10 REASONS WHY "THE HAWK" MUST GO

 

1. Repetitive nature. See Hawkisms. He's been "describing" the events in a ballgame with the same dumb catch phrases for more than 20 seasons.

 

2. Dead Air. “The Hawk” routinely goes 2-3 minutes without saying a single word, especially when the Sox are losing.

 

3. Homer. “The Hawk” is more cheerleader than broadcaster. He calls the Sox the “good guys,” and the opponents, “bad guys.” Why is Harrelson such a rabid Sox fan anyway? It's weird. He should have been a fan when he was General Manager.

 

4. Hillbilly. "The Hawk" is more qualified to bark at carnivals than announce White Sox games. Why must Chicago, the third largest media market in the country, listen to a South Carolinian, Conway Twitty sound-alike with NO White Sox connection? But wait, he was GM, you say? Yes, read on.

 

5. GM Schmee-Em. Harrelson's .239 career batting average looks good compared to his run as Sox GM in 1986. He fired Tony LaRussa, the most successful manager in the game today, over personal differences. He traded Bobby Bonilla for a pitching machine (Jose DeLeon). He almost single-handedly sent the team to Florida. How can any self-respecting Sox fan support "The Hawk?"

 

6. Yastrzemski man-crush. When he's extra fired up, Harrelson shows evidence of a disturbing Carl Yastrzemski man-chrush, talking up Yaz like he was Jesus in stirrups.

 

7. Because he sounds like this.

 

8. Because he used to play baseball with cow patties.

 

9. Because he's been a douche for quite some time now.

 

10. Because Jay Mariotti wants to clock him. Oh wait, Mariotti sucks too.

As do millions of 40 ish Red Sox fan. You'll need to drop this from your list. Yaz may not have been Jesus, but the current owners and all those players who have worn a Red Sox uniform and pulled down multi-million dollar deals owe him a debt of gratitude. It was the 1967 club led by Yaz that completely revitalized the organization and the fan base. What had been a lackluster franchise has been moving forward and gaining value ever since.
