Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 454

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

I think we can all agree he needed to be pulled, but WTF Boggs?

No I said it as soon as I saw him warming up.

WTF.

Offense has still been a dissapoinment.

Yeah, but you just can't walk 7 guys and expect it not to come back and bite you.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-23-2011, 08:15 PM

I just don't understand why you'd bring the last guy in your pen in during that spot. You could see it coming from a decision perspective, but you could also see it coming as soon as the pitch left his hand, as the dumb **** missed his spot by three feet.

This. We go thru stretches where we become very undisciplined at the plate. Tonight with Holland we haven't been very patient.

It really wasn't even close. **** I would have rather thrown it to the backstop as that pitch.

I just think you have to go to Dotel there, even if for only Napoli.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-23-2011, 08:21 PM

We had one of these games in each of the first two rounds. Game 3 against Hamels was maddening because he wasn't that good and we routinely let him off the hook. Same with Game 4 of the LCS against Wolf.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-23-2011, 08:23 PM

There was just no way we were winning this game with this zone. This cocksucking ump is giving him 8 inches inside and six inches outside.

Over-exaggerate a bit more. Holland has been hitting the black all game, which technically isn't a strike in the rule book but its routinely given, and the Cardinals hitters have been swinging at breaking balls in the dirt.

**BigRedChief** · 10-23-2011, 08:24 PM

That strike zone is an embrassment to have in the World Series.

Yep. It was bound to happen.

I was really hoping we could sweek this one out tonight (still time left) with carp going tomorrow night.

Go look at that strike 2 call to Berkman, the first K of Freese, and then take a big step back and literally **** your own face.

Hard t be patient when the ump is giving six inches inside

You bitching about a called strike that was confirmed on the k-zone is comical.
