These two just shoot things off each other as if they were just talking as friends.

DJ is also throwing some analysis into the gaps in the PBP, which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the casual fan likes this crew less, while the more diehard fan could definately get into having DJ and Black Jack because you get a lot more baseball knowledge. Than again both McDowell and DJ are pretty funny guys so I think with time they could be the type of crew that not only is intelligent but also pretty funny to listen to (and sometimes you need some humor, especially if the team is getting clocked). I think Black Jack turned the gig down cause he'd only do TV (and even than I'm sure he's pretty busy with his band and other stuff) but I think we could be seeing the future duo, whenever Hawk retires (than again, that could be a long while). Or you could see Hawk maybe do a few less games a year with Black Jack or someone else doing 15-20 with DJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
