Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 16

**BigRedChief** · 02:10 PM

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

At this point I'm just inciting Hamas.

Quote:

Asked whether a deadline kicked into effect upon Pujols' arrival in Florida, or when he first begins to work out, or at midnight on a particular day, Mozeliak acknowledged that he was uncertain.

"Honestly I don't know at the moment," he said. "I'll know when I need to know."

it doesn't take a lot these days to make Cardinal fans fear the worse with Albert. Not a lot of trust with our GM. We still don't trust Dewitt, that he may be stingy with his profits.

But, if Alberts deadline is suppose to end distractions, he is frikking nuts. The best player in baseball in his final year of his contract and in that year he has a legitamate shot at a triple crown? Every city they roll into will hit him and his team mates up with questions. Regardless if no one says a damn thing, the questions are going to get asked. Fans are going to say "stuff". It will be a distraction.

Twitter is lighting up right now announcing that Pujols rejected the Cards offer & will announce on Tuesday that talks will cease.

Why? Pujols has already left. What is there to be scared about?

Save the money for pitching and build around Holliday.

The Cards have virtually no 1B prospects. I'd feel okay if Gonzo came to the Cards(if he didn't resign with Boston). If he goes to the Cubs, I will cry.

I would too, at that price, and I'm a Cubs fan.

Like I said before, they can afford him but I see him going to either the Mets or Angels.

Chiefaholic · 02-13-2011, 07:28 PM

If the Cards let Pujols walk and the NFL doesn't have a season next year, this will be one of the worst offseasons ever for me. I USED to be a diehard Bulls fan before ownership deliberately destroyed a dynasty. If the Cards pull the same bullshit, I'm done with them too....

ChiefsCountry · 02-13-2011, 07:31 PM

Don't worry I think you guys will resign him.

BTW. There is no way the Sox traded for Gonzo to rent him for 1 season. He's a young stud LH power hitter with that short porch in right.

Hey, there's always a chance they could.
