I understand it from the Cubs side, they suck and would be envious of the success of the Cards. The Cards though? I don't get it. Some say it's the inferiority complex St. Louis has for Chicago in general. Maybe that's it.
I will say this; growing up in Chicago and now living in St Louis, cards fans make a much bigger deal of the rivalry than Cubs fans in Chicago. I personally care about the rivalry more now since I live in st louis. In Chicago people may not like the cardinals, but it is not the same hate that the cardinals fans have the Cubs. I think the inferiority complex idea might be on to something. No cards fan would ever admit that and will argue to their death... so there is really no point. Just my 2 cents. Go Cubs!

It isn't about St. Louis fans making a big deal, it's about Chicago fans choosing to ignore it.
I will say this; growing up in Kansas City and now living in St. Louis, I know all about cities trying to ignore the smaller one of the two.
Chicago has always ignored St. Louis, and the fact that they routinely get beat by the St. Louis team is an even bigger reason to ignore.
Chicago has always seen St. Louis as Milwaukee without a lake shore breeze. They prefer comparing them to New York. All at the same time St. Louis ignores KC, and prefers comparing to Chicago.
If the rivalry was KC/St. Louis and KC was routinely beating St. Louis, I assure you St. Louis would be ignore it too.
That might actually happen, if the Rams leave and the Raiders move here.
