THE REAL RIVALS Ok i m going to set the record straight The two main rivals are the Cubs and the Royals I know some people do nt consider the Royals to be a rival because its and inerleague match up but i asure you it is a rivalry I ve been to plenty of Card Royals games in Kansas City and the hostilaty is crazy The tention is high and there s almost more Cardinals fans than Royals There s alot of smack talk and good games even though the Royals suck I ve had a blast at many of these games and they felt like a fierce and healthy rivalry to me J Licata
