But to say nothing when a visitor does something is a shame for broadcasting.

Dick (and Bert) are obviously Twins employees and it is easy to tell that on a broadcast. It's fine for it to be that way with any home team announcing crew. They are, however, baseball fans first. They show great appreciation for good play by anyone, and I appreciate that.
Maybe Hawk the Twins/Sox rivalry makes Hawk more disparaging about the Twins (my experience in listening to him is mostly limited to Twins games), but I don't hear him willingly saying complimentary things about opponents. He doesn't seem to appreciate the game the way most other announcers do. If he does, his acerbic style hides it well.

Then you really must not be listening very much to him. Hawk consistently calls Gardenhire one of the top 2-3 managers in baseball, compliments the Twins on their abilty to stay at the top of the division every year and absloutely is in love with Mauer & Morneau. And I really don't get your last line. People don't like him because he's to over the top. That he talks too much about his 50 years in baseball and his history with the game. To say he doesn't appreciate the game, never heard that before.
That he appreciates the White Sox game, I have no doubt. I can even appreciate that. It has always seemed to me that, whenever I hear him (and I admittedly avoid it if possible), he is saying something derogatory about the other team. I'm glad you have heard the compliments.
If you think he's OVER the Top, you should move down to the dugout and see what Ozzie's got to say ....... 
Torii Hunter went crazy after striking out! Face bumped the ump, threw a bag of balls on the field. It was hilarious!

Sox & Twins both lose. Twins to walk off HR, Sox in 10 on a base hit. Thome robbed of a HR in top of 9th, but the 2 runs still scored to tie it.
yeah the Twins game was weird. That was a home run...it disappeared behind the yellow (home run) line then bounces back
And is there a rule that if you come out of the dugout after a replay you're gone? Gardy came out to argue and they never threw him out but he left the dugout.

Reagan National...flight was scheduled to leave at 5pm, but it didn't go out until almost 11pm thanks to a thunderstorm.
Tiger fans feel all beat-up after taking our lumps the past few weeks - I know that I do.Boesch's bat finally woke up. Just hit one out. Still down 4-1 though.
Hey, I'll be Motown for Labor Day weekend...anyone going to the game on September 6th against the White Sox?
Damn, I would have been pissed having to wait that long....
Were you able to leave the airport and do anything in the meantime ?
I predict the Tigers win 1 game a week the rest of the way ......
Maybe two if they are REAL lucky ... unless Ordonez gets back quicker than thought and comes back smokin.
That would be only 9 more wins, could THAT be possible ?
That would give them only 62 Wins, I'm thinking thats a bit low, but not by much.
They will be lucky to win 70.

Here's a REAL problem with the Tigers.
Angels have man on 2nd with 2 outs and the pitcher is told to "Pitch Around " the next guy ..... it's the 1st inning
Now he Un intentionally walks a guy and the bases are LOADED.
