F the Cards. I wish Cueto would've landed that kick right into Carpenter's mouth last year.

There's always something, every single series with these clubs. I love it, especially as long as the Reds keep dominating

No way. Cards/cubs rivalry trumps it IMO.

Cards/Cubs have and always will be rivals and in a traditional sense the Cubs will always be the #1 rival. St. Louis/Chicago rivalries in baseball date back to the 1880s with the original Browns and White Sox.

That said, there isn't more hate in the game right now between two teams than the Reds and Cards. The managers loathe each other, Jocketty has a chip on his shoulder towards the Cards, the players don't like each other, and oh yeah, one of the two teams will win the Central. It makes for fun, although I wouldn't use the word rivalry to describe it. It's just two good teams that can't stand each other.

However, In 5 years this whole thing will have died down and the Cards/Cubs will still go on as rivals until the end of time.

The Cards and Reds hate each other, and they are both good teams. Advantage: Reds/Cards

Btw, TLR should shut the hell up, Marty was dead on about the league's biggest crybaby dbag (Carpenter) and the league's oldest 1st grader (Duncan).

I'd play against these guys with one leg. We have to beat these guys. I hate the Cardinals. All they do is ***** and moan about everything, all of them, they're little *****es, all of 'em. I really hate the Cardinals. Compared to the Cardinals, I love the Chicago Cubs. Let me make this clear: I hate the Cardinals." - Brandon Phillips

Nothing like a good manager vs broadcaster spat.

Tony is still p***y hurt.

Quote:
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, more or less, has put behind him Cincinnati Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman's criticisms of the Cardinals as "whiners" and the "most hated team in baseball." But what nettles him more, he said, is what he hasn't heard from the Cincinnati organization.

"There are people in that organization, from the top - (Bob) Castellini, Walt (general manager Walt Jocketty), Jerry Walker, to the players who were here - they know how we compete," La Russa said. "If you win, you shut your mouth and enjoy it. When you lose, you tip your cap.

"The guys who are in the best position (to say anything) are the owner (Castellini) and the general manager. I'm really disappointed they've been so mute - that they didn't say, ‘That's (Brennaman's) opinion. We don't necessarily agree with it.' It really bothers me."
