The Chicago White Sox were mostly bad for the entire 2010s decade. They were only over .500 in 2012 and never saw the MLB postseason over the ten-year span. They saw themselves try to be competitive but a lot of it failed. There were points early on where they seemed to be trying hard to salvage the core from the team that won the World Series in 2005. Guys like Paul Konerko, Mark Buehrle, and A.J. Pierzynski were still with the team at the beginning of the decade but it was the beginning of the end of their careers.
