Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 27

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

Kill shot is if Carp goes on the DL.

yep, or Pujols goes down. Thats it, fold up the tent and move on.

Millwood is the exact kind of guy Duncan has worked wonders on in the past. He'll be cheap. It's spring training, so no "real" games blown if he sucks. Seems to be a good fit for everyone.

This is well said, Reaper. As a baseball fan, I enjoy watching excellence, no matter the uniform.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 02-23-2011, 06:57 PM

I am sorry you guys have to feel like I do, and the fellow Royals fans on the board. It sucks when baseball is over before it begins. Hopefully a couple of guys will step up and make it a season for the Red Birds. I don't actively cheer for them like I do the Mariners, and Royals, but I've always liked them.

He is defintely a top 5 pitcher on anyones list. everyone always likes to see the best battle the best in their profession. It seemed that Pujols and Grienke never got to face each other. I guess I'll get a chance this year to see that match up.

If you still have it when I'm gainfully employed again and have things caught up, I absolutely would be. He was my hero growing up, and the only guy (living, RIP DT) that still gives me goosebumps when I watch highlights of him.

Because if a pitcher doesnt win games when he's getting 1-2 runs in run support makes him a bad pitcher? I'm glad dumb dumbs like you dont vote for the Cy Young.

WTF?

This isn't just a kill shot, it's a decapitation. Our heads have been ripped off and the Gods of Baseball have taken a diarrhea shit down our throat stumps, while whipping us with our eviscerated entrails.

We could not be anymore ****ed.

Dude, it's way to early to tell how 2011 will play out. I'm not saying who ever the new starter is will replace Waino, but if the starter has a season like Nunez did in '05(except he would be pitching and not hitting), the Cards would have a shot.

This. Come On man the most talented team doesn't win the ws every year. Murders row of pitching? How'd that turn out for Philly last year? We won it in 2006 with less talent than this team. It's not hopeless yet.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 02-23-2011, 11:13 PM

I'd be stunned if we finished higher than third in the division. Stunned.
