Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 26

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

Yeah guys, most teams number 4 starters win a shit ton of games with no run support, didn't you know that?

One, maybe two would be great, he was a known liability going in with no solution for number 5. Now they have to count on him to be 3. If a major leaguer can't win a handful with less than 3 runs support why is he still pitching?

KChiefs1 · 02-23-2011, 02:37 PM

Crazy year for the Cards.

Why are you pretending to have a clue?

Yeah, expecting a major league starter to pitch like one means I dont have a clue, I'm sure you can drop your vast knowledge on me as to why that is.

True. Anyways, I'm not worried yet about the season. Cards can still win the div and it sounds as if the Cards would trade for a SP if they were close to lead in the Central, according to Strauss.

There ain't no silver lining in this that's for sure. But maybe someone will step up. That's how we won the world series in 2006. Who could have seen Reyes and weaver would step up? We don't win without them and no one expected them to pitch lights out before the playoffs. Is there someone out there to repeat that?

Yep. His name is Lance Lynn.

That's pretty optimistic for a guy who gave up 21 dingers in Memphis last year.

Weaver was picked out of the trash. Reyes had talent but had never put it all together and it was a one time event.

We don't need to find a #1 or we don't stand a chance. What has to happen is batters need to step up. We need to find some underperforming/undiscovered pitching. Duncan has done it many times in the past . He needs to pull out some pitching magic again.

**Reaper16** · 02-23-2011, 06:30 PM

Oh, ****. I just heard about Wainwright. It's always a shame, for everyone, when a Cy Young-caliber pitcher gets a season-ending injury. I'm so sorry for you guys.

thanks dude. It's a punch in the gut, a solid body blow but not a kill shot. We just need some major Duncan mojo rope a dope and we need it now.
