Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 582

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

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Third championship of my lifetime. I was a few weeks shy of my tenth birthday when we won in 1982, was able to see the 2006 clincher in person - but this one takes the cake.

Hope the video I took at the bar turned out OK. If so, I'll post tomorrow.

Damn this feels good. Happy for the guys, specifically Freese, Berkman and Carp.

When's the parade?

Remember where I live. I'm going to be devoting a good chunk of the next several months mercilessly tormenting Cub fans.

Might as well start with you.

Parade is Sunday, shortly after the conclusion of the Rams game.

Well man, I don't know.

Sunday is going to make me pissed, prior to the parade that is.

Frazod · 10-28-2011, 10:11 PM

BTW, our pal Brianfo is conspicuously absent for some reason. I stopped by and left a little message on his profile page expressing my sadness at his sudden lack of participation in our little thread.

For me each individual loss isn't nearly as bad when you know the team for whatever reason isn't going anywhere...like the 2 in Chiefs a few years ago? I had no expectations of success and just sat down and watched football.

Thing is, I had high expectations coming into this season.

And the Rams lease issue is scaring me.

WV · 10-28-2011, 10:13 PM

Woohoo!

**OnTheWarpath15** · 10-28-2011, 10:14 PM

Enough with the Rams shit.

We just won a goddamn championship.

Enjoy it.

No shit. Who cares about the Lambs? Your team just won the World Series!

Or KU football. I have no idea why a Rams fan would be that upset about that Rams team losing each week.

Good advice from Zach. You have to savor a title, because you truly do not know when the next one is coming. The Orioles won a Series when I was 24, and I'm nearing retirement age now without even sniffing another. Separate your Cards and Rams fandom.
