Johnny Cueto and Brandon Phillips are like Pretty Boy Floyd and Babyface Nelson as far as the fans of the St. Louis Cardinals are concerned.
Phillips called the Cardinals "Whiny bitches" last August and touched off a brawl in which Johnny Cueto earned a seven game suspension by kicking backup catcher, Jason LaRue.
Cueto missed the April series in St. Louis but mastered the Chicago Cubs in his return on Sunday.
Phillips was booed mightily in St. Louis, then taunted the Cardinal fans through tweets.
Through four innings, Cueto has limited the Cardinals to one hit and Phillips put the Reds on top with a long home run off Kyle McClellan.
