KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Alex Rios was thrown out at the plate, Alexei Ramirez was picked off third base and the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox again failed to come up with a clutch hit in a 4-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night. Eric Hosmer singled home the winning run with two outs in the ninth inning. The White Sox stayed two games ahead of Detroit, which lost in the afternoon to Oakland, with 13 games remaining. The Royals beat the Chicago for the ninth time in their last 11 meetings.

AL Comeback Player of the Year Race: Adam Dunn vs. Alex Rios

Via Midwest Sports Fans  |  September 20, 2012
Going into this season, I often said the Sox’ success would hinge on how Jake Peavy, Alex Rios, and Adam Dunn perform, labeling them “the comeback kids” after they’d recently struggled with terrible performance and/or serious injuries. Adam Dunn (Photo by Keith Allison via CC BY-SA 2.0) About six months later and here we are – the White Sox are in first place in the...

Addison Reed: Shutdown Numbers, Meltdown Stuff

Via Fangraphs  |  September 20, 2012
In 2011, White Sox reliever Addison Reed faced 293 minor league hitters and struck out 111 while walking only 14 of them. It was a good year for Reed. He went from A-Ball, to High-A, to Double-A, to Triple-A in 3 months and 15 days. In 2012, Reed has faced 229 major league hitters and struck out 52 while walking 18. He has also allowed two more home runs than in his time in the minors...

Braves' Guillen not worried if he's on hotseat

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 22, 2012
The Marlins went into Friday 18 games under .500 but manager Ozzie Guillen didn't sound like a man worried about losing his job. "Can I say something about those (rumors)? Ha, ha, ha," Guillen said. "I laugh at that (expletive). I don't worry about what people say about that. I don't." Guillen said owner Jeffrey Loria has not spoken to him about...

Tigers Playoff Odds Take A Big Jump

Via Tigers Den Blog  |  September 20, 2012
Detroit’s win coupled with Chicago’s loss on Wednesday night meant a sizeable uptick in the Tigers’ chances to earn a spot in the postseason festivities. Two games back with 14 games to play is still a large gap, but it’s one that isn’t impossible to bridge. We could all feel that the goal of a Division Crown was more attainable after last night, but Cool Standings and...

Mendoza helps Royals beat Indians

Via Fox Sports Kansas City  |  September 21, 2012
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Luis Mendoza pitched six effective innings and the Kansas City Royals beat the struggling Cleveland Indians 6-3 on Friday night. Mike Moustakas and Brayan Pena each drove in two runs for the Royals, who have won three straight and four of six.

Bring Back Lastings Milledge?

Via Mets Merized Online  |  September 21, 2012
It is perhaps a sad commentary on the current state of the Mets and their almost non-existent production from the outfield, but I want to assure you that this post is NOT written tongue-in-cheek. I’m sure most Mets fans remember when Milledge was the highly-touted first-round Mets’ draft pick who made a big splash in the major leagues after an impressive climb through the minors...

Series Preview: Indians at Royals 9/21-23

Via Burning River Baseball  |  September 20, 2012
Just like the series against the Twins, this upcoming series will be almost completely meaningless. While the Indians do have some player evaluations to do for next year, there is little to be learned in series against teams in the same situation as the Indians. Both the Twins and Royals are also evaluating young talent, making these games more like the AAA games that most of these...

The Kansas City Royals will not win the American League Central this year. They won't even come close. However, Kansas City will have a major say on whether the Detroit Tigers or Chicago White Sox win the division. The Royals wrap up a three-game series Wednesday against the White Sox.
