Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 112

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

When Pujols is hitting those out.... maybe he's turned a corner and back to being the old Pujols.

That worked out well...

Didn't say it was a good plan or that I agree with it.

It looked like the reliever mouthed "No f***ing way" as he left the mound in disbelief. That wasn't a pitch you expect to have hit out.

Some how, some way, now with the best record in the NL.

Just imagine if we had Wainwright. And didn't have Franklin.

I noticed that, too.

Screw it. Playoffs or bust, 2011 style.

We need some playoff avatars if they manage to clinch a spot in the postseason.

I'll go back to being critical when Westbrook's arm falls off(again).

In the meantime, I'll drink the kool aid.

We were wondering if the old Pujols would return when Holliday and Berkman returned to their normal production...I think the question was answered yesteday. In the last 12 games, he has five homers, two doubles, 12 RBIs and a .660 slugging percentage.

You have to admit that he is playing the young players more than ever before. Albeit, its by injury but not all of it can be blamed on injury. In the past he has went out and got veterans to fill holes instead of giving the youngsters a chance,

At the first of the season after losing Waino, I wasn't saying we would make the playoffs just that we wouldn't lose 90 games this year as so many predicting. I don't think you could realistically look at our roster and predict playoffs after losing Waino.
