This Cub Fan wants to congratulate the Cardinals for once again playing pretty bad till the end of the season and sneaking into the playoffs and winning yet again another World Series. Kinda like the 2006 World Championship. I just don’t know how they do it.
Being in a mixed marriage (he is Cardinals, I am Cubs) I root for the Cardinals except when they play the Cubs. My Dad was a die hard Cardinal fan, so I am familiar with the territory. I found myself buying my husband a Championship t-shirt today. I have no animosity toward the Cardinals. So here is what I don’t understand……………
Why do Cardinal fans hate the Cubs? I could understand Cub fans not liking Cardinal fans…jealousy of their records, the World Series etc. During the World Series, on Facebook I saw more spewing of nastiness from Cardinal fans toward Cub fans and I just don’t get it. These comments were not in response to anything a Cub fan had said. Just zings and nasty arrows with no provocation. Why not just enjoy a great ending to a less than inspirational season? Why can’t they just celebrate a good thing without having to try to make someone feel bad.
We Cub fans are patient people, we handle disappointment well and I would say we make great “friends”…….who is more loyal than a Cub fan?
