Ryan Hartman Hawks got a hometown kid at 30. Good value pick and loves to mix it up. I had seen him drafted in the late teens in a few mock drafts. The Blackhawks selected Ryan Hartman with the last pick of the first round of the 2013 NHL entry draft. Hartman made a name for himself in his first season removed from the United States National Team Development Program playing for the Plymouth Whalers of the OHL. He’s known for his gritty, agitating style of play, as he finished with 120 PIMs in 56 games. However, he is deceptively effective offensively as his 60 points for Plymouth this past season will attest. He's also a gifted skater. While Hartman may take poor minor penalties at times, he’s one of the best in the draft at rattling his opponent. Moreover, he’s very versatile and can fit in on lines with different types of players. He sustained a severe cut on his wrist early in the OHL playoffs, but returned later in Plymouth’s post-season run. The prevailing thought is that the injury won’t be an issue going forward.

Tallon not taking Jones suprises me, guess they wanted scoring more.

Anyone else watch House of Cards on Netflix? I thought it was pretty good.

Crain seems first to go.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 30, 2013 -> 04:07 AM) I been here 10 years. I have to admit, I'm addicted to Soxtalk. I hate this board so much at times but I can't stop from logging in. 2003-2006 was the goldenage of Soxtalk. Everybody was cool, witty, funny, etc( I'm calling out Kalapse, qwerty and Felix for not bringing their knowledge to PHT). Gamethreads were so much better back in he day. Now gamethreads consists of Caulfields long-winded rants and soxfest one-liners. Terrible. This board site is in decline and soxtalk bosses must do something. This is soxtalk. Not Hawkstalk. This board should be about the White Sox 95% and like 5% everything else. Filibuster is a joke (lol@Jenks and strange, get a f***ing you boring dickheads). I'm insulted. The best thread on this board is the nba thread because of me. I want 2005 Soxtalk back. Mods, make it happen. Coming from a guy calling people bots. You got a high opinion of yourself NBA thread is good because of you what nonsense. You do not like the board f***ing leave. What the hell have you contributed to just one single game thread any different than anyone else.......NOTHING. Keep my name out of your cryfest, you have a ignore button use it instead of whining in a 4 AM rant.

How many lost weekends at home have the Sox had already...............way too many.

What a bad day to be a Sox fan.

Good score 10.............bad give up 19.........White Sox baseball 101

QUOTE (mike89128 @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 06:26 PM) Anyone remember the lawsuit WSNS-44 brought against Reinsdorf for fielding an inferior product? He had to reconfigure the TV contract.May need a class action suit against him to get some changes in the front office. Every fan there needs money refunded and an apology from Hahn or JR. This product on the field is just a disaster.

Anyone still having hope for the 2013? The Sox set new lows daily.

Ouch to the Cleveland pen and Sox pen tonight.

Pure salary dump deal and nothing more.

Wow suprises early.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 06:35 PM) That idiot Bernstein was talking about this on the radio a little earlier. He was acting like it was stupid not to trade Sale because "he won't be pitching for a White Sox World Series team anytime soon and the pieces you'd get might be on the next winner." Sale is 24 years old and signed through freaking 2019 to a team-friendly deal? How the f*** does this guy get paid to analyze sports? Anything that dumbass says I would do the complete opposite, you would be right 100% of the time.

I would love to see the Sox dump Danks contract.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 04:59 PM) @AdamSchefter Boston PD has located red SUV with RI plates it was looking for as identified in July 2012 homicide. Aaron Hernandez rented it. Game...........set..........match

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 11:08 AM) The final 2 minutes of Game 6 - with WGN local audio. That will never get old EVER!

Another in the long line of sleepwalking shutout games to a ham and eggar.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 26, 2013 -> 09:05 PM) Getting shut out by an 0-9 pitcher would be quite fitting for this offense. This has been happening over 7 years now. Sox a great cure all for s*** pitchers.

QUOTE (mike89128 @ Jun 26, 2013 -> 08:41 PM) Alexi is reverting to his Pre-Omar Visquel days. Omar had a positive influence on Alexi when he was with the Sox and Alexi's defense really improved. He has been so bad and smirks after every error.

Ex-Patriot Aaron Hernandez has been charged with murder in the death of Odin Lloyd, and is facing five additional gun charges. Per Rotoworld

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 26, 2013 -> 11:31 AM) No, especially teams that struggle against LHP. Because his .286/.385/.518/.902 splits this year (in about 65 PAs) and his career .298/.376/.538/.914 splits (in about 2300 PAs) don't indicate in the least that he can hit left handed pitching. Seriously, this spouting off non-sensical one-liners without taking things into consideration gets old. Konerko is plenty valuable as a player, he's just really not a viable full-time player anymore. That is my opinion. I do not really care, If you agree or not. PK over the last year has been terrible. You and I disagree a mile on his current value.
