Why are cubs fans so jealous of the Cardinals?

One of the main reasons could be that the Cubs haven't been in the World Series since 1945, and they haven't won a Championship since 1908.  Plus the fact that the Cubs have only won 2 World Series compared to the Cardinals 9.  It's been almost 100 years since the Cubs have even seen a Championship (well 98 years to be exact), while the Cardinals last one was in 1982.  Not to mention the Cards were just in the Series in 2004 and have a lot greater chance of returning than the Cubs.  Does anybody else think this whole "curse" is real, or just some lame ass excuse to be a piss poor team?  I'm thinking it's more the second one than the first.  Every year at least 1, 2, or even 3 of their star players gets hurt, come on they just get scared and don't want to look like fools so they get hurt on purpose to save face.  Our new stadium could be another reason.  They need a new stadium, but who's going to support a losing team and reward them for being a bunch of losers?  Especially now with the White Sox just winning a Championship, the Cubs are going to be in that dump they call Wrigley Field forever.I think they're also jealous of the fact that the Cardinals have the best fans in the WORLD!  Maybe they should go and find a witch doctor to help take away their so called "curse".  Probably still woulcn't help, especially when they have to deal with a Championship caliber team such as the Cards.  I have a great idea: Why don't we set up a petition for the Cubs organization to get sent down to the minor leagues!

Ok,first the cardinals have won more games than any other team since the year 2000,658 to be exact thats 94 a year.to say they got lucky is like saying the same thing about the bosox in 04 or the astros in 05. Finally winning a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP is the icing on the cake. yes the Tigers didn't play up to there potiential but that showes just how hard it is to Win a WS,I'm sure they will be back and maybe the ball will bounce there way next time. It takes more than being the best team to Win,sometimes you have to get the breaks,and then captilize on those breaks,which the Birds on the Bat did.All of CARDINAL nation have been waiting 24 years for this and no matter what anybody else says THE BIRDS ON THE BAT are the BEST team in Baseball for the year 2006

You've nailed it Jen.  The truth!!  All of these people who claim to disagree with you are just not being honest with themselves.  Of course they wish their teams were as successful as the Yankees.  What fan wouldn't?  The bottom line is that money or not the players still have to get the job done on the field.  Georgie is always talking about the Yankees not winning a world series in this century.  The fact is the Tigers haven't won still 1984.  So what is your point Georgie?  The Tigers are nothing more than a one hit wonder.  Big deal, you won a pennant.  You are all missing the point.  It's all about the legend of the Yankees and how it overshadows all of baseball.  No matter what the other teams do, it's still all about the Yankees and how your teams compare.  Some of you just have to make your hateful comments to relieve your frustration.  I think that's pitiful.  Instead of being mad at the Yankees what don't you turn to your own teams ownership and ask them why they don't put a winner on the field.  And don't give me this money crap.  All franchises have the money to buy anyone they want.  It's a matter of stepping up to the plate and doing it.  Obviously they don't have the guts.

Being a Cubs fan is not that hard. I love the Cubs. It is not about winning, I love the Cubs, my dad was a Cub fan, he would let me skip school to go to Wrigley and I do that now for my kids. There is more to being a Cub fan than winning, I am just happy when we score, there is something about the Cubs, Wrigley Field, Wrigleyville, everyone is always friendly, No matter what the score or how the season is going true Cubs fans are happy and let nasty comments slide off us still supporting our Northside boys of summer. I grew up watching the Cubs, and they inspired me to play softball. There is no other park like Wrigley(well I have heard Fenway is comparable but have not made it there yet soon i hope though) The Bleacher Bums, the hot dogs, the Beer, I do miss Harry singing and Marla the ball girl I so wanted to be her when I was younger. It has been 34 years and I have and always will stick by my Cubs. No matter what they play hard and are good to their fans! Wrigley is always a sell out win or lose. Anyone that knows me knows I am a Cubs fan, I wear my believe bracelet all year round I truly do believe. I do not believe in the goat curse or blame Bartman, it took my Red Sox  86 years. I have hope and faith that they will win a series in my lifetime, but if not I do not care, I would never foresake my Cubs. I will bleed Cubbie blue til the day I die. \n\nI have tickets to one of the mets-cubs games July15, I must say congrats your loyalty is paying off this year so if my Cubbies can't get to the show this year I hope your Mets do, I have to give them props for a good season, (and I have to admit I did kinda idolize Gary Carter, along with Jody Davis and Keith Moreland in the 80's I am a catcher!!\nI am still waiting for season tickets been waiting for 4 years so far, even before the 2003 season.\n\n(this is a side note to mr drunk bomber! You have no clue what being a fan is, I am there for the Cubs, I may not agree with the GM and yes there are things that could be done, but no matter what the Cubs players do not give up and always play hard for us, what more could any fan want. A person jumping on a bandwagon of a winning team is not a fan, a true fan sticks with the team through thick and thin. You are correct about one thing Wrigley field is the best, there are no fights, everyone is friendly no matter who you are cheering for, there may be an occaisonal razz but it is all in fun No matter if we are having a winning season or one like we are having now Wrigley Field is always a sell out!!! Again I say I am a PROUD CUB FAN!!!!!!!) J-Far I apologize for this but I had to defend my Cubs and Comrads!

Cubbies!!! We must be masichists to be Cubs fans. Gotta love 'em.  We went to the Sunday game on memorial day weekend and watched them pull 7 runs out of their butts in the 8th inning. Some days they are on, some days they aren't. Stay strong Captain Cubby!

Let me guess, you're a disgruntled Cubs fan. Here's a fact for you: Cardinals record 26-15. It's going to be 29-15 after we whoop the Royals @ss this weekend.

The Cards are my favorite team, so I might be biased.  But, the fact still remains that Pujols is the best hitter in baseball right now.  He will eventually be labeled as one of the best hitters in baseball history.  This year is also the year that Bonds record has a shot to be broken, especially if Pujols keeps hitting HRs the way he has been.  The man just has natural talent and on top of the natural ability he has, he fine tunes what he already has by working hard and practicing to be the best.  Many people have all of a sudden started to accuse Pujols of using steroids lately.  FALSE, FALSE, FALSE!  They're all just jealous that he doesn't play for their team and they're just looking for someone to take Bonds place.  Since Pujols is hitting the way he is, now all of a sudden he's on steroids?  Must be Cubs fans saying that.  Get real!  I definitely agree with you on this matter, Pujols is the man and nobody in the league can come close to his ability or talent.

Well I can tell you, that as a Red Sox fan, that the entire country finds Cubs fans annoying. I sometimes visit Chicago on business, and White Sox games are usually really fun to go to. I went to a Cubs game once and I felt unwelcome. I'm black, and when I sat in the bleachers, everytime the white yuppies would ask me things like how does ghetto trash afford tickets. Or they would say things like "hey Wrigley doesn't serve fried chicken you know". Cubs fans are generally racist and elitist assholes like the Yanks fans.\n\nOh and to the Tigers fan- way to to blow it versus a crappy NL team. The Tigers just embarassed the AL, pretty much how the Cubs are an embarassment to sports in general.

For the people who go to Cub games, and watch and follow the Cubs. "Welcome to the friendly confines" can be read over either dugout. Our fans may have NEVER seen a championship(who has it was in 1908), and the bleachers are mostly drunk, but our fans are 1st class. As long as your not wearing a Sox, Cardinals, or Astros Jersey you should be able to fully  enjoy the game. Congrats on your engament, and I hope you continue to show support for the Cubs, and Wrigley.

Maybe because they are one of the top teams in the country.  Behind the Yankees, they are also the highest paid so they should be getting their moneys worth out of them. They also have been kicking butt in the pennant race the last few years.

they can, but they already won the series so it wouldnt be the end of the world if they lost.  Cubs players already showed how little class they have this series

They are hated because they have been dominating the league the past couple of years. A lot of people just have the habit of hating teams that are always doing well (THE DYNASTIES): The Yankees, The Patriots, etc.

They're morons who think the world revolves around them and their made-for-ESPN rivalry.\n\nWill be sweet again this year when both are sitting home watching the White Sox win the World Series again.
