Happy Birthday...You Suck

Born September 7th, 1972, this major league "closer" is determined to kill at least one geriatric Cardinals' fan a game. A proud graduate of Lewis & Clark Community College (Nickname...the Trailblazers) , Jason Isringhausen was born 34 years ago today in Brighton, Illinois. He has pummeled my fantasy team, and has Cardinals fans extremely worried anytime he enters a ballgame. I honestly think he might be as bad as Ryan Dempster. Cardinals fans should turn away now:

10 blown saves on the year
8 losses
A 1.46 WHIP (38 walks in 58 innings)

Interesting (and final) note, Jason's middle name is Derik. Nice spelling douchebag. Happy Birthday...You Suck

Update: Someone on the interweb REALLY likes Izzy...

Rob, in light of last night's no-hitter, something for you:

Anibal Sanchez
7-2, 2.89 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, .208 BAA, no-no

Hanley Ramirez
.283/.347/.459, 13HR, 49 RBI, 104 runs, 44 SB

VS.

Josh Beckett
14-10, 5.11 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, .246 BAA, 5 starts of 7 or more ER

Mike Lowell
.286/.340/.474, 17HR, 67 RBI, 66 runs, 2 SB

The kicker of course is that Beckett and Lowell make over $13M while Sanchez and Ramirez barely make $500K. I assume Theo had nothing to do with this deal? All Lucky Larry?

posts that make fun of spelling should really be run through the spellchecker themselves.

the hidden message in all this is that the american league is soooooo much better than the national. any pitcher that goes from the nl to the al in free agency should fire his agent.

Me fail english? That's unpossible.

i'm also enjoying the anglo media going all jimmy smits on the pronounciation of sanchez' first name. i've heard everything from ann-yee-ball to ahh-nee-ball to annie-ball to annie-bal.

I heard it as Annabelle this morning.

It's too bad the Marlins play and hour and half from Miami in what is already one of the 3 worst cities for pro sports (fanbase wise) in America, because they have the best scouting and player development people in baseball.

Why a small market club wouldn't hire one of their upper level farm guys to be your GM is beyond me. Of course, I'm also the guy who said two years ago (while watching him play A ball), "Reggie Abercrombie will never play in the bigs. I repeat NEVER." Turns out "never" meant two years.

Who needs proper grammar? Not this guy.

I used to know a really hot girl named Annabelle...and her stuff was easily nasty enough to rebuff all of my advances.
