Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 553

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

If not for that error Kinsler would be lining himself up to go down in infamy there.

Whew. Dodging bullets.

TLR is known for leaving Carpenter in way too long. He can't do that tonight.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-28-2011, 06:41 PM

They cannot afford to bring Carpenter out for another inning. He has less than nothing in the tank right now.

They need to get Lohse or Jackson up right now.

**BigRedChief** · 10-28-2011, 06:41 PM

maybe Duncan spotted something in Carp's mechanics? That was his best curve ball of the night.

Sadly, must agree with this. Looks like A.J. nailed it in the pregame show.

Not going to happen, though.

ummmm

when did I say that?

Both teams have a shitton of fight in them....I just think Stl will win it.

Sorry if my earlier post was a little fuzzy and that lead to it being misinterpreted.

Frazod · 10-28-2011, 06:45 PM

Sweet - Furcal finally gets a hit. C'mon Skip!

IDK about this one TLR

kstater · 10-28-2011, 06:47 PM

Watch TLR trot out a new pitcher in the 3rd.

WTF? Both of those pitchers could have major meltdowns.

Whether he gets the early hook or not, it would have been stupid to burn a pinch hitter without nobody on and two outs.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-28-2011, 06:48 PM

Had Jay not gotten two straight hits last night I'd understand starting Schumaker even with a lefty going. I don't really understand the move by La Russa to keep him in.

****ing Skip. Rat one who sucks the penis.
