Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 484

**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

If you've read "Three Nights in August," you know LaRussa would lie in a second to protect a mistake by a player or coach. All this talk on ESPN that you have to trust what LaRussa said is bogus.

Hootie · 10-24-2011, 10:17 PM

Why is everyone calling for me? Lol

Im cheering for Texas...

And I don't give a shit about the overreacters on this site...larussa is a hall of fame, all time great manager...stop crying you vaginas

You lost to a superior team it appears...win your home games and you'll be a-ok

A Royals fan coming in here and posting Scoreboard? WTF?

Because your theory about TLR's infallibility was shot full of more holes than Sonny Corleone.

**BigRedChief** · 10-24-2011, 10:21 PM

They can't hear on the phone and TLR wanted Motte to face Napoli but they got the wrong person up? Then they got Lynn up instead of Motte again? Did I hear TLR's conference correct?

That is such ****ing bullshit.

If you wanted to do that, bring in Jackson to face the batter have him check at first after his warmup pitches, then remove him. Then do the same thing with Boggs or Westbrook. There are a million ways around that situation, and all of them lead to you still having more than enough time for a fully warmed up Motte to come in.

OMFG its true. Just saw TLR himself say it on eSPN. How can you not see they had the wrong person up and go out and stop the game and get the right person up?

You guys really shouldn't get caught up in anything that's said the next two days. They are going to run all kinds of interference to confuse people.

SI's Jon Heyman has tweeted in the last 15 min. that he has heard that Pujols called the hit and run on the Craig CS, and from someone else that the call came from the bench.

LaRussa also said to the media that Lynn wasn't available to pitch, Lynn told the media he felt fine.

Not available or wasn't ready? They're using all sorts of terms that could have different meanings.

TLR is the manager, these decisions are on him.

Hootie · 10-24-2011, 10:39 PM

Blah blah blah

The cards lost, go win two at home and stop crying about things not working out...

Get napoli out once in a while and you'd win another world series...

You might not have had to pitch to Napoli with runners on if you didn't intentionally walk Cruz. You also might not have had Napoli hit a game winning double if you brought a hard throwing righty in, not a lefty (the type of pitcher he destroys).

Hootie · 10-24-2011, 10:47 PM

You lost the game...of course it is on albert and larussa...I follow the thread I know how it works

KC_Connection · 10-24-2011, 10:47 PM

The reporters are coming out of the Cards dugouts saying WTF to the conflicting excuses.
