The Crosstown Classic.
The Red Line Rivalry.
The Fight For That Weird Trophy That One Team Gets When They Beat the Other Team, I Don’t Remember What It’s Called.
Sox vs. Cubs.
This is not one of those years where the city is bubbling with excitement over the Cubs heading to the South Side. The Cubs are fine, maybe a little better than expected, though not good. The Sox are terrible, and heading downward. And honestly, the rivalry seems less intense and visceral than it used to. Maybe repetition has changed things. Maybe the games being played on weekdays has lessened the fire.
