Our dear friend, Big Blue, makes an admirable point in labeling the Sox announcers as disgusting human beings who deserve to be murdered in their sleep while their loved ones are forced to watch after being violated with Terry Ryan's broom handle. While I'm not sure I'd go that far personally (Big Blue, you are one sick puppy!), there is something to gleaned from Big Blue's lunatic rantings...
More to the point, 'Hawk' Harrelson and Darrin Jackson are merely unlistenable. They're fucking terrible, and they make the game almost unwatchable... (which leads naturally into the fact that radio and TV feeds are not in sync so you don't even have the option of turning the sound down)... These deuchbags are so godawful that they make the droll, corporate lapdog musings of the Cub play by play guy, Len Casper, sound somewhat tolerable in comparison. As ususual, our resident corporate sellout, Big Blue, misses the point. Its not that the Sox announcers are shameless homers that makes them unappealing (at least watching a half in the bag Harry Carey attempt to say Grudzielanek backwards was highly entertaining), rather its the fact that they are trite idiots, with no discernible panache or talent, who cover up this obvious paucity of acumen with nauseating cocktail of homerism and jaw-droppingly stupid catch phrases.
To sum up, the Twins announcers are excellent by pretty much any standard, while the entire group in Chicago (save Bob Brenly and Pat Hughes (on the Cubbies' radio side) are unintelligible nitwits.
