Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 578

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 remember being at a game in Milwaukee when Selig got booed by his own fanbase.

A guy won $10,000 after hedging betting the Cardinals for $50 at 400-1 to win the NL the first of September.

I wish the Royals had a manager like TLR

odds are set that high in baseball?

the most you can ever get for a team to win the Super Bowl is like 100-1...

I can't believe a team (even 10 games out) can get 400-1 odds?

I went to St. Louis and caught a Cardinals game once a few years ago. It was a pretty terrible experience, and I'm a huge baseball fan. That is all.

you know, I read that wrong...

I guess the odds were so astronomical perhaps that makes sense...

but I didn't think Vegas even wanted to **** with those bets...because what's the point?

Baseball is the one sport to do it in though...that can't happen in basketball, and football would never give those odds to a potential playoff team ever.

Heh. I'll bet LaRussa sends it COD.

If you want a Chiefs aside for a moment, this Cardinal team showed you why the Chiefs organization wants guys with high character. This team has something inside that is absolutely otherwordly and superseded the ability of the individual players.

This was a true team.

Congrats Cards Fans! Way to represent the Great State of Missouri!

if I were him I wouldn't accept it, or I would, and sell it right away

he doesn't deserve that shit one bit

just like the Big Hurt has a ring from the Sox the year he basically didn't play...sucks to be like "yeah I have a ring!" when you really had nothing to do with it...

I wouldn't even admit it...

"yeah I have a ring because they traded me for some key pieces that actually did something to help them win once they got rid of me!!"

It's probably due to the fact that football is bet much, much more, so they take those potential rape payouts off the board.

Don't really know.
