Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 178

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

Awesome.

Holliday is turning into a giant vagina. Ridiculous.

I was also thinking on my way home from work that I would like to see AP's #s against winning teams vs shit teams this year.

Like I said, this team is gutless.

Pasta Little Brioni · 08-10-2011, 05:07 PM

Time to put this team out to pasture. When the 30 million dollar man couldn't come through in the 9th, you just knew it was over.

Small sample size, (127 AB's) but AP's batting .228 with 3 HR and 16 RBI against winning teams.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 08-10-2011, 05:14 PM

.302 with 24 HR and 53 RBI against sub .500 teams.

Thanks. That looks about right.

Small sample size or not, that's pretty damn telling.

I don't care what he or anyone else says, his contract situation has played a roll in all this and I think it is his fault for the most part.

Craig is back.

Our season is saved.

Great start by Westbrook so far.

No shit. Division race on the line and come out like a ****ing turd.

Did I say this team was gutless yet? Oh yea, I did.

Rams Fan · 08-10-2011, 06:27 PM

America. **** yeah.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 08-10-2011, 08:20 PM

Yeah, the "human element' is really necessary for baseball. 15 ****ing seconds of replay fixes that bullshit.

Rams Fan · 08-10-2011, 08:27 PM

Done.

Seriously, I'm done with this team for the rest of the season. If they manage to go on a long streak and somehow make the playoffs, great. I just don't expect it nor do I feel like committing myself to watch them every night.

I'd rather watch the Astros every ****ing night with all their AA talent than watch this team with a manager who makes more piss poor in game managing decisions than not

Don't blame you.

I'm kicking myself for getting seats for all three games next weekend at Wrigley. And as it stands now, we'll miss Carp in the rotation.

D'oh.

I need to find a new Cardinals board. VivaElBirdos is the Warpaint Illustrated of Cards boards. There's no end to the excuses for players and LaRussa.

Still trying to figure out why Corey Patterson has become the CF fixture and started over Berkman tonight in a must win.

It's great that he has nice splits against Wolf, but if you really believe in him, why do you have him lay down a sac bunt in the first inning?
