Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 114

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

That's the reason the Cubs haven't won the series since 1908. Wait 'til next year Cubs. I think apart from the lousy ownership they always seem to have, Wrigley Field is a big minus for them. No other team plays anywhere near as many day games as the Cubs.

Scumbrano was shooting his mouth off after the game, too. Threw Marmol under the bus specifically and the whole team generally. Hopefully this will be the beginning of another douchy meltdown. God I hate that ****ing goon.

You're in 1st place with a cushy schedule and you just swept the Cubs. That's what you're hanging on to?

Hatred of the Cubs. You must not be a Cards fan.

Some of us don't forget where we're from, either.

I paid less for World Series tickets than what some of these seats are going for. Seriously, $150-200 per ticket to sit lower level infield?

Looks like I'll be sitting our by the foul poles.

Cubs fans are idiots. I re-watched the game from yesterday. After the home run a fat stupid Cubs fan got the ball and was all smiles because they were going to throw it back.

Every year I hear them bragging about how they beat the Cardinals more that season, but the Cardinals make the playoffs. In baseball you can't get up to beat just one team until playoff time. I'll take losing the season series to the Cubs with the Cardinals making the playoffs every year.

I tell you the experience of seeing your team win a World Series in person is worth thousands of $'s. To be able to share that with my son and paid face value...that was icing.

And I'm sure that you didn't let them forget what team you are a fan of today...

Yeah, I've heard that from a few of them, too. "We won the season series!" they say. To which I reply, "See if you can get that put on a t-shirt, loser."

No, I walked around the office with a broom for a bit. Got four dirty looks, three middle fingers and two **** yous.

Of course, the Sox fans thought it was funny as hell.

We drafted a 2B Kolten Wong out of Hawaii.
The video sounds a lot like a David Eckstein type. Anyone know more about this kid?

Supposedly, he had one of the better bats in the draft.
