Jason Isringhausen sure knows how to ruin Friday night in St. Louis. For the third TGIF in a row, ONII (Oh No, It's Izzy) blew a save. He's been downright awful this year, posting a 7.47 ERA and 1-4 record in 15.2 innings of work. That's typically grounds for losing your closer's role, but not in the Gateway City. Tony La Russa's best options after the fantasy flub that is Isringhausen are Ryan Franklin (2 career saves), Russ Springer (8) and Randy Flores (4). No thank you. Izzy owns 292 career saves including 11 this year. It's his ship to right for right now, otherwise the STL bullpen likely becomes a gateway to opponents' victories. None of the pitchers listed but Isringhausen is even worth owning in fantasy play right now.

I have Franklin in a league that gives credit for holds, he's been quite good in that area this year.
We'll see how he is closing, now.
