For most Dodger and Giants fans, the old New York rivalry is just something you read about. Still fun as baseball history, obviously. They could throw the Shot Heard Round the World in my face, I could claim Jackie Robinson, but it would be mostly symbolic.
A large component of the current rivalry is the Nocal-Socal thing. For those who don't live here, it's a bit hard to explain, but here it is in a nutshell: They think we steal their water, that all our women have breast implants, and that we're generally up to no good. I'm not exaggerating much when I say that they raise their children to hate us. There's an odd inferiority complex there, considering that San Francisco is one of the finest cities in the world.
For our part, we think Nocal is a marvelous place to visit. Otherwise we don't really think about them. Unless you're a diehard Dodger fan, in which case you get perverse joy out of watching San Francisco fans shake their fists in frustration over having won fewer World Series than Miami, Phoenix or Disneyland.
