Well considering I don't remember him being an asshole in Toronto, I would say no.


Being in St. Louis will make anyone an asshole douchebag.

I didn't think you lived in that part of Missouri.

Boom.

And yes, Chris Carpenter was a grade-A douchebag on numerous occasions, often when he was doing some of his finest work on the mound. Nothing wrong with being of the opinion that you don't care since he was doing great things for your team, but don't sound shocked when his retirement is met with this reaction.

Ironically enough the same could be said for Don Henley. 8)

He was a red-ass competitor. He liked his expletives, including yelling at guys who made errors behind him, as well as opposing batsmen. Maybe his intensity enabled him to come back multiple times... and everyone loves a comeback narrative. 29 was good for a breakdown every couple years... so there was plenty of that.

but when he was right, he was fun to watch as he didn't really have a dominating pitch, but didn't throw a single pitch straight.
