Freeway Series on the horizon? Don't tell the Cubs' fans!

Out here, surrounded by fans of the CUBS and the BREWERS (with a couple WHITE SOX supporters sprinkled here and there), it's easy to forget there are a few other teams contesting this year's MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYOFFS.
I just read
Bill Plaschke's column in today's LOS ANGELES TIMES.
Down in the SOUTHLAND, fans are dreaming of a possible FREEWAY WORLD SERIES.

"For the 48 seasons that the Dodgers and Angels shared Southern California, all we've wanted is one chance to watch them compete for a championship in something other than our imaginations," Plaschke wrote.
Plaschke notes that the drive from the 1000 Elysian Park Ave. in Los Angeles -- home of the DODGERS -- to 2000 Gene Autry Way in Anaheim -- home of the ANGELS -- is a simple one.
"But from the National League to the American League," Plaschke wrote, "the chasm has seemed endless."
This fall marks only the second time in 48 seasons that both of Southern California's baseball teams have made the postseason in the same year.
Now, thanks to a pair of teams with great managers, clutch hitters and top-notch pitching, Southern California baseball fans are thinking this might be their year to witness the first Freeway Series, breaking a lengthy drought.
Just don't tell the Cubs' fans.
