Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 49

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

That ball has to be caught. The team has made like 8 or 7 errors in 8 games. That's inexcusable.

No argument that ball should have been caught. That loss is still 80% on Franklin. You can't keep setting the team up to lose like that.

I ****ing hate Franklin as much as he next person. This has '08 written all over it with a touch of '07. If the Cards even get a win tomorrow, I'll be happy. Hopefully the bats come alive.

I can only find a few positives right now with how bad they are playing.

The SP seems decent, Augenstein has been a surprise.

That's about it.

Everything else has sucked ass.

**BigRedChief** · 04-09-2011, 11:10 PM

Another great performance by garcia. Another blown save by Franklin. I sure hope Tony doesn't stick with Franklin like he did with Izzy at the end.

Rams Fan · 04-09-2011, 11:29 PM

This feels a lot like the April of '08 with Izzy. I vaguely remember him giving up a HR in Milwaukee.

Scott Pilgrim · 04-09-2011, 11:41 PM

Yea i been a Franklin supporter for awhile now, but im done **** it, try anybody else Motte, even Augenstein, or Salas who for some reason is not even on the big club. are rotation is pitching to good for us to be in this bad of shape.

ChiefsCountry · 04-09-2011, 11:46 PM

You guys are turning into the Royals of the past decade. Losing the ways you are. Been there, done that.

Pasta Little Brioni · 04-09-2011, 11:46 PM

This is pathetic.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-10-2011, 12:08 AM

Just think of how awesome it would have been had that plane crashed.

You'd kill of LaRussa, Lohse, and Franklin in one fell swoop.

That would instantly increase the team's long-term ceiling exponentially.

yeah right....you would swap clubs with ours right now and you know it. We have different expectation than the Royals. We expect to make the playoffs every year. Your club hopes once every ten years you may be in a place that if all the cards fall into place you might be able to compete for a playoff spot.

U-Verse is blacking out 20 games.

Not their fault, **** FSMidwest.
