Instead of getting fired up for a potentially epic showdown of longtime rivals in the NLDS, Six Flags St. Louis opted for a more aggressive approach that blew up in their face just four days later.
The local theme part tweeted this message about hours before their beloved Cardinals took on the Cubs in Game 1, a matchup won by the Cards before they dropped the next three. They were eliminated four days later and although we can all appreciate trolling, this was closer to pure stupidity.

And yes, Cubs fans definitely bombarded their account with comments after Chicago’s Game 4 win on Tuesday night:
