The St. Louis Cardinals are your 2011 World Series Champions

I loved the 2006 Cardinals, but they didn't make any sense at all; I loved the 2004 and 2005 teams, but they must have made a little too much sense.
The 2011 St. Louis Cardinals won a World Series game in which Albert Pujols hit three home runs and looked invincible; they won a World Series game in which five members of the bullpen combined to carry them through three scoreless innings; they won a World Series game in which Chris Carpenter came out on a rainout's inadvertent rest, his fastball an unpleasant rumor, and threw breaking balls until he couldn't throw breaking balls anymore.
They won a World Series game in which all that kept them from elimination was a strike each for a broken-down first baseman from a rival team and a guy who's had three ankle surgeries performed on two ankles.
This team was everything 16 years of Tony La Russa Cardinals teams have been in two months—immensely talented and frustrating, overachieving and frustrating, deeply lucky and frustrating, and impossible, frustratingly impossible, to stop watching, no matter how brutal things looked. It was as much Allen Craig as it was Albert Pujols, as much the bullpen phone as it was Marc Rzepczynski and Octavio Dotel showing up at the perfect moment, as much David Freese getting a second chance after that E5 as it was David Freese doing something about it.
It was a lot of fun to watch, and now it will be a lot of fun to remember. I'm excited to start remembering it.

I LOVE THIS MEME BECAUSE IT WORKED
Here’s to the crazy ones. The rebels. The troublemakers. The ones who see things differently. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

like danup said
By this method, Game 6 will involve Albert Pujols doing a thing and Game 7 will be won entirely with memes and relief pitchers.
the cardinals won the game with MEMES!

I will never forget
the sound of when Freese hit that ball in the 9th. We couldn’t see what happened to Cruz from where we were standing but I will remember Pujols and Berkman nearly running into each other down the third base line and Freese just kept running. I thought we had won the game at that point and when I found out we hadn’t I didn’t care.

2. The Mississippi river is wide, but it’s fun to walk across the Eads bridge in the lights of the city.
3. Hardees downtown is worthless during game 7.
4. They let you in during the 9th inning.
5. That includes the Redbird club, where I watched the majority of my games this year.
6. David F. Freese, ladies and gentlemen. IMO no one on this team really deserved the MVP more than him.

Immensely happy for the vets on this team who have never won a Championship until now…Berk, Furcal, Rhodes, Dotel, Holiday, even Theriot (guess he did pick the correct side of the rivalry), Lohse, Westbrook, Jackson, Punto, etc. So proud of the young guys playing their hearts out.
I actually think this is LaRussa’s last year (I think he retires), seems like he’d want to go out on top and on his terms.
Now I’m just exhausted, the last 2 days have been too emotional, I have nothing left. Going to wake up tomorrow and spend waaay too much money on Championship gear.
Thanks Cards and VEB for another awesome year.

Unfortunately, no.
Not in the area, but I lived in STL during the 06 WS. Was downtown after we won, and was hugging and high fiving so many people.

The game that changed the whole season was Berky vs. Pirates
in late August when he hit a 2-run homer to give us a 1-run lead in the 8th.
when did Tony go see Santana?
would've.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
Good point. Soooooooooo many different moments during the season both pos and neg
That I thought would define the season.
And so many games where if one thing goes wrong we're not in the playoffs.
What if Descalso doesn’t go on a game-winning RBI flurry early on? What if Berky doesn’t care this team through the first 2 months? What if Lohse and Jaime don’t serve the role as ace when Carp had a rocky start? Or what if Mark Hamilton doesn’t hit the greatest infield single to ever exist? Or if Colby doesn’t rob Studwick of that HR in San Diego? Or if U2 didn’t tear up the field and gift us a bunch of runs because Astros fielders kept falling down? And so many more moments. And that’s before the magic run.
And of course the magic remote worked too. Always stand up and threaten to turn the TV off when you get to the final strike. As soon as the final out is recorded, immediately turn the game off. It started with Stavinoha’s HR off Hoffman, and I’ve done it ever since. It only rewarded us with a Theriot 2-RBI single off Brian Wilson (which Franklin would give right back) and the Carlos Marmol implosion on the final weekend, but every game I do the magic remote and it finally rewarded us with Game 6 of the World Series.

I don’t see Josh wearing rec specs as he walks to the plate to the sound of Katy Perry as his walk-up music.
I was at this game, down the right field line.
When Berk came up, I told the people I was there with that he should hit the ball to Motte. Not sure who in the bullpen actually got the ball, but that’s close enough for me.

Also, my daughter was born at 11:50 pm that night, missing the awesome 9.10.11 birthday by 10 minutes!

He deserves a TON of credit!!

And I remember when we brought in Furcal, I was like, "Why?"
I love Descalso and have no doubt that he’d be okay in a starting role for the rest of the year, but Furcal was a huge part of this World Series and I don’t think we’d be able to do it without him. Up until we made this run I kept saying that Mozeliak doesn’t know baseball and that just throws money at big names and hopes for good things to happen. And I praised Billy Devaney of the Rams for knowing football and bringing players to get us to a playoff level. I guess I’m not a very good judge of GMs.

Hey Guys
I’m an Iowa Hawkeye fan. I found the blog through the SBN network. I bought the mlb@bat subscription for my pc, droid & ps3. I’ve watched about 150 games this year. The Saturday blackouts were watched at a Cubs bar in Omaha.
I went to the StL for the Cubs/Cards homestand, the last weekend in September. We flew in Friday night, bought tickets on Stubhub, went to the 5-1 loss, and watched Saturday’s game from my cousin’s house. Sunday came, we lined up for the last game at home during the regular season, and I realized our tickets were for Saturday’s game, and not Sunday’s game.
We watched Sunday’s game from Paddy O’s, and I realized, Friday night, we were there, & the Zombie cards lost. Saturday they won on the walk off wild pitch. Sunday they won because they were awesome. I paid for flights, tickets, and I get the hotel for free. I missed any chance of watching this team win live. Since I bought the MLB package, i’ve watched more baseball than what should be allowed. It’s been a great ride. I can’t thank VEB enough. I love this game!

My wife was shocked-shocked!-that CBS showed CSI reruns instead of putting first runs against WS game 7.
I told her the WS was the reason, and she said something like “I don’t believe that many people care about baseball.”
I had to show her a link to prove it. So yes, gdm, some of us can imagine what it’s like.
Also, Releasing Chris Carpenter would be a good name for a movie about transactions. It would sound like an arthouse flick, and that way you could con your significant other into seeing it. Surprise! The protagonist is Dave Duncan, and he spits a lot.

I had never heard of a Rangers fan before, like, last year.
I wasn’t aware they were out there. I don’t mind the Tribe though. I don’t have a problem with most AL teams actually, although ironically, I don’t like AL baseball at all.
It always creates a dilemma for me, because I want to root for the NL, but most of the teams I hate are in the NL.

Ugh I hate watching games with a DH
I get so confused without a pitcher coming through the line-up and double switches and all the things I love about baseball.
I could never watch 162 games of that every year.
I was thinking they were just too busy with the Cowboys to care about the Rangers. Most cities seem to favor one sport over all others. Texas is definitely football country.

Apparently Carp’s daughter is afraid of Fredbird
Poor Ava Carpenter couldn’t clear the tears from her eyes. She is 6 years old. A streak of red coursed through her blonde hair. Most of the Cardinals ladies, even the littlest ones, dyed at least one lock of hair. Ava wore red boots, too, and as proud as she was of her daddy and as tough as she was trying to be for his sake, she couldn’t get past the gigantic Cardinals mascot causing her waking nightmares.
"She hates Fredbird," Alyson Carpenter said. "Instant terror."

There was some gnashing of teeth and cursing and such last night, but it is what it is. I’m particularly upset that the Reds were in it for a good while up to the break, but the Cards went all in and the Reds sat on their hands. So there’s a good bit of “that should be us!” going around.

Been a member for 2 years
First post on this site. I was there in 2006 (I was in 8th grade) Honestly this run has been so much better than that one. I go school in KC and i was watching the last 2 games in my friends dorm and this has been the greatest baseball run I have ever seen. Maybe its because I was watching surrounded by so many cardinals fans every game, but I can guarantee you i will tell my children about this year someday. /rant
It was awesome.
Just got home from St Louis. Spent the morning at the team store buying world series champ t-shirts and sweatshirts. I had already paid before last nights euphoria started to fade a little. Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas. Worth every penny or should I say dollar.
