(for the record if someone from Chicago did that about the Cardinals, I'd think it was awesome)

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Hehe, that's actually pretty impressive. And funny.

 

And nicely justified, because they are mired hopelessly beneath the Cubs in the standings of late.

thats the ballpark village area, right? the area thats been completely empty for like 3 years now? lol

 

that is pretty funny though.

Haha, yeah, the same ballpark village that is/was scheduled for completion prior to the 2009 all-star game.

They need to find something to keep themselves busy when there are no Hee Haw marathons on TV Land.

White Sox South.

With the economy the way it is, it's a good thing they didn't build it. I saw an article how the Kansas City Power and Light District (next to the Sprint Center and from the same developer) is already missing their loan payments and loosing tenants. That means the city and citizens will be responsible to cover that money.

 

If anyone ever proposes the same type development for the Wrigley area: please punch them in the face for me.

I'm impressed they spelled everything correctly.

I was just thinking.....who do you think has the bigger inferiority complex in the rivalry? I see stuff like this from Cardinals fans all the time. From the "Hey Chicago, how's the TV reception signs" during the 2004 playoffs, to a bakery I went to in St. Louis selling "1908 cookies", they seem to be more inclined to point out the rivalry and make a big deal out of it.

 

You would think will the successes of the Cardinals far outweighing those of the Cubs, the inferiority complex would be the other way around, but I think a lot of it has to do with the vast differences between the two cities that our respective fans call home.

 

So we basically have 3 rivalries (Cards, Sox, Brewers), and in all 3 rivlaries, a majority of observes would say that the non-Cubbed team seems to have the inferiority complex, and yet the Cubs are the lovable losers with the 100 year title drought.

 

I guess we can say we have a 4th rivalry with the Mets and we probably have the inferiority complex there, but that rivalry is dying off and basically non-existent to anyone not alive in 1969, or at least not fans before 1993 when we left their division.

I'd say St. Louis.

 

Talking with St. Louisans about this before, we've distilled it down to this:

-It's a small city vs. bigger city thing. Same thing that exists between New York City and the cities of Philadelphia and Boston.

-WGN's role as a Superstation during the 80's/90's and braodcasting Cubs games nationwide. Everyone else was jealous.

-Harry Carey became nationally famous when he started doing Cubs games on TV. Jack Buck did more bigtime radio broadcasts (Super Bowls, Monday Night Football) along with Kirk Gibson's 1988 walk-off home run but never got the noteriety.

-Busch II was a cold cookie cutter donut in the middle of a "bleh" downtown. Busch III is one of the worst and cheapest of new ballparks in the middle of the same. Wrigley soldiers along in a thriving neighborhood.

-The southern Illinois vs Chicago rivalry.

Maybe this year you won't get swept out of the first round. At least the Brew Crew mustered a win against the eventual champs.

cards fans probably do have a little more of an inferiority complex. the small city/big city is probably part of it, but i think cub fans tend to just be focused on finally winning a world series rather than beating the cardinals.

 

cub fans definitely hate the mets more than met fans hate the cubs. met fans really couldn't give a crap, mostly because most of the bad things happening in that rivalry have happened to the cubs.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

No doubt - cards fans obsess about the cubs more. Cub fans tend to wallow in their own self-misery. We're both annoying in our own special way.

It's not that they hate too much, but that we hate too little?

Welcome to the Forum. Please take note that this is a Cubs' forum and you're not going to last long here if you decided to talk smack.

so i can't post a response like "congrats on that one playoff game won, i hope you can enjoy it throughout your next 25 year playoff drought"?

You could try, but I don't think he/she is going to respond to you. Person had two posts, both of which were trolling. Banned.

yikes

I think I found my new signature line.

[Mark_R]

Its pretty hilarious riding the Metro down here and listen to people talk about the Cubs. There is so much Cubs' angst. Their bitchiness is epic.

[hawkcub]

While I can see rivals being over the top in there hatred of the cubs. What I think is funny is when you get someone who is a Twins fan or say Rockies fan who has the Cub hate. I really never get this. Your not a rival but for some reason you have the Cub hate going on. Never understood this mentality.

Shouldn't you be out trying to knock down a bowling pin, dressed in orange and shooting a deer or trying to pick up one of those slender Wisconsin women?

I don't know. The first "C" kind of looks like a sideways "Y."

[CoBleacherBum]

A Card fan bud of mine showed me this picture the other day then goes on to say how obnoxious Cubs fans are. How ironic I say.
