Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 401

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 do like adding Westbrook to the WS roster. If Loshe or Jackson can't make it out of the 3rd inning in Texas hopefully he can thrown that ground ball successfully and maybe keep it in the ball park.

I think Mr. Fly ball here comes the fastball Jackson is going to get rocked by the fastball hitting Rangers.

Yup, Westbrook absolutely needed to be added to the roster and held in waiting for Jacksons start in Arlington.

You couldn't pick a worse spot for a guy like Jackson, IMO. That lineup in that park will very likely crush him quickly.

LaRussa needs to have him on a very short leash and will almost certainly end up going to Westbrook before all is said and done.

Given the fact that TLR was, rightly, loathe to use McClellan, there is no point to have that sumbitch on the roster. Westbrook makes sense. If Schumaker was taking someone's place, I'd wish that it would be Theriot's, as Chambers could be an invaluable resource as a pinch runner in a tight game.

Personally, I'd almost rather we have someone like Tony Cruz on the roster over Laird.

Kind of minor points in the great scheme of things.

It's obvious that Duncan and TLR also see that Jackson matches up against Texas in Arlington horribly. TLR has had a quick trigger in the playoffs so far. Hopefully, he continues his new found managerial style.

Westbrook makes me nervous, but I think this is a good move - well, not good, but they best shitty option available. His AL experience will hopefully be a plus.

You and me both. If he elevates his pitches he will get killed and fast. But assuming that TLR is only thinking of using Westbrook in texas and only if Loshe and or Jackson blow a gasket early and we are in trouble anyway.

Rangers nuked their Japanese relievers...

Rangers make adjustments to Series roster
