Carpenter Returns for Cubs Series

Injury-prone Chris Carpenter will return to the Cardinals’ pitching rotation Wednesday against Chicago after straining his left rib cage.  

I’m excited and optimistic about Carpenter’s return; anyone who knows me knows that I’m pretty much obsessed with him.  I would go to games in 2005 and not get up the whole game because I wouldn’t want to miss either the Cards batting or Carp pitching. One time during batting practice I leaned over the dugout, yelled “Carpenter, I love you!” and he gave me a thumbs up! haha

After  three pitiful and embarrassing series against the Reds, Pirates and Brewers, I find myself on my knees praying as I type this that Carpenter will return to his 2005 pitching style.  And for the love of God Carpenter, my love, DONT swing the bat and get hurt again.  Just strike out looking.
