Where did you get your avatar tidwell?

Wells looked very strong today and it was good to see the bats finaly warm up!

 

[tidwell]

Our very own JonWard made it for me. JonWard rules.

The Cards' bats have been found.

Braden Looper (0-1, 4.50) vs. Ian Snell (0-0, 3.00) this afternoon as the Cards open a series with the Pirates.

Carpenter still feeling pain in his elbow. Boo.

Carpenter still feeling pain in his elbow. Boo.

Yeah, I think he's having an MRI today. Hopefully it doesn't require any surgery.

 

[tidwell]

Looper off to a smashing start today. Walks the leadoff hitter then balks him to second.

 

[tidwell]

...but he got out of it with no damage done. :rock2:

 

[tclowers23]

Looper's looking strong so far.

 

[tclowers23]

Rolen with his 6th RBI of the year.

 

[tidwell]

This was about the time in his last start that he started to hit the wall. He's only thrown 58 pitches so far, so hopefully he can get another two solid innings.

 

[tclowers23]

Gotta go to work... hope they hang on for the W.

 

[tidwell]

They did. :rock2:

Cards win 3-0.

Wilson with the pinch hit two run double in the 8th all but sealed the win.

Great start by Looper... only gave up 2 hits and 3 walks over 7 innings. Izzy even had a 1-2-3 9th for the save.

3-4

The 2005 National League Cy Young Award winner visited team physician Dr. George Paletta in St. Louis on Monday and underwent an MRI, which revealed moderate arthritis and a mild impingement in the elbow. However, Carpenter is not suffering from any serious ligament damage.

I guess that's encouraging?

 

[hatvol96]

I guess that's encouraging?

I can't imagine moderate arthritis being encouraging.

 

[justingroves]

I can't imagine moderate arthritis being encouraging.

Better than Tommy John surgery

 

[tidwell]

It was the lack of ligament damage I was ecstatic about. Hopefully a couple week's worth of rest will cure him.

Randy Keisler (NR) vs. Tom Gorzelanny (1-0, 3.60) tonight in tropical Pittsburgh.

 

[tclowers23]

Wow... Duncan has his work cut out for him this season. Carpenter and Mulder on the DL. Nice.

 

[tclowers23]

Should be an interesting game tonight.
