This Is Why Everyone Hates You, St. Louis

Shut up, St. Louis.

Look at this shit. Just look at it and let it sink in. This is part of some pathetic slide show—welcome to 2007, guys!—that the St. Louis Dispatch put together on the day the Royals are holding their World Series parade in Kansas City. It's 13 slides comparing the two teams in various idiotic categories. Don't read it. I clicked one, here is what I read, under a split screen of Royals and Cardinals celebrating series victories: "By the end of October, the 2015 Kansas City Royals had more to celebrate than the regular season's winningest team, the St. Louis Cardinals. (AP and Post-Dispatch photos)."

This one sentence contains more salt than the Wieliczka Salt Mine, which has fucking statues made of salt. I wanted to get mad about this stupid slide show and its entire premise, but I just feel bad for the people of St. Louis who subject themselves to this kind of thing. Oh, we were the regular season's winningest team [pushes glasses up nose] so who's better?

The Royals are better. They won the World Series. The St. Louis Cardinals did not. The Cardinals lost in the division series to the Cubs, who got swept by the Mets, who lost to the Royals, who, again, won the World Series.
