I think your snark fell firmly into the "too soon" category, which explains the pushback. I've been trying to be good about letting the Cub fans have their day because--as you point out--this may be it for another generation.
Speaking of rivalries, I'm wondering if one of the consequences of this year could be a genuine Cards-Cubs rivalry. Growing up in St Louis, we never really thought about the Cubs because they always faded well before the playoffs. Now there's a real possibility we could end up facing them in the NLCS one of these days.
