Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 237

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

Pitcher's duel continues as they walk Pence to get Howard to ground out.

Rams Fan · 10-04-2011, 04:51 PM

Hamels might be out soon.

Great game by both pitchers.

Check out this story from a few weeks back, he discusses his time in St. Louis compared to Toronto: http://sports.nationalpost.com/2011/...fresh-in-2012/

He's an odd guy, not like your regular professional athlete at all. I can see why a guy like TLR didn't like him. Really needs to get out of his own head, I think, and let his talent shine through.

One of Hamas faves with another hit.

Rams Fan · 10-04-2011, 05:04 PM

Not scoring there may come back to bite in the ass.

O.city · 10-04-2011, 05:05 PM

We keep getting runners on and having Jaime come up. Freese is killing us this series.

O.city · 10-04-2011, 05:07 PM

We should have scored some runs by now. I'm not liking this.

Rams Fan · 10-04-2011, 05:08 PM

Bring Dotel in.

Jewish Rabbi · 10-04-2011, 05:08 PM

Get him out of there LaRussa.

Rams Fan · 10-04-2011, 05:09 PM

I need a replay on that.

O.city · 10-04-2011, 05:09 PM

Damn it. Should have had him at 2nd. Yadi has to keep that ball in front of him.

Pasta Little Brioni · 10-04-2011, 05:09 PM

Victorino with a near face palm moment.
