At least they are not bringing in walker. I am nervous every time he comes in.

That's one I think we all can agree with.

No-one would have saw that coming 2 months ago.

 

Patience isn't a virtue around these parts...

not practiced too often though

you know by now, they only show up when we're losing.

 

I don't take offense to much that is said on message boards, but that's total bulls***. I'm on gamethreads nearly every single night, win or lose. Even the most optimistic of posters will stick up for me on this point.

I think Farmer just said Jenks may be warming up...

After not winning a WS in 88yrs., I think patience tends to wear thin.

Shingo not looking good.

"Wouldnt' it be something if Podsednik got in the home run derby and won it" - Farmer

Jenks is up!

Jenks is up!

 

 

and the experiment begins

Shingo gives up a blooper, then gets squeezed.

Yup, Jenks is officially up...

 

I almost don't want him up with the strike zone from this up.

Shingo gets the 3rd out...and Jenks will be in during the 9th

OK I can Breath Again LOL

I agree with fathom. Frank is just too damn selfish.

 

Hell, I never said Frank can't hit homers. I made it clear that when I said I thought he was selfish because he's up there swinging for a homer every AB. When he connects, it's great and everyone is happy (rightfully so). Trust me, I was just as happy as anyone about last night's heroics.

Jenks WILL pitch the ninth.

 

This is a pretty interesting day in the world of the White Sox, huh.

Sweeeeeet, I thought Shingo was gonna ruin our chance to see Jenks by letting the game get too close. He got out of it, and it's almost time to see what we got in that kid. Wow, I'm really excited to see this.

I know this isn't probably the first thing that is of concern, but if Jenks was to come up and show great stuff/ability....he could be a very valuable trading piece. A lot of teams would be interested in a potential closer like Jenks. Lets just hope he does good. It's been a long path for him.

BOBBY!!!!

 

Bring him in!!!

 

He's up and ready, he'll be pitching the ninth.

 

Hopefully the first inning of a long and memorable career!

 

My face hurts from smiling so much tonight...this Jenks getting in thing is almost too much to handle.

My guess for jenks is two walk, a single, and one earned run.

I think we'd be trading Vizcaino or something and replacing him with Jenks if he succeeds.

I don't really think jenks is apart of the white sox plans this year. He could be but it just doesn't make sense to me.

To upgrade where? I think we all (myself included) have to start to realize that it's pretty unlikely that Williams will upgrade at a position player's spot. Even Crede's hotcorner -- they love his defense, and think his bat is servicable.

 

The spot where I bet we'll see a move made is at the relief spot -- and if Jenks comes up and shows he can do a decent job, then that takes a lot of pressure off of KW for making a move.

When you have a 24 year old who can throw in the triple didgets...unless there's something seriously wrong with him you don't dare trade him. Never. Hell no.

i think he has a very short leash
