Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 552

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

Well, I guess you will have watch how it plays out.

They were up 2 runs a bunch of times in game 6...How did that end up?

(sorry for the trolling comment there, but you threw a softball right down the middle)

HAHA

That's what I take issue with. The people that say the Rangers are done based on what happen yesterday (like BossChief). Total bullshit. It's a new day and a new game.

Another crazy game. Looks like they just picked up from last night.

tk13 · 10-28-2011, 06:33 PM

Historically speaking it'll be interesting to see how this compares to other game 6 collapses.

Most people probably don't know Boston actually jumped out to a lead in game 7 after the Buckner play. The Cubs had a lead in game 7 after the Bartman game. The Giants jumped out on top first after their game 6 collapse in 2002. But they all fell apart and lost in the end.

Frazod · 10-28-2011, 06:33 PM

Napoli just keeps on keeping on. Amazing.

As would I.

Well with the Napoli hit, it's slightly back in the Rangers' favor.

**BossChief** · 10-28-2011, 06:35 PM

That stretch in game 6 was the best baseball I've ever seen!

It may have brought me back to the game.

The Dodgers any good these days?

You need to check with L.A.Chieffan on that one.

That may be the best 4 innings of baseball ever played and it happened in the World series.

VonneMarie · 10-28-2011, 06:38 PM

4 pitch walk.

I hate to be the one breaking this to you, but.... they left Brooklyn.

Carp needs to settle down, quickly.
