Izzy was NEVER a good closer......Tony always tended to place him in games where it was really not a true save situation.....which lead to his stats seeming like he was a good closer......whenever he was placed in the game during a REAL save situation, he put runners on the base and tended to blow the game.......Izzy SUCKS and I am glad he got hurt....cuase if it weren't for the injury, Tony would have NEVER used someone else........

 

Geez, my boys either look like a championchip team or a little league team. 5 errors already?! 3 by the pitching staff?!! Good news is I think I'll buy those game 7 tickets...

 

Game seven tickets?

I know I predicted Detroit in Four.

My new prediction is Detroit in Six.

 

The only tickets you will need is the tickets for your boys flight back home.....without a ring......

 

Silly delusional Cards fan...

 

Cards still have 2 games at home and my bet is cards finish it here at home. Tigers keep pitching like they did last night and they will loose it for sure for sure.

 

The pitching wasn't the issue last night. If not for errors and sloppy play it would have been a closer game. If we could hit the damn ball it would have been a tie game or a win.

 

That post made me think of Dandy Don Meredith. "if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, what a merry Christmas we all would have.

 

I'm thinking of Dandy Don too.

"Turn out the lights....
Game Six's a day game...
and game Seven...
we will not need..."

 

True I was glad to see Izzy get hurt. I am actually on the Fire La Russa bandwagon but hey this post season Tony has came through. The ONLY thing I think Tony needs to do is START WAINWRIGHT. Geez the kid is lights out! I think they need to start him game 5. Then Carp could possibly be good to go for game 6(rushing it) but game7 if thier is one. I just really like Adam. I think he will be a very nice 1-2 punch here in a few years with Carp and Wainwright. Plus if we decide to resign Mulder we could have 3 aces. This team could be in a rebuilding year next year. I mean you have ?? for pitching, ?? in CF,who knows if the press is making a bigger issue than it is with the Rolen deal. I'd like to see Carp, Wainwirght,Mulder,Suppan,and Naverson. I like this pitching line-up.
