Twitter Had A Field Day Over News The FBI Is Investigating Cardinals

Huge news rocked the baseball world on Tuesday that is equal parts serious and hilarious: The St. Louis Cardinals are being investigated by the FBI for allegedly hacking into the Houston Astros’ computers. The entire thing is ridiculously funny, but could also have major ramifications for the franchise. But while we wait for the latter to play out, Twitter had some fun with the former:

We can't lose sight of the fact that the allegations against the Cardinals, while potentially damning, are also unspeakably hilarious.

If this is true, I'm sure the Cardinals employed the classiest, hardest working computer hackers around
