Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 542

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 think it goes one of two ways:

1) La Russa pulls him from the roster for Chambers, who we can use for outfield D and as a PR

2) La Russa pulls him for McClellan or Sanchez, because our bullpen, aside from Dotel and Zep, is damn-near shredded.

Holliday has a hurt pinky, he can't play anyway.

Must try to sleep now. Goodnight, everybody. Hopefully we'll finish it off tomorrow night.

He's our Vernon Wells. Maybe we can turn him in to Mike Napoli without then turning him in to Frank Francisco

No ****ing way TLR starts anyone but Carp. Nada chance. You dance with the one who brung ya.

Carp 4-6 innings
Scrabble 1 inning
Motte 1 inning
Dotel/Rhodes for inning and match ups,

Motte, Lynn, and Salas shouldn't be used for Game 7.

Basically, Scrabble/Rhodes/Dotel/Boggs are good for Game 7.

That's a bit of an overstatement (Vernon is a much worse hitter), but it certainly seems like Holliday always fails when the pressure's on. I don't know if there are any more idiots like Reagins out there.

Motte will pitch if he has to, I'm sure.

Salas and Lynn threw too many pitches. I don't trust Boggs in a game 7 under any circumstances.

Possibly, but they can have Dotel close out the 9th or Scrabble can if a lefty is up.
