Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 63

**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

You misinterpreted.

Jocketty would find a guy to give us Kyle Lohse's production for $1 million whereas Moe is giving him $12 million.

I already acknowledged that Moe deserves credit for signing Lohse initially, it was the one time he "pulled a Jocko". Then he turned right around and ****ed it up by giving him a 4 year deal (that still stuns me) instead of trading him to the Yankees when they came looking.

If I've learned anything over the last five years, it's never re-up a reclamation project that wasn't derailed due to injury.

Lohse is ****ing dealing this year... One bad inning away from being 4-0. Let's hope he stays healthy and continues to throw like this.

2 hit complete game shutouts? Yeah, I'll take that out of Lohse.

Our pitching has really stepped it up in the absense of Waino. We have the #1 offense in the NL or mayube baseball? We get our bullpen fixed by sitting Franklin all we have to bring us down is our suck azz defense.

Sorry I missed that.

Two great ways I can think of:

1. Stop sucking.
2. Go away.

"They must have short memories," said Franklin. "I think I've been decent for the four years I've been here and then ... to do that. ... But that's all right.
"I wouldn't do it. I'm a fan of the Oklahoma Sooners and whenever they have a bad game, I don't stand out there on the sidelines and tell them, ‘You (stink).'''

Earlier, Franklin had said some other things he later would regret, including a jab at the St. Louis fans.

"You don't boo your own team," said Franklin. "I don't care who you are or what you say or just because you spent your money to come here to watch us play that somebody happens to make one bad pitch and give up a homer and you are going to start booing?

"They are supposed to be the best fans in baseball," Franklin had said. "Yeah, right."

Wow. I think I'll make a point to get seats near the bullpen area when they come to Wrigley next.

He should Hancock himself.

Marcellus · 04-21-2011, 08:36 PM

WTF is up with Loshe? I guess that arm issue was the problem.

AP now among league leaders in HR and RBI.

Could be interesting.

If we get lucky with injuries, I really really like this team. The first week I was pulling my hair out - but the team is responding well. The Berkman addition is HUGE right now. Berkman appears to be a great guy in the club house that is a PLUS hitter and is showing is prowess at the plate.

Theriot has got his average over 300 now...pinch me.
