Cubs fans can't root for the cardinals. It's against the rules.

Totally agree. Not sure who would think it would be easy. They can pitch and hit, and have playoff experience. It will be tough.

these teams are so evenly matched, it's going to come down to how well each team is managed. Giants have the edge with Boch.

I can add nothing current to this as i became a non baseball fan after the strike they had years ago. before that I was a huge old school cardinal baseball fan. as a kid the niners and cardinal baseball was was my life along with my ultra cool yellow stingray bicycle with the black bananna seat. But old school fans may remember the great history of this rivlary. in 1985ish they had a brawl which resulted in the managers for the team roger craig and whitey herzog getting into a fight. the very very memorable 1987 nlcs featured jeff leonard pissing off the cards when he would run around the bases with one flap down. I think they had several fights in that series as well which went to the cardinals. it is very appropriate that on the 25th anniversary of one of the best nlcs series in baseball history, they meet again

I could agree here too. You guys definitely have us beat on experience from a managerial standpoint..but so did Davey Johnson.

True, but to be fair, Johnson hadnt managed a postseason team in 16 years. Are you even worried about Matheny making a mistake due to inexperience? I havent heard any criticisms of him this year.
