​Well this is just embarrassing.





Already having fallen far behind their bitter rivals in the NL Central race, the St. Louis Cardinals made a hysterical faux pas while hosting the Chicago Cubs.





After Kris Bryant's home run, the Cardinals erroneously set off some fireworks, in an almost Shakespearean display of self-inflicted insult to injury.





Cubs fans loved it, that's for sure.

Kris Bryant now homers for #Cubs, and fireworks actually go off at Busch Stadium, or certainly close by, delighting Cubs fans — Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) September 26, 2017

You can take a look at the hilarious moment in the video below.

​​The blast gave the Cubs, already up 4-0 on the Cardinals, a seemingly insurmountable five-run lead, given how the Cardinals are looking like Conor McGregor about eight rounds in vs. Floyd Mayweather right now.





One thing's for sure, and that's that Cubs fans aren't going to let this meme die.
