So, the playoffs start Wednesday. The Cardinals—while certainly overachieving this year—are not going to the post-season. Even worse, the arch-rival Chicago Cubs are playing in October. We here at Metromix thought it would be fitting to compile the top five places to cheer against the Cubs.
Best places to watch the Cubs lose

1900 Locust St. - St. LouisSt. Louis doesn't like Jim Edmonds anymore, so what better place to root against the Cubbies than Edmonds' own place? Wouldn't it be nice to see a close-up of a sad Jim Edmonds on the TV at his sports bar?
J Buck's
101 S. Hanley Road - ClaytonThe Clayton J Buck's location is the perfect place to root against the Cubs. It's nice and big, and there will be plenty of people there to help you cheer against the boys in blue.
Mike Shannon's Steaks and Seafood
620 Market St. -
St. Louis
Drink up while you watch the Cubs lose in Mike Shannon's Outfield. This huge, open-air place should have a hopping atmosphere.
Skybox Sports Bar and Grill
800 N. 3rd St. -
St. Louis
There are so many huge, high-quality TVs in here, everyone should be able to find a place to perch. Not to mention, you might run into a few Cubs fans here (since it's so big). And there's nothing better than rooting against a team when their own fans are present.
Lester's Sports Bar and Grill
9906 Clayton Road - LadueThere are a ton of TVs here, too. And for Cards fans out in West County, it's a lot more convenient to get to than some of the places downtown.
