We all know why the Cardinals lost to the Cubs on Monday night. We all know why the final score, 17-5, stung so much. And we all know it had nothing to do with the players on the field, the bullpen, the coach or even the weather.
the only reason as to why the Cardinals lost tonight is Juan Pablo

This will forever be known as "The Juan Pablo Game." #17to5 #EeeeesNotOk #NeverForget

Juan Pablo Galavis (who adds a trademark symbol to his name on Twitter — reason enough to despise him) starred in the latest season of “The Bachelor.” Fans didn’t care much for him there either.
Hey @Cardinals, someone punch Juan Pablo in the face for me, since he is there with you. #thanks

Galavis isn’t a Cardinals fan, or even a Cubs fan.
Why is Juan Pablo at the Cardinals game? #Bachelor

Two days ago he was in Kansas City with girlfriend Nikki Ferrell, a Kansas City native, wearing a Royals T-shirt.

With some luck, Galavis and Ferrell will not be at Tuesday night’s game.
Juan Pablo attends game at Busch stadium and Cardinals get curbstomped by the Cubs. Nothing good happens when that guys around.
