Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 434

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

Where the **** are you getting this statistical data? Off the back of a Summer's Eve box?

Watch and learn. Tards are done for the year. They had a hell of a run. TLR punked his closer in front of the whole nation. You don't have any starters that can go 9. Neither do Rangers but that place is going to be a bandbox.

It was a disappointing loss, not devastating.

This.

I think it was pretty much a given that the way our pen had been rolling along, the odds were this would eventually happen.

The thing that pisses you off the most is, Motte gave up one hard hit ball. Kinsler's ball is normally caught. It just didn't work out, **** it and move on to game 3. Game 2 is the most important game until game 3 starts. So learn from it and go win the next 1.

Way to sugarcoat it brah. Your team had a chance to take a commanding lead and wet themselves. Your manager out-managed himself.

He played the old time odds and got burned. It's essentially a 5 game series now. We will see how it plays out.

Just like we couldn't beat Halladay in game 5 or win another game in Milwaukee?

Just leave troll

This window-licking reerun has predicted the Cardinals' demise over and over. I'm starting to think he's a big butthurt good luck charm.

I dunno, I'm not sweating it too much. Adding Craig to the lineup down there adds a lot more pop for us than them moving Young back to DH so Moreland can play 1B. Sucks that we wasted such a gem out of Jaime though for sure.

Hootie · 10-22-2011, 01:25 AM

this is what I'm talking about!!!

amazing reactions

lmao

someone already gave up on the Cards...

hahahahahahha

WOW

hilarious

I love it!

I hope the Cards lose a heartbreaker in 7 where they play their GUTS out so I can listen to all of the "fans" take it out on LaRussa!!!!

hahahaha

Albert says he was planning on cutting off the ball and throwing to 3rd behind Kinsler because he was too far off the base.

One that we likely won't see again in this series (I hope I'm wrong).

We gave away one game in Philly that we should have won and a team shouldn't be alive in the post season when you give away games to Philly in a short season.

on paper we have no business being here in the first place. We won in 2006 with pitching performances of their likes of Reyes and Weaver. We need one of those type of efforts from Jackson or Loshe in texas and we will have a realistic chance of winning this thing.

Even if we get swept in Texas I think we can all agree that this team has far exceeded our expectations. We just need to enjoy the ride.
