Guys think about it. Yes we should retool some, no matter what happens. BUT, dont do a complete overhaul. THere isnt s*** in this division. We can win next season.

There would have to be some serious retooling. Konerko, Thomas, Lee or Maggs - one of them, at least - would have to go. We are way too right handed oriented in our line up. A good right handed pitcher gives us fits, and that is what we will see in the playoffs, if we get that far. We need better defense in CF than we get from Everett, or more offense than we got from Rowand early. I believe we can place Rowand out there next year and be just fine. If we keep Robbie, then 2b is ok. Jose has had a very good year defensively, but I think his usefullness has about come to an end.

 

Basically, I'm saying a LH RBI producing bat, and better up the middle defense. Then we'd have to address the bullpen. That has been an area of major disappointment.

Let's see in my lifetime we managed to swoon and miss the playoffs, hell that's easy

Swept in playoffs -- boring, been there done that

Losing game 7 in the ALCS would be new and the next logical step

 

Let's go for it!

Definitely losing game seven of the WS. That would suck. Especially if you lost it giving up the lead walkoff style, sorta like the Yankees in 2001. Or losing game 6 in horrible fashion and then losing game 7, ala Giants 2002. They lost a big lead in game 6 and never recovered. That would definitely suck...

Not as much as not making the playoffs..
