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.

Oh yeah, if it happens it will be epic. ESPN or not.

I don't think any "real" Cubs fan (whatever that means) is hoping for that. It will be great if they win, but I'm not interested in meeting a new/bandwagon Cubs fan at all. If anything, we'll likely hate them more than anyone else would.
Could you imagine suffering through the 70s, 80s and 90s as a Mizzou fan, having hope for the future for the last fifteen years just to get kicked in the nuts, and in 2019 when the Tigers win the Playoff having to deal with some jerkoff talking about how "we" won because he watched the last six games of the season and picked up a Mizzou hat on fanatics.com? I'd punch them in the throat.
Same situation times ten for the Cubs since there's less teams and most of our entire lives have been spent as the butt of jokes for being Cub fans. frick anyone that's jumped on the wagon recently.
