You Have GOT To Be Kidding
C70 At The Bat —
... For instance, it appears that Jason Isringhausen is done, at least with the Cardinals. To have been pitching with a torn muscle in his elbow had to be extremely painful. I understand wanting to go out there, but especially pitchers have to realize that often they are going to do more harm than good that way. When Scott Rolen was hurting, even if he wasn't doing much at the plate, he could make up for it in the field to a degree. Pitchers don't have that luxury. If they aren't on, the team loses. ...

... I'm quite sure that most of you have seen it by now, but Jason Isringhausen is almost assuredly done for the season, and could very well be done period. He has a torn flexor muscle in his right elbow, and apparently has been dealing with it for some time. I believe- though don't hold me to it- that this is the same muscle that Troy Percival tore up a few years ago and still hasn't ever actually had repaired, despite his return to pitching.
