With the regular season over, many teams are facing an offseason filled with golf rounds and hot-stove strategy.
But we're not going to let them get off that easy. No sir. No way. In an attempt to bring some closure between franchise and follower, we're giving a blogger from each team the opportunity to g ive a�concession speech for this year's squad. Up next is our friend Ricky O'Donnell from SB Nation Chicago .
Dear South Siders,
It is with no great pride we gather here to concede the season and to lay the campaign hopes of the 2012 Chicago White Sox to rest while congratulating the Detroit Tigers for winning this marathon race to claim the AL Central. Few thought we'd last as long as we did pitted against the these Tigers, a team powered by top-heavy talent worthy of all the adulation the sport can offer. The Tigers are the squad with name-in-lights headliners capable of accomplishing some amazing things: a Triple Crown, an MVP, a Cy Young.
The White Sox? They'd never claim to boast such transcendent talent. This team was as transparent as it gets, with strengths and flaws plainly laid out for the world to see. This was, essentially, the 16-inch softball team you'd see in Evergreen Park:vThe Sox were (mostly) old and (mostly) slow, and they would regularly tear the cover off the ball. To think: The Sox actually hit 48 more homers than the Tigers is completely bewildering, at least when you consider the two monsters permanently attached to the middle of Detroit's order. This season was a lot of fun for a long time. Then it all came crashing down. In the end, the South Siders were bested by a superior team.Jennifer Lopez
