The Chicago White Sox have been eliminated by the Oakland Athletics. It was a three-game series and went the distance but the White Sox weren’t able to hold off the American League West champions. There is little doubt that this is just the beginning for the White Sox but it still hurts at the moment. They had an opportunity to do something special in their first year of relevancy but they came up just short. They will be back but it certainly stings at the moment.
When you look back at a lot of the teams that have built things the way the White Sox have, most have gone through what the White Sox have gone through this year.
