Cubs, Dodgers to renew old acquaintances

CHICAGO -- Let's face it, as a National League Championship Series opponent for the Chicago Cubs, the Los Angeles Dodgers won’t generate the same soap opera storylines as the Washington Nationals would have. (Dusty Baker! Daniel Murphy!) Still, there are plenty of tie-ins between the franchises, and it begins with the fact that the Cubs’ only postseason history with Los Angeles is painful: A three-zip sweep at the hands of the Dodgers in the 2008 NLDS. The Cubs had posted the league’s best record that year, just as they did this season.
