Royal Pounding
The Chicago White Sox took no prisoners in their three game series with Kansas City. After shutouts in the first two games, the White Sox added insult to injury with four straight home runs in the sixth inning today, the sixth time a team accomplished the feat. Joel Peralta gave up the first three, and Robinson Tejada came on for the fourth. So much for using pitchers named after shortstops. :-)
At least the Royals scored today as they lose 9-2. For the series, the White Sox out-score Kansas City 22-2.

I can't figure out why KC's starting Aviles in the leadoff slot. He was a good slugger and hot RBI man in AAA, and was continuing that trend in the majors....until they slipped him into the leadoff hitting. What's up with that?
Chicago media keep trumpeting this as "a new team record." C'mon, this is a major league record -- rarer than a perfect game. Get with the program.
Aviles batted second - what was KC in interleague? Like 15-3?
Carlos Quentin got hit by pitch yet again. That's six games in a row for him--something that hasn't happened in baseball since 1920!
Actually, it as probably never happened before, but HBP records are sketchy prior to 1920.
