Probably a little of both but the Royals actually have a FAR WORSE team than the Sox. That, folks, is an embarrassment to the game type of team. I know Salvy is a legend in KC but my gosh u'd think he'd beg to get out of there. That said, thanks Sox for finally sweeping this gosh awful KCR team.

Very bad idea. Agreed. Sadly will have to platoon Burger in the DH/1B rotation cause our 3B is above average fielder and hitter in Moncada. Eloy is untradeable right now cause he's a walking injury so Eloy stays in outfield. Burger the 1B/DH thing.

The Sox problem of "everybody's a DH" continues. I don't think Burger is an outfielder. Geez. Wake up Sox.

Not true obviously. When you lose 10 in a row in April, something's wrong and we have no reasonable 'evidence' to think this club will ever win 7-10 in a row and get bak to .500. Sox fans are smart. At least the home crowds have stayed supportive and reasonable loud from what i see on mlb.tv game action.

I agree. That's why I was against the tank/rebuild. No guarantees at all in the MLB Draft. Losing to get a top draft pick is not a smart strategy when u have the draft history of the Chicago White Sox. Burger however is tasty.

Have you noticed this board has changed to where almost every post seems reasonable to sound to correct? Lot of good Sox takes on here most of them either correct IMO or close to correct. Whatever scout told the Sox to take Burger should get a raise. He definitely can hit. I know he's far from a complete player but he can hit and stands out on a team like this with a lot of horrid hitters. The Royals appear even worse team than the Sox by far. Nice win. If the pitching is this good I'll eat my words gladly about the bullpen. Still not a believer but the division is so bad mabe Sox can have one winning streak to negate that terrible losing streak while avoiding another 5 to 10 game losing streak. Another stretch like that and it's back to talking about one of the worst Sox teams in history. In summation: Not a believer, but nice win today.

I think we should support TA instead of tear into him a lot. Just my opinion. According to some reports he's playing hurt which we want Sox to do oft times rather than go on the DL regularly. Maybe he's headed back to the DL soon. I think we all know Anderson is a good baseball player. Personally I see no reason to bash him. There are plenty of villains. I don't think he's one of them. Just my opinion. I'm not a huge TA fan. I just recognize he's not the problem IMO. Why not try something diff and support him a few more months.

Nice. Thanx for the stat. Sox are trending upward a little bit in a few different areas. Woulda been nice to not let the season get out of hand so early tho.

Glad the bullpen didn't blow it. Sox will take the solid victory in just 2:06. Nice win.

Nicky played high school ball in Naperville.

Greinke may be the worst starter in baseball or one of 'em. Tonight has to be an automatic W. Don't care about jinxes. This team isn't good nuff to worry about jinx statements. Just beat this pathetic Royals team or will Massey and Lopez single handedly beat Chicago cause they have a few family and friends in the stands? This sad excuse for a team needs to dust off the pathetic Royals like everybody else does. Final: Sox 9, KC 2. On to game two. Right?

Those first two wins of the series (with homers) were making me think Sox were gonna go on a binge at least at home. They were awful today; as dull a game as they've had all season.

Goodness. Sox are such a collection of badness.

Good scouting. Hit it right at that SS. Puke 1 out

I love me some Burger but guys who never take a pitch are a.) rare in baseball and b.) mathematically will have lousy batting averages. That's for the few people who still care about batting averages tho.

Burger likes to swing; rarely takes a pitch.

Three of the Sox players I hate the least are up right now.

Nice day to relax at a ballgame cept for the prices of course and the fact the Sox have done zip so far today.

No bats. Sox don't believe in sweeping series the past several seasons, actually prolly dating back to my man, Oz's Sunday lineups when we actually had a good team.

Might as well keep the bats sizzling. Nice win again. This is better than finding a way to lose every night. Burger mania.

Amazing how Sox are finally flexing up and hitting the long ball at home. When's' the last time we beat Cleveland 2 in a row (not counting some dumbo games at the end of September). Games that sort of counted.

Robert and Burger are the only 2 on the team I'd pay to watch hit.

I'm not an unreasonable fan ... kudos to Sox when they win. Once again when Sox play 'modern baseball' they do better. HRs. Nice bombs tonight. Robert turning into a star before our eyes; same with Burger. And the guy i've hated on, joe kelly, is dealing. And apparently Lynn is better than a DFA candidate. So nice win. If you are going to have as bad a record as the Sox, at least try to stay 'in it' by dominating division foes. Verdict out on that; Sox still can't play on the same field as the Royals.

Robert is pretty good. The games I watch he chases a lot. Pity me. He's a pretty good player.

Let's all be reasonable here. We can dislike Timmy at times but he didn't say he hates it here. He hates the pitch clock (which fans love). He still is one of our few multi-hit guys. Has a lotta multi hit games. He's not the best defender but improves there every year and has a good bat. But on this issue? Cmon. He's not evil.
