CLEVELAND - You can take the Cardinals out of the playoffs, but you can’t take their fans' disdain for the Cubs out of St. Louis.
The St. Louis-Chicago rivalry is a passionate one regardless of the sport, whether in Major League Baseball or the National Hockey League. And if St. Louis ever gets an Major League Soccer team one day, you can bet folks in the Gateway to the West will learn to hate the Chicago Fire as well.
For now, the hatred is reserved for the Cubs and Blackhawks.
Blues fans hate the Blackhawks, and the feeling is mutual.
