April 26, 200619 yr Now for some entertainment. I thought we might like to take a trip down memory lane to Jenks' first appearance. The guy practically had us blabbering incoherently, lol. Among many other priceless quotes from GAME THREAD 7-6-2005 SOX vs FISH, FILLET THE FISH!!!!!!!!: GAS!!!! We have our first GAS for Bobby Jenks at a shoulder-high 99 MPH heater. That first pitch to Jonny Gomes was something nasty... woah... faster than fast!!! jenks! HE GONE!!!! GAS!!!! WELCOME TO THE SOUTHSIDE ROOK!!!!!!!! ...damn I love this kid. I wonder how it feels to catch something that fast.lol! holy bleep 2k's.... Man... that kid has an canon... OMG that was beautiful. I'm not annoiting him a god or anything like that, but this guy has the potential to be a major addition down the stretch for the Sox. ...ya think? SFF
April 26, 200619 yr Author And the rest: that last offspeed pitch was just FILTHY to strike Lugo out.. That hook had some serious bite on it!!!! WOW! That last curve Jenks threw... it was f***ing SICK. filthy? that was flat out disgusting God...I swear to God...you do not part with a guy who can do this. Not at his age. . . . There are basically 2 guys in the league who can come in and destroy a team throwing 99 out of the pen...Wagner and Gagne. This kind of talent cannot be replaced. Yeah, but I will take him over either of them Imagine Jenks coming in to just blow away people in the Playoffs. Best. Curve. Ever. Sorry I didn't credit the sources of the quotes, but you know who you are. Check the thread out though, its awesome. SFF

April 26, 200619 yr I was geeked. I think: "Bobby Jenks, post season hero, BOOK IT" was my sig for a while last season. Of course everyone will pretend to not remember that, :finger
April 26, 200619 yr Me and my dad were at the game. We were both spechless and in awe, and I remember us talking after the game saying this kid could be a difference maker for us one day. I'm just glad one day got here as fast as it did.
April 26, 200619 yr excellent post. There should be an archive thread that includes significant/interesting events and their game thread posts. Edited April 26, 200619 yr by jenksd

April 26, 200619 yr Fun seeing it all in retrospect, ain't it? He sure did make a difference in the playoffs. And to think: we had an entirely different first half closer last year...
