Every single starter on the Cardinals has had the tommy john surgery. No need to panic.

You let your future CY Young winner work through the final stages of rehabilitation. Payback a plenty will come back to us when we really need him in September/October.

9-3 now

You're right, but games in April are as important as September/October's. It would be nice if we didn't have to comeback from a 10-game deficit to make the playoffs again.

The reason the Cubs will never win is they build their season to beating the Cardinals. The Cardinals know its not just about games against one team.

9-5. Things are getting interesting.

Comeback.

This.

Highway robbery

What's with the gold on the jerseys? Have they done that before? That doesn't look good at all.

2007. We got blanked by the Mets on opening night and lost Carpenter for the rest of the year and 2008.

Dont think so. Purists will hate it.

It's an opening day thing after the win of a World Series.

They did it on opening day 2007 after the 2007 win. They are wearing them today and tommorrow when they are presented with their WC rings on the field.

Nice 5-1 smackdown to make up for yesterday. :thumb:

It was interesting listening to Larussa while the game was playing. He seemed a lot more pleasant now that the pressure is off.

Lynn has looked really good in his two starts, might be the silver lining to Carp's nerve troubles is we get a good long look at Lynn starting.
