One of the more interesting matchups is between the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs, giving the city a chance to see its two teams do battle. The Boston Red Sox go up against the Philadelphia Phillies for three games as well, pitting two teams against each other that many baseball analysts had predicted would go to the World Series this year.

Considering that margin, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson probably didn’t have much in the way of the comeback department in his conversation with Orel Hershiser and Tommy Lasorda on Tuesday night.
As an aside, seeing this picture just reminded me that next year will mark the 25th anniversary of the Dodgers’ title team. Time really isn’t messing around any more, is it?
