Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 124

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

I feel bad for Franklin, since he was told this news by Tony in the clubhouse before the game and is flying back home. I feel for his kids. Must've sucked to hear your dad get booed at home. That's part of the business.

At least the bullpen is better.

BS, he made millions of $'s playing a kids game in the dirt. His family should be set for life. None of us know him personally. It's not a reflection on him personally. He was a failure on the baseball field this year. Has nothing to do with him as a person and family man.

Well that is good news, even if it comes too late as most moves from this group do.

**chefsos** · 06-29-2011, 06:38 PM

Well, my internet was screwed for a couple hours and now I get the game on to find it 5-1 Cards. Again. Shit.

The young starting pitchers are nothing short of the hope of the franchise, and it's rather disheartening to see them all suck.

Well, tonight's not as bad, relatively, because I don't really give a **** what happens to Jackobaskets. But yeah, it seems like the same thing every night.

**chefsos** · 06-29-2011, 07:05 PM

But I guess we can tip the cap to the Cards. This is their thread, after all...

We may only be a game or two out of first place but we have serious problems. We were in a serious slump. The new guys that came off the DL and some other underperforming players are stepping up. How long that can be sustained?

Seems like you guys have too old of a lineup. Reynols, Valad, the semi-good cubs 1st basemen back 5 years ago. etc. Is it the manager? The front office not allowing the young guys to play? You don;t have young guys?

Very simple. In order:

1) Pitching
2) Pitching
3) Pitching
