I don't think there's any TV coverage of this series, but the link above to the MLB page should get you up-to-date info.
None of the key Japanese players who are going to be posted are participating in this series, and the only Cub involved is Jacque Jones. Still, it's a week of baseball in November -- nothing wrong with that.
