Hawk Probably Feels Kinda Dumb Today

If you're like me and you watched the Sox/Cubs game yesterday on Comcast instead of WGN, you were probably a bit confused as to what was going in the 8th inning.

While they were busy showing replays of Juan Uribe obstructing Angel Pagan on the basepaths over at WGN, they never once showed a replay of it on Comcast. Apparently nobody ever told Hawk or DJ either.



The question has come up whether or not Hawk and DJ should issue an apology to Joe West before tonight's Sox game. I think they should.

Personally my favorite part of the entire thing is when Hawk blows up after Ozzie gets ejected, and then after the game you read about how Ozzie asked West to throw him out.
Crew chief Joe West said Guillen acted like a gentleman and did not use profanity, but asked to be thrown out of the game."You can't blame him. It was a messed-up play that you don't see very often. Uribe is not known for trying to cheat or get in somebody's way, but it happens," West said. "He got two outs and he ended up getting no outs and that's why Ozzie said, 'You're just going to have to run me.'"
I thought it was obvious that's what happened seeing as how Ozzie wasn't arguing or yelling, but I guess Hawk was too busy wondering what the hell was going on. It's not completely his fault. Did he overreact? Yes, but there probably should have been somebody in his ear letting him know what was going on. It's obvious nobody told him.

Ballhype: hype it up!
