The Chicago Cubs–St. Louis Cardinals rivalry is one of the most heated in all of professional sports. Fans of the two teams can hardly say anything nice about the other. This proved to be the case when loyal Cubs fan Lloyd Sy was a contestant on Jeopardy! on Wednesday. A question popped up for Sy under the category “Bald is Beautiful,” in which the answer was Cardinals legend Albert Pujols. Sy made sure to add an adjective in his answer about how he truly felt about the retired Cardinals star. “Who is the wretched Albert Pujols?” Sy answered, causing some members of the audience to laugh. “The answer is correct, I can’t speak to the adjective,” host Ken Jennings replied. “Go Cubs,” Sy said.

Sy, who is originally from Rockford, Ill., went on to win Wednesday’s Jeopardy episode with a total of $24,399. His hatred for the Cardinals played a small role in propelling him to victory.
