Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 414

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

They've got late sink on them. The dude is really on tonight, and the few times he's missed his spots (to Holliday and Freese in their 2nd ABs) we missed them.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-20-2011, 07:48 PM

That was a ****ing wicked yellow hammer.

Now to face the heart of the Texas order: 5-6-7.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-20-2011, 07:50 PM

Shit. Don't let this cascade. Be careful to Cruz.

kcpasco · 10-20-2011, 07:51 PM

Bullpen please. Garcia has been great but I think it's time for him to go.

Marcellus · 10-20-2011, 07:52 PM

At this point Garcia has been a win. We have to get some runs.

Frazod · 10-20-2011, 07:53 PM

Wow nice job Garcia.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-20-2011, 07:53 PM

I think you have to keep him in unless his spot comes up in the next inning.

**BigRedChief** · 10-20-2011, 07:53 PM

Holy shit Garcia didn't melt down. Way to go Jamie!

He does have several complete games at home and seems to be dealing.

Yadi hasn't had a big hit yet this postseason. We need it bad here.

Marcellus · 10-20-2011, 08:00 PM

Missing by a fraction every time.
