August 5, 200718 yr Author QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 4, 2007 -> 04:14 PM) I worry about AJ next season. He is hitting like .350 since the break.
August 5, 200718 yr QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 5, 2007 -> 11:46 AM) He is hitting like .350 since the break. AJ's been that way all 3 years he's been here now...hot and cold. On fire when he stops trying to pull everything over the RF fence and just hits the ball into LF, and ice cold with the occasional HR when he tries to kill the ball.
August 6, 200718 yr How can Bobby Jenks be this good? Year after year. Knock on wood. Can it continue??
August 6, 200718 yr I'm not worried because of his year per se -- but because he's getting up there in years and he's caught a lot of games. I worry that next year he'll start to decline. Edited August 6, 200718 yr by Gregory Pratt
August 6, 200718 yr He definitely has been a prize player. Congrats to the Sox for the great play of late. Things start to look brighter like everybody has said when guys like Owens, Richar, Floyd and some of our bad relievers do the job. Keep it up, boys, let's shock the world!
August 8, 200718 yr I just noticed Bobby Jenks is in inning number 11 of a hidden perfect game. After 2 batters reached with one out on the July 17th game Vs the Indians Bobby retired the next 2 hitters. This was the start of a 32 hitter hidden perfect game that has spanned 11 outings. Over this stretch he has retired all 32 batters he has faced, 10 of them via the strikeout and has recorded 7 saves, including 2 in one day. Congrats Bobby on this unheralded but incredibly impressive accomplishment.

August 9, 200718 yr Wow. Willie Harris just robbed Delgado of a HR to preserve the win for the Braves vs. the Mets. Willie!!!

August 11, 200718 yr Gage and I just finished a podcast. Pure hilarity? Probably. It was a f***in trainwreck at the end. Gage sings.

August 12, 200718 yr Kosuke Fukudome of the Chunichi Dragons becomes a free agent after this season, and scouts are raving about his gap power. Fukudome, who spoiled Hideki Matsui's triple-crown bid in 2002, Matsui's final Japanese season, by leading his league with a .343 batting average, is being scouted heavily by the Red Sox, Cubs, Yankees and White Sox, among other teams. http://www.nj.com/columns/ledger/graziano/...&thispage=2 woo-hoo!
August 12, 200718 yr I wonder how much he will be getting. I don't see the Red Sox going after him with J.D. Drew sitting in RF and has a ridiculous contract that no team would want to trade for. Yankees possibly. It could come down between the Sox and Cubs...
August 12, 200718 yr Gammons latest blog has some of the top rated players at every position in the minors from 2002. Pitching is hard to project. Of the top 25 rated right handed pitchers there are 3 that have done anything worthwhile in the major leagues. Bonderman who was ranked 8th or 9th, Wainwright who was ranked 5th or 6th and Aaron Cook who was 8th or 9th. Gavin Floyd was ranked #2 right behind Jesse Foppert. Joe Borchard was ranked the #4 OF.
August 13, 200718 yr Getting our bats shoved up our @$$es by awful pitchers is our thing (Paul Maholm, Jeff Weaver). Anybody else I'm forgetting?
August 13, 200718 yr QUOTE(SoxAce @ Aug 13, 2007 -> 02:48 AM) Interesting fact. The Sox are 40-14 when Bobby Jenks pitches. Probably because he's used mostly when we're winning to close out a game, since he is the closer afterall.
