KillerBs Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Does anyone have any old-time rivalries that you miss that no longer exist due to expansion, the wild card, and divisional realignment? I posted this because of a conversation that I had with a friend earlier about how much we miss the Astros and Dodgers' rivalry. That was a lot of fun. The juice/beer (Astros/Cardinals for you who don't know the juice/beer thing) rivalry is fun and all, but nothing can take the Dodgers' place on my list of most hated items in life.

HardcoreLegend Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I've thought that the Cardinals and Astros have a much better rivalry than Cards/Cubs (since the Cubs never really win anything). I do miss the Cardinals/Pond Scum rivalry though. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/32764-rivalries/#findComment-484565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I still hate the Mets. The 1986 Mets specifically. Lenny "O.G. Roider" Dykstra included. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/32764-rivalries/#findComment-484567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerBs Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 The Mets... Don't get me started on the Mets. Mike Scott is the man! Edit: What a series, though. And what a game six! Hey, wait, Dykstra was on that team, and he was on steroids! They should forfeit the '86 pennant! He hit a game winning home run in game two or three, and he hit that triple in the 9th inning of game six, ya know.

northpaw Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 the mets collapse this year kind of cools things off between them and the cubs. player wise i miss clemens-piazza and not really a rivalry but i miss when randy johnson would just intimidate batters with his wildness IE allstar games Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/32764-rivalries/#findComment-484576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson v. Kruk. And then, if I remember right, they met again the next year!

Mezza76 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 The BlueJays against everybody else was kinda cool... When they traded for David Cone (my favourite player) in 92 I was furious. They had such a good team. offtopic a little: but I miss the Lakers/Bulls rivalry in Basketball. My brother and I would stay up till all hours at night (was delayed broadcast in Aus) to watch those games.

Padres67 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 For length of time nothing matches the Dodgers/Yankees of the 40's and 50's-they faced each other in 6 World Series. In '47, '49, '52, '53, '55, and '56. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/32764-rivalries/#findComment-484625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
