Cubs Fan Holds Up All-Time Sign to Troll Cardinals and St. Louis Over Kris Bryant Comments
By Jerry Trotta
Remember when Kris Bryant spectacularly (for the city of Chicago) and infamously (for the city of St. Louis) referred to the Cardinals hometown as "boring" in the offseason?
Well, Cardinals fans have been letting the Cubs All-Star third baseman hear it throughout their current series, booing Bryant during each of his at-bats and every time he made a play in the field.
But don't worry, Cubs devotees, a lone fan braving the wilderness of Busch Stadium on Saturday night came to Bryant's defense with the ULTIMATE troll sign, recalling Kris' famous offseason remarks. Have a look:

Just look how bored that fan looks. And look how darn committed he is, flaunting his sign about right behind home plate for all to see. Surely, those weren't his seats for opening pitch but he was determined to get his (and Bryant's) message across.
Even the former National League MVP's teammates were joining in on the fun.

It goes without saying that the Cardinals and the city of St. Louis should make a major L on this one. Getting out-trolled in your own backyard on TWO separate occasions in inexcusable, even though they managed to win the game.
