Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 48

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

You can make fun of our past seasons all you want. You guys blow. I was obviously rooting for you.

You don't think we know how bad the Cards are playing? Why remind us?

I left in the 7th inning last week on Saturday when the Cards played the Padres, I almost left after the 5th. That's the first time in over 5 years or so that I have left that early.

I'm pissed at how the team is executing.

I don't think alot of people that follow the team closely would really be that surprised. Of course they'd be 4-3 if that POS Franklin hadn't blown 2 games.

It's just funny seeing a Padre fan talk smack.

I'm allowed to voice my opinion. I want you to beat the Giants but you guys blew it. Believe me when the Padres suck I talk about it over at GLB.

What's GLB?

Anyways, I'm just ****ing pissed. I didn't think the Cards would make the playoffs, but how they've executed in the first week or so makes me pissed.

Were you at Opening Day? Hell, there was a mass exodus then and that was before Franklin served up the Meatball in the 9th.

No, I wasn't there on Opening Day. But I could imagine why. Franklin shouldn't be anywhere near the 9th inning anymore, I want Eduardo Sanchez up.

Thought you were talking about the character in Eastbound and Down for a sec.

**BigRedChief** · 04-08-2011, 07:47 PM

WTF? We have a two out no one on rally and score two runs to take the lead on Opening day in San fran and we beat their closer.

Then Franklin throws a knuckleball with a runner on first. Let the pitch go wild and put him in scoring position? Then you throw it again? Damn, this is not the time to experiment. WTF were they thinking?

yeah I think he's going to be a keeper. Another player picked out of the MLB dumpster and fixed by Duncan. His fastball has a lot of late movement. That fastball on tc looks like its inside on a left hander and goes back over the plate for a strike.

LiL stumppy · 04-08-2011, 10:57 PM

the second knucleball was the wild one wasnt it.

Rams Fan · 04-08-2011, 11:02 PM

I could careless about Franklin throwing the wildpitch. Walking Posey because he threw the knuckleball is what pissed me off.
