Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 154

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

Holliday sitting tonight?

He just had the day off on Sunday.

Reportedly, it's because of food poisoning.

If Berkman messes up his shoulder anymore, there's going to be hell to pay.

Hey, better the screaming black shits than something that'll put him on the DL.

We don't need Berkman to beat the Astros. Rest him and put Shu in the outfield.

Albert gets a gift.

How do they miss that call even after using replay?

I'll take it, though.

I really hope Tony goes to rescue an abused pit bull and it rips his ****ing throat out. Why would you publicly undermine a young player who is getting hot right now?

Video from the interview with KDSK labeled Larussa's harsh words

And if on cue....Berkman pulled out of the game in the 5th.

Rumors are that Rasmus is going to Toronto for Jackson and a reliever.

Yes, you read that right, Edwin Jackson and a MFing reliever (probably Jason Frasor).

Jackson has already been told that he's being traded to Toronto and all reports are that he's then being flipped to STL as Toronto doesn't believe Gross is ready to play CF.

I'm done with this franchise until LaRussa is gone if this goes down as reported. I won't have him hold my ballclub hostage anymore. I'm tired of this curmudgeonly one who sucks the penis dealing young talented players because he doesn't feel like dealing with them.

DJ's left nut · 07-27-2011, 09:51 AM

Rosenthall says it's done pending league approval (more than $1 million trading hands).

Unbelievable. Absolutely un-****ing-believable.

LaRussa absolutely has to go. Continuing to support this ballclub will give DeWitt all the ammunition he needs to keep him.

I'm rooting for the Pirates and Reds until LaRussa is gone. The Bucs are building the right way and the Reds have the GM that created all of LaRussa's success in STL. I'm done with this organization until LaRussa is gone if this deal goes down as reported.

I dknt like how LaRussa has handled Drew, more in the past than now though that being said, we will miss Rasmus less than we missed Drew and I don't ever remember missing Drew.

Just because a player is young and has potential doesn't mean they are worth keeping. Rasmus is obviously not mentally strong. Not something he is likely to just overcome.
