I think a large amount of Cardinals fans do genuinely have no idea how the outside views them. I think we so often still think of ourselves as plucky underdogs even though that really isn't true. That's part of what people find so obnoxious, I think.

I'm guessing that those people who dislike the Giants do so because of this. That and the fact that the Giants and Cardinals transform into supermen when the playoffs start.

I'm obviously biased but I don't see a lot of reason to hate the Giants though. The players are super likable, they have great announcers (Kruk and Kuipe are probably the best team in baseball), and even their owners are okay since they are one of the few teams in pro sports who mostly privately funded their stadium. Plus the lord Barrold Bonds is the patron saint of this organization.

That said I'd absolutely be rooting for the Royals if I weren't a Giants fan but it wouldn't be because I hate the Giants so much as they're a fun team who hasn't won in a while so it'd be cool if they did.

I should change this wretched avatar since my toxx concerning it is over but all my teams are doing well right now so I don't want to jinx anything :ohdear:
