Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 175

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 used to spend a lot of time in Milwaukee back in my Navy days. Had some fun times up there, and I've probably been to more games at County Stadium and Miller Park than anywhere else. Sure the players are punks, but I don't mind the fans. And it's not like they don't have good cause to hate us.

I feel like a bad luck curse for the birds. I tuned in just in time to watch Lohse's explosion in the first, I go out to mow the yard, come back, and it's 7-3 Cards.

veist · 08-04-2011, 07:34 PM

Well ****, Freese took one to the dome? I blame Ryan Theriot.

bases loaded, no one out. TLR brings in Motte. He gets a weak fly ball to the SS. Strikes out the next batter, totally owns the guy. and what happens TLR brings in the lefty to pitch to the lefty. Motte and Laird are laughing when Larussa comes to pull him....I'm sure it was some comment like WTF do you have to do to stay in the game...

And of course the lefty promptly gives up the single and is pulled for Salas to save the day.

TLR almost overmanaged us out of a win.

He's a moron for turning Rzepczynski into a damned LOOGY. The guy's value was supposed to be in his ability to give you innings and dominate lefties, not one or the other.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 08-09-2011, 07:51 PM

That might be the luckiest three outs with the bases loaded - sans a triple play - I've ever seen.

Rams Fan · 08-09-2011, 07:52 PM

Nice pitching by E-Jax there.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 08-09-2011, 08:02 PM

How the **** does Angel Hernandez still have a job?

That's an awful ****ing call.

Rams Fan · 08-09-2011, 08:04 PM

****ing bull shit.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 08-09-2011, 08:05 PM

His strike zone has been ****ing abysmal (as usual) as well.

Not shocking. At all.

Him and Joe West need to go away from the game of baseball. Forever.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 08-09-2011, 08:07 PM

How many more times are you going to chase that shit, Albert?

Rams Fan · 08-09-2011, 08:07 PM

Correy Patterson, everybody.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 08-09-2011, 08:09 PM

Chases 3 pitches out of the zone.

Dude NEVER used to expand his zone.

This year, he's flailing at all sorts of shit.

Rams Fan · 08-09-2011, 08:11 PM

I don't know how much longer Marcum will go. Get into their bullpen and I like our chances.
