Jason Isringhausen To Have Tommy John Surgery; Season (career?) over

Jason Isringhausen knew something was wrong immediately after he threw what might be his last pitch. Results of an MRI confirmed the worst today as his right elbow "strain" became a torn UCL. He will undergo Tommy John surgery. It is not known when he will have the surgery, but his 2009 season is over. If he attempts another comeback, 2010 would also be questionable.

If it is the end of the road for Jason Isringhausen he will finish as a two time all-star. After starting his career as a starting pitcher for the Mets, The former member of "Generation K", found a niche as a closer for the Oakland A's. However, he really made a name for himself as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals. His best stretch came in a Cards uniform from 2002-2005. Over the four year period he averaged an ERA/FIP of 2.65/2.46 and 35 saves.  He currently owns a career record of 45-50 with a ERA/FIP of 3.60/3.88 and 293 saves.

Best of luck Izzy.

So this means Percival is going to come back after all, doesn't it.

Percival on 'Pros vs. Joes' might make that show watchable.

I forgot about that guy

What a headcase…and a great Devil Ray.

I don't know too much about it

But I believe that to do anything stress-related with his elbow, he’d need that repaired; so he’d probably get it regardless.

I didnt want him signed

I didnt want him promoted

I cringed every time he was warming up, I barfed every time he came in

I feel so bad for him, I hope he does come back for some team and pick up at least 7 saves

Rotation: 1. James Shields 2. Matt Garza 3. David Price 4. Jeff Niemann 5. Andy Sonnanstine...... Coming Soon: Wade Davis......Scott Kazmir?

Poor guy
Horwits said Isringhausen has "loved"" his time with the Rays and it “felt like home,” so when and if the two-time All Star is ready to pitch again, “Andrew (Friedman) will be the first person I call.”

Would you keep him around for the rest of the year?

Shit I mean I saw Percy in the dugout one game after he got DL’d

Rays Win!

Percival's situation is different. Percival got butthurt because the fans kept booing him.

Agent: Isringhausen plans to pitch again

Please no Percival

Abreu
Thayer
Nelson
Howell
Balfour
Cormier
Bradford

Please :)

I guess I can be persuaded on Choate….

If we're going to have a LOOGY, Choate's perfect. Frankly, though, I'd rather not have a loogy.

With the pen you’ve listed, it’s a complete waste. Both Nellie and Howell can get lefties out.

by Suttree on Jun 16, 2009 12:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Choate has been a stud who is decent against righties even so far

I’ll take him over Thayer. And I know we all want it but will we fake a injury to Wheeler?

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

DALE THAYER WILL ROB YOU OF YOUR MOUTH VIRGINITY IF YOU DARE SPEAK ILL OF HIM AGAIN.
