Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 353

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

so...

I guess yesterday wasn't a "must win" after all

It's good to see consistency, though.

The sky is always falling on ChiefsPlanet =)

Found the live thread where the Pujols bomb happened.

Great moment for Cardinals fans. My roommate still has that .jpg as his Facebook picture.

But Lidge had his redemption so 'meh'...would've been cooler if it ruined the "best closer in the game" at that time...

like some Mitch Williams shit or something

The Rick · 10-15-2011, 07:28 AM

Ugh.

That game sucked last night. With all of those errors, we didn't deserve to win. Pathetic.

Hoping we can pull off a miracle tomorrow with Marcum to at least force another Gallardo-Carpenter showdown. If that happens, then at least I'll feel good that whichever team comes out on top in that pitching dual will deserve to move on.

I wasn't on the sky is falling bandwagon. We have already exceeded my wildest expectations.

We haven't had a pitcher go beyond 5 innings in this series. Our bullpen sucked for most of the year. There is something "magical" going on with this team.

We are playimg with way beyond house money. It took the 5th biggest comeback to even make it into the playoffs. Every year some team gets hot in the playoffs and wins games that they shouldn't, at least on paper.

We just need to enjoy the ride.

Not that I have that AB on DVD or anything

One of my favorite parts of that clip is when they pan to the Aastros dugout and you see Petitte saying, "Oh my God."

Wish I could find that.

A lot of this is semantics. Technically, nothing is a must win but an elimination game, but eliminating the chance of going back to the new homer dome is damned important.

I said after losing game 4 our odds of winning the series went from 95 with a win to 30 after that loss. Last night's win knocked it up to about 60:40 for us.

Frazod · 10-15-2011, 11:46 AM

I just hope they take care of business tomorrow. IF we advance, I'd much rather have Carpenter starting game 1.

Certainly wasn't a sky is falling moment, but it kept Milwaukee alive.

I think Tony is looking upon the schedule and being careful with keeping starters in, especially now with Garcia since he folded in game 1. He's found the bullpen rotation that has worked, now if they can only hold up.

Pasta Little Brioni · 10-15-2011, 11:58 AM

It would be nice like the old days to have him in 1, 4, and 7, but alas these bunch of overpaid nancies can't handle it. Not a knock on Carp as pitchers have an ERA over 6 with only 3 days rest in the last couple of years.

I'm logged in, and it still says it's private and I can't watch.

I've repped you my username if you need to put it on a list.

Thanks for doing this.

Frazod · 10-15-2011, 12:59 PM

I can't watch either of them, either.

Why would this be private? Is there pr0n attached at the end or something?
