August 15, 201016 yr We'll probably talk about it as long as the Cardinal fans will talk about BP in St. Louis, and I imagine that being a long time lol. At the end of the day, we just need football to really get going and there will be more to talk about lol. What if I'm a silver pot? lol I have not said anything about BP. I have dropped it and went on. Can't say the same about Red fans with Carp
August 15, 201016 yr How much fun would it be if they face off in Cincy in the playoffs and he is on the mound? He got beat by Zambrono today by the way
August 15, 201016 yr How much fun would it be if they face off in Cincy in the playoffs and he is on the mound? It would be great for baseball.

August 15, 201016 yr Author Also written by a Red's writer so you really don't know what all the questions were in the interview. Bleacherreport is a fan site. The quotes were from a St Louis interview... :sssh:
August 15, 201016 yr I have not said anything about BP. I have dropped it and went on. Can't say the same about Red fans with Carp You have and I applaud you for that, but partially because you can't win hating on BP with this crowd lol. But, the majority of St. Louis is still and will continue to talk about and hate BP. Just the way it is.

LOL I am in St. Louis and the only thing in the paper this morning was Carp saying he was responsible for the 2nd part of the brawl. Now, it may be different on discussion boards but I don't usually get on Cardinal discussion boards.

Now, it may be different on discussion boards but I don't usually get on Cardinal discussion boards. Well, I am partially assuming. I made great friends with a guy I worked with this past year who is the biggest Cards fan there is it seems and he was telling me it is brutal there for Phillips lol.
August 15, 201016 yr Author Again you can take whatever you want from an interview. If it is the whole interview and nothing left out then I am in the wrong. The question was about the fine. The answer was about Cueto. Not much gray area...

I made great friends with a guy I worked with this past year who is the biggest Cards fan there is it seems and he was telling me it is brutal there for Phillips lol. As it should be with what he said. And as it should be in Cincy with Carp if he keeps talking about it.
August 15, 201016 yr The question was about the fine. The answer was about Cueto. Not much gray area... I see that but you don't know what was asked before that. It could have been a question on the other fines and suspensions.
August 15, 201016 yr Author Not sure how I missed it. But sometime in the last year, there was a baseball-related Maury Povich Show. Remember, it was the one where a DNA test confirmed that Abner Doubleday is the father of Chris Carpenter. How else to explain Carpenter's vast knowledge of the game. He's not only the smartest player ever, but I am pretty sure you have to know a secret handshake just to say hello to him. Let's get this straight: Carpenter is a brilliant pitcher. He could have won the Cy Young Award last season. Probably would have, had teammate Adam Wainwright not split the vote. Carpenter, at 13-4 with a 2.95 ERA, could just as easily win this year, though Wainwright is the current favorite. His intensity ranks somewhere between the Ravens' Ray Lewis and the CIA's Jason Bourne. That is admirable. Who wouldn't want a teammate that takes his craft that seriously? The problem isn't the ERA, it's the IQ. He knows everything about everything. Dare I say it — he's become the next Curt Schilling. Last September, he accused the Rockies of having a different slope on the visitor's bullpen mound, creating an issue when the pitcher entered the game. The Rockies measured it the next day with the umpires watching, and that still didn't satisfy Carpenter and the Cardinals. As if Rockies groundskeeper Mark Razum threw on a miner's hat and broke out the shovel and the laser level the night before. Then, Carpenter went nuts at Houston's Carlos Lee this season. Not because Lee hit a home run. That would be logical. No, he got hot with Lee because the Astros' slugger had the audacity to scream in disgust when he popped up. Carpenter was insulted that Lee reacted in anger. He barked at Lee. Lee stared back incredulously. This is quite possibly the lamest incident of the season — telling a hitter how to act when he makes an out. Not when he gets a hit. When he gets an out. http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_15782562
