Ken “Hawk” Harrelson Shut Up!

by on 05/03/2010 in MLB News, MLB Rants

The whining from Ken “Hawk” Harrelson is absolutely unprofessional and juvenile! Here are just a few of things Hawk said during the Yankees and White Sox games;

“Their guys get a bigger strike zone when their pitcher is at the hill and we don’t – No doubt about it.”

“The umpiring has gone downhill. That was a strike for sure.”

The Hawk needs to shut his mouth and try to call a game that we can all enjoy. Your good guys got spanked – face it.

The Hawk is more cheerleader than broadcaster.  Why is Harrelson such a rabid Sox fan anyway? It’s weird. He should have been a fan when he was General Manager.

The Hawk often says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for minutes at a time, especially when the Sox are losing. He did this when the Yankees crushed the White Sox (12-3) on Sunday.

I can’t even comprehend more than half the things he says. Where does he come up with this stuff?

Here is some Hawkism from Heave the Hawk Website – http://www.heavethehawk.com/Hawkisms.html – Pronunciation: ho’kiz’um

I have heard at least half of them during the Yankees series over the weekend.

  • Another 95 dollar bill just bit the dust
  • Bad guys
  • Big hack, no contack
  • Can o’ corn
  • Catbird seat
  • C’mon, be a two strike hitter
  • Get foul…it won’t
  • Good speed aboard
  • He just missed that one

There are more and you can read them here.

In my whole life watching baseball (43 years), I never heard as much negativity towards the opposing team from a broadcaster as I did listening to the Hawk.

Next time I will play music during the next White Sox game.
