The baseball season has returned, bringing mixed feelings for Chicago fans. The Cubs are under pressure to perform after years of mediocrity, needing a playoff appearance to validate management's decisions. In contrast, the White Sox are coming off a historically poor season striving to simply avoid further humiliation. With significant expectations on the Cubs' leadership, and a much lower bar for the Sox, both teams provoke differing hopes and challenges for fans in the city.
One personnel boss, the Cubs' Jed Hoyer, needs a playoff team for the first time in five years on his watch or else he'll likely be kicked to the curb.
The bad news with the Sox is they're coming off a season in which they danced with a record 120 losses and finally dipped it and kissed it on the mouth.
