Matt Carpenter

slightly too old, slightly too lacking-in-power 3B at Palm Beach (I think), who has a good glove and good contact skills, and has moved through the org quickly after being drafted as a virtual pensioner last year. Reasonable chance of making the majors by 2012 as a Brian Barden-type at 3B if he can develop a bit more pop this year.

David Carpenter, nearly 25-year old closer who was at Quad Cities last year (and I think he’s still there last year), reasonable stuff, slightly iffy control, drafted in 2008, probably not really likely to amount to much given his age and level.

I think that’s it. Chicago have a very good starting pitching prospect called Christopher Carpenter, if you give a fuck.

maybe he doesn't talk to anyone when he's not hitting

he does share his seeds with Boog
but then, Boog talks to everyone. including people who don’t talk to him.

holliday’s dude in the dugout is penny, but… y’know. penny’s a rental candidate.

by stlcardinalsfang on Apr 30, 2010 12:10 AM EDT reply actions  

I don't believe you can, unless you make a custom one on the official site.

Some have said that a custom made jersey will not have the blue border around the white print like, say, a Pujols t-jersey does.

I have been after a Rasmus t-jersey for over a year. They did not have them for sale at Busch last year when I went. I refused to make a custom one on the website because of the reports about the border. Hopefully, I’ll be purchasing one tomorrow.

That is a simple, clean border.

The border on the t-shirt jerseys at the team store have an obnoxious border, I think. The white letters have fake stitching on them. I think it looks stupid.

The shirt on the left is my kid-sized El Hombre t-shirt. The shirt on the right is my husband’s Taguchi t-shirt. Because I want more t-shirt jerseys (Rasmus, Wainwright, Musial) I’m going to have to give in and get the ones with fake stitching. (shakes fist)

i don't know which mistake they made here

but this is from the mothership writeup on the matchups (about lohse):

He’s had great success at home as a Cardinal, and he’s pitched well against the Astros, so this should be a good matchup for the veteran right-hander. Lohse has a 2.95 ERA in 13 career appearances (12 starts) against Houston.

Huge Blazer fan here. I’m sad but I’ve accepted that this just isn’t Portland’s year.
That being said, Portland is the best basketball town imaginable. It’s like St. Louis is for baseball. Everyone’s into it, everyone loves the players, the city pretty much shuts down during games and every game is a sellout.

Now that we’re out I don’t know who to root for, other than Milwaukee.

That's not how it works.

He left the game with the Braves trailing, and they failed to tie or take the lead after that. Thus, he is the pitcher of record on the losing side regardless of how many runs his team scored.
