Isringhausen out as closer...

Well, after one day and a successful ninth inning conversion by Ryan Franklin, we can, I believe, say there is a pleasantness about the Cardinal clubhouse. Of course, the bullpen must be a little awkward in a situation where the entrenched closer (since 2002) is still there in the pen -- not hurt, not traded, not released -- but right there in th pen and on a "mental health" break. I'm really a little lost as to what that actually means, but at least we get to make this decision after blowing five saves and still being in first.
