Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 185

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

Aside from the fact it would be the count if Pujols had swung and missed, hit a ball foul or take a pitch for a strike?

**BigRedChief** · 08-15-2011, 08:09 PM

This is the kind of loss thay keeps the team moving forward.

It's what Thom Brennaman said as Lidge was hanging the slider.

Ah.

Well, it wasn't hard to tell who you are.

Feel free to post in the Other Sports section, not as big as Baseball Talk, Social or Rants, but we have some decent football discussion going on now and again.

Even have a few Chiefs fans over there.

Selfish, but I don't give a ****, seeing how this team is unlikely to catch Milwaukee or the WC spot - but:

I'm praying to God that TLR bumps Westbrook back a day and gives Carp the start on Sunday night against Chicago on his normal rest.

If I get stuck watching Jackson AND Westbrook, I'm going to be unhappy.

Sounds like there is a drinking problem involved. Maybe they are trying some shock therapy before something happens to derail his career.

**** you, Al.

"Well, half of those 21 blown saves were early."

Does that make them like a half of a blown save then?

Asshole.

**** you too, Salas.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 08-16-2011, 08:25 PM

Three run double in the first for Colby.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 08-16-2011, 08:26 PM

****ing robbed twice in one inning.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 08-16-2011, 08:31 PM

Season over.

See y'all in 2012.

Drive safe, God Bless.
