President George W. Bush gets to meet all
the best athletes. When Eli or Peyton Manning win

it is not enough to bring in a win
against the Royals in one of John Danks's weakest outings of the year.
In a season where the White Sox starting
pitching carried the team through the first few months,
it feels like the wheels are starting to come off. I am not saying that it is time to panic (after all the club still ranks second in the league in ERA ...

Danks' improvement this season , using various stats and
