After being expected to ride in on a white horse and save his team, the St. Louis Cardinals, Chris Carpenter found out that he would be doing anything but.
It was announced on Thursday that Carpenter, the Cardinals ace and former Cy Young winner would be missing the rest of the season and a hearty chunk of next year as well as he will be undergoing Tommy John surgery.
You can now officially blow the Cardinals extraordinarily thin playoff hopes out the window. Whatever shot they had will now rest squarely on the shoulders of Kip Wells’ and his 5.75 ERA (although it should be said that Wells went 8 and only allowed 2 hits in his last start).
Tony LaRussa is in some serious trouble and should start praying to whomever he prays to that Adam Wainwright and the rest of the thrown together starting staff can equal Caprenter’s production and the bullpen’s efficiency.
Good luck.
