Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 450

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

There aren't enough graphite rods and freshwater on Earth to stop this impending meltdown.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-23-2011, 06:48 PM

Thank God this is the last game this stupid mother****er will ever start for this team.

He's the Kyle Boller of SPers. Million dollar arm, ten cent head.

**** you, Kinsler. Drink a gallon of Hogfarmer's finest.

Ranger mistakes and errors might save us......

It's not a question of equivalence. Both should never, ever start for a WS team.

The only good thing we have going for us is that we can totally blow out the pen should this series go to 7. It would normally be Carp's side session, so you can probably get two innings from him, a few from Lynn, Rzep, Dotel, and Motte.

This strikezone has been atrocious and of course they're not helping by chasing crap.

Well a crap strike zone leads to swinging at crap when it's a loose strike zone.

They are calling pitches 6" off the plate strikes.

Surprised Carpenter is going tomorrow instead of tonight. Who will start for the Cards in game 7 if it goes that far? Figured Carpenter would be good for three starts (1,4,7) in the series given the extra rest he had before it got going.

Frazod · 10-23-2011, 07:20 PM

Mother****er. That's a strike for Texas.

veist · 10-23-2011, 07:25 PM

At least Jackson is starting to keep everything down now, thank ****.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-23-2011, 07:28 PM

Finally got a leadoff man on. Time to make them pay.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-23-2011, 07:29 PM

There's the nightly DP.

You don't want to pitch guys on three days of rest. Period. If he pitched tonight, he'd be pitching on 3 days of rest, and if he went in Game 7, that would also be on 3 days rest, barring a rainout of game 6 or 7.

Marcellus · 10-23-2011, 07:32 PM

****, making Holland look like an All Star. At least we aren't getting piss pounded yet.

If we get through 5 with 1 run from Jackson, it ain't his fault what happens later.

Big IF.

**BigRedChief** · 10-23-2011, 07:33 PM

That strike zone is crap.
