Hawk Harrelson - Worst announcer EVER!

This is classic. Hawk Harrelson going on a rant about how the umpires blew the call in the Cubs-White Sox game on Sunday.

For those that didn't see the play :

With Felix Pie at second base and Angel Pagan at first for the Cubs, Mark DeRosa singled off the wall in right field. Rob Mackowiak threw the ball in as the runners were moving. Pagan ran into Sox shortstop Juan Uribe near second base, and umpire Ed Rapuano signaled obstuction by Uribe.

Pagan kept trying to go to third..saw that Pie was being held at third and in trying to get back to second was tagged out. Pie tried to score as they played on Pagan but got caught in a rundown of his own and was tagged out going into home. After the play, the umpires placed all the runners back on the bases: Pie at third, Pagan at second, and DeRosa at first, and cancelled the outs. Ruling that once a play is made on an obstructed runner the ball is dead.

Here is Hawks rant..my favorite part is when he thinks they are calling a triple play even though only two runners were tagged.
