southsider2k5 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) yeah i agree.... maybe its cause pbp is a little more mindless than color Trust me, after spending a few years broadcast, PBP is easy. Its color that take some work. I did like the chemistry in this booth though. Black Jack sounds much better this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnB Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 i liked black jack tonight, thought he had some pretty hilarious lines. on the HBP after it hit the jersey, "what they should do, is make him stand there and really get hit, then go to first" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Bring back the Whimpster. Whimpy and Hawk were the best. I miss Whimpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Black Jack did pretty good as an announcer. It was different without Hawk. Harrellson and DJ are good announcers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the color guy for the Nationals now. QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) Black Jack did pretty good as an announcer. It was different without Hawk. Harrellson and DJ are good announcers. Black Jack is nice as long as he has new things/perspectives to talk about that we don't hear a lot of times...since our usual 2 announcers aren't Cy Young winners. Honestly though...sometimes I enjoy the homerism, the hawkisms, and the back & forth between Hawk & DJ. It gives a real spice to conversations that could really get repetitive over the course of a couple seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I love the DJ-Black Jack combo. Jack is really, really good in the booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 07:14 PM) 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. thats what i really liked about last nights broadcast, it was laid back but very insightful. I like hawk even though he is a huge Homer, and i wouldn't mind this combo in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojimthome Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I love the Hawk. However, he's about 130 years old and will retire someday. When that happens, I could dig the DJ/Black Jack combo. Good Lord, Black Jack looked old when they showed him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Sox Fan Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Dull broadcast, but I enjoyed Black Jack. Honest comments. Nicked Ozzie for pulling Jon too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
