I'm not a Cubs fan, but I wish the Cubs were more successful

this forced rivalry with the Reds is 1) fake and 2) like playing a slightly crappier Cardinals team - Triple A Memphis Redbirds perhaps.

The Cardinals need the Cubs to be relevant again so that we have a true rival to properly hate again.

I just can't bring myself to hate the Reds because historically they haven't mattered. They've never really been relevant.

historically haven't mattered?

how so? what's your logic?

8 world series trips and 5 titles should speak for themselves in baseball history

I bet Cubs fans wished Billy Sianis and his goat were never kicked out of that game.

Neither the Cubs or Reds have been relevant when compared to the Cardinals or Yankees.

However, the rivalry between the teams is what I was talking about...plain and simple the rivalry with the Reds just doesn't compare to the historic rivalry with the Cubs. Never will.

It sucks that we have to make believe that the Reds are a legitimate rival until the Cubs become a division contender again.

The Reds are closer to the Cardinals than the Cardinals are to the Yankees

so you disagree with my assertion that the Cardinals and Reds have never had an intense historic rivalry like the Cardinals and Cubs?

The cardinals couldn't carry the Yankees jockstrap, just not sure how you're somehow grouping the Reds with Cubs while simultaneously grouping the Cardinals with the Yankees. The Cardinals and Reds are more alike than any other combination of these four teams
