Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 171

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

Going from Jake Westbrook to Jason Motte cannot be a comfortable experience.

4-3 in a 7 game homestand against 2 of the 4 worst teams in baseball.

What a pile of shit Moe and LaRussa have assembled.

Winning 2 out of 3 against a rival isn't so bad. It's Carp and Garcia losing to one of the worst teams in baseball that killed us.

But, we're so much better now. /Mo

Bullshit. It's games like this that make it obvious that this team will do no damage in the playoffs, if they are even lucky enough to win the division.

I won't be the least bit surprised if we're 4.5 or more out of 1st by Thursday.

This team should consider 1 of 3 in Milwaukee an absolute win.

They're simply nowhere near as good as the Brewers; not even close.

But don't worry - they're "all in" so clearly the rest of the league will lay down and die for them in honor of how much long-term damage the Cardinals did to themselves over the last 3 days.

Busch is falling apart.

We finally get to see Pujols vs. Grienke. Looks like Larussa is putting the best lineup on the field.

The Cardinals are 0-3 at Miller this season.

Furcal joined the club Sunday and made his debut that night as a pinch-hitter. Before the game Sunday, manager Tony La Russa said he saw Furcal as a "top of the order" hitter, and on Monday he followed through on the description. The switch-hitting shortstop will hit leadoff, the first batter to face Milwaukee's would-be ace Zack Greinke.

Here is the lineup for the Cardinals, with all members of the middle of the order present and accounted for:
1. Rafael Furcal, SS
2. Jon Jay, CF
3. Albert Pujols, 1B
4. Matt Holliday, LF
5. Lance Berkman, RF
6. David Freese, 3B
7. Skip Schumaker, 2B
8. Yadier Molina, C
9. Chris Carpenter, P

WTF is the deal with the back of Holliday's head?
