Forgetaboutit…..
There was a sentence written this week by one of the Cardinals beat writers that insinuates the Cards are interested in re-signing Isringhausen. WHAT?
Please don’t tell me that TLR is just wanting to get him his 300th save in a Bird on the Bat uniform. That doesn’t set well with me.
Let Izzy get things straightened out somewhere else. Some argue if it is cheap enough than it is ok. NO IT IS NOT!!! He continually for the last 2-3 years blew saves for us. Let the youth of the team have this job.
I will always be a Cardinals fan and things like this will not change my allegiance, they just make me sick to my stomach.
JUST SAY NO!!!!!!
Izzy

You may be right, because as much as it pains me to admit, Izzy was a liability this season. I refuse to give up on him though. Maybe because he was so good when he was healthy, maybe because he’s a local boy, or maybe because I’m just a sucker for a pretty face, I want to see Izzy retire as a Cardinal even if that means costing us a few games in the meantime. Is that wrong?
Yes, it is probably wrong. Why the sentiment? This is a game they play to win, not for bleeding hearts. If he loses us games, we need to rid ourselves of him.
I don’t know.
Maybe my loyalties are misplaced like you say. Part of me was hoping he’d decide to retire when the news of his latest injury came out, because then I could have my cake and eat it too.
Maybe I was hoping he’d get healthy. Maybe I’d rather think of the club as a family than strictly “a business”.
I wish I had a more convincing argument for you. (Maybe I’m just argumentative.)
Maybe they could hire him as a coach…
Good blog, though!
