The same could be said about the MU-kU rivalry. You can apply the same arguments to support the Beakers.

Nope. You're saying Cardinals fans should ignore the rivalry, show sympathy and root for the Cubs.
There is absolutely no difference to telling a Missouri fan they should ignore the rivalry, show sympathy and root for the beakers.

The fact is, it is a rivalry. A strong one, and an old one.

It's passed the test of time. It is what fans do. That is the logical reason. Otherwise you're a sidewalk fan.
How's the view from the sidewalk?

I guess that's it. Just been around for a long time, no other logical reason for it. Until this year it's pretty much been a whole bunch of nothing for over half a century.

It's a rivalry to be sure, however it's a friendly one. Sure, Chicago folks turn their noses down at the city of STL , (honestly, who wouldn't), but if you think they don't hate the team go over to Northside Baseball sometime and check out the 2011 WS thread.
I've been to Wrigley, partied in Wrigleyville, it was fun. No real ill will. Of course that was the late 90s, both teams sucked.
It was pretty heated from 2003-2008, and I think it will amp up again after this year. There will be some seriously butt slaved cards fans next year, and the Cubs will have the juice of beating us in the NLDS.
If this series had been the NLCS, I would be overly distraught, but losing in the first round, even to the Cubs doesn't do it for me.
It's a good rivalry, and it will get more press going forward as both teams should be pretty good for the foreseeable future.
The only problem I have with the Cubs winning it all will be the "Red Sox Effect". It's a very real, very annoying thing. Luckily, I don't watch ESPN anymore, and MLB Network is pretty unbiased in their coverage so it probably wouldn't be quite as bad as 2004.

I will never root for the Cubs because they have the worst fans in baseball. Talk about sidewalk fans, every a-hole in the country is a Cubs fan now because of how terrible their franchise is. It's become a hipster movement to root for the Cubs and drink Old Style, one of the shittiest beers every produced, for the simple fact that it makes you a "rebel". It's easy to root for the Yankees or the Cardinals, but when you root for the Cubs, that makes you a real fan!!!
What a load of shite, I hope the Cubs get swept and all their fans get dysentery.

Never said that, not even once. I don't care who Cards fans root for. I find it interesting they "hate" a team that's been so pathetic in nearly everyone's living memory.
