Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 194

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

I haven't seen LaRussa smile like that in quite a while.

I have bashed the shit out of LaRussa to my friends and still think he is at the end of his rope but damn this team has woken up and started playing.

I called them heartless and I was wrong. Hope I am wrong the same way about the Chiefs.

If the Cardinals win tomorrow, and that is a huge if, I will be convinced that they can do this thing.

If they lose, they are 2 out. If they win, they are 1 out.

Not a huge difference I know, but still, that 1 game could be the difference in making the playoffs or not.

The Braves are imploding and I know we need every win but I am more concerned with the shit ass Astros killing us the last series. That would piss me off to no end.

Astros on track to lose 100 games and keep us from winning the WC.

Probably the Chiefs fan in me talking.

What makes you think the Braves won;t blow 2 games before the end of the year the way they are playing?

DJ's left nut · 09-21-2011, 08:32 PM

WHERE WAS THIS !@#$ING TEAM!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

All I can say now is that they'd better !@#$ing finish the job here. They've simply pissed away too many games throughout the course of this season for me to be content with moral victories.

Finish this off, Cardinals. Finish it off or all this season will amount to is "what should've been..."

They face the Phillies, who are also struggling.

This is going to be similar to the Giants and Padres last year for the NL West. It may come down to the last day. If they can sweep the Mets and Cubs? I like their chances.

Marcellus · 09-21-2011, 08:34 PM

Suck for Luck!

Sorry wrong thread.
