Steve Stone Is a Soothsayer

With White Sox TV analyst Hawk Harrelson's right hand man, Darrin Jackson, out for a few games to tend to the birth of a child, Steve Stone has filled the void.

For now, I'll avoid getting into the debate about who is far superior (See: Stone, Steve) and just alert you to the fact that Stone called Juan Uribe's walkoff homer in the bottom of the 13th last night against the Tribe. Via Sox Machine:

During Scott Podsednik's at-bat, here was the banter between Stone and Hawk Harrelson:

Stone: Well, I think you got the guy who's going to end this game in the on-deck circle... what a tough night defensively for Uribe, but he can certainly make up for it.
Hawk: Is that your story?
Stone: Yup, I think that's what's going to happen.
Hawk: And he's sticking to it.

And as Uribe went ¡profundo!:

Hawk: And that ball hit hard! Way back! Sizemore looks up! You can put it on the boaaaaaaaaaaard, YES, STONE PONY!
Stone: [after a beat] Thank you. First time to go, Hawk, that's just the way it is.

Ah Stoney, as even-keeled and confident as ever. Get this man a beverage, I say.
