HILARIOUS: Cubs Twitter Trolls Cardinals Twitter
The Chicago Cubs and St Louis Cardinals have the greatest rivalry in baseball (that’s right New York and Boston) and it has extended to social media. During the first game of the incredibly important series here in September, the Cardinals Twitter tweeted this after John Lackey and Wilson Contreras were ejected.

And Javy. Notice the extra little dig, “Shook” which was obviously referring to the Cardinals Carlos Martinez.
Shook.
