Wainwright's Elbow

Post by Cole Burns »

[expletive]

BJ Rains' Twitter:

Adam Wainwright is flying back to St. Louis to be evaluated by team doctors. GM John Mozeliak is "not encouraged." Pain in elbow.

When asked if he felt the injury to Wainwright was significant, Mozeliak replied. "I do." ....Doesn't sound good at all.

Good thing they shut him down at the end of last season and ignored this until this year.

Weren't there rumblings about this during the offseason? Did he aggravate it further just now or something?

Yeah. Basically, torn ligament..don't worry about it though. They obviously should have worried about it.

His mechanics have been questioned before, it's not like people weren't expecting this at some point before his contract was up. Would have been nice if it had happened when he had a little bit stronger rotation behind him.

I guess Carp/Garcia/Westbrook/Lohse/omg-wtf-lol could pick up the slack and the Cards could still contend, but it's way more likely, imo, that Carp/Garcia/Westbrook aren't as good as they were last year.

We're going to need a lot of chemistry to make it through the season.

Well, that's the perfect cap to a really depressing couple of weeks for Cards fans.

unbelievable. 3rd day of camp. Is our season over, at least in terms of making the playoffs?
