Broken. Damaged beyond repair. Chris Carpenter is injured with tendon and nerve damage in his pitching arm, and at 38 years old is probabaly done. He was NAILS in the 2011 NLDS beating the mighty Phillies in game 5 on the road in front of the worst fans in the game (boobirds). Aside from Bob Gibson, he is the fiercest competative Cardinal ever. Winning a World Series takes a toll on your franchise. Here is proof positive collateral damage. As former RedBird Orlando "Baby Bull" Cepada used to exclaim:
BRAVO BRAVO, EL BIRDO!!!!
This Bud's for you, Thanks for the memories buddy!
Card's spent Ace

HEY! THE CARP MAN IS BACK! He was playing "long toss' with no pain like a month ago, then 2 days ago threw 75 pitches in the bullpen with no disconfort. What they are saying now is he will move into the role of closer since Jason Motte is out with the Tommy John surgery, or even better, our true # ! starter. Just completely unbelievable. [/img]
