how many games have we lost this year bec izzy can't get a save?
why does every time he come into a game ,it have to be a adventure?

why can't he get anyone out........1-2-3?

this team has enough problems right now without izzy adding one more to it.

i know...i am ranting

You call that ranting??

There are 19 first page threads about Izzy on CT right now.....

This is a tough loss.

With Pujols out we can't afford to blow leads.

I can not begin to explain how mad I am this evening...give up a HR with a 2 run lead fine, but walk people to make a HR a game winner...oh man am i mad...pitch it low in the zone and let them hit it. The Offense came through...so disapointing

I think its control....his stuff seems fine but if you look at all the big hits he's given up this season off the top of my head it starts with walks. Then he falls behind a batter or runs the count full and is forced to pipe a fastball. I still maintain you walk Griffey there and this isn't hindsight talking.

i think we are within our rights to start ranting about izzy and his performance this year...

I am frustrated with Izzy like everyone else, but what really chaps my A** is the fact that we cannot lose games like this with albert out of the lineup. We score 7 freakin runs and even get an insurance run to go to the ninth. The homerun isn't my concern. It is the walks. And though Rolen does make the error the other night, the cards aren't in the jam if izzy isn't out there walking people again. As a closer his walks per inning are ridiculous right now. He has been living that way all season, and tonight he got burned.

Agreed nwbearcat, gaining a game on houston and cin with albert out would have been sweet.

how do I feel about Izzy?

When he is on, I feel great
When he is off, I feel sick

It's time to think about some ch-ch-ch-changes. It really is.
