Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 545

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

She is from Oklahoma so she does not have much fandom for MLB to speak of (until I persuaded her). That said I think it has as much to do with my sister as anything as she for whatever reason likes him.

I think that the playoffs this year has mad her realize how anti-clutch he is though since she has remarked multiple times "Why is he swinging at THAT?!"

Good point. So, I guess you could say our highest paid player's primary contribution to the win was getting hurt so he could be pulled from the game and do no further damage.

Go Holliday.

Good luck tonight...I predict a 5 run cards win.

Hootie · 10-28-2011, 01:16 PM

How shitty does holiday have to feel? Lol

When puma came up last night (I was at work) I knew he'd get a hit...he's mega clutch...they should have pitched to albert!

KK says there is no way the Cards lose...hope that does not bite them in the ass.

I had thought once the rosters were set they couldn't be changed.

Holiday is injured, you can replace an injured player to keep your roster full.

This is not a great team but they have a lot of heart. Next year they have a chance to be great with Waino back and Albert resigned.

Lets not count that chicken or restart that debate until after tonight.

It doesn't appear like God's on the Cards side (or so says Josh Hamilton):

I would tell y’all something, but y’all wouldn’t believe me. The Lord told me it was going to happen before it happened. He said, ”You hadn’t hit a home run in a while. You’re about to right now.”

I wish I could go to the game tonight, but I'll rooting about 15 miles or so away from Busch.

He said in the same interview that God told him nothing about winning the series, just about hitting that dinger.

Man, are any of my fellow cards fans having trouble with high blood pressure? I sure am.
