Sox fans already know that not even the talents of one of the best analysts in baseball can overcome the suck of Ken Harrelson. Now comes further validation.

GQ Names Hawk Harrelson Worst Announcer In Baseball
GQ released their list of five best and five worst broadcast teams in baseball, and it probably comes at little surprise that White Sox broadcaster Hawk Harrelson ushered his pairing with Steve Stone into the #1 spot for worst broadcast booth. In their summary, which lets partner Stone off the hook entirely, Hawk is taken to task for his unabashed homerism as well as his "folksy" Hawkisms. We agree that listening to Harrelson announce our team's games is insufferable. We don't know which phrase of Hawk's we hate more: "He gone!," "Hang wuf 'em" or "Dagnambit!" They all pretty much suck.
Hell No, Another Harrelson Catch Phrase
One negative consequence of being a Sox fan means having to endure Hawk Harrelson when watching our beloved team on TV. While Steve Stone's addition to he booth makes the broadcast tolerable, Hawk's ever expanding repertoire of catch phrases has become increasingly hard on our ears. There's only so much "can of corn" and "he gone!" we can bear. And yet Hawk keep on adding to his list and becoming a parody of himself. Or, as he put it, "'With this club, what I've noticed as I've gotten older is that my emotions get a little higher."
