Why don't you trying pitching in a real game (majors or minors) for the first time in over a month and see if you can do any better then 5 shutout innings on 67 pitches against one of the top 2-3 offenses in the NL. You can probably count on 1 hand, missing a finger or 2, the number of other pitchers that could pull that off. I'd say he exceeded expectations for his first start off the DL. I mean seriously, what more could you possibly ask for in that situation?

Father Carpenter, I'm sorry I offended you if I didn't gloriously praise your son. He is quite talented, and I was glad that the Cards won last night without your son reinjuring himself. Regarding your last comment, I do feel it is worth pointing out that the Cubs were shut out by Joel Piniero not one night before on 92 pitches! They didn't even draw a walk!!!
Please give Mrs. Carpenter my best. Hopefully, this won't create an awkward situation at Thanksgiving this year.
