Today we got wind that Chris Carpenter’s comeback was being postponed due to the recurring numbness in the righthander’s pitching hand returning. One of the toughest pitchers in baseball simply can’t outrun his own body’s breaking point. Carpenter has had every surgery known to a baseball player. He had a piece of his rib inserted into his shoulder and neck area to alleviate pain once. Chris Carpenter once parallel parked a train. I’m kidding. That’s a Dos Equis Most Interesting Man in the world joke. Anyway, Carpenter isn’t knocked out but he is on the canvas again while reality, his arm and the world is seemingly counting to 10 once again. Sorry I sound overly dramatic here but baseball is a romantic game played by men in shiny uniforms. I digress…
