Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 228

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

Craig with a triple!

WTF dude, you think they planned to let carp get 4 runs in 4 innings?

I wouldn't want Westbrook starting against Philly. He leaves way too many mistakes up in the zone for a groundball pitcher. Philly would eat him up.

Boggs should throw nothing but gas here.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-02-2011, 09:36 PM

There's the trifecta.

I hate that about baseball, dont even try to slide into the base, just take out the guys legs.

Rzep vs. Utley

and hopefully Motte for the 9th from there.

3-3.

A double-play ball to go 4-4 would sure be nice.

No doubt, I just don't like it.. I'm with Hamas, I'd fall with my elbow in his balls.

Hootie · 10-02-2011, 09:38 PM

I'm cheering for the Cardinals for my roommates (a diehard)...I have a bad feeling about Motte, though. I doubt his mental toughness, I really do. I know he had a great stretch this year but I don't know if he'll handle this atmosphere well.

Lol... He went right over the base. That was good, clean, old-fashioned baseball.

If there's no double play, who is the quinella?

Hootie · 10-02-2011, 09:39 PM

I think Eduardo Sanchez is your guy...I assume he's on the playoff roster, right?

Actually he went quite a bit outside the base. Watch the replay.

Hootie · 10-02-2011, 09:39 PM

as in...I'd trust that guy most in the 9th. His stuff is dirty.
