Chris Carpenter said Monday that he will "absolutely" be available out of the bullpen for a potential Game 7. It will be all hands on deck for both the Rangers and Cardinals if this wild Fall Classic goes to seven games. Kyle Lohse would likely start for St. Louis and Matt Harrison would likely take the mound in the first inning for Texas, but both managers would employ quick hooks. Carp has a 3.30 ERA in five starts this postseason.
