Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 474

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

He shouldn't bat 8th in an All-Star game.

Nah.

Why the **** did he jump there. With Molina running he could have walked it to first.

kcpasco · 10-24-2011, 08:50 PM

Let me guess. LaRussa will bunt and give away an out.

KC_Connection · 10-24-2011, 08:51 PM

Mitch Moreland is a horrible defensive player.

Right now, we have one guy who can legitimately hit a home run.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-24-2011, 08:53 PM

If you hit Theriot here, you have to put Jay in center. It probably makes sense, but it's vomitous to think of Jay's spot coming up at any point in this game.

So Theriot is pinch hitting here, does Jay go to CF?

I know.

If Albert put a hit and run on for himself, I question his baseball knowledge. Either that or he really doesn't trust Holliday hitting behind him.

Punto ****ing sucks

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-24-2011, 08:57 PM

I just want to make sure that Tony just pinch bunted.

He actually did that, right?

Worst managerial performance in the history of sports, bar none.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-24-2011, 08:58 PM

Tony La Russa has money on the Rangers. There is no other explanation for this.

You waste a guy to bunt? Really? I'm done

**BigRedChief** · 10-24-2011, 09:00 PM

We may go extra innings here. Why pull one of your hitters that has a hit in the game to put a bunt down?
