| - The 2005 American League Championship Series (ALCS), the second round of the 2005 American League playoffs, matched the Central Division champion Chicago White Sox against the Western Division champion Los Angeles Angels. The White Sox, by virtue of having the best record in the AL during the 2005 season, had the home field advantage. The White Sox won the series 4 games to 1 to become the American League champions, and faced the Houston Astros in the 2005 World Series; as a result of the 2005 All-Star Game played in Detroit, Michigan at Comerica Park on July 12, the White Sox had home field advantage in the World Series. The series was notable for the outstanding pitching and durability of Chicago's starting rotation, pitching four consecutive complete games; the 2/3 of an inning Neal Cotts pitched in the first game was the only work the White Sox bullpen saw the entire series. The White Sox and Angels were victorious in the AL Division Series (ALDS), with the White Sox defeating the defending World Champion and wild card qualifier Boston Red Sox 3 games to 0, and the Angels defeating the Eastern Division champion New York Yankees 3 games to 2. Managers: Ozzie Guillen (Chicago), Mike Scioscia (Los Angeles) Umpires: Jerry Crawford, Doug Eddings, Ted Barrett, Ron Kulpa, Ed Rapuano, Randy Marsh Series MVP: Paul Konerko, Chicago Television commentators (FOX): Joe Buck, Tim McCarver, and special guest analyst Lou Piniella
