Who said I was annoyed?


After every game there's some dumb thread crapping on the man because he called a foul ball fair or whatever. Anyone who has heard him call games, any game in any sport, knows he messes up, sometimes pretty often.


Is it really that big of a deal that you feel that compelled that the entire LSU fan base has to hear about it?

It's ridiculous thinking.

Why is it that big of a deal is a better question.

Let's say you get your wish and get a new voice of the tigers and he sucks worse than Hawthorne, what then? I have learned the old adage "Love the one your with" tends to be true.

Hannigriff needs to do all baseball games. He delays the call after plays like you are suppose to, he gives insightful stats and is knowledgeable of both teams playing

He kinda already is. He has made some mistakes from time to time and nobody grills him

Hawthorne must be hung like a mule and running around with a lot of peoples wife as much vitriol he receives on here

I'm not talking about getting a little tied up every now and then. I mean you can't even follow the game with Hawthorne and people want to give him a break just because he is an "LSU" guy.

For Christ sakes tonight he called the auburn pitcher Wingenter........ wing-eater!!

Everybody has the right to have an opinion, but I'm telling you I've seen nightmares when people are replaced. Maybe they do need somebody new. But it won't matter next season anyway because the SECN is going to carry most of the games so we can watch it on TV.

To me this only adds to the excitement. When my buddies and I Listen to the games together we play a drinking game, where every time he messes up everybody drinks. By the fourth inning it's get really good

If you are fricking idiot this is true.
In Jim's defense , Life in general is hard for you though.

Jesus H, people criticize every little thing this man mis-speaks about.

If you listened to the broadcast, he clearly explained himself after. The infielder made a throwing motion to first base but the ball did not cleanly come out of his glove. So, from where he was sitting, I could see how it may looked like a throw to first. BUT, the whole point he was trying to make was that the throw, if made, would have been late regardless.

Hawthorne bashing is like :beatdeadhorse: . I've grown accustom to his verbal antics over the years. It would feel odd listening to someone else. I will say however, the one thing I can't stand is:

"Here's the windup...
...
...(read War and Peace)
...
...(get Starbucks)
...
and the pitch."

If you honestly cannot follow the game cleanly by listening to Jim, you must have some sort of developmental disability.
