Dear Hawk and DJ,
I speak for many baseball fans here in Florida when I say that the way you both call the games on WGN are extremely unprofessional and one sided. Both of you show absolutely no appreciation for the opposing teams that the CHI SOX play against. When the Cubs are on TV, the games are at least enjoyable and there is no sense of over exagerated biased game calling like the both of you constantly do. I thank you for reading this, but please remember that non Sox fans watch your program too.
