Chicago Newspaper Trolls Cardinals and Yadier Molina With List of Things More Boring Than St. Louis
By Adam Weinrib
Even though the Cubs and Cardinals aren't currently facing off with each other, both teams own plenty of real estate in the others' noggins.
The Chicago Sun-Times used this Memorial Day Saturday to reignite an ages-old rivalry by bringing Kris Bryant's offseason fightin' words back to the forefront.
Bryant told Ryan Dempster on an offseason talk show that St. Louis was boring, Yadier Molina and reliever John Brebbia went after him, and the whole thing turned into sort of a false hustle clap back series from the STL. Did they really care that much, after all, about KB pandering to a Chicago audience?
Kris Bryant grew up in Vegas, went to college in San Diego and now plays his home games in Chicago. With this context, why would anybody blame the dude for thinking STL is boring?

Compared to Vegas, CHI + SD, STL *is* boring!
In case Yadi needs some reading material, Gordon Wittenmyer compiled an official list of just a few things (14) that are actually duller than The Lou.

Mike Trout and MLB Instant Replay lead the way (doubly so if either are in St. Louis), but the shot at Molina's histrionics in the 14-spot really stands out.
Nobody in Chicago's really buying his feigned offense. And it shows. He's in a situation stickier than his own chest protector. Snoozer.
