A few short days after clinching their first AL Central title since 2000, the 2005 White Sox began their postseason journey. The first task, however, would not be easy, as the White Sox welcomed the defending World Series champs to the South Side. The Red Sox had just made history in 2004, becoming the first team to ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in a baseball playoff series, and they rode the momentum of the improbable ALCS comeback to the World Series win. The Red Sox looked to carry over the playoff magic for another year, while the White Sox were looking to prove they belonged with the big dogs.
