After 158 games, the Chicago White Sox have finally reached their final series of the 2014 season, which will be four games against the Kansas City Royals at US Cellular Field Thursday-Sunday.

This is a happy and sad time to be a White Sox fan, because it means the overall losing season in the standings (72-86) will be over and done with. But it also means the career of one of the greatest players to ever wear a White Sox uniform – Paul Konerko – has just four days left as a player on the team.

It also means the spectacular rookie season of Jose Abreu is finished, and the excellent season of left-handed pitcher Chris Sale is already finished as he made his final start on Wednesday.

Sure, there was some good with a lot of bad, but the ’14 season was more enjoyable to watch than the previous season, and ’15 will be even better … hopefully.

The White Sox have some decisions to make, and moves to be made, but for these final four days let’s enjoy what good there was to this season, and once the final out comes on Sunday afternoon, we say “Thank You” to Paulie, and then start figuring out what all of us would like to see happen this offseason.

Thoughts?
