Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 537

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 I was Freese I would have wanted to wear that same jersey tomorrow.

Now he's gonna come back and be the Freese who drops a pop up for 9 innings.

I don't think the Cards have announced a game 7 starter yet.

Hope those guys get some rest, they are going to need it. Should be an awesome game tomorrow night!

Carp will start or TLR is a complete moron. Cards will win and it won't be close.

This game should be a good example for everyone that momentum doesn't really matter in baseball. It switched repeatedly over the course of several half innings tonight. The Cards looked dead in the water many times.

5 years ago today the Cards won the WS.

Now this happens.

10/27 FTW

Game 3 was Pujols.
Game 6 was the comeback.

Carp will start for sure but anything can happen tomorrow.

**alnorth** · 10-27-2011, 10:52 PM

imagine the letdown if Texas comes out with an epic 13-zip beatdown tomorrow night. (please let that happen)

Dr. Johnny Fever · 10-27-2011, 10:52 PM

Berkman for MVP

Yeah I know it can... but I hate the Cardinals so they will win 12-2... and besides I'm going on a second date with hottie chick so I won't be watching anyway.

I agree with you for the most part... momentum in baseball is often as good as your starting pitcher that day.

But tonight was a stomach punch loss x 10 for the Rangers. I think the Rangers can come back from it, but you can't be surprised if they get run over tomorrow.

Rosenthal: What was going through your mind that AB in the 10th?

Berkman: Nuthin'.
