Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 412

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

Berkmang!!

That was an error all the way. Tough play but an error.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-20-2011, 07:11 PM

He should have murdered that 1-2 slider.

Marcellus · 10-20-2011, 07:12 PM

Not a Cards game without a GIDP.

It was a thing of beauty, though.

Dammit.

**chefsos** · 10-20-2011, 07:17 PM

That was a nasty little pitch.

Marcellus · 10-20-2011, 07:17 PM

That was a SO, bat in the seats and all.

**BigRedChief** · 10-20-2011, 07:18 PM

We just need one more inning from Garcia. Lynn can pitch the 6th and 7th.

Hootie · 10-20-2011, 07:19 PM

Its too bad you cardinals fans already wrote off Jaime Garcia!!!! He's pretty good lol...

Marcellus · 10-20-2011, 07:19 PM

If Garcia makes it through 6 that's a huge win. We should be lighting up the ****ing Texans right now.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-20-2011, 07:20 PM

Great pitching there.

Ride him while he's hot and get him out at the first sign of trouble.

It's not that he doesn't have talent. He melts down quick. Just like tonight. He's pitching a one hitter and the next inning will give up 4 runs. He needs to work out how to mentally come back after getting in trouble and he will be an all star.

Thats exactly how Clayton Kershaw was his first few years. Last year he ha a good year got better and this year, well, he should win Cy Young.
