The Chicago White Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 7-5 in a wild 16-inning affair on Wednesday. The game would make history for a couple of reasons, but ultimately it might be remembered most for Hawk Harrelson's call (or lack thereof) on Kyle Seager's 14th-inning grand slam.

With the White Sox leading 5-1 in the bottom of the 14th, the Mariners' third baseman takes Chicago closer Addison Reed deep to tie the game at 5-5. The WGN play-by-play voice/unabashed homer, who just two weeks ago lost his composure on a blown call in extra innings, is his usual subjective self as he realizes what's unfolding.

Harrelson is rendered speechless for a full forty seconds as he watches Seager's blast land in the seats. Is he too shocked to describe the moment? Is there something medically wrong? Maybe he's taking his most recent blow-up to heart and deciding to show some restraint? Whatever the reason, it's a par for the course for Harrelson and his long track record of homerism in the booth. Harrelson has given the silent treatment before, and this one clocks in at 40 seconds of dead air.

After all of that, the White Sox actually won the game, thanks to a couple of runs in the top of the 16th. Hawk was a little more excited for that call. Just another day at the office for Harrelson and his broadcast partner, Steve Stone, who GQ once infamously dubbed the worst broadcast tandem in baseball.

Awful Announcing has learned that Mike Hill has been let go by ESPN. An official statement from ESPN says it was a "mutual decision with and by Mike and ESPN. We wish him the best in his next chapter."

The ESPN Radio show that he co-hosted with Mark Schlereth that was titled "Hill & Schlereth" will now be known as "Schlereth & Company."

Sources have informed Awful Announcing that Hill was called into ESPN offices and was told that he was being let go at the end of his contract which management had thought was in a month. However, Hill's contract was to expire in June 2014.

H/T Sammy!

A while back, I was going to write the standard "5 Teams We'd Like To See On Hard Knocks". These articles are common fair on the internet but mine would have obviously been way better and avoided an annoying slideshow format. For sharing purposes I had my top 5 as the Seahawks, Bears, Eagles, Texans, and Saints in that order with the caveat that any teams featured in the last decade were ineligible.

But now we're in June and rather than trying to will a team with compelling storylines unfolding during training camp to be featured, I'm more concerned that nothing has been announced yet. In fact, there haven't even been the usual leaks, whispers, and news coverage of the outreach and selection process.

Keys to the game can be a rather mundane exercise (especially in the hands of one Tim McCarver) - it's usually something generic about pitching well or hitting baseballs where people aren't.  Last night's Braves broadcast went in a new direction with their pitching keys that simply said "We're going streaking!" and "Commando."  Yes, you see the two go hand in... wait, why am I trying to explain this to you?

Who's operating this thing, Steve Blass?

There was word back in April that Yahoo! might have been making a play for the live NFL mobile rights that for the last three years have belonged to Verizon. But as it enters the final year of its original deal with the NFL, it looks as though the telecommunications giant is going to be hanging onto those extremely valuable rights for several years to come. 

And, more importantly for NFL fans, it looks as though the extension will come with an expansion that will allow Verizon to stream every single regular-season and playoff game, not just those airing on ESPN, NBC and NFL Network (which was the case in the last deal). 

The Red Sox destroyed the Rangers 17-5 last night in a game that devolved to the point where Rangers OF David Murphy took the mound and began striking out Red Sox.  After the game mercifully concluded after 3 hours and 10 minutes, Sox analyst Dennis Eckersley got caught with a hot mic going to break asking "we gotta recap this sh*t?!"

Such is the nature of a lenghty baseball blowout that was decided after just the 2nd inning.  Not even the team's winning analyst wants to stick around and relive the inanity.  Eck was ready to call it a night.

Nothing could go wrong when a sports talk radio show stages their own urine tests as a response to another steroid scandal in baseball, right?  Of course not!  Except for the whole "bumbling producer spills cup of urine all over the host" thing.  This happened on Boomer and Carton this morning on WFAN in New York (and simulcasted on MSG) and with Carton's anger and Esiason's laughter, it's pretty good acting if it is indeed a gag.

If that actually is a cup of pee all over Craig Carton and this was all unplanned, I'd say he's actually holding it together pretty well considering the circumstances.  As for me, I always do my own urine tests within the safety of my own home.  Just to avoid this very thing.
