Crosstown Classic, then Fall Classic?

Northsiders and Southsiders will be a little bit more excited for Chicago's Crosstown Classic. Both teams enter in first place. The Second City is daring to dream of an all-Chicago world series.

For a long while the White Sox looked to have the pitching to get it done, but not the hitting. A team that was among the bottom-feeders in the American League is suddenly 11th in average (.263) in all of MLB, third in home runs (97) and sixth in runs (356). The Cubs lead the majors in average (.281) and with 396 runs scored, they are second only to the Rangers (408). White Sox pitching, however, is tops in the league (3.32 ERA) while the Cubs' 3.67 mark is good for fourth behind the A's and Blue Jays.

I think it would be amazing to have the series all in Chicago, but the odds are heavily against. Both teams play like they down a case of that Purple drink a day, but my reason tells me only one will be standing by the end of October.
