Cardinals Ask Dodgers to Beat Giants as 'Favor'

The St. Louis Cardinals want the second National League wild card so bad they're asking the Los Angeles Dodgers for help.

St. Louis needs to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday to have a shot at the playoff spot. If the Cards lose, the San Francisco Giants have a date with the New York Mets.

But if the Cardinals win and the Giants fall to the Dodgers, St. Louis would host a tiebreaker game Monday.

Before the start of games Sunday, the Cardinals swallowed their pride and posted a Twitter meme calling for some assistance.
