Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 270

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

Faked it or not, he's got to will himself to get off the ground and off the field. Let the Cards have their moment.

I still remember Halladay walking off the field on his own power after he broke his leg off a Kevin Mench line drive in 2005. The difference there, I guess, is that his pride wasn't hurt after grounding out to end the game and finishing a brutal series.

MLB finally came around but obviously Philly losing is on par with the Yanks losing this year.

"Dream Team" fail in Philly again this year.

I also think Big Mac is being ignored in all this.

The team lead the NL in all significant offensive categories. The BP is what ****ed them early.

Interestingly nobody is high average hitter, just a bunch of guys hitting well with RISP and not striking out too much.

Impressive because Halladay had pretty dominating stuff.

Except the 1st inning. The difference between game 1 and 5 was Lohse wasn't pitching.

Halladay got out Pujols and Holliday with runners on in the first inning. Pretty sure his stuff was OK then, too.

Listen reerun, jump off a cliff. The only one giving Howard any thought is you, dumbass. He sure took away the Cardinals moment in a stadium full of Phillies fans...

Difference in the game.

It's about having respect for your opponents, and perhaps most of all, having respect for yourself. Not that you'd know anything about that.

The credit goes to Furcal and Schumaker for great ABs (especially Schumaker who worked him for 10 pitches until he got one that he could hit). Not really a reflection on Halladay's stuff today at all, he was fantastic.

Chris Carpenter is awesome.
