Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 483

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

What happened with the Allen Craig attempted stolen base in the 7th? They were saying that Pujols put on the hit and run on his own?

It was a ****ed up game by a dead team. Thats it. game over.

kcpasco · 10-24-2011, 10:03 PM

Oh well, gotta forget about it.
Let's win 2 at home.

KC_Connection · 10-24-2011, 10:03 PM

Let's review....he steals with Craig in front of Pujols in the 7th which results in a CS and a predictable IBB, he IBB's Cruz with his best RHP to almost ensure that the best hitter on the Rangers comes up with runners on, he leaves a LHP (Rzep) to face a lefty masher in Napoli and the predictable happens, then he attempts to steal with Craig in the 9th and jeopardizes the runner that gives the Cards the chance to tie it which ends in failure.

That was all in just 2.5 innings.

Either that or Craig missed a sign. Both are indefensible.

We deserved to lose that game, but to do the things that made us deserve to lose is just absolutely maddening.

Series over.

Remember 1985? We are up 3-2 going to KC after kicking their ass in STL?

We are going to have to play better, manage better etc. But it ain't over until its over. These guys have battled back from extinction for the last 2 months. Maybe, just maybe they have one last battle left in them.

He should have, no doubt. But if he hits a LD to Beltre or Young, you're still every bit as ****ed.

Poor execution is obviously shitty, but mental mistakes like sending the runner there when that runner's position if it isn't home means nothing, is beyond the pale.

LaRussa says that the bullpen coach misheard who he wanted to get up and ready

One of the worst excuses I've ever seen to go along with the worst managed game.

Then, again, switch Rzep with Furcal or Punto and have them IBB the batter, saving Lynn.

stonedstooge · 10-24-2011, 10:14 PM

He was awful nervous speaking. Is that dude ok?

NJChiefsFan · 10-24-2011, 10:15 PM

So many men LOB today. When that happens it basically gives the momentum to the other team after a while and always seems to promise that the other team will get the one clutch hit.

Your offense has been getting chances against them save for game 4. I understand you guys feel right now but from an outsider it isn't far-fetched at all that you win the series. You obviously don't have great SP for the next two games, but does Texas?

**BigRedChief** · 10-24-2011, 10:16 PM

Albert called the hit and run himself, twice.

Unforunately that dipshit is a Royals fan. And he is every bit of the dipshit as a Royals fan as he is as a troll on this thread.
