Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 351

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

Which I will never, ever watch.

I drove 1000 miles roundtrip, canceling my classes for the day, to watch that shit at Busch.

Vomitous.

And lets get on Marcum and save Carp for game one of a WS.

I LOVED it! Especially after what Mogilla -the-Gorilla did to us, and Brad Lidge, in our place a couple of days earlier. To this day, I have NEVER seen a ball leave a park quicker than that one...Man - oh - man!

Anyway - you guys got the last laugh so to speak because the Stros SUCK ASS now and you're likely going to the World Series AGAIN, with Lance Berkman to boot.

Good luck! But not if it's against the Rangers...

Eckersley looking like a combination of Joe Dirt and Harry Reems!

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-14-2011, 09:34 PM

It's nice to have a Cardinals homer (Eck) to balance out the ****s on the PBP.

I really thought that Pujols homer would break the back of the Stro's. One strike away from a WS, crowd going nuts etc. But your team earned its berth.

Bill Simmons invented a new level of losing for what happened to the Cardinals in Game 6 of that series.

Tell me about it. I was there. Minute Maid went silent. Time stood still. And we had to go to ST. Louis - (GULP!)...Seems like sooooo long ago.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-14-2011, 09:40 PM

"0-1 to Pujols....IN THE AIR LEFT FIELD AND PUJOLS HAS GIVEN ST. LOUIS THE LEAD...STUNNED IN DISBELIEF"

Not that I have that AB on DVD or anything

Probably the most famous home run on a non-deciding game in MLB history.

Gibson off Eckersley. Fisk in Game 6.

Marcellus · 10-14-2011, 09:45 PM

Man I like Marcum starting Sunday.

Even if we manage to **** that up we have Carp on Monday.

Should be fun stuff. Love October baseball and this season has been like taking a dump and then looking in the toilet and finding a diamond.

Considering the circumstances and the fact had the train not been there it may have gone into orbit, yea it was epic.

Also Ozzie's homer. But Gibsons and Ozzies are more famous for the call and Fisk for the visual.
