Chicago Cubs fans have heard for years about the Southsiders’ rebuild. This season we’re getting a taste of that rebuild, and it is clear…they’re here.
The last time the White Sox made the playoffs was 2008, and Lou Piniella managed the Cubs, and current baseball announcers Ryan Dempster and Sean Marshall were playing for the Northsiders. The Tribune Company owned them, and Jim Hendry was the General Manager.
A dozen seasons ago, both teams made the postseason, and both went out in the first round; they lost to the Dodgers, the Sox to Tampa Bay.
