Cardinals Twitter Is Melting Down After Giancarlo Stanton Rejects Trade
St. Louis Cardinals loyalists like to refer to themselves as the “best fans in baseball” and that might be true…as long as you don’t play badly for them, beat them, choose to play elsewhere or do anything whatsoever to upset them.
When word came down that the Cardinals had a deal set to acquire Giancarlo Stanton until he invoked his no-trade clause to block the trade, Cards fans went ballistic on Twitter.
Here’s a sampling:
@Giancarlo818 this #Cardinal fan has two words for you if you’re too ignorant to play for the best club in the league. #ScrewYou!

@Giancarlo818 won't waive a no-trade clause to play for the best fans in all of baseball, on a perennial contender. #Idiot #InItForTheMoneyNotTheGame

Boy that last one has some serious irony attached to it huh? Considering it’s coming from a city that still reveres Mark McGwire.
Well done Cardinals fans, never stop being you.
