Loser Cardinals fans

[Derwood]

this thread title is awfully redundant

If it was just some idiot who made a Cubs suck sign, it would be pretty lame.

 

But to be able to spell that out and make it readable on that scale is impressive. It's obviously not the most original thing anyone has ever done, but I like it.

There is no question the Cards fans are more pathetic. Problem is, living here has made me nearly as petty and spiteful as they are. On a random morning in December, the radio guys on a non-sports station will talk about how they hate the Cubs. It makes no sense. Not to mention, Cards Talk has infinitely more threads about the Cubs than there are here about the Cards.

 

I mean, other than those making fun of their fans. We have plenty of those.

Hello, long-time lurking Cards fan. Great board. No, I'm not a mindless troll.

 

Anyway, in some way, I agree with many of you here. I have never fully understood the many, many Cards fans who dislike the Cubbies/Cubs fans so adamantly. My formative years in the 80s and 90s, the Cubs were always just, well the Cubbies. I directed my angst toward the Astros, who always seemed to screw the Cards over, especially if I was at games.

 

Honestly, though, I didn't hear nearly as much vitriol from Cards fans directed toward the Cubs until you guys really started kicking ass the last few years. So I'd say it's not as much self-pity as a sense of spoiled superiority. Sort of a "Hey, the Cubs aren't supposed to be good! Screw them!" deal.

Welcome Maclowery! Good to see you here.

Yes, welcome! We love having respectable Cardinals fans on this board.

CT was absolutely hilarious after Pujols said he wanted Manny on the Cards. Dozens and dozens and dozens of "SINE MANNY NOW! ! ! HERES HOW!" posts. There are a large number of internet-savvy Cardinals fans who've banned themselves from that painfully obnoxious forum. Always good for a laugh, though.

 

One interesting point that sounded so different, to me, in this thread versus Cardinals fans at home, is what someone mentioned earlier about winning vs. beating the I-55 rival. In St Louis, I'd say most Cards fans would tell you that Cubs fans care more about beating the Cards than they do about winning overall. And I've heard several of my Cubs buddies say the same about Cards fans. Funny.

It's not like the Yankees/Red Sox. I think many Cub fans are jealous of the Cardinals success as of late. We still have people that talk about Cardinal pixy dust and don't want to admit what a great GM Jokkerty is/was or a pitching coach that Duncan is. I think LaRussa is really overrated.

 

However, I think Cub fans hate Cardinal fans more than the team. I know I can't stand the self-proclaimed "best fans in baseball" crap b/c they give a standing O to So Taguchi or whatever.

 

It is a much more friendly rivalry than most IMO.

A lot depends on which Cubs fans you are talking about. Downstate Illinois Cubs fans are much more intensely into the rivalry than Chicago Cubs fans, just like as a downstate fan I never really thought much about the White Sox until I went to school with a lot of Chicago-based Cubs fans.
