we won the game because the indians manager is more stupid. bunting when jenks was struggling gave us an easy out and took the bat out of choo's hands.

I know today wasn't a save opportunity but anyway:

 

Just looking at the 7 games Jenks has saved: 4 of them were 1-run save-opps, 1 game the tying run reached base, 3 games the go ahead run reached based. The other 3 saves were 3-run save-opps, he allowed 1 baserunner in 2 of them and the other was his only perfect save of the year.

 

His 1 blown save was a 1 run save opportunity in which he allowed 4 baserunners and 3 ER without retiring a batter. In other words: he's been walking an ultra fine line in 1-run save opportunities this year.

 

 

You make the point with those figures and you are right. Jens has been playing with fire all year long. Plus when he does get the save he is still walking that fine line by his walks and hits allowed. Unacceptable!

Ozzie's going to enjoy his 2 game suspension for those comments. Good for him!

Usually I would be ecstatic, but Joey Cora gives me much more stomach pains. He is just terrible.

Yeah, Cora is about as bad, if not worse.

Ozzie's going to enjoy his 2 game suspension for those comments. Good for him!

 

Seeing as he has been suspended before for this same thing, i would be shocked if his suspension is that short.

The fuse is lit. Again.

Soxnet.net game wrapup.

We may miss Carl Crawford for a couple of games after his ejection last night

You guys that hate Jenks fail to consider the fact he normally gets the end result, the game saved.

His track record seems to suggest he ain't so good when provided a tie game or huge lead. He did finish the f***ing game, right?

We won, right?

Why not look glass half full for a change?

Kotsay, he of the .225 batting average who guys like me hate on, hit a home run.

Teahen, the bum, did get two RBIs.

Rios good again.

It's like why would anybody even care Beckham sucked again today? We won the game and took 2-3 which is acceptable on the road. We win another series.

Those are good signs for this bad team.

Now we see if we lose all four in Tampa, win just one, or do the right thing and split. No way this team is capable of 3 of 4 or 4 in Tampa.

Still waiting for the clip on the Sox page of the "balk" and ejection.... like I said in the gamethread "Is my tinfoil hat on too tight?"

Mark might end up getting some time off as well...

 

MDGonzales: buehrle on West: "I think he's too worried about promoting his (country western) CD,and I think he likes seeing his name in the papers

We are Greg - people are praising Pena, Teahen, Kotsay, and others for performing well - but Jenks was awful. His track record this year has not been good, period. That's really all that matters. Sure, the game was "saved," but allowing 6 of the first 7 guys you face to reach base is no way to save a game. With his performance today, he would have blown any type of save opportunity that was presented to him. Thankfully, he wasn't presented with an actual save opportunity, and he was able to get out.

Mark might end up getting some time off as well...

 

Unless it's a 5 game suspension, Buehrle won't even miss his next start.

Mark might end up getting some time off as well...

I think the Yankees/Red Sox had more vehement reactions to him earlier in the year than that.

You'd be better off just saying that you refuse to in life criticize any member of the 2005 White Sox, no matter how despicable their current performance is. Bobby Jenks is HORSEf***INGs***.

Good for Pena. He's been more than capable this year.

At least SI got it right...

 

"This time, Buehrle flipped his glove off and was immediately ejected by West, who stood with his arms folded near the first-base line."

There's a report out today that he won't be suspended.

Well, that makes it sound like he waved his middle finger at his glove.

My point is he finished the game and we won the game. I didn't see it, but didn't he ultimately do a nice job to end it when he'd finally blown it to the point it was a one-run game?

 

There are guys on the 2005 roster I didn't like much. I had my share of criticism for Uribe and was in failure of getting rid of him and he's proven me wrong since. He's continued his career.

I also didn't like Everett.

 

I also didn't like Harris, Gload, and Pablo.

And I hated Vizcaino.

I just don't see the point of burying Jenks when he finished the game that we won.

He is normally not so good when he enters in a tie game or has a big lead at least it seems that way.

 

--And I forgot to see some of the threads praising the heroes of today's game like Kotsay and Mark T. My bad. People have the right to bash Jenks for today, I was just pointing out in my case I won't because he finished and we won.

They were making a big deal last night out of the fact that he struck the ump with his helmet so figured he may get 1 or 2. Darn.

So far this year yes, but he is not horses***. Thinking that 2 months of his performance makes him worthless is pretty much horses***.

If I'm Kenny Williams and I see Joe West messing with my team in the future, I just might casually bring up the possibility of forfeiting games where he's behind the plate. That might prompt MLB to do something about him.

Problem is he's gone from mediocre or average (2009) to replacement level this year. This year hasn't come out of nowhere.
