Who is the Reds biggest rival?

After years of hating the Braves, it just isn't the same anymore. Maybe because all of those bandwagon fans have been dissappearing, or maybe the Reds just don't play them enough anymore. The rivalry doesn't seem to be there.

So who do you consider the biggest arch rival to the Reds? Cubs, Cards, Sto's? Maybe Cleveland, or Carl Lindner?

Re: Who is the Reds biggest rival?

Dodgers will always be my most hated rival, obviously the schedule has killed it though. I guess the Cubs

Re: Who is the Reds biggest rival?

The most disliked team in my point-of-view as a Reds fan is Cleveland. I just don't like the way Indians fans act. It always seems like the little Indians hitters (Belliard, Crisp, Vizquel) beat up on the Reds every year, which irks me. I think the Indians are the reds biggest rivals.

Re: Who is the Reds biggest rival?

The Cardinals are a great rivalry, but I just can't hate them the way I hate the Cubs.

I wish the Reds still played the Dodgers enough for that rivalry to continue. It was fun hating the Dodgers.

Cubs or Cards. Indians perhaps as well.

But the Fowl Ones and the Hairy Babies still get the blood boiling.

Re: Who is the Reds biggest rival?

Chip R thinks it's the Chubs too. The proximity of the two teams and the Chubs newly found arrogance makes it a great rivalry.

Re: Who is the Reds biggest rival?

If you ask the same question to these teams, do you think any of them would say the Reds. I doubt it. Maybe Cleveland?

Cubs vs. Cards
LA vs. San Fran
Cleveland vs. Chi Sox?

Indians fans actually hate Yankees more than Sox.
