Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 381

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

Anyone know when the World Series starts? This bullpen needs a rest like none other.

Marcellus · 10-16-2011, 08:42 PM

We have to win tonight to have any chance in the WS. The bullpen is worn the **** out.

If any Cardinal fan thinks we are relatively safe in this bandbox and our bullpen running on fumes.....they are delerious.

But, scrabble is spot on.

Frazod · 10-16-2011, 08:43 PM

Finally we get those annoying pricks out.

Marcellus · 10-16-2011, 08:44 PM

9 to go.

Yes. I believe we were ranked #24 at the time. After the game, I went outside and took an aluminum bat to a five gallon bucket.

Rzep, that was an absolute nails inning.

9 outs away.

I'd go Lynne, Dotel, Motte to finish this thing out.

Frazod · 10-16-2011, 08:44 PM

Nice. A mythical 1-2-3 inning.

veist · 10-16-2011, 08:45 PM

I <3 Scrabble, guy has been nails all series.

**BigRedChief** · 10-16-2011, 08:45 PM

Dontel for the 7th and Motte for the 2 inning save?

probably not. Motte is only good for the usual 4 out save.

Yeah, I remember dad was going nuts.

Great two innings by scrabble.

Credit where credit is due, we aren't where we are right now if Mo doesn't make those moves in July. As much as he has screwed up, those moves worked out better than I ever would have imagined.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-16-2011, 08:47 PM

Lynn to Rhodes (Fielder) to Dotel to Motte

mnchiefsguy · 10-16-2011, 08:47 PM

Things setting up nice for the Cards. Nine more outs to go, and they will have Carpenter set up to be your Game 1, 4, and 7 starter if necessary. National League gets home field this year. Can't ask for much more than that.
