In its infinite wisdom, Major League Baseball has decreed that beginning this year, the “rivalry” series between in-city or in-state (or manufactured) rivals shall be six games, two three-game series, instead of the previous pair of two-game series.
Even four is too many for me; I’d be fine with the Cubs/White Sox competition being a three-game series once a year, rotated between ballparks, as it was for the first few years of interleague play.
