Crosstown Classic: It's Like The Playoffs, Only With Less Talented Teams


Today is the calm before the storm as the Cubs and White Sox prepare to start a three-game series at Wrigley tomorrow night. For some strange reason it's not a weekend series. I can't believe that MLB would ever schedule their precious Yankees-Mets rivalry on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but somehow this series gets the shaft. The schedule is surprising considering how many ways this series is like a Cubs playoff series:

- There is a buzz in the ballpark that only the playoffs can rival.

- Tickets are hard to come by.

- Ted Lilly won't get a chance to start a game in this series either.

- Much like the playoffs, this series will only last three games.
