QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) If somebody says something personal or ridiculous about Jenks, I'm going to respond. My responses have been in response to others' ridiculous comments. It's ridiculous to read some of the s*** on here about pulling the hairs out on his goatee and not respond. I get why people hate Jenks. Despite blowing two of three saves I still think he has had a good season. In fact, I'd give him a B to B- right now. If you want to flag him, go right ahead. You'll get your wish. Let's just hope Putz is as automatic as the Sox want him to be. I'd give him a C. He's gotten the saves, but looked shaky in a lot of instances. I also had Bobby's back up until this season when he lost me trying to be a complete pitcher despite his great curve & fastball. I didn't like the goatee when he first grew it and I didn't like that he didn't seem to care about his conditioning, but I still really liked Bobby Jenks. The problem is, it doesn't even seem to be a physical issue so much as a he-refuses-to-use-his-good-pitches issue that has me absolutely disgusted with a guy I thought would blow down the Sox all time save record.

I like a bunch of the jumps (like Escobar, Short, Gilmore) but man, injuries and dropping players (like CJ). I did expect Flowers to be 3 and Mitchell to fall a bit.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 08:00 AM) Isn't he right handed? .238 BA? I wouldn't even give them Torres. Maybe Jeff Marquez is all they would get. Yes. I think it might have just been an inquiry and gaging the market.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 05:22 AM) In Cowley's article about the Sox interest in Fielder it mentions that KW has given Washington the entire minor league sysytem to pick from. The nice thing is Beckham, Hudson, and Viciedo are on the major league roster. Get it done KW.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 03:07 AM) Otis should be on the phone right now offering Nelson + VC + something else. We might have to take Okafor's contract back to make a deal though. Nelson + VC + Gortat for Paul and Okafor perhaps? It'd be: Nelson + VC + Gortat + 3 Firsts or something

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 01:21 AM) Via Rotoworld Please don't make this move KW. God no unless the asking price starts and ends at Torres.

Get Jenks a freaking beer.

The East would be stacked.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 12:10 AM) Where's greg. He bolted from the chat the second Bobby came in. Maybe he is Bobby.

Bobby to mid-relief now.

f***.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 01:51 PM) If you add Beckham to the deal, could you legitimately ask for Brett Lawrie in return as well? I'm not adding Beckham to the deal, and neither is Kenny. Kenny could have had a lot of players for Gordon, A-Gon, Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay, to name a few and has not bit.

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 01:49 PM) Alright ...here's the low down!! haha She used to be a friend of both of ours on facebook, but we've had some issues with her mother messaging Chase and telling him that she wishes he and ..we'll call her, female!! haha ..any way, telling him that she wishes he would be with female and that she would love him to be her son in law (she already knew we were engaged when she did this) ..then after that, "female" was messaging me and telling me big fat lies. She works at a local tanning salon (the one I go to) ..my mother in law to be, also goes there ..I guess she doesn't know that I see Chase's mother EVERY DAY, she probably assumed I don't since Chase isn't here ...she was talking about me to Rori and of course, Rori told me everything because she loves me to pieces!! LOL ..I confronted the girl, and she lied her face off!! She thinks I'm psycho and controlling ..she can't fathom the thought that Chase excluded her from his life on his own ..she thinks I made him do it ..pfff WHATEVER!! ..I don't blame her for not admitting it to me though ..she's a little 4' 10 and I am a thicky thick girl standing at 5'8" ... ... Her best friend is also the best friend of one of my little sisters and has been since they were like, 10. Recently I noticed that she deleted me from FB but still had Chase, she and Chase do not speak and only ever have because of the other female. When I told Chase that this girl deleted me, he had me delete her from his as well. She had to be snooping around for him to notice that she had been deleted because 2 days later she requested him back and asked him why he deleted her. Then she and I got into it, she thought I was the one who told him to delete her and told me to grow up ..then I went OFF!! I'm considerably more intelligent than this girl and basically made her feel like a complete moron ..I have had zero trouble from her since ..BUT all of this (someone being on his FB and the drama), happened around the same time. Like I said before (i think!!) these 2 girls are the only people besides Chase and myself that have ever had his password. They helped him make his FB a couple years back and he has had the same password since then. That is why I suspect them!! ...I don't think it's beyond them to do something like this AT ALL! I wouldn't put it past female's mother either!! Later on CSI: SoxTalk, we'll examine the evidence and come to a conclusion while this The Who song plays in the background.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) The important thing is that if you can't extend him, then is it worth it to sell off all the top prospects for a year and a half of Fielder? No.

One of my friends on their Facebook wrote how good the Cubs game was. Someone replied "The socks are better." I want to hit them.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 11:27 AM) Isn't it ironic how probably the worst 1B in all of baseball, in terms of defense, could easily end up being our 1B next season (Dunn) I still think we resign Paulie this offseason.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 09:33 AM) Now whatever kool aid it is that Alexei is sipping, can we give some to Mark Teahen? I mean Alexei wasn't perceived to be the sharpest tool in the shed and clearly he is making great progress, without a doubt one of the best SS around right now. Can we hope Omar can rub off on Viciedo so he can become an average 3B? Fixed, because wasn't the knock on Dayan's defense at 3rd always mental mistakes like Alexei used to have? Not saying he could become a GG like Alexei should, but maybe an above average glove.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 07:55 AM) Happens almost every baseball game, and it kills me. There is always some fan in the upper deck, a ways down the line, 20 rows up, who spends the game shouting at the umpire about balls and strikes. Really? From 400' up and over here, you can see the strike zone that well? Are you half owl? Shut your yap. Who-who are you to question that?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 08:00 AM) Huh? Werth to Sox Huddy+ to Astros Oswalt to Phils I think thats what he means

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 08:00 AM) People who don't live in NY seem way more sensitive about issues concerning 9/11 than people who live in the city actually are. Because the NYC people have probably heard about it so much and live near, so they are probably desensitized.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 01:06 AM) Perhaps lost in the stellar play of Alexei and Vizquel this evening was PK doing a great job of picking some tough throws out of the dirt. Range is often overrated at 1B. Paulie might make the best picks of anyone.

Alexei Ramirez, esquire.

One of my friends on Facebook put "Sox fans can rejoice with the BP Cup when we have the WS Trophy" My response: "Hahahahahahaahhahahahahahahha x 100"

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 20, 2010 -> 06:31 PM) Contract year. Makes perfect sense. Try return of the goatee

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 20, 2010 -> 07:39 PM) No, just the inconsistency of the board. Jenks has been ragged on more than anyone who deserves to be on the team in the first place (not Kotsay, Williams, etc) yet in pure closer numbers hasn't been nearly that bad. Yeah he's making to much money and he's not the same as he once was, but the ridiculous amount of hate he has gotten is pretty f***ing pathetic. No, those guys were/are both hated far more. The difference is, Bobby sometimes forgets what pitcher he used to be and doesn't throw the curve or 4-seam.
