Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 504

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

Weird move by Washington. I think you have to PH there

Rudy tossed tigger's salad · 10-27-2011, 07:54 PM

Some pressure on Lewis to pitch well

**BigRedChief** · 10-27-2011, 07:55 PM

Damn thank you Wash

Much stupider move than phonegate.

KC_Connection · 10-27-2011, 07:55 PM

There is something really wrong with these managers. Colby Lewis hasn't even pitched well in this game.

KC_Connection · 10-27-2011, 07:57 PM

I mean, that was some ****ing stupid shit. How can you let the pitcher hit there?

Frazod · 10-27-2011, 07:57 PM

Furcal's got to hit something eventually.

Washington is gonna go to the pen sooner than later. Why keep him in in one run game?

Marcellus · 10-27-2011, 08:00 PM

Shit all we have to do is play some defense and pick a few runs. Come on Cards!

I don't understand why we have to hold onto this notion of a player being clutch or unclutch. Clutch performances, not clutch players. We went through the data on this. I think we simply approach the inquiry with different definitions of clutch.

No ****ing way he should be allowed to get away with that crap. And Jay finally hits a ball hard and right at somebody. Shu hits it hard too.

kstater · 10-27-2011, 08:12 PM

Cry like a bitch.

KC_Connection · 10-27-2011, 08:12 PM

Now that's bad umpiring. You've got to call the pitch the same way.

Brianfo · 10-27-2011, 08:12 PM

And Pujols leaves the bat on his shoulder. Lol.

Marcellus · 10-27-2011, 08:12 PM

Same ****ing pitch. JFC
