Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 413

**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

At least Punto will get Garcia up this inning.

Frazod · 10-20-2011, 07:28 PM

Another double would be really nice here.....

Marcellus · 10-20-2011, 07:28 PM

2 out hit parade needed here.

Marcellus · 10-20-2011, 07:30 PM

****, what a play.

tk13 · 10-20-2011, 07:30 PM

Wow, that was sick.

Frazod · 10-20-2011, 07:33 PM

Damn, these guys are good. Big change after playing against those morons in Milwaukee.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-20-2011, 07:34 PM

That middle infield combo has ****ing killed us.

I think we may be starting to get to Lewis, though.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-20-2011, 07:35 PM

Goddammit. The Jews just ****ing kill us.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-20-2011, 07:36 PM

Awesome turn, Shredder. Theriot and Schumaker bail out to save themselves in that situation.

Chief Roundup · 10-20-2011, 07:37 PM

Hey hamas, I haven't been around for a while. Did things work out good for the wife and kids?

In short, pretty much. Thanks for asking, though.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-20-2011, 07:43 PM

Damn. Lewis has just nibbled and spotted his way to several brilliant innings. I still feel like we should have a few against him, though. Frustrating.

**BigRedChief** · 10-20-2011, 07:43 PM

Those 88-90 MPH fastballs are right down the middle of the plate and we are not centering the ball.

Marcellus · 10-20-2011, 07:44 PM

Shit. We get good pitching and can't hit.
