I just don't like 'em. I could go into details, but I'd just be reiterated everything that everybody knows about them.

The Cardinals don't play the Cubs very well when the Cards are the better team. When it's reversed...it's just intolerable to watch.

After sitting in the bleachers at the game last night I have to say, they certainly are a cocky bunch. Through the whole game they were totally full of themselves, then when we came back to win the guy sitting next to me told the Cub fans by us, Gee Sorry. The Cub fan says, What place are you guys in, third? The Cards fan said, How many World Series have you guys won?

For a team with a longggggg tradition of choking and sucking, you would think they would be a little more tentative with their mouths.

I've never understood why fans of other teams are so obnoxious in opposing parks, and Cub fans are the worst. Not that Cardinal fans are immune to this. When I go to another park, I wear some Cardinal gear and watch the game, mostly keeping quiet. Why do people want to invite the wrath of all the people around them?

I used to love to go to the Blues/Blackhawk games to watch the fights in the stands.....

When I go to a games at other stadiums, yeah I wear my Cardinal red and cheer for my team, but I never say anything about the other team. I'm way too much of a wimp and afraid of the people around me fighting, so I just continue to suck down the beer and pretend to be invisible.

I have a hard time disliking the Cubs collectively. Making fun of Cubs fans and their team is like giving a wedgie to the "special" kid in grade school. It's just so easy that it's really not any fun.

Call it a rivalry if you want, but can a hammer really have a rivalry with a nail?

Of course, there are individual players that I've loathed through the years (Barrett comes to mind). This year's edition doesn't really have anyone that bugs me.

Cubs fans are the new Red Sox fans,they finally get a good team and forget about all the years that they were terrible. Reds fans have been the worst at games I've been to,Tigers fans have been the nicest.
