Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 364

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

Basically having Franklin and no l00gy that could get lefties out were the things that really stood in the beginning of the season.

We also had no Salas or Sanchez at the beginning of the year, either.

Tyler Greene, but for some reason TLR despises him.

Nice play Furcal, Hairston you dipshit.

The only guys in the bullpen that were in it the beginning that are still on the roster are Motte and Boggs.

The bullpen should be good, without Dotel, if Eduardo, Salas, and Lynn are in it.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-16-2011, 06:50 PM

Is it too damned much to ask for one competent start?

Frazod · 10-16-2011, 06:50 PM

Jackson is really starting to piss me off.

**alnorth** · 10-16-2011, 06:51 PM

That is one of the only times I'll support a player diving headfirst if he wants to. Elimination game, down three runs? OK, go for it.

If this shit keeps up, we may see one tomorrow night. I hope it doesn't come to that.

**DeezNutz** · 10-16-2011, 06:51 PM

Am I forgetting, or was the Cardinal bullpen not a ****ing disaster at the beginning of the season? Furthermore, interviewers were still joking with Motte about not being known as TLR's "closer," which generally means that you don't have one.

He's been great at Memphis, but bad in the bigs.

Pretty much just resign Punto and Furcal, get rid of Theriot and Skip can go(though, I think it would be okay if he's back, as long as he isn't getting a shit load of starts).

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-16-2011, 06:52 PM

Don't throw this one who sucks the penis a strike.

No shit. Get to the 7th one ****ing game and give up 3 or less would be nice.

NJChiefsFan · 10-16-2011, 06:52 PM

Can anyone explain to me why runners slide into first besides avoiding a tag? Is the concept of it slowing you down mean nothing? It really blows my mind.
