Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 234

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

Without Torty, this doesn't happen.

And now if we can get Garcia or Jackson to pitch the game of their lives we can get to a winner take all game with a fully rested Carp on the mound. I like our odds.

We'll also be getting a fully rested Halladay.

Let's see if we can't just finish this off at Busch, eh? At the very least, winning game 3 could convince Manuel to run Halladay in 4 and help turn the scales a little for us in game 5.

Game 3 may very well be the series. Here's hoping we get 'good' Garcia - we'll need him.

Torty is the name of Craig's tortoise. He has his own twitter feed.

If you watch the HR that Craig hit against Houston in game 161, Freese and Chambers (I think) pulled their jerseys over their heads as Craig got into the dugout as a salute to torty.

Evidently the team has been following the feed for a couple weeks now. It's gotten all kinds of pub on FSMW.

Pujols came running into the clubhouse in his undies. "The doughnuts ha' arrive, mang! I could smell them! Gi' me the sprinkles box!"

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-02-2011, 10:18 PM

Westbrook asked, "What took you so long, Torty?" I replied, "I'm a tortoise. It's a toilet designed for humans. I don't want to fall in."

Upon reading the lineup card Berkman said to Master Allen, "Have fun out there in RF where the fans are literate."

The players were calling Craig Torty when he doubled home the go ahead run and the microphones picked it up.
