Thursday night, an obviously fluky and flimsy redeeming quality about the last few years of White Sox baseball fell to pieces. Hard-working but consistently outgunned fifth starter John Danks stopped dominating the AL Central champion Royals, and got the shelling that's probably been waiting for him for years. Bad defense and walks can turn into a six-run disaster quickly, but 11 hits in five innings means you were just getting resolutely hammered.
