It's a spoiled fanbase, to be sure.
They're not going to be real fired up about the next 5 years, but the bottom line is that the Cubs front office has simply outperformed the Cardinals over the last 5 years and those advantages are now being leveraged by Chicago to put a fair amount of space between the two organizations.
If the Cards front office is as smart as they believe themselves to be, they'll need to re-load and catch up. Or hope to get to October healthier/hotter and pay them back for 2015.
But just as Royals fans will be frustrated by losing Gordon (and were at losing Zobrist), Cards fans aren't excited about losing a very good player. It's to be expected (and some people are just stupid, including some that chose to root for the Cardinals).
