The best 1-2 in baseball...

wow:toast:
A rather routine — but still profound — sequence of events occurred at Busch Stadium this week: Chris Carpenter pitched and won a game, and three days later Adam Wainwright pitched and won a game. Because life and time tends to move so fast in our hectic culture, it can be difficult to lean back for a few moments and truly appreciate what we’re seeing in these co-aces. Let’s go to the numbers and ponder all of this:
* Since the start of last season, Wainwright is 25-10 with a 2.60 ERA. Among all MLB starters he ranks #1 in wins and #3 in ERA.
* Since the start of last season, Carpenter is 22-5 with a 2.38 ERA. Among all MLB starters, that puts him #3 in wins and #1 in ERA.
* Since the start of last season, Carpenter and Wainwright have combined for 551.2 innings, a 47-15 record, 62 quality starts (out of 80) and a 2.49 ERA.
* Since the start of last season, the Cardinals are 54-26 in games started by Carpenter and Wainwright. That’s a .675 winning percentage. That’s also preposterous.
* And against NL Central rivals, Carpenter and Wainwright are a combined 26-4 with a 2.21 ERA over the last two seasons.

Nice pitchers but let's see them dominate a playoff series first....
