RIP Darryl Hamilton
He got involved with the wrong woman. She burned down her ex-husband's house in 2008, and got 240 hours of community service. Hamilton took her to court earlier this year to get partial custody of their kid, and won. People suck.

Samardzija Trade Packages
He's going somewhere in the next 39 days, and he ain't coming back to pitch for the Sox any time soon.

2015 Cubs Catch-All thread
QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) i cant speak for anyone else, sox fan or cubs fan, but I think the lives of people in the viewing area trumps any game coverage at any time. Knowing the possibility of a tornado is on its way is pretty important for a lot of people I agree it's more important, and I can't fault WGN for breaking in. On the other hand, some people just need a general awareness of the bad weather in the area, and want to continue to watch what they were watching. Considering there are alternate channels that I would think are easy access, they should have been able to switch over.

2015 Cubs Catch-All thread
QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 10:01 AM) there is a lot of butthurt Cubs fans this morning complaining that WGN dared to switch to tornado coverage last night during the game Like Sox fans would be any different. In this day and age of alternate channels, there should have been a way to switch the Cubs over to CLTV or WPWR. I get the tornado coverage was very important last night, but to have no place for the game at all for a long period, that didn't make sense either.

Samardzija Trade Packages
Saw an idea on Twitter that makes some sense....Samardzija and Duke to Toronto. I could see them wanting both. The question is what could the Sox get in return? Then dump Danks in the pen the rest of the year, or at least until they shut down Rodon. But for 2016, they need to look at Danks as sunk cost and release him after this season.

2015 TV Thread
The Ferrell/Wiig movie started off funny with some corny dialog and how it was shot. It got old quick.

Well, it's that time of year again....2015 edition
QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 07:56 AM) That 2010 team had a manager who actually motivated his team and held his players accountable when needed. When an organization tells their manager to go home three days for a graduation, that tells me exactly they feel about him. Not only is there a huge difference between previous and current manager, but that 2010 offense was waaaaayyyyy better than this crap fest. This team will go 70-92 and obtain another top 5 pick. Pretty sad since they were suppose to be competitive this year with all the money they spent. On a side note, can they just bite the bullet and release Danks? If you're going to rip on Ventura and the coaching staff, please do. They deserve it. But use reasons that actually are valid and important.

Arizona optioned Addison Reed to AAA.

6/22 at Minnesota Twins
The game is also on ESPN2 for the out-of-towners. Not sure if it's blacked out locally. The pitcher on regular ESPN may be a better viewing option.

6/22 at Minnesota Twins
Danks vs Milone Danks is terrible against the Twins in general. 7.92 ERA in 50 innings at Target Field

Well, it's that time of year again....2015 edition
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) I think even the most optimistic of us realizes the odds are stacking against the White Sox. But regression to the mean tells us the team should, at some point, start performing better. The offense cannot be this bad. Every year is different. I still hope the Sox get on a roll, and think they will at some point. I don't know if it will be enough, but stranger things have happened. They were 55-27 in 2006 after going 11-1 in the playoffs and never not being in first place the season before. They didn't make the playoffs. Some teams that are playing well now, won't continue to play well. Some that have been not so good, will get better. They really have a month left to get hot. If they don't get hot right now, then some players will get traded, and they'll simply not have enough talent the last couple months. I'm all for them going 18-10 the next 28, but the bats are just dead. We'll see what the next few weeks bring.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 10:35 AM) http://espn.go.com/mlb/standings/_/sort/wi...c/group/overall Question--is there a team right now that's 4 below .500 or worse that will ever reach .500 again, or are they just not good enough? Just for my own curiosity, I looked at the standings last year. When the 11 worst teams played a total of 770 games, it was through 6/17/14. Out of the bottom 11 teams through the same point, no team ever got over .500. Only one team made it to .500 and it was the worst team- Tampa Bay started 28-43, and went 33-18 the next 51 games to reach .500. And then immediately dropped some games and stayed under .500 the rest of the season. The Sox were 33-37, and managed to get to 54-56.

Probably premature to start the draft pick watch, but the Sox are done. I'd just bookmark this and look at it once in a while. http://espn.go.com/mlb/standings/_/sort/wi...c/group/overall Question--is there a team right now that's 4 below .500 or worse that will ever reach .500 again, or are they just not good enough?

Sox were the only AL Central team to go 2-1 this weekend. So there's that.

It's the same situation as in Detroit. Nothing to lose to ask. Umps can still review later on.

6/21 vs Texas Rangers
QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 04:37 PM) Just left, what happened on the Flowers play Wild pitch with a man on first. He got all the way to third, and Flowers was lazy on it and threw it bad too. Should have been an easy out at 3rd.

He was talking about Avi though. He probably doesn't even know who Montas is.

Just remember what Hawk has said.... In 50 years, they'll be talking about the Avi Garcia trade as one of the most important moves in Sox history. He said this. And he meant it.
