Yeah, it's on WGN

Which means we get to listen to Hawk Harrelson. When things are going well for the Chisox, all you’ll here is that insipid: “He gawn…” When things aren’t going well, like last night, he doesn’t say a friggin thing. He’s terrible.

Just struck out on the same damn pitch the ump called a ball in the bottom of the second. I had to listen to the Hawk’s pet phrase yet again. I swear to gawd, if I could get that dude’s home phone number, I’d call him all night long just to repeat every utterance of it.

after the second walk is just infuriating. September and the dumb fucks running this team can still embarrass us.

Keep him in the game

let him go the rest of the way. It would be awesome if Trey would just let him hang himself as a big FU to Dayton.

His command is so bad. He has terrible stuff. What value does he provide to this team that Disco or another couldn’t (for much cheaper)?
