 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - While the Chicago White Sox were winning the 2005 World Series and proving themselves the best team in baseball, the Kansas City Royals were losing 106 games and proving themselves the worst.
Now, just about a season and a half later, the long-woeful Royals actually have more victories (34) than the White Sox (33). Getting key hits from a bevy of rookies and strong pitching from Brian Bannister and Zack Greinke, the Royals beat Chicago 8-1 Friday night for their first five-game winning streak in two years.
A victory on Saturday would actually nudge them past the White Sox and let them escape last place in the AL Central, something they haven't done this late since 2003.
