i firmly believe you do not boo your own players on your home turf. if you wanna curse his name quietly (my favorite option) that is one thing, but openly booing a guy, especially one who has done a shitload for this organization, just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

But it would huwt his feewings if he doesn't get 300!
Tough crap; he’s got an ERA damn near 6; let him get 300 with someone else.
oh, yes they would.
for the league minumum someone would definately pick him up and plop him in the minors and hope he figures it out. hell, i’d love to have him for the league minimum trying to figure stuff out in triple A, but making what he is making and losing games for the big club…no thanks.
doesn't it depend
on exactly what kind of move we make with him? i mean, there are different options and different scenarios that can play out…and it is probably all a moot point because i think Izzy will be here all year, albeit in a severely diminished role (like mop-up).

yeah, he has had nothing to do with the fact that we are in the hunt this year. sure, he has hurt us with his loyalty (which i honestly can’t fault him for too much) to some guys who probably shouldn’t be playing, but c’mon. that is a gross overreaction.
Even though I do not agree with alot of the moves that he makes, my comment was intended
to be somewhat comical in a pissed off way, I know you just dont fire a mgr for the players not being able to execute, but you just admitted that he is too loyal…thus doesnt it just drive you insane to know the moves seem to backfire most of the time when the guys truly are not executing

the guy has nothing, has proved he has nothing on several occasions, and he’s still used in key situations

He looked good
at the start of the inning. Got a couple pitches squared up on him. I think he’ll be a contributor by the end of the month.

We get it. Izzy’s not looking good out there. But to say “we lose” when the game is still tied, not to mention when it’s a home game, reeks of cynicism.
