Erick Threets was the latest member of the bullpen to hit the DL, but he hit it hard. Tommy John surgery will end his season, and it deals a surprisingly large blow to his team’s chances as well.
Reading Room: Jackson mans up, what about Manny?
Here’s plenty of reading material to pass the time as we wait with bated breath to find out if Man-tasy becomes reality.
Bobby Jenks: Day laborer
Bobby Jenks had tied together three consecutive three-up, three-down saves before blowing Thursday’s opportunity. My feelings are the same as they were before, which were the same as they were before. I don’t really care who pitches the ninth inning as long as leads keep getting there. Ozzie Guillen reacted differently this time: “You know [...]
Jenks gets mad AND even
With his closer career on the ropes yet again, Bobby Jenks reached into his back pocket on Wednesday night and found the extra heat that has eluded him over the last few years. Comcast’s gun was just a little hot. It clocked Jenks’ best heater at 99 m.p.h.; Brooks had it at only 98.9 m.p.h. [...]
Jenks out as closer? We’ve seen this before
Yup, Bobby Jenks turned another statement win into a heartbreaking loss during this road trip, throwing unimpressive two-seamers and flat sliders to his demise against the Mariners on Wednesday night. Lest we spill too much virtual ink and real vomit, allow me to attempt to quell concerns with two points. No. 1: It was extra [...]
Weekend exposes AL Central’s flaws
Of all the opponents in all the parks on all the schedule, Bobby Jenks had to blow a three-run lead to the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. It’s too juicy of a debacle to ignore, as the White Sox have a reputation of unraveling in Minnesota, and did so on Sunday in spectacular fashion, capped [...]
Are the White Sox in their own league?
The White Sox were one extremely well-timed Alex Rios home run away from extending their winning streak to 12 games, as well as making the entire South Side change its pants. Nevertheless, Sunday’s loss didn’t prevent the Sox from posting a baseball-best 15-3 record in interleague play, and making up seven games in the standings [...]
Floyd good, just not lucky
Ted Lilly and Gavin Floyd had a combined record of 3-11 entering Sunday night’s game, which is pretty shocking considering their track records. So maybe their no-hit duel wasn’t so much due to the struggling offenses as much as it was some serious return to average. One of them was going to continue their hard-luck [...]
West adds name to Guillen’s grudge list
Ozzie Guillen will probably be a little shorter on cash before the end of the month. Mark Buehrle might, too. But it’s hard to argue against them. Guillen and Buehrle were both ejected by Joe West following a pair of balk calls that were questionable on multiple levels on Wednesday afternoon. There still hasn’t been [...]
When Sox have a lead, Ozzie has options
John Danks wasn’t his sharpest on Monday, and it was nice to say it didn’t matter thanks to some fine bullpen work. Sergio Santos, Matt Thornton, J.J. Putz and Bobby Jenks all pitched in a scoreless inning, picking up Danks after the Indians worked him over for 112 pitches over five innings. Their performances on [...]
