Cardinals officials believe Adam Wainwright will likely need Tommy John surgery.

If he really is out for the year, then we're probably looking at all four of Cubs/Cards/Reds/Brewers as 82-84 win teams headed into the season. This is going to be madness.

Anything to even out the playing field, I'm all for it.

 

The bad news is David Kaplan was the first guy I saw to report it. "PLZ RETWEET AND CREDIT DAVID KAPLAN" is coming soon.

Wow. They're really counting on Carpenter putting up another 200+ inning season.

@buzzbissinger I feel for Tony La Russa. I feel more for Cardinal fans, best and most loyal in the country. This stuff should not be happening.

@buzzbissinger: God [expletive] dammit. I said I would be on for 15 minutes. Then 30. Then 45. Then stop at ten. Now ten [expletive] twenty one. Total douche juice

 

What a [expletive] spaz

 

@buzzbissinger: Based on Wainright news, Cardinals are dead. What a tragic [expletive] mess.

 

I hope this guy gets hit by a car

[sneakypower]

about damn time they lose a star pitcher too

 

(death doesn't count)

Jaime Garcia now under pressure not to have sophomore slump.

[SpongeWorthy]

those buzz tweets are hilarious

 

moar

Guess there's no last hurrah for Albert and Co.

Do Carpenters 2007 and 2008 seasons count?

How close is Shelby Miller to being ML ready?

He was dead those years.

Yeah, I don't know how much longer he's going to benefit from good health with his injury history. It could be a long year in St. Louis.

[SouthSideRyan]

I don't care about profanity, but this [expletive] can't go 1 tweet without dropping an f bomb. He sounds like a moron.

Quick Hendry get Mozeliack on the phone and trade the Cards Silva!

This made my day. :clapping:

Lance Lynn is the guy they'll probably put in the rotation.

[Cubswin11]

Not that it is nearly as significant, but they also just reported Punto is out 2-3 months to repair a sports hernia.

John Jay, Lance Lynn. Hmmm.

[shnsajax]

Wouldn't this just highlight why the Cards can't afford to pay Pujols? One significant injury and they are screwed with no payroll flexibility.

Buster Onley is reporting that the Cards will be in hot pursuit of Kevin Millwood. Bring on the pixie dust!
