Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 41

**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

Fortunately, the PD writer is a damn moron if he honestly thinks Holliday will be out 6 weeks w/ a removed appendix (afterall, Cassel was back playing quarterback in 2). Nobody's speculating that the thing actually ruptured, so it should only be a minor laproscopic procedure that has him back on the field in a week or 2 at worst.

Hell, have someone whack him in the head and put him on that new 7 day DL for concussions - that should be just about right.

Guess it's too much to hope this is just an elaborate April Fool's joke.

Un****ing believable.

If cassell can play QB in the NFL after 10 days why does a baseball player have to be out a month?

And then he apologized repeatedly and said how embarrassed he is. He also asked to be suspended from the PD.

Its not the end of the world but it sucks. He may play before long but the effects could last a while.

Every athlete should have to have to have a pro-active surgery to get that unneeded organ out of the way.

While we are at it...Every pitcher that signs a major league contract must have "Tommy John" surgery before throwing their first pitch.

The Cardinals are a legitimate threat to lose 90 this season.

Theriot is horrible, absolutely horrible. And Schumaker remains a piece of shit.

So now guys like Westbrook are nibbling because they're afraid of contact and now he's walking the ballpark. Always good when you can spend $9 million on a guy then surround him with players that ensure he has no chance to succeed.

Berkman's getting beat by belt high 90 mph fastballs and Albert can't be bothered to run to 2b on a ball blasted down the line and off the wall (that the LFer had to go to his knees to retrieve).

They're lazy, they're disinterested and they're lifeless. Even if they weren't all these things they'd be a station to station ballclub that relies on hitting HRs to win while playing piss-poor defense.

They're absolutely everything a Cardinals team should never EVER be. And if you sign Albert Pujols long term, this is what you get until he retires.

I'm no longer apathetic towards re-signing him. I'm actively opposed to it. I want the whole ****ing team shipped out except for Rasmus, Holliday and Wainwright. This team is rotten to its core.

Rams Fan · 04-02-2011, 05:01 PM

I left at the end of the 7th inning. Theriot has horrible range at SS, Berkman can't play the OF for his life and everything else sucks right now.

I kept trying to tell people this in the offseason.

Last season he was with the Dodgers. When Furcal went down, did they play Theriot at SS? No, of course not. They brought up Jamey Carroll from the minors. Is Jamey Carroll some hot prospect? Nope - he's a 36 year old scrub with a career OPS of .700. So maybe he's a great glove man? No, in fact Jamey Carroll had played more innings in the OF than SS over the last 3 seasons.

So the Dodgers decided that they'd be better served to play an aging OFer at SS over Ryan Theriot.

The Cardinals, on the other hand, decided to trade the best defensive SS in the NL to make space for him.

Now we're surprised that a pitcher that lacks strikeout stuff is nibbling?

John Mozeliak and Tony LaRussa are absolutely ****ing incompetent.

Put down that crack pipe.

We are not the Pirates and Royals. Maybe you should just take a break from the Cardinals this year?
