By Nick Szafranski I can’t explain the feeling I have after this Chicago White Sox collapse. The feeling is not one of depression, or one of overwhelming disappointment.

I’m not talking about the “Killer B’s” (Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Derek Bell, and Lance Berkman), who are about as far removed from Houston these days as Albert Pujols’ homerun against Brad Lidge in the 2005 NLCS.
