Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 122

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

Especially for opposing fans.

Sigh.

I'm gonna assume Cards fans travel well. Anyone know of people who are going to Baltimore? I'm reading that advance ticket sales are pretty good, for a weeknight series.

Reds fans showed up this weekend for their team's first visit since 1970, so I figure that Cards fans will be there for their first visit since...well, ever.

Should. Because of KMOX's radio signal reaching all the way to Colorado and north to the USA border with Canada and east to Tennessee before the advent of multiple games on TV weekly and cable. Everytime I see a game on the road they always show quite a few Cardinal fans in the stands.

I'm going to all 3 of the games in St. Petersburg this weekend. Since the Cardinals use to have their Spring training in St. Pete until the 80's. Im expecting a lot of Cardinal fans will be joining me.

Well we get Punto and Freese back in the lineup. It is good to have Freese back!!!

ShowtimeSBMVP · 06-28-2011, 04:46 PM

WTF is with the hard-on TLR has for Mark Hamilton?

I think I'd rather bat the pitcher.

And he doubles his RBI production for the year.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 06-28-2011, 05:39 PM

Good inning.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 06-28-2011, 05:45 PM

Shocking. Another double play ball botched.

Just like TLR planned it. Freese's first at bat after coming off the DL gets a single, Rasmus hits a bomb foul, then walks.Molina misses it a little and got under it for the 2nd out. The Punto, Theriot and Hamilton come through with the 2 out RBI hits.

Thats what we need to get out of this slump.

I think its showcasing for trade bait. As a part of some bigger deal. He has no value by himself.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 06-28-2011, 07:46 PM

Thanks for helping my fantasy team, Franklinhausen.

Have HR's from both Holliday and Hardy tonight, and a Slam from Beltran.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 06-28-2011, 07:51 PM

So, Franklin gets hit like Tina Turner once again.

What's this douche have to do to get released?
