Cardinals: Time to start worrying?

Here’s my take on the 0-3 start for El Birdos.

First, let me bitch once more about Walt Jocketty trading Dan Haren to the A’s. We can give you credit for getting Wainwright, Walt, but you have to take your well-deserved lumps, too.

Second, let’s wait and see Edmonds in the lineup. Then, the not-so-great but better-than-Preston-Wilson Juan Encarnacion.

Third, let’s hear more about what’s up with Carpenter’s elbow. If this shelves him for more than one start, it’s officially OK to start worrying.

Third, if he continues to improve, let’s stop platooning Chris Duncan and start playing him against some lefties.
