****Official Royals Vs. White Sox Gamethread 4/9****

[cosmo20002]

It's only Game 3 of 162.
But a sweep today is going to give me, this board, and this town a very massive boner.

It would be a huge kick in the White Sox balls to be 3 games back in the standings already...possibly to both the Royals and Tigers. Obviously there's a TON of baseball to be played, but they finished 17 games behind Detroit and 16 games behind us last year, so they already face an uphill battle.

If they start 0-3, they would have to play .567 ball the rest of the way to win 90 games (which is what Detroit won last season). Only 4 teams in baseball played .567 ball or better last year.

I'm worried.

If the White Sox get off to too bad a start after making all these offseason moves, they might finally can that dunce they've got setting their lineups.
