Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 34

**BigRedChief** · 02:10 PM

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

Jaime will suck and our bullpen will suck. It's not just a function of being worse than '07, though, the division is better.

The '07 bullpen was good. If Jaime sucks, put him in the bullpen and have Lynn start. Don't judge me for being crazy.

If Jaime sucks, he sucks. He doesn't have the stuff to be anything other than a long man in the bullpen, anyway. If he sucks, you probably need to shut him down and get his arm figured out..

The '07 bullpen actually was not that bad. This one is demonstrably worse. Factor that in with a pitching rotation that is probably going to be as bad and an offense that has holes in it the size of the Marianas Trench and you have some serious ****ing problems.

The division has tons of question marks. The Brewer and Reds fans are sweating it out.

85 wins may win this division.

Can we have Ludwick back? I'll trade you LaRussa and a six pack of Coors Light.

I'd give them the sixer if they just took TLR, I don't need Luddy to be a part of the deal.

I think it was right before the last series of the season, IIRC. And Thursday is gonna be fun. To be honest, I'll be disappointed if the can't Cards get 2 out of 3 from the Padres.

Well don't laugh but I think our pitching is better than yours, and pitching is what got us through last year, so we'll see.

Plus you have a dumbass manager.

I'm not denying your pitching is better than ours, but the Cards haven't lost the opening series at new Busch since I think '07 against the Mets(that series was a ****ing nightmare). We'll see how Carp and Stauffer matchup on opening day and whoever pitches after them. Good luck to you(except when the Cards face the Padres).

Oh, and we all know LaRussa is like that.

There was one year where we went like 5-1 or 6-1 against you guys in the regular season and you guys beat us in the playoffs. I was so pissed.
