Former Cardinals OF Fernando Tatís Is Good at MS Paint… No, Really
(www.insidestl.com)
Former Cardinals outfielder Fernando Tatís once famously hit 2 Grand Slams in one inning and set a Major Leage record with 8 RBI in one frame but that may not be his biggest feat. Lately it seems that Fernando has been lighting up the world of graphic design and his all original creations are truly a sight to behold and the world needs to stand up and take notice.

And since it's the Cardinals, whoever replaces Carpenter will be even better than he would have been. Which is dandy!
It is still amazing to me that Carpenter and Halladay combined for 243 innings of 7.48 ERA (68 ERA+) in the same rotation for the Blue Jays in 2000. And that team still finished above .500.
good luck to the player in his next endeavor
You could go with retro's explanation... if you're comfortable explaining what a ############ is....
As a Jay: 49-50 4.83 ERA 98 ERA+ over 870 2/3 IP
As a Cardinal: 95-44 3.07 ERA 133 ERA+ over 1348 2/3 IP with 3 top 3 Cy Young finishes but also 4 seasons with a combined total of 7 starts and 1 relief outing.
But to the cheap Jays owners (at that time) $91 million in St Louis over 11 years, $7.6 million in Toronto over 6 years.
In other news, Kelvim Escobar is trying to make a comeback...
If he'd have just finished his career the way Wells finished his, Carpenter would have wound up with the following stat-line:
242-152, 3.94 ERA in 3,581 innings, 51.5 WAR.
Not to pile on, but that doesn't even mention his 10-4, 3.00 ERA in 108 Postseason IPs.
Despite his regular, enthusiastic, and often embarrassing on-field antics, Carpenter was a ########### warrior. I doubt if I would enjoy drinking a beer with him, but I'll always respect the things he did on the field, and there's no one I'd rather see pitch a game 7. CCDGAFAPG7.
He'd be ######## awesome in a booth with Vince Coleman or Ozzie Smith. Pretty sure he'd throw Hawk Harrelson out the press box window by about the middle of the second week, though.
You make it sound that like that's a bad thing.
He sounds really enthusiastic about the prospect of ruining someone's drinking water.
Live the dream, I guess.
i was thinking he'd sit out '13 and try again in '14 if he was still under contract, but he's not. so, this could be it.
You could explain that he bought a farm in Texas....
