St. Louis Cardinals catcher Jason LaRue is still experiencing debilitating symptoms from a concussion sustained during the Cardinals' brawl with the Cincinnati Reds in August and is retiring from baseball.

LaRue said after conferring with doctors, retirement was "a simple decision," according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Wainright returns to STL to have right elbow examined. Mo' describes prognosis as "not encouraging."

Reporsts suggest that Tommy John surgery is the most likely outcome....

What a devastating loss for the Cardinals. Hopefully Garcia doesnt suffer from the sophomore slump! Otherwise, they are going to really be hurting in their rotation.

Hold up AF.... you're not allowed to do that. You can not post a Cards topic without mentioning Albert Pujols' ongoing contract issues!

Seriously though, this would put a serious cramp on the Cards' chances in 2011. It might be the Reds' or Brewers' big opportunity to make it to the postseason.

Man, this is pretty devastating. I really enjoy watching Wainwright too. These last two years he has grown on me for sure. Great pitcher. Hope all goes well and hopefully he will recover from this.

You mean the Reds that made the postseason last year? <_<

If he is out for the season, I definitely don't see the Cards making it, baring a comeback from Ian Snell

Kevin Millwood should be getting a call from the Cards front office pretty soon!
