Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 66

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

Apparently KMOX was reporting that a plane may have been lifted into the air with people aboard. Another plane was pushed 20 yards off the gate. Now that would be scary.

I heard a similar report. Apparently the plane was on the runway awaiting clearance to take off for Chicago.

Apparently there are power lines down on both I-70 and 270 and traffic hasn't moved in two hours.

That would suck.

Looks like this is going to be much worse than the New Years Eve storm.

Unconfirmed report that an airliner was blown INTO Terminal C at Lambert.

4-1 Cards, bottom of 5th, BTW.

Tony deserves major props for the way he saved McCellan. Baker didn't and now we are deep into the Reds bullpen in the first game.

Confirmed by a passenger that this was the same plane - American flight 699 to Chicago lifted off the ground and spun away from the gate.

Runway apparently is covered in debris, equipment is overturned.

Officials concerned about possible collapse of Terminal C.

Where'd you read that from? I read that Terminal C had it's roof blown off, but I haven't seen anything mentioning a possible collapse.

How long do you think Lambert is going to be closed?

Both KMOV and KSDK reported it earlier.

Considering they've allowed the media a walk-through, it's no longer a concern.

I'm betting it's closed until at least Monday.

Jesus Christ, I didn't think Hannigan was ever gonna put a ****ing ball in play.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-22-2011, 11:18 PM

Hell yeah. Great pick play.

I don't remember any team doing that successfully so often

I feel a lot better with Boggs facing the top of the lineup in the 9th without seeing Franklin coming out of the pen.
