Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 445

**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

Actually he grew up a Cardinal fan. I don't think he like TLR, so anytime the Cardinals have success he has to taint it somehow.

This is like saying some of the Td's Brady threw in that record setting year happened when the Pats were up by 3 td's or the team they were playing sucked.

I mean come on.

All I know is that every article that I read by the guy has a Anti-Cardinal slant. That fact that he grew up a Cardinal fan just shows how much the sports writers can hold a grudge for some assumed slight or whatever reason not following unbiased journalism guidelines,

I think Frazod is sure of the fact that, if he were manager, the Cards would have won 125 games this year.

Dude, people are the same way with the Chiefs around here. Quit hating.

The Rangers have killed Jackson in the past. But its because he lets that fastball get up in the zone. If he can keep that fastball down we have a chance to get to their depleted bullpen...... the series is over. It will never leave Texas. No ****ing way Carp doesn't tale the mound and not bring home our 11th World Championship..

**Buck** · 10-23-2011, 08:49 AM

Was last night Game 3 or 4? Your sig is confusing me BRC.

BRC the thing I don't think your seeing in my situation is that these dumbasses that were "teasing me" were being constantly critical of my home team the Royals even though at that time they had recently been in a WS and had several great play-off runs against the Yankees and all when there was NO expanded play-offs.

Granted,KC hadn't won it all but to constantly criticize a good team showed the arrogance that "some" Cards fans have.Like I've said though I still go to college homecomings and the topic still comes up and I just

because no matter how much hardware and bling the cards can boast on they can't boast on the one that matters to me the most.

Seriously,even though I can't stand the Cards,I wish you and Tim good luck.

Start westbrook. Jackson is going to get bombed. Hes a horrible matchup in this park against this team.

Holy shit. Rangers batters have a .328 average against him.

Vs Westbrook, they have a .291 average.

Other than feasting on LaRussa's cock, I'm really not sure what you're trying to accomplish here, other than mitigating your Cubs butthurt in a pathetic attempt to hitch your tiny little wagon to the Cardinals' success.

*yawn*

It will take a Weaver like anomaly for one of them that is for sure.

Hootie · 10-23-2011, 10:11 AM

why was Skip Bayless so wrong?

Pujols had an AMAZING night...but under what pressure?

It's not even as impressive as Adrian Beltre earlier in the postseason when he had 3 bombs and the Rangers won 3-2...

it's certainly not Reggie Jackson-esque.

It was another Albert Pujols story to tell, no doubt...and fun for his fans...but really, he was hitting those 2nd and 3rd bombs in a game the Rangers just wanted to get over with.

It was like Derrick Blaylock running for those 4 TD's in the 2nd half years back...it was fun to watch, but it didn't really matter.
