White Sox @ Royals

[Mingo]

The early season long search for the White Sox to play a team with a worse record ends today when the 12 win White Sox take on the 9 win Royals. Also known as - Grifol's revenge.

All this just when you think Eloy Jimenez as exhausted his list of ways to be too injured to play when he comes down with an emergency appendectomy.

The Eloy news made me shake my head and laugh. What else can you do, at this point? He was just starting to get hot. So, of course, that happens.

Outside of the extra inning loss to Minnesota, which made me want to gouge my eyes out, I'm actually starting to open up the door to giving this team another shot. They're only 7 out in a bad division. If they can take 3 of 4 here and get a bit healthier. I could see us looking up a month from now and being squarely in the central mix and pushing back towards .500.

Our schedule over the next month is not bad and we play mostly at home. A lot of divison games lined up to make up some ground, too.

Tonight, Cease has to come out hot against a poor KC lineup, though. We aren't going anywhere if he can't figure this out. Hopefully we can keep yesterday's onslaught up against Greinke, who has been struggling pretty bad. No excuse for dropping this game, tonight.

The fact I am willing to show optimism, though, only means that tonight will be sheer and utter misery. I will read this post later tonight and laugh/mock myself while cursing the White Sox, Cease, etc.

Cease is not maintaining the standard. Tis a shame.

 

[idseer]

fucking losers.

Our ace starting pitcher isn’t even outperforming 39 year old Zach Greinke…and I’m not just talking about last night…for the season.

Not even the small victories to cling to this season boys…

Sox got the rain delayed win last nigh. Nice outing by Giolito and the bullpen. Now let's take the series for three in a row.

lynn is through. the staff is a shambles.

One more chance to win the series with the Royals today. Amazing how many home runs are flying out of Kaufman stadium.

I claim to be a White Sox fan - not a mathematician.

There is no gravity - the White Sox suck.
