QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 12:11 AM) So a closer must average 3Ks per or he does not meet your qualifications? The closer's job is to find a way to preserve the lead in the 9th inning. Jenks is struggling with that right now. No one was asking for him to be removed from the position after Monday's close call.

why is everyone saying it wasn't Jenks fault? He missed the location on that fastball to Granderson by a foot.

QUOTE (JoeCredeYes @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 12:09 AM) I almost lost my mind, I never been more pissed at AJ in my life. yep, it's the worst pitch selection of the year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 12:08 AM) Can someone tell me what exactly Jenks did wrong here? he blew another save. I don't care if there were broken bat hits, etc. Those even out over the course of the year.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 12:07 AM) f*** you Jenks. I'd boo him if I were at the game. Make sure you're there for the 7th inning instead of the 9th. No way he can stay in the closer role.

by the way Ozzie, when will you f***ing learn to not use Jenks for two innings?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 12:05 AM) Jenks' July numbers are atrocious. the worst thing is KW is going to completely overpay for Sherrill now.

how in the f*** do you not throw an 0-2 curveball? f*** that!

Wow, why is Konerko not guarding the line? I can't believe he threw an 0-2 fastball. I'm done with Jenks as the closer.

Remember when he used to own Granderson? NO FASTBALLS!

unreal...Jenks can't buy a break right now.

oh boy...never easy. Pods really has no idea how to play no doubles defense.

You really have to wonder if Leyland has our signs.

I assume requesting some insurance runs would just be a silly request?

CALL THE f***ING STRIKE!

He shouldn't even consider throwing Guillen a fastball

WOW! Jenks' needs to shut up his critics.

you can't let Cabrera beat you here.

Possibly strike 5

Dotel getting squeezed!!!!!!!

LOOGY!

our players have to stop pulling the damn ball on a hit-and-run

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 11:28 PM) I can't figure out how much value Getz really has in the market. I'm leaning toward not a lot. true, he might be more valuable to the Sox.

Holy cow, the sad thing is this is how he looked before the injury.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 11:25 PM) I think I say this same thing about the off-season every year right around this time, but it's going to be a very interesting one. Lots of money to play with, some prospects getting close to making the jump, and some players looking like they may be out of position. This could all change at the deadline, but it still should be interesting. I think Getz will be used as part of a trade during the offseason to open up second base.
