"That was nice while it lasted.

Adam Dunn had White Sox fans on his side for two at-bats despite a strikeout and a fly out in a 5-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.

By the time his 0-for-5 night was over (three strikeouts), the boo-birds were in full voice.

"Well, that's my fault,'' Dunn said. "I'll get 'em back.''

"Yes, I feel good. I just went back and looked [at video]. The first strikeout was a good pitch, a tough one for me to hit. I felt fine, feel good. I'm going to have bad games.''

During a 5-4 victory Monday against the Royals, he won the fans over when he raised his helmet in response to a semi-sarcastic ovation after a single. In the eighth, Dunn hit a towering home run to give the Sox a 4-3 lead. The crowd asked for a curtain call and got it."
