Viva El Birdos, a St. Louis Cardinals community

Article chronicling Chris Carpenter’s tremendous success in St. Louis, compared to his utter mediocrity in Toronto. Included is video displaying Carpenter’s recent interaction with fans in San Francisco and the very bizarre way in which he sign autographs.

Thanks a lot, edit button ... as seen on front page blog. Just sticking it into the tag. Best shape of his life! (Confession: I was capitalizing JAIME GARCIA for no reason. It turned out to be an excellent exclamation. Glad to see it's got a hold around here.)

Audio of the padawan Wainwright as he confirms that he is badass, and that Carpenter did sit him down and fix his mechanics. And oh, Dave Duncan helped his mental game. Props to Jo-El. Also has the AL Award (Zack Greinke). Yesterday: http://www.vivaelbirdos.com/2009/10/27/1103609/carpenter-wins-mlbpa-nl-comeback

Photostream by Mark Halski, who's behind that fantastic '08 jumbotron ad and the memorable Play Like a Cardinal commercial campaign. The photography is just stunning. Talk about hero shots. 2000 - 2010. List of subjects in the tags.

Doesn't prove the Dunc effect's existence, but doesn't disprove either. We as Cardinal fans all know Duncan could probably take Oil Can Boyd and turn him into a reasonable 4th starter.
