Carpenter named NL pitcher of the month

Chris Carpenter was named NL pitcher of the month for August.  In six starts, he went 5-0 with a 2.20 ERA.  In 45 innings, he walked just seven while striking out 37.  He allowed just 11 runs. (Photo by Bill Greenblatt, UPI)

On this week’s edition of my Pressbox Podcast , I make the argument that Carpenter should win the NL Cy Young Award over teammate Adam Wainwright and San Francisco’s Tim Lincecum.
