Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 565

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

Carp should stay in. You guys are running the risk of LaRussa tinkering around like a madman for three innings here.

His tinkering worked in the first two series. If done right, it's better that a flat Carpenter.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-28-2011, 08:23 PM

****, Tony. Go to Dotel now.

KC_Connection · 10-28-2011, 08:24 PM

Pull Rhodes mid count, he sucks.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-28-2011, 08:25 PM

Good work, Arthur. Now get Dotel the **** in there.

Frazod · 10-28-2011, 08:25 PM

Here we go on the pitcher-go-round. WHEEEEEEEEEEE

It's gonna go Dotel to Kinsler and Andrus, Scrabble v. Hamilton.

I really, really hope we can get out of this inning w/o any damage, because I don't trust Motte against the meat of the Rangers' order again.

NJChiefsFan · 10-28-2011, 08:29 PM

Haha how many people even know or remember that the Mets were down 3 in game 7 of the 86' WS. Everybody just remembers game 6.

KC_Connection · 10-28-2011, 08:29 PM

If Dotel and Rzep do the job and hold the lead (assuming the Cards don't blow it after they leave), it will have been worth giving up Rasmus. Crazy to think about that.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-28-2011, 08:30 PM

**** YES, DOTEL!!

Frazod · 10-28-2011, 08:30 PM

Nice.

Or that douchebag Kerry Wood hit a HR in Game 7 against the Marlins and had an early lead.

I posted it earlier in the thread. Most people don't remember that. They don't remember the Cubs lead the game 7 after the Bartman game, etc. Same thing so far tonight. Texas jumped out on top and the Cards came back.

Does Joe Buck read CP?

Dotel laughs at RHBs attempts to hit his FB.

I ****ing love you, Dotel. I ****ing love you.
