This news definitely stunk for the St. Louis Cardinals and all parties near their dugout on Friday night, but it's actually kinda awesome too.
Four skunks — for the purpose of this story we'll assume are related — decided to make themselves at home under the photographer's well inside of the visitors dugout at Dodger Stadium after stadium workers were unable to chase them away.
An Animal Control employee was then brought in to lure the skunks out and capture them, but that didn't work either.
Here's one of the initial capture attempts, which includes one person suggesting they grab it by the tail.
Not gonna work, folks. These guys are pros.
Well, we think.
It was ultimately decided to let the skunks stay through the game without any further disturbance, with another attempt to capture and release coming after the game.
We're still awaiting word on how that went.
In the meantime, those who remember the Cardinals rally squirrel from the 2011 and 2012 postseasons will not be surprised to learn the rally skunk is already becoming a thing on social media.
We agree with that sentiment whole-heartedly, although the Cardinals can't complain about Friday's results.
As they've done so many times over the years, and especially to the Dodgers, they rallied for two runs in the eighth inning to eek out a 2-1 victory. Skunks aside, pitcher Carlos Martinez was the biggest contributor to the Cardinals victory, pitching seven innings of one-run ball while striking out a career-high 11.
