santo=dorf Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Just one example of why sometimes it's not good to give someone a minor league invite (some of you were saying Koch.) The player might actually pitch well and make the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 he was released once he reached his goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I was at a game when a line-drive hit him in the leg and he had to leave the game. Naturally, the half-price night/upper deck drunks wildly cheered as he writhed in pain. Not the finest moment for Chicagoans. Overall, he had a nice career.

TLAK Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 29, 2005 -> 12:56 PM) he was released once he reached his goal. The goal of tieing the Grand Slam mark? I'm sure you meant 1,000 games. I'm not saying he was as good as the other guys on this list, but it put him in pretty good company. Its like the adage about starters, you have to be a pretty good pitcher to lose 20 games.

YASNY Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Jackson was a decent pitcher in his day. Unfortunately, that day came and went before 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxmatt Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Mike jackson was good awhile back. He even posted a sub 2 ERA a few times. I was at USCF and witnessed his 1000th career relief appearance. What a thrill it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credepopsup Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Not surprised to hear he's retired. How could he even think about playing baseball with his high profile court case coming up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
