Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 493

This is so unreal. We were dead. No hope. A season over. Somehow, someway we find some team chemistry and squeak into the playoffs on the last day of the season.

Only to find us facing one of the best pitching staffs assembled in years with home field advantage. We somehow, someway find a way to beat the best pitcher in baseball on the road in an elimination game.

We have to go on the road and beat the team with the best home record in baseball. A team who mortgaged their future to make this run .We somehow, someway find a way to beat them on the road and make our 18th World series trip.

We take game 1, we give away game 2 and home field advantage. Albert goes off for probably the best performance in World Series history and we take game 3 easily. Games 4 & 5 our bats fall asleep, Phone gate happens and its not looking too good.

Game 6, one of the best baseball games of all time and it takes place in a season ending go home game. Cardinals are down 2 runs in their final chance on the season, twice. They are down to their final strike of the season, twice. They give up a 2 run homer in extra innings. In the bottom of the inning their final 3 batters are a combined 3-26 in the Playoffs and a pitcher because the bench is empty. Somehow, someway they get some runners on and the comeback player of the year drives in the tying run. Mr. Freese hits the walk off home run. We will see you tommorrow night.

Game 7, With our bulldog on the mound pitching on 3 days rest he is able to give us 6 good innings and get us to within 9 outs of our 11 World series title. Texas meltsdown, probably left over from last nights game and its over.

The underdog, come back team who had no business even being in the playoffs wins a World championship. They make movies about events like this in life. Events that you remember even if your not a fan of the sport or team for the rest of your life.

When it is your team.......Priceless

Do you like Quade as manager? I watch some Cubs game living where I live and I got a good impression from him this year once he took over.

**** no. Quade is worse than TLR's performance last night.

I wouldn't say there is a 0% chance he comes back next year but with literally the entire FO changing the chances of him coming back is probably .0001% and I'm ecstatic.

Hmmm ok. Why? Honestly I'm curious about your opinion as a Cubs fan.

I appreciate good baseball. Love the game...the Royals suck, the Cubs suck...even the Sox sucked this year...

but I won my fantasy league so I had a fun year

Oh, certainly. I remember in vivid detail your myriad of posts talking about how the White Sox had no weaknesses......

He's a minor leaguer pretending to be a major leaguer.

Just listening to his post games makes me want to vomit the chili I ate 3 weeks ago.

Heh ok. I don't suppose Theo CAN even keep him around and keep up appearances anyway. He's got to make changes to his own guys as a new GM... or VP of Operations or whatever his title is.

Francona to the Cubs?

Maybe they'll hire LaRussa. Then Pootie can come out of the closet.

I would love Francona to come here.

No one respects Quade. He's be slapped around by every veteran on the team and he just sits on his ass. It's a joke.

Gotcha.

Didn't mean to sidetrack the thread. Back to your regularly scheduled Cardinals talk.

I was really surprised how the new Cubs ownership shit all over Sandberg. Most of the people I talked to up here thought he was a shoe-in to get the managerial job when Pinella packed it in.

I think TLR stays is StL. You guys are stuck with him. There are worse fates.

What else can you expect from an organization that had almost their entire payroll locked up in a handful of players with NTC's.

I swear he's schizophrenic. There's a Good Tony and a Bad Tony. Good Tony got us from oblivion to the World Series. Now Bad Tony's back.

I would agree with that. But he's best with his and his teams back against the wall. I'd expect good Tony to come back tomorrow night.
