Cards played bush league last night. 
Carpenter has earned his solid reputation over the years - esp in pressure games. But many games I've watched him pitch he seems to take 2-3 innings to get in the grove. And if the bats and defense aren't behind him those first innings, the game goes away fast.
I also think Matheny is making a mistake by rotating 1st base so often. That position is like catcher - you need a rock solid guy there that the team is used to.
OK, enough arm chair managing.
GO CARDINALS!!
