Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 157

**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

Bullshit. They destroyed Perez's confidence because he wouldn't bend to Duncan's voodoo, sent him down, kicked him out of the closer's role and shipped him out.

The Rolen deal was horrible. Troy Glaus isn't in baseball anymore, in case you noticed, and Rolen has been the starting 3B and veteran leader on a division champ and a contending team the last two years.

I just hope someone bludgeons LaRussa to death with a lantern battery stuffed inside a cat skin bag.

Swanman · 07-27-2011, 11:40 AM

I guess I would look silly wearing my Rasmus jersey now. That sucks, it's a sweet jersey. Maybe I can send it back and get someone else's name/number on it.

Oh yeah, and **** that trade. **** TLR and **** Mo in their ****ing asses.

Glaus had a good 2008, then ****ed his shoulder up. But I get your point.

You're speculating on Perez, they didn't have a set closer in 2009 until Motte blew the save on Opening Day. In ST, didn't they say they were going closer by committee?

I don't agree with you about them ruining Perez's confidence, but I agree with that him for an injured DeRosa wasn't a good trade.

I hope Edmonds foot heels, he signs with the Buccos and they beat us every ****ing time we play.

I hope the next time LaRussa gets drunk and hits the highway, he finds the same mother****ing tow truck that Josh Hancock did.

**** this team.

Rams Fan · 07-27-2011, 12:08 PM

The Cardinals are set up better for the short term. If they don't make the playoffs, more people associated with the team need to leave.

Damn. I don't like this trade either, but in their defense, the Cards are in 1st place.

Rams Fan · 07-27-2011, 01:12 PM

Cardinals get 3 PTBNL or cash.

When "or cash" is included as a possibility, the list of PTBNL is usually complete dogshit.

The Jays aren't playing for today, so if it was a legit prospect, he'd have been included.

The PTBNL are probably just 10th round and later guys from the 2011 draft that couldn't be traded yet due to service time. Once they're eligible, we'll get our list of possibilities from Toronto. The list will be lousy - the list is always lousy.

And Dollar Bill will take the cash anyway.

In the NFC West there's nary a QB to be found and the division was one by the plucky upstarts that had the closest to a legitimate quarterback around.

In the NL Central, you can't find a manager worth a shit outside of Pittsburgh. Jim Tracy is the Sam Bradford of the NL Central. He probably doesn't have the horses to ultimately win the thing, but he'll keep them in it longer than he should because the rest of the division is rudderless.

Jim Tracy is with the Rockies, you mean Clint Hurdle.
