The White Sox weren't always good in the first half, but they allowed their fans to experience the full gamut of emotions over the first 88 games of the season.
There was ...
• Giddiness over a 23-10 start.
• Fury over a 10-26 stretch that dropped them to three games under .500.
• A little surprise at the team's quickness to part with underperforming veterans John Danks, Mat Latos and Jimmy Rollins.
• Bewilderment over new acquisition James Shields' start with the team.
• And then even some cautious hope as the Sox rebounded to 45-43 entering the All-Star break.
