A very young and promising team just simply was not quite ready for the bigger stage. Great building season and very valuable experience gained with this late season and playoff run. Lots to build on.(Formerly asindc.)
"I have the ultimate respect for White Sox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Red Sox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country." Jim Caple, ESPN (January 12, 2011)

Fourth inning was the killer. 2-run homer and 2 bases-loaded walks.
Murphy's walk in the fifth didn't help either. Gave them 2 runs that inning.
3-for-14 with RISP. We had our chances to come back or extend the lead and left bases loaded too many times.
Fun season, but we were horrid down the stretch. Renteria can turn a bad team into a good one, but he can't turn a good one into a great one.I want my $2

Lots of blame to go around. Questions about the lineup in game 2 are valid, as are usage and pitching management. However, Ricky can't make his guys throw strikes, nor can he make them not swing at garbage in clutch situations (or not swing at pipeline fastballs). Management didn't help, but the player wilted.

Foster, Heuer, Dunning, Madrigal, Robert, Eloy, Crochet (please be okay) are all bright spots to build on. Next year won't be as rushed or as unexpected. Hopefully the team can build on this and make the playoffs again.
From being a team set back by injuries to stomp their way into the playoffs the first year of the window is a good thing.

Didn't expect this to hurt quite as bad. Yes it could be the start of the window but with one more win we were going to the ALDS to play an extremely beatable opponent. If that's not having things line up for you then I'm not sure what is. This was the best matchup they could have asked for but now we just have to pray we live up to the expectations the next few years and that our players can stay healthy! They have not proven this.
