"I'm just getting sick of embarrassing myself and letting my team down," Isringhausen said. "We should be five more wins in the win column in my mind, so we should be ahead in first place even more. But they can't keep sending me out there when I'm pitching the way I'm pitching.

Perez has more strike outs and a much lower ERA in about the same amount of innings as Izzy this year. Or even trying Kyle McClellan, as someone else suggested. No matter who Duncan and Larussa decide to put in the closer spot it will be an upgrade over Izzy.
Izzy is just through mentally, he might still have some good pitches left in him but now that all of this has gotten into his head its over with for him. We have all seen what happens when a closer loses h |
