DJ is awesome

 

Agreed.

DJ is awesome

 

DJ has had the "pleasure" of working with two of thr worst play by play guys in baseball. When DJ does Fox games on TV, he has been solid. IMO

Jenks left today's game to attend a family matter, should be back tomorrow. from MGonzales

 

Oney tweets Guillen, Jones, and Zambrano families are having dinner at the Witt hotel for anyone interested.

Which one will go apes*** over the check?

I hope its not Zambrano, the one with the $18 million salary

Because it isn't like the last two seasons have been decided by a game 163 in the AL Central or anything...

 

And it isn't like we won 2 of those games anyway and lost 19 games to the Indians either...but yeah, keep using "bu bu but, he's bad in tie games you non-baseball knowing idiots!!!!" as an arugment. Its working.

Neither is pretending like certian games mean less than others in a division that has obviously been as close as humanly possible over the past two seasons.

Jenksy Cat please save this stat when the Bobby naysayers (I don't think they "hate" Bobby; maybe they do though) continue to spout the tie game argument. Thanks.

Bottom line: Some people want closers to be automatic and perfect for some reason. Don't understand it in a game when so many other players fail (hitters than make outs 7 of 10 times) and don't face this kind of venom. God I would love if Bobby made the all star game. That would be hilarious.

And again, you won't have to worry about Bobby making the All Star Game.

Hey, the manager might be a Bobby fan. It would be awesome. The man has been money.

There's too many guys that have been more money than him for the entire year.

Here's my list of league leaders:

 

SAVES—NFeliz, Texas, 20; Soria, Kansas City, 18; Gregg, Toronto, 18; Jenks, Chicago, 17; RSoriano, Tampa Bay, 17; Valverde, Detroit, 17; MRivera, New York, 17; Rauch, Minnesota, 17.

 

 

A Bobby-lover manager might pick him. They usually like to stack a lot of relievers on the all-star roster

Closers you pick before Jenks:

Feliz, Rivera, Soriano, Soria, Valverde, Rauch, etc...

14-2 since the comeback win vs. Detroit on my birthday when I said all I wanted for my birthday was a White Sox Winner.

Man, Jenks' WHIP still sucks after such a great month. Tells you how bad he was to begin the year.

And again, you won't have to worry about Bobby making the All Star Game.

Since we're still on this point...there's one other thing that having a truly dominant, all-star closer does to an opponent...it forces the opponent to game plan for that closer.

 

For example...you're playing the Yankees, you're down 1, with the bottom of your order up in the 8th inning and maybe you get a runner on...what do you do? You play like hell to get that game tied, because you have no confidence in your ability to get the tie in the 9th. On the other hand, if you're facing a weaker or strugging closer, you might try to play things differently and maybe still shoot for the win in the 8th, because you still think you have a shot in the 9th.

Is it OK if for now on, I just write "Jenksy Cat" when I want to defend the great Bobby Jenks?

Will everybody understand what I mean?

Maybe I'll try that a while.

Maybe you can give it a rest once in awhile.

Peavy said he felt nothing but normal soreness after yesterday's start. No bullpen session for him before KC start. from Scott Merkin

Tim Kurkjian and Eduardo Perez just basically said "The Sox are winning. NL doesn't matter."

Ill believe it when they start beating AL teams

 

If they lose the series to KC, ill know all I need to know..

Ron Howard threw out the first pitch on Saturday.

 

Twitter Video offered their suggestion to him.

CMon, dude, they just swept the Braves.

 

Enough of the nonsense.

Kenny next year needs to do a better job Ozzie-proofing the lineup. Giving him an Erstad-type play like Kotsay has been terrible. Kotsay is fine off the bench, and to play once in a while. Ozzie in his usual fashion overuses a role player making him a starter for all intensive purposes. The writing was on the wall with this with the comments Ozzie made when they resigned him. Timo/Erstad/DWise, all you need to do is to be a certain slappy grindy not so good left handed hitter and you make it into the lineup way too many times.

The same Braves who are 9-2 versus the rest of the AL...
