Josh Kinney FAIL, Brendan Ryan FAIL, Brad Thompson FAIL

Despite the injury to Carpenter the Cardinals were in a position to win Tuesday night's baseball game. Josh Kinney had other plans. Cardinals 4, Diamondbacks 6.

Then the Cardinals stormed back with four singles and a walk with one out in the 9th. Tie game. The bases were loaded with just 1 out. Brendan Ryan just needs to put a ball in play, get Skip home somehow, and this is a winner with a save. Brendan Ryan struck out swinging and Rick Ankiel followed. Nothing aggravates me or my friend Dave more than the inability to score a runner from 3rd with fewer than two outs. Dreadful.

Brad Thompson came in and squeaked out a stressful 9th. In the 10th Thompson wasn't so lucky. Drive home safely. Terrible.

I am not going to count on Carpenter for another inning this year. This guy is so brittle.
