MILWAUKEE -- It's not enough for the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers to play intense games -- almost with playoff-like atmospheres -- as they did again on Monday. They also seem to rile each other up off the field as well.
New Cubs pitcher Cole Hamels added to the rivalry after the Brewers' 4-3 walk-off win -- though he wouldn't quite describe it that way.
"When you have the majority of Cubs fans in the stands, I don't know if that's a rivalry," Hamels said bluntly after the loss.
