If I haven't made the Sox blogosphere crowded enough, we have to make room for two more no-namers -- Hawk Harrelson and Darrin Jackson. Yep, they now have their
own blog on WGN's site, and it'll be interesting to see how that develops when the regular season kicks in.
A few observations:
1) I can't believe this blog will go on with Hawk's type being so small. By mid-April, expect to see Hawk's font
increase in size.(DJ's text will remain the same)
2) Seeing "in Hawk Harrelson" or "in Darrin Jackson" at the end of posts is ... weird.
3) Though I'll make fun of them like anybody else, I'd give 'em props if they actually responded to comments posted on the site. I'll probably toss a couple of comments their way when the season starts to see how much they moderate. Not in the way of using obscenities, but I can think of a few things I've always wanted to ask him:
- Hawk always says, "Every team wins 60 games and loses 60 games -- it's what they do with the other 40 that matters." Then what happens when a team wins or loses 103 games? And if they lose a game they should've won, where does that go in the 60-60-40 ledger? Does the "other 40" only kick in after the 120th game of the season?
- Does the Sox offense ever have a bad night, or does every middling starter have Cy Young potential deep inside?
- Have you ever dreamed of kissing Carl Yazstremski?
I'm pretty sure No. 3 wouldn't make it, but I think we deserve answers to the first two.
