Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 579

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

Yes. Did you not watch the Cardinals come from behind when it looked like they were dead about three times? Momentum didn't exist in that game, it didn't exist in this series.

Words not working. This just so amazing.

just like the Big Hurt has a ring from the Sox the year he basically didn't play...sucks to be like "yeah I have a ring!" when you really had nothing to do with it...

I wouldn't even admit it...

"yeah I have a ring because they traded me for some key pieces that actually did something to help them win once they got rid of me!!"

There is always the Scott Pollard approach.

I look at it this way - this team made the playoffs by ONE GAME. If he did anything to help us win so much as one game, he's a part of it.

I'd give one to everybody but that prick Franklin.

I just hope this motivates him as a Jay. If anything should, it would be the Cards winning a WS without him.

That's the highest of all possible highs for a fan and player. Absolutely amazing. You can't script this shit.

Greatest sports experience of my life.

Congrats dude! I have been riding you all series and your team rose to the occasion. Like I said I will take my crow BBQD.

MVP to the right guy this time (Thought it should've been Rolen in 06). Way to go Freese, and thanks Jim Edmonds for, you know, being traded for him.

Enjoy the vette!

Yeah...he netted them Octavio Dotel and Marc Rzepczynski + Edwin Jackson. He's the only reason the Cardinals got to the playoffs...

if they kept Colby instead of acquiring that pitching they were ****ed...

So perhaps you are right. Colby may have been one of their most important factors in winning the title this year.

This was a true team.

Can we get rid of Cassel first?

My wife just said that, that thing looks pretty badass.

Anyone think David Freese gets drunk/laid tonight?

Just like the 09 Yankees hat, you guys have a peanut on the back of your hat.

He should jump in that car and do doughnuts in the infield.
