Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 539

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'm torn between the evils of St. Loser having a team win anything and a team that goat cheese roots for winning.

I think I'm leaning (heavily) cardnulls at this point.

Really wish I was by my computer while I watched the game to live it with you guys.

Obviously one of the greatest games of all time. As a Yankee fan I view game 4 and 5 of 2001 as the ultimate epic games. Two straight games down 2 runs with 2 outs in the ninth. You did that as well, but in ONE game and it being an elimiation game.

I had goosebumps and its not even my team. Its and epic series not just because it is, well, an epic series. Its epic because people thought it would be. Unreal how it has lived up to it.

KC_Connection · 10-27-2011, 11:12 PM

That was the first walkoff HR in a game 6 or 7 since Joe Carter in 1993.
