Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 392

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

just like Greinke cost himself $50M this postseason...who wants to sign a guy who can't pitch under pressure?

Greinke wanted to play for a winner? Really? Really?

Freese will get it thanks to the announcers but its the bullpen as a whole that deserves it.

If he takes 6 MPH off his fastball he'll throw a two-hit shutout in Game 1, provided we make it there.

True. Good call also Meat on the must win stuff. I was just scared of the park, as it showed tonight, that we woudl be in trouble there with the brew crew lineup.

Again, I was wrong and I am eating crow on that one.

Good timing, eh?

It's become my playoff beer.

That is legal theft. My local beer well is about to open back up. Tank 7 is first on my list. Love you can get 12oz now.
I may need to get some 750mls for the WS.

Not a fan, but it's not Greinke's fault nobody could play defense behind him.

I think it's Freese.

Actually I'd give it to TLR. He has been pretty nails pulling all the right strings.

In nearly any other series, Pujols wins it running away, but Freese has been in Godmode the last 8 games. He was ****ing HORRIBLE the first three games of the Philly series, and has been absolutely lights out since.

perhaps if he announces he's "totally changing his mechanics" someone will take a chance on him for $150M

nah

I saw the one stat I needed...1 swing and miss all game long

Greinke isn't a gamer...which is sad...he's my favorite pitcher in the game...he showed me NOTHING this postseason...other than a big ol' flappy vagina
