Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 2

**BigRedChief** · 02:10 PM

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

2011 St. Louis Cardinals=True Grit

Nick Punto has been signed. No problem with that, except I wanted Descalso to make the roster.

Any time you can sign a 33 year old broke dick utility infielder with career splits of .247/.321/.322 and have him most likely take the spot of young prospect with an actual possibility of being a productive (and above replacement level) player, you've gotta do it.

I ****ing despise Mozeliak and LaRussa.

I view Punto=Brendan Ryan, except with less potential to hit. But this basically means that Greene's going to make the roster and Descalso won't, so I'm pissed.

Dude, you know Ryan being shown the door was a locker room improvment not an on the field move. We needed or in reality, Tony wanted a veteran bat off the bench. Greene has had multiple chances and he will get another chance before this broke dick gets his chance.

He's not talking about Greene. He's talking about Descalso.

He showed potential in September. I'd rather have him on the roster than Skip, but that's just me.

By your logic, that means there shouldn't be any Mizzou threads, KSU threads, KU threads or Royals threads.

Your ignorance is showing. I'd be careful showing your lack of education. Someone might take advantage of you.

And if you are butthurt, the ignore function is available for you to use.

This happens from time to time. We just neg rep them, tell em to use ignore and they go away.

I was talking about Daniel Descalso, and Tyler Greene's never really been given a fair shake. Hell, he was more productive than any other 2B or SS last year, but that didn't stop them from keeping him in Memphis until September.

Greene at least has a twinge of power, and he can draw a walk.

What scares me more is that we still haven't learned anything. We could have had the O-Dog twice, but Skip Schumaker is the Jack Steadman of MLB 2Bs. Forget that, Steadman actually did something right once.
