Unlike Trump, baseball has the best words.

Hawk Harrelson like typing detected. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

I hate hawk.

I hate hawk.

Doesn't everybody? I mean that seriously -- doesn't everybody think Hawk is worse than anal polyp cancer?

I dunno. There are a few White Sox fans who like him.


I'm still confused why liking baseballs kitschy words makes me a hawk fan.

Because he's the only one still using can of corn on major League broadcasts?

That's sad.

Can of corn and duckfart are great terms. However, I'd rather listen to Buck AND Collinsworth as a team than listen to Hawk Harrelson.

Re: 2017 MLB Season - The Goat Memorial Thread

Hawk Harrelson reminds me that I'm glad the Tigers got rid of Rod Allen.

There's also a Hawk drinking game. Not gonna play, because I'd be dead by the time the night is over.

Ducks on the pond. Fire up the merry-go-round. (--Don Sutton)

The older baseball guys have the best colored descriptions.

"Don Sutton is a f-cking as-shole."

You're right. Baseball does have the best expressions.

I thought you were quoting Earl Weaver in response to Tom Moore from Baltimore.

Earl was so awesome.

I celebrate his birthday every year. Only as a tribute to the greatest swearer ever to live.

Overall, I agree. For a single rant, Jerry Burns comes close, Lee Elia in close contention also.

Nope. None even in the same ballpark.

That's why I said single rant. OVERALL, Earl rules all. Not even close. For a single, one-off rant......Lee Elia and Uncle Jerry are up there.

And don't bring up Manager's Corner. Probably knew about that before you were a gleam in your daddy's eye, so to speak.

Tommy Lasorda can run with the best of them as well.

He's not a fan of Kurt Bevacqua (starts at 0:37): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzjWQF1oP2M&ytbChannel=Scripps Ranch Old Pros

He didn't like what Dave Kingman did to his team, either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIwrYH6Urbs&ytbChannel=will lewis

The 77 Series didn't go according to plan, either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9pxdNerOok&ytbChannel=ruffbiz

Twins play 22 of their 25 April games against the AL Central. They will literally be out of contention for a division title before May starts!

The only up side is that they see the White Sox 6 times.
