Carpenter gave the Cardinals exactly what they needed tonight. A huge start going into the day a off - after a long rain delay. The Bullpen got a rest. Thank goodness for Carpenter.

In other news, it sure looks like Jim Edmonds is back doesn't it? If that's the case, perhaps Walt should should ditch the search for a new outfield bat, and pick up a big time starter. Or maybe not. I waver on this daily, to the point where i have no clue what the cardinals should do, except that they should never give Jason Marquis another start again.
