"It's just time for Tony [La Russa, manager], 'Dunc' [pitching coach Dave
Duncan] and 'Mo' [general manager John Mozeliak] to figure out what to
do,"
Isringhausen said. "Until I can get back on track or whatever the case
might
be, I'm sick of embarrassing myself and letting my team down."
"We should have five more wins in the win column, in my mind,"
Isringhausen
said. "We should be out in first place even more. They can't keep sending
me
out there when I'm pitching the way I'm pitching. I'm going to have to
figure out some kind of remedy. I'm sure that remedy will give me some
time
off from the role and get someone in there who can do a better job right
now."
They were surprising words from a pitcher who said his ailments had
nothing
to do with physical health
"Now, I don't have an explanation. I'm pitching like a second-grader," he
said.
"I'm sure we'll sleep on it tonight and I'll come in tomorrow and I'm sure
we'll have a meeting. You lead the league in saves and blown saves ...
it's
not a whole lot of fun, especially when you're letting 25 guys down day in
and day out."
