Zack Greinke is, by many measurements, the best pitcher in baseball this season. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, in town for a series against the Royals, is just one of many who’ve said that repeatedly.

Here comes the question, so here come Zack Greinke’s smile and his dimples as he starts to blush just a little bit. He was sitting behind a microphone and in front of some cameras and notebooks when someone mentioned that he received more votes than any other player in either league in the player balloting for the All-Star Game on July 14.

Alberto Callaspo got his fourth RBI in two days and Miguel Olivo hit a two-run homer to help the Kansas City Royals beat the White Sox 6-3 on Sunday for a split of their four-game series. Callaspo, who had three RBIs in a 6-4 win on Saturday, also cost KC a run with the kind of shaky defense which has led to his collecting 10 errors at second base this year. But Brian Bannister ...
