Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 257

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

Oswalt you leave that squirrel alone.

Frazod · 10-07-2011, 07:06 PM

Halladay looks to have settled down. They need to make him work harder.

One guy's girlfriend unrelated to the ejections became upset, and he said "This is what we do here."

That said, the majority of the fans were families like everywhere else. The difference is the level of aholishness that permeates throughout the stands in about a 1/3 of each section. I walked around the stadium the last 3 innings and it wasn't much different anywhere...although certainly stronger in right field. Of course Rolen was ripping them a new one that game which had to sting their tender manginas.

I think they referenced Philadelphia fans on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The episode where Mac gets to take the shot at the Flyers game. One of them said something along the lines of, "Philadelphia fans are brutal, dude!"

Yeah. Giving Halliday gifts are a bad idea.

Marcellus · 10-07-2011, 08:00 PM

We need to have another long pitch inning and get Halladay the hell out of there.

**BigRedChief** · 10-07-2011, 08:12 PM

key inning if Carp is going 8 innings

tk13 · 10-07-2011, 08:12 PM

Good grief. You should have to get a license to throw a bullet like that. On a slow curve no less.

kcpasco · 10-07-2011, 08:15 PM

MOLINA

No shit, I was just saying I hope they run then saw the curve and was like shit. And he still nails him.

Badass throw and badass tag.

**BigRedChief** · 10-07-2011, 08:16 PM

Running on Yadi? Even with a big jump?

Marcellus · 10-07-2011, 08:17 PM

Seems Halladay has a much larger strike zone than what Carp is getting.

kcpasco · 10-07-2011, 08:17 PM

Come on Yadi

**BigRedChief** · 10-07-2011, 08:19 PM
