The Cardinals' Rally Squirrel Attacked the Phillies Last Night

It’s always a good moment when you can work in a Christmas Vacation reference two days in a row.

Last night, the Cardinals’ bastard squirrel showed up at Citizens Bank Park, climbed the netting behind home, Nik Wallenda-ed the top of it, jumped onto the Phillies dugout, then into the Phillies dugout, and hid behind some cables. As if their luck wasn’t bad enough right now.

Videos – including an excellent shot from the stands – after the jump. The Phillies lost, 12-4.

Hey @Cardinals,

Keep the squirrel at home next time.

Where’s Papelbon? He usually eats these goddamn things.
