Injury update

Well the Post Dispatch had an encouraging article that you can read here. They talk about the chances of Carp maybe even going on a rehab assignment this week!!! Hang in there boys!!! This team has all the tools to win the Central if healthy...and as of right now that's a big if.

Meanwhile I guess Maroth looked good last night, I myself didn't get a chance to watch it but come on....one run on two hits to that offense!!! Where was OUR offense?!?! Getting 6 hits but only one run off of our castoff Jorge Sosa. Tonight is Oliver Perez...a lefty that gave us fits in game 7 last year. This is a guy that can shut any team down when he's on....or can get lit up when he's off....there isn't much in between. Meanwhile Wellemeyer comes in tonight with a few questions regarding the health of his wrist. At least we only used three pitchers last night...well basically two since Springer only faced Green. So oiur pen could get used up tonight. We need to string together some wins here before the all-star break.

Something on Buehrle now....the chatter around the league is that the Cards have offered Anthony Reyes and John Rodriguez, plus an unnamed minor-league prospect. Not sure what that unnamed minor-leaguer is....but as long as it's not Rasmus I might say do this. J-Rod won't see any playing time up here unless someone gets injured and he's playing pretty well down in AAA. Reyes....I'm on the verge of being done with him. He's got talent but can't put this together. Imagine how different the starting rotation could look even by seasons end if this were to go through...Carp, Mulder, Buehrle, Maroth and Wainwright. Total 180 from where we started the year (especially if Mulder is healthy and on)
