    LOS ANGELES_As if the Dodgers' battle to win hearts and make history weren't difficult enough, here come the cuddly Chicago Cubs.

    Waving their homey white "W" flag. Trotting out smirking Bill Murray. Singing their schoolyard victory song. Huddling together around that sickeningly charming ivy.

    It's expansively rugged Chavez Ravine versus the Friendly Confines. It's Vin Scully elegantly waving to the crowd versus some celebrity screeching, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." It's baseball's most expensive roster versus (sigh) its most huggable one.
