Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 297

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

Nice to see that goggle-eyed **** hit a weak ground out. I was starting to think he wasn't capable of doing anything but hitting homers and doubles.

Tasty.

This team really just wants the pressure to be on them I swear. They've gotta dig a little hole for themselves just for motivation so they can get their --as Simmons would call it-- "eff you" attitude going.

This may have been mentioned earlier, but what was Molina doing after he got that check-swing hit for an RBI. Was he making "dry your eyes" motions, implying that the Brewers/fans are babies or was it an inside joke/celebration? Whatever it was, it was awesome.

O.city · 10-10-2011, 09:14 PM

Is Lohse starting game four i assume?

His Larussa impression is funny.

Wow if you just cut our blown saves in half we win the division.

O.city · 10-10-2011, 09:19 PM

God that ballpark is a bandbox. About as bad a Cincinatti.

Please.

Not guaranteeing we win the series or anything, but demoralizing? A little melodramatic don't you think?

Everything went right for you guys tonight, and everything went wrong for us. We sucked tonight, simple as that. Happens to every team. I don't expect it to negatively impact our play the rest of the series anymore than the egg you laid last night impacted yours.

I still think this series goes 7 games. Figured you guys would win one here and we'd win one there.

Nice game tonight guys. Enjoy it while you can.

O.city · 10-10-2011, 09:21 PM

We should be going back to STL with a 2-0 lead damn it.

Actually it's quite nice. I've been to Miller Park several times. It used to be a wonderful alternative for me to watch a Cards game locally, at least until the Brewers got good.

As recently as four years ago, I was able to get face value seats ten rows behind home plate.
