White Sox captain Paul Konerko spoke of it last season: the hangover that can affect a team staggering out of the Sox-Cubs series. ''You've seen it where one team has kind of taken off and used the momentum to do good things, and you've seen the flip side where one team has had kind of an emotional letdown that carries over,'' Konerko said then.
