Carpenter throws bullpen session - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter, sidelined since opening day by an elbow injury, threw a bullpen session Saturday in the latest step in his rehab.
"He had a good throw, he felt fine," manager Tony La Russa said. "The big key is tomorrow. We need to make sure he bounces back the way he's supposed to."

Sorry to hear this. R.I.P. Josh Hancock.

I just saw that Josh Hancock was killed in an automobile accident.

Wow, this really sucks. My heart goes out to the Cards fans.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

It was just a couple of years ago that another Cards player Darryl Kile died.

 

[hvwarrior58]

I remember that game. It was Joe Girardi(I think) that tearfully announced the game wouldn't be played and all the fans were booing and throwing stuff.

 

[tidwell]

Terrible news and a terrible day.

I was at that game. It was going to be my first game at Wrigley field. I had killer seats in foul territory in left field. What a weird turn of events that was.

I still haven't seen a game at Wrigley.

Dennis Dove has been called up from AAA-Memphis.

 

[tidwell]

Dove has an ERA of 3.00 through 12 innings/9 appearances for Memphis this season.

Wow, I was wondering where John Rodriguez was. He's in Memphis batting .188. :wacko:

Ryan Ludwick is playing great so far down there... Batting .348 with 7 HR and 29 RBI through 24 games. I wonder what their plans are for him?

Ankiel also has 7 HR and 25 RBI.

It was a terrible tragedy. It sucks.

Wonder why the hell neither of them has been given a shot? Maybe they could help the anemic offense.

If an outfielder is needed in a call-up, La Russa has said it would be Ludwick. I kind of wish they would send down Schumaker, cut Preston Wilson, and call up Ludwick and Ankiel... but that's just my opinion. I know Schumaker has had a couple good games, so I may be wrong about him.

 

[justingroves]

Preston Wilson the strikeout king.

 

[tclowers23]

Okay, I'm convinced that Kip Wells is trying to throw this game.

 

[justingroves]

This game hasn't went to well since the 6th

 

[tidwell]

It didn't go too well since Wells stepped on the field.

Christ that 2nd inning was special. Mench hits a slow roller toward third, Wells fielded it and proceeded to throw it in the general direction of a fan down the right field line. That big lug Mench then gets halfway to 3rd before Wells even throws a pitch to steal it. To top it off, he balked Mench home. Oye.

Yeah, Cards lose 7-1. Actually out-hit the Brewers for what that's worth; nothing.

10-14

 

[tclowers23]

Jeff Suppan and Jason Marquis are a combined 4-0 against the Cardinals this season. Good job Walt.

 

[tidwell]

During tonight's game, I found myself pondering how they've managed to win 10 games. :wacko:
