One of the AL's eight charter franchises, the White Sox dominated play during the early 20th century, winning 5 of the first 19 league pennants; but the team's fortunes dropped precipitously after it became involved in what is debatably the greatest scandal in the history of the sport.
The Chicago Cubs are the crosstown rivals of the White Sox, although the nature of the rivalry is unique; with the exception of the 1906 World Series, in which the White Sox upset the heavily favored Cubs, the teams never met in an official game until 1997, when interleague play was introduced.
On the south side, in contrast, White Sox management's threats to move the team to Tampa Bay in the late 1980s, banishment of fan favorite Andy the Clown from the ballpark, and significant role in the 1994 strike, all further demoralized the fan base.

Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf tells Melissa Isaacson of the Tribune that the letters that fans are sending him are still positive, with continuing thanks for the Sox winning the 2005 World Series.
The best thing for the Sox, however, is for all three teams to be bunched up together, and the Twins taking three out of four while the Sox do that, at minimum, against the Indians, would certainly accomplish that.
The Sox, I hope, aren’t taking anyone lightly, especially an Indians team that has won seven of the 12 meetings between the teams this season and is playing very well of late.

It would have been nice to have all 12 games in the White Sox' run (or at least the 11 victories), since the two clinching playoff games were on the road, but I assume the DVD producers don't think the market justifies such a set given that the World Series had a low viewer rating.

 Cook: White Sox getting trendy? No way! - Baseball - MSNBC.com
Chicago White Sox fans have a well-known and well-worn chip on their shoulder because their team always seems to be second in attention to the Cubs in the Second City.
White Sox fans deep in celebrating their American League championship probably don’t realize this yet, but the Sox’s success is threatening to make their favorite team something it’s never been — trendy.
To understand why trendy would be a problem for Sox fans, you have to understand that when it comes to Chicago baseball, trendy has always been associated with that National League team on the North Side of town, the one Sox fans call the (fill in obscene adjective here) Cubs.

But the White Sox general manager also was adamant in not being overly reactionary with a roster that basically was one year removed from winning a World Series title.
You've got to remember there are 29 other teams looking for the same thing, and you've got to match up with those teams and you've got to evaluate what you have in how it relates to your young players and factor that into the equation.
