Happy B-day B-mac. Keep your head up man. You'll definitely be back.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 04:16 AM) Because of the veteran guys ahead of him, the pressure, etc. Realistically, Jenks probably won't be pitching for the sox in a playoff game. Think of the sox playing a road game, in Boston or Ana, with the crowd going crazy. I can't picture a 24 yr old rookie who's been a reliever for less than half a yr, throwing in such a situation. Now, could a guy like Jenks be used to acquire a Billy Wagner type impact reliever? I could see that. Well, assuming he's not traded, I can't see how he wouldn't pitch in pressure situations. Especially if he proves he's the real deal the next 3 months.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 04:07 AM) Could very well be. His future might be bright. But I have a hard time seeing Jenks pitching in a tight game in the playoffs with the sox this year. Why is that?

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 01:55 AM) Are we not getting a little carried away with jenks? I mean i loved what i saw but remember how people were talking about mccarthy? Anyone remember how that turned out? I would say the opposite of good. I think most of us are pretty grounded, Qwerty. But damn, when was the last time we had a guy that threw this hard? It's hard not to get a little excited.

QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 01:13 AM) Didn't Koch used to hit high 90s? Not with us. And please, don't ever mention that name again.

Another great find by Kenny and his staff. Tadahito has been all that and then some.

I think Jose will be alright. Honestly, other than i'd say 3 starts, he's been awesome. El Duque is who I would be worried about.

lol@anybody who voted the Sox. Guys, we're having an amazing season, but not one person on this planet had the Nationals doing anything close to what they've done so far. I'd say the 3 biggest surprises are the Nationals, Sox, Yankees. Yankees, of course, for sucking so bad.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) why do i never get to see the new pitchers throw, thats awesome from what you guys are saying, sounds like he might be with us for a while, we should send walker down or something and bring up gload already Sorry you missed him. He was really lights out, save the one walk.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) I expect him to give up runs. His whole mission this year is to throw that exploding fastball near the plate. If they hit it good for them, if they dont good for us. This kid has the most raw talent I have seen from a reliever. We have been suffering for years, trying to get a closer. We get one for a year, or maybe part of a season. It would be nice if this kid can become our future closer. Very well said.

This trade will really turn out to be good if Vizcaino starts pitching lights out. He's been much better of late.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) Would have been funny to see the reactions if he got bombed today. lol..True

I definitely feel a vibe. I'm thinking something big is on the horizon. Everything has gone so well this year. I hope it continues.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) 24 years old and throws upper 90s. We use this guy the right way this year and get his feet wet during a playoff run. He could be a real nasty shut down closer that we havent had since Thiggy. Thigpen didnt throw this hard. I am still shocked after seeing it. HOLY s*** THAT BOY CAN THROW BEE BEES. Maybe he can be our K-Rod?

I voted atleast 600 times. I also got a lot of my friends to vote a s***load.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) attitude? explain. Maybe attitude was the wrong word. I guess Maturity was what I was thinking. I've read that he's gotten in some trouble in the past. You could go to the futuresox forum to find out more.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) I like the idea! But I still think it will be gloads for the taking if we lose Konerko. You've gotta update your sig. We're 57-26

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 09:06 PM) whats' the knock on him? Control? Lotta walks? Control and his attitude.

Beating the teams we're supposed to beat. Why couldn't we do this under Jerry Manuel? Anyway, great all around game tonight. Jose rebounded with a very nice start. The offense was great. The pen came in and did the job. Just a great all around night. Oh yeah. 10 1/2 game lead in the central.

Assuming Jenks is the real deal "and I know it's a big assumption at the moment" how sick is our pen? Good lord!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) "Ozzie what'd you think about seeing Jenks" "Good Fastball"..."Did a tremendous job"..."I know he's not afraid, that's 1 thing I like, I like the attitude and the body language on the mound" I'm shocked. He didn't call him "kid"?

Jenks is SICK! I worry about his control. But when you can throw that damn hard, you can get away with a lot.

Are yall serious? Damn. I missed it.

Unbelievable. Congats to Pod's!
