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

No frikking way. Waino will just have to wait until next year. No set backs and we lose time next year or have to redo the surgery etc.

The Yankees and Red Sox will never be bad. They buy their way into good teams each season and eat their mistake contracts. The Jays will just have to get as good as them to win, but that time's getting closer. If they acquire Votto in a trade as has been rumored, that time might even be next season.

PUT UP OR SHUT UP. IT'S TIME TO DOUBLE UP. HERE TO TAKE EVERYBODY MONEY

Yeah I'd wait but if he's ready....I dunno.

And good lord I didn't know Alberts average season was that good.

I would love, love, love for them to get Votto the hell out of the central.

I just don't understand why Cincy would be willing to move Votto at this point. I know Yonder Alonso is a pretty damned good hitter, but if I'm shopping Votto, I need a number of premium players to get back.

Alonso, at this point is no Votto though. If the Jays could get away without giving up much I would do it in a hb.

Jocketty would be an idiot to deal Votto.

6 mother ****ing outs! Make it fast!

Don't see it happening.

Albert called time to get Fielder more applause. Class move.

Now, strike this mother****er out.
