Royals' Zack Greinke blanks White Sox 3-0

The White Sox were shut out for the fourth time this season Monday night, and this loss had an exclamation mark.

KC is the team to beat in the AL Central this year. You could see they were coming on like gangbusters toward the end of last season and now they've put it all together. If the Sox cannot manufacture runs and hold the opposition with their own pitching and defense, they're not going to beat dominating pitchers like Greinke. Praying for an error, a walk and a big fly are not going to get the job done.

While you are busy writing a juvenile reply to someone else, I have a question? Is English your first language?

So you all thought the old Dragon had got religion, well, hardly. As a student and admirer of Robert Green Ingersoll I don't think that that will ever happen even at my advance age.
As far as praying for the Sox goes. Well like they told us when I was a student officer down at The Infantry School at Ft. Benning, GA --
"The time to pray is when you run out of ammunition."
Since it is still early I don't think the Sox have reached that point just yet, so let's wait and see what happens tonight.
And anyway --
"I never found a prayer yet that would fix anything, have you?"

I was sure the Koreans founds you, bound you to a chair with duct tape and forced you to write that religious drivel with a gun pointed to your head. Thank God Lou awoke from his day-long slumber to pelt the intruders with his empty gin bottles or else you might have had unsuspecting readers drinking Kool-Aid from paper cups.

Greinke is the best pitcher in MLB right now .Problem with Sox they make allot of pitchers look like Cy Young. Failure to execute with men on. Failure to move runners over. I blame allot of Sox problems on Walker. Its the same old problem for Sox. If they don't hit home runs they usually lose. So often Sox will have men at first & second no outs only to hit into a DP to kill a rally.It seems Walker has no clues on how to teach basic fundamental hitting. Naturally some of blame goes to Sox hitters too but with a hitting coach that does not coach they continue to make same mistakes. On pitching Colon hasn't pitch all the bad , Contreras days are over.

Hey Zack,

Whats up with the high heat chin music?

Were gonna remember that next time at the cell.
Hope nobody runs out on the field and beats you down!

Greinke should send every Sox player a nice gift at the end of the year,they are making him tons of money.Santana made millions because of the Sox,did he do anything nice for them besides getting traded out of the AL.The farewell tour has started early for some of the Sox.Thome can't even hit a down the middle look at me fastball anymore,that is a joke.

[So IL Bruno]

Same story as last year....Sox start slow with the offense. but if the JD injury is worse or nagging, then they are in trouble.

Thome, Contreras, Colon, Pods....ALL DONE KW. Bring up Beckham and lets get this youth movement going.

this team is going nowhere this year anyways....play ALL the kids.

And I guess they can't bunt either?

[Cadillac]

Scotty should have bunted.

Whats up with that guy he seems 'washed up' for such a young man

He needs his old number back and he'll be ok

[Ben]

Who is this Greinke guy? What was his stats last year, man he is really dominant to say the least. Having said that, no way the Royals are gona win this Division.

[Florida Jim]

When the ball is between your shoulders and your knees you swing level and through the pitch. When the ball is outside the strike zone do not swing.Please pass this along to Greg Walker.

Kudos to Greinke !!!

[liquid]

the only complaint i have is that scotty didn't lay down a bunt in the 8th. I mean, he already got 2 hits off the guy, you really expect him to get a third? and he can bunt, and he's fast. so you make them make a play on a nice bunt, while advancing the runners and taking away the double play ball. this is not hard.(that's what she said)

He also butchered two balls in the outfield.

Wasn't that funny, I never had so much fun in my life making those posts. I laughed till I cried, especially when some of you guys took them seriously, and others didn't know what to think,--
A reborn Christian preaching on a baseball forum. Oh my God I am still laughing.
There was a side effect -- Lou was watching me and took them seriously too, and now he has accepted Jesus Christ as his personal saviour, and has sworn to quit drinking.
I said to him, "Lou, it's ok, you are in good company with the other orangutans who have done the same thing." Then I handed him back his bag of pot.

For all things Holy, Lou needs to keep drinking. So should you.

That's the most fun you've ever had? Just when everyone thought you could not possibly be a more pathetic human being, you went and found a new low.
Congrats.
How sad.
