So, if Yankees play the Mets, it is called the Subway Series, is there a nickname for games between the Cubs and the White Soxes?

And, how about Dodgers and Angels, Giants and A’s? I don’t even hear any nicknames for local rivalries in other sports around New York either.

yes, either cross-town rivalry or subway series.
South side vs. North side… Civil war?
The “El” series.
The Windy City Classic
The Lou and Ozzie show
As I sit here thinking these up I am happily waiting in the Brewers Virtual Waiting Room trying to get more tickets for the NLDS.
Brewers Vs. Cubs = I-94 Series
Crosstown Classic is what we’ve always called it.
PrancingUrchin is right on. Crosstown Classic. Although, as excited as I am that not only my beloved Cubbies have another shot at the Series, but the Sox as well, I have to say that were there to be a Cubs/White Sox world series, I fear the city will explode.
…...hence Jack’s “disaster” answer…
After asking and searching around, here is what I got:
Yankees – Mets: Subway Series
Cubs – White Soxes: Crosstown Classic
Dodgers – Angels: Freeway Series
Giants – Athletics: Bay Bridge Series
When the Giants played the A’s in the World Series, it was “the Battle of the Bay.”
I dunno.
