MILWAUKEE -- It’s not quite Red Sox-Yankees or Dodgers-Giants, but the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers could be the next feisty baseball rivalry between two teams situated exactly 90 miles apart.
It began last season, when the Brewers got off to a hot start, leading the Cubs by 5½ games at the All-Star break. But the then-world champions found their stride, leaving Milwaukee in their rearview mirror as they cruised to a second consecutive division title. In between, a little war of words took place, about rainouts and start times.
Where will things go this season?
