and just because she's there, doesn't mean she wants to be. She may be scared to leave or else she could end up in his freezer.

Let's not diminish the fact that he's giving this rant while someone sits on the couch behind him. That's gotta be an awkward way to spend six minutes of you life.

 

What blows my mind about the people in St Louis is that they follow what Sports Columnist Bernie Miklisz tells them, as if he was sent from the man upstairs. Whatever he tells them to think or stay, they do. It's downright silly, the place reminds me of a remake of the Stepford Wives...do as your told people, fall in line.

 

The kid even mentions Bernie in the You Tube rant..LOL

Man, that house is a mess. In the new video, there is someone lying on the couch, just sitting through this whole thing.

 

Where was the epic ending? I was hoping to hear more sex talk.

 

What a attention whore. And Soul is right, it's boring after the first 30 secs.

Of course, I found this quote on his profile telling...

 

Me...read? Thaaaat's a good one. Other than the Bible (which I read daily) I haven't picked up a book in....????

 

Like I couldn't have guessed that one... :lol:

The whole never cheer a Cub ever even if he played a bunch of years for the Cardinals thing was hilarious. And he included Albert Pujols in it. Awesome.

If I'm going to be completely honest, given the Cubs' history (I know it doesn't matter for this year), I'm not sure I understand why Cards fans view this as a major rivalry. Honestly, aside from the 3 playoff appearances over the last 10 years, it's not like we always posed a huge threat to them in the division. I get why WE consider the Cards a rival, but if another team had the lack of success that the Cubs have over the years, I wouldn't care enough about them to consider them a hated rival. I'm sure I'm in the minority here. But what real reason does this dude have for his hatred of the Cubs? Maybe I only consider rivalries meaningful when both team actually have a proven track record of success. And frankly, that is pretty new to this organization.

It's a combination of 2 things. 1) The Cubs lead the overall series. It's much harder to ignore a team when they've beaten you more than you have them. 2) The biggest reason the Cubs lead the overall series is that the rivalry had been going strong for 60 years before the Cubs really started to slip as a team. The rivalry by then is not likely to be dropped because children learn the rivalry from their fathers and continue to carry it on.

That doesn't have anything to do with the rivalry. If the historical series really had anything to do with it, you could point to every other team that has been around for awhile, and someone is going to lead that rivalry. The rivalry is what it is because of the geographic proximity of the two. There's alot of areas in mid-state Illinois where you'll find a good mix of both Cubs and Cards fans growing up together as kids or living next to each other as neighbors. As a kid, I had to endure all sorts of trash talk from all of the Cards fans at school, and they had to endure it from me when the Cubs gave me something to talk trash about.

Re: The rivalry

 

I didn't hate the Cardinals til I went to Champaign. It's a non-Chicago thing.

 

Although, I think it's growing in Chicago due to Cardinals fans coming to games at Wrigley and being all St. Louisy.

st. louis hates chicago. The city as a whole has always hated chicago and tried to "one up" it any chance it gets (see Worlds Fair 1904.)

 

How does a city hate another city? This doesn't make sense to me.

 

For Cards fans, it is simple. Where do you live. If you live near Cub fans, you probably hate the Cubs.

 

I live in Memphis, don't hate the Cubs. I am much like the guy dumby in the video is mimmicking, saying "If not the Cards, then I don't mind the Cubs" because many of my best friends are die hard Cub fans who deserve to win it.

 

I would think all Cubs fans hate the Cards because of most recent success.

 

I would also assume that overall w/l since the beginning of time means very little. Does anybody actually pay attention to that or know what the count is? My guess that is pretty rare.

Chicago and NY have always had a huge rivalry in many things, financial markets, architecture, art/museums, sporting teams, etc. Paris and Berlin had a pretty big rivalry a few years back.

 

A city isn't just the land it occupies. It's the people and attitudes that shape it, and history is littered with cities that hated one another.

Athens v Sparta, now that was a rivalry.
