Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 84

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

Descalso "Tony moved me over to third base so i figured i should hit like a third basemen that last at bat" i like that kid alot.

Sanchez definitely looks like a winner. He's just overthrowing the ball sometimes. That slider is fantastic. Falls off the mound like gibby

AP strands the bases loaded yet again.

He just missed a bases clearing double by a few inches. But, he defintely doesn't look comfortable at the plate.

Puma, with a 3 run shot to take the lead in the 8th looks like we are going to beat JJ

Figures, they struggle more with scrubs.

Berkman has been a freaking beast. Crazy shit.

Pasta Little Brioni · 05-05-2011, 02:09 PM

Hell of a signing....Berkman goes Boom, 6-3.

seclark · 05-05-2011, 02:30 PM

That's a great win.

They just worked on Johnson all day. They worked the count, drew 4 walks and had his pitch count rising fast as they entered the 8th. It took them a bit to get it done, but to grind through a long day like that and strike at the end against the best pitcher in the league right now is damn impressive.

<- tips cap. Very nicely done, gentlemen.

JJ may be the best pitcher in baseball this year. Our offense is rocking and rolling. Holliday and Berkamn will not stay this hot but Pujols isn't going to stay this cold so it will balance out.

Glad to see Tony go right back to Sanchez. He threw all those balls until a visit from Duncan and then got it back under control. I still think he over throws too much but he's young, he'll mature out of that bad habot.

Pujols 3-3. No errors. Nice win indeed. Still in first place.
