Buckle up as we discuss the the failures of the White Sox and discuss the potential damage the culture of losing will leave in upcoming seasons. Is this damage done exclusive to the distinction of records this year or is it possible this cloud of failure carries over as a potential identity? How much of it can be wiped away in the start of a new campaign? We also debate whether Francisco Lindor has a legit shot at winning the NL MVP and can we make the case?
