Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 383

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

The game's gone on so long I've noticed them start to sag.

This is a very good decision to leave Rzep in.

EIGHT.

I would have even let him face Hart.

The only thing that bothers me about Scrabble is that in the fact he looks like a roommate I had in college for a semester who bought melanin pills online b/c he didn't want to tan for spring break. They turned him orange, so everyone called him Tang.

Nailed it.

I guess getting Heath Bell for him would have probably worked out pretty well too, but given the sheer number of arms we've needed to keep the pen alive in this PS, we needed every swinging dick the Jays could send to us.

This. I was big on Rasmus, but then again he is what he is. I could see him exploding and being Sizemore 2.0, or never hearing from him again.

I don't like pulling Scrabble here,

Again that's just me.

I would usually be amped out of my mind right now, instead I am worn out.
I am sure that will change with a lead in the 9th.

I was just thinking that he looks like my friend Laura's husband, but I like your story better.

I still like the deal for the Jays. It's not like they were going to be doing much with those relievers going forward and they turned them into a possible good CF in the future.

You got the lefty-lefty match up you wanted and it worked, and Scrabble isn't used to being stretched out this long at this point. Dotel is the guy and you still have Lynn in reserve.

I am completely down with that though it won't happen because we aren't the Brewers.
