Hawk is horrible. By far the worst announcer I have heard in my life. That includes Carey. I'm in the Chicago broadcasting area and sometimes mlb.tv blacksout the Tigers when they play the Sox and in order to watch them I have to watch the Chicago station with Hawk announcing. He comes across as simple, annoying and not too bright. The phrases The Game likes so much are the one that make me think that. He is very painful to listen to (especially compared to the Tigers guys who, though I'm sure I'm bias, are one of the better pairs in the game) and he gets so many things wrong. He'll make statements about Tigers players that are flat out wrong (whereas other announcers I have heard, even if they are rival teams like the Twins, get those facts totally correct). I can't believe the Sox fans haven't asked for his head.
