CHICAGO — The City Series that begins Tuesday night at Wrigley Field matches the gloomy Chicago spring we’ve endured, with anticipation low on both sides of town.
While sub-.500 teams and miserable weather have seldom dampened the atmosphere of the crosstown rivalry between the Cubs and White Sox, it’s hard to get excited for this one — especially with another soggy forecast on tap for the two-game series.
The series was reduced from six games to four this season, a welcome relief to many. As much as the “Crosstown” usually lives up to the hype, it’s somewhat exhausting for the players, managers, reporters and even some fans.
