    Good point. It's just how you choose to view a rivalry against a team. More recently, the Cardinals have face the Mets in bigger games then the Cubs. Yeah 4 years ago you played a series of games that meant something. Do you also consider the Padres a rival because you played them just as many times in playoff games over the last 5 years? I'm going to guess that you aren't from St. Louis, Chicago, or anywhere in the I-57 corridor between the 2 citie...er between the city and the backward ass town. I live in St. Louis, along 1-40. And yes, the Padres have played the Cardinals in the same amount of games in the playoffs the last 5 years as the Mets, but the Mets-Cardinals rivalry can be traced back to the '80's. The Cubs-Cardinals rivalry has tradition.

    That was just one year. I'm not sure how that really fostered a rivalry from Cardinals' fans perspectives since the Cardinals actually won and true rivalries seem to be borne out of repeated bitter competition. I know that most Mets fans don't look at the Cardinals that way. I failed to mention the Cardinals and Mets teams of the '80's, along with 2000.

    You, are a die hard Cubs fan then. I'm a Cardinals fan, I went to the July 4th,2008 game in which Edmonds made his return to St. Louis. Fans cheered for him the first time, booed him the next. I consider it to still be a big rivalry, but lately Cardinal fans have started to hate the pond scum (the Mets). The look on the fans faces at Shea was priceless. I have to admit , though, the Cubs-Cardinals rivalry has lost some of its luster. In the decade where the Cubs are finally able to somewhat compete with your team on an almost annual basis would this be the time where the rivalry lost its luster to a team you play 6 times a year. Do you think the Royals rivalry is causing the Cubs rivalry to lose its luster too? Ask the dorky Cardinals youtube guy who he hates the most. It's just that in 2006, it was the Cardinals-Mets. The Cardinals silenced fans in Shea. Now, the Cubs are good, after the huge 2006-2007 off season spending spree Hendry did. Even last year, it proved that the Cubs were a good team but Ramirez was injured. If Soto does not perform like he did in 2008, it maybe a long year for him.

    To still be a big rivalry? Because the Brewers seem like a rival to the Cubs since they are closer.

    I doubt Pujols leaves St. Louis.

    If Soto can be the '08 version of himself, the Cubs will have a nice year.
