Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 215

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

First off, I gave up on them a month ago, wrote them off as gutless. It's posted in this thread. I was wrong. I am not a mindless homer.

I am not gloating, I am just enjoying the PO's. If you have an issue on being called out for wanting to bet everyone they will lose 90 games, that's a you issue. Don't post shit like that if you don't want it to come back to haunt you.

Go Cards.

I didn't say they would lose 90 games.

I did, however, say it was more likely that they'd lose 90 than they'd win 90 and that the former wouldn't surprise me.

I'm just completely flummoxed by it.

The team really exploded at the beginning of September, right around the time we picked up Furcal and gave Motte the closer job. Was it really that simple?

Like I said - there's just not a hell of a lot about this season that makes sense.

You should know all about vaginas - you see one every time you look in a mirror.

The Dodgers are a lot like the Royals - same colors, haven't won shit since the 80s. Of course, the Dodgers are a major market team with no excuses, except for the fact that THEY ****ING SUCK.

I wonder if the bankruptcy court will rent out the stadium for children's parties?

Suck shit, loser.

L.A. Chieffan · 09-29-2011, 09:55 AM

Run along, Nancy. The men are talking about playoff baseball.

veist · 09-29-2011, 05:03 PM

I'm still kind of in shock that TLR didn't manage to overmanage them out of the playoffs as hard as he tried. Kinda funny that we had the record for historic collapses broken twice on the same night.

Or a Cubs fan.

I never expected playoffs because of losing our ace at the beginning of the year. Some players really picked up for those who were lost. We found out a lot about some young players who seemed to be on the verge of the organization giving up on them. I still think Tyler Greene is our best option at short if he can keep his head screwed on. Everything they get from now on is bonus time. There is also still the 800 lb gorilla. Great night for baseball.

No gloating. Your not a bandwagon fan. You are most welcome to join us homers for some October fun.
