The St. Louis Cardinals have lost a lot with the potential retirement of right-handed ace Chris Carpenter.

They lost a post-season wonder that has helped take them to glory.

They lost a veteran that could be counted on to do what it took to play if it could be done.

They lost a valuable face of the franchise. Most importantly they lost a leader that led by example.

Chris Carpenter the man means more to the Cardinals than Chris Carpenter the player.

Right handed pitcher Chris Carpenter may be headed for retirement. Carpenter experienced numbness and bruising in his right shoulder and hard after throwing off a mound.

Chris Carpenter Is No Hall of Famer, But Pitcher Has Defied Odds to Carve Out Heck of a Career

Via NESN.com  |  February 06, 2013
Chris Carpenter will be remembered for two reasons that fall on complete opposite ends of the baseball spectrum and that rarely go hand in hand: success and injuries. But while the latter prohibited Carpenter from carving out a resume worthy of Cooperstown, the pitcher should take solace in what he did accomplish, because it’s far greater than even some Hall of Fame careers. Whenever...

In Honor of Chris Carpenter’s Presumptive Retirement

Chris Carpenter is done. Finuto. That arm is about as sturdy as a hang-nail right now. The Cardinals held a press conference today to address the Canadian pitcher’s future in baseball, and what came out of it was that he’s suffering from zingers and numbness in the shoulders and neck. That’s a real shame. I don’t mean to be a dick, but I’m not going to miss the guy. He’s...

Chris Carpenter is unlikely to pitch for the St. Louis Cardinals this season and his career may be over because of a nerve injury that kept him out most of last year.

Forced Out: Chris Carpenter the latest to have injuries derail career

Via MLB Injury News  |  February 06, 2013
There are really only two ways to go out in sports.  That's one of the biggest differences between normal jobs and the jobs of professional athletes.  In professional athletics, a player can finish his career on top of the world, in the middle of the pack, or at the bottom, but if that player chose the time to call it quits and wasn't forced, he's generally happy.  The...

Ace may not battle back this time

Via Fox Sports  |  February 05, 2013
Off the field, Chris Carpenter was polite, soft-spoken, a friendly guy with a warm smile. On the field, he was fierce, vociferous, an intimidator who snarled and scowled. It was as if Carpenter was a chippy hockey player on the mound -- no surprise, considering that he was an All-State defenseman at Trinity (NH) High School. But that edge, you see, is what made him great. On Tuesday...

Cardinals Pitching Forced to Evolve Post-Carpenter

Via i70baseball  |  February 06, 2013
Without rushing to judgment or burying a guy too early, time to face facts:  the future in regards to competitive baseball is not looking too promising for Chris Carpenter. With a re-occurrence of the nerve injury that kept him sidelined for much of 2012, the future of the 37-year old pitcher looks to not contain much more active baseball. Some of the focus has inevitably shifted...

St. Louis Cardinals never got to fully enjoy Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright era

The St. Louis Cardinals have been blessed to have two of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball throughout the past seven years. Unfortunately, they rarely got to see that blessing in full effect.

Via STLSportsMinute  |  February 07, 2013
The St. Louis Cardinals are going to sorely miss Chris Carpenter in 2013 not only for his ability to shutdown the opposition with a darting fastball and a nasty hook, but also for his demeanor, presence and will to win.
