Izzy

After a long preamble of "harrumphs" and pompous pontificating from all members (me included) of a little five-some at lunch today, a colleague posed the rhetorical question to the group of how the Cardinals could put Izzy on the disabled list if he didn't really have a disability, wondering whether there wasn't some rule or something on that. My response was that he does have a disability: He can't pitch.

I almost fear to post on this one. I know I can't be considered a true baseball fan, however much I hope for a Cardinal win as long as I don't have to watch a whole game. But when it has come down to me sitting at the breakfast table, saying to Steve "They've got to get rid of Izzy!" then things have gone way, way too far.

He's got Ankiel's disease - they should make him an outfielder and watch the strikes fly in to third base.

Well, no one can say Izzy was not given a fair chance!
