Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 11:38 PM) Way to go out on a limb I know. Not much of a revelation. But I'm talkin' 09 Mauer type s***. He won't hit .350. Other than that, he's on the cusp. And with his defense being where it's at now? You''re talkin' one potentially special player.

JPN366 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 My friend and co-worker grew up with and went to school with Desmond Jennings, who's from the Birmingham metro area. My friend said he is dumber than a bag of hammers and that teachers fixed his grades for him. He was also a football player who passed up a scholarship to Alabama to play baseball.

JPN366 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I love it when a baseball game being broadcast by ESPN goes into extra innings. It must kill them not to be able to talk about how wonderful Tom Brady is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude was a top 5 pick just 4 years ago (should of been top 3), was very highly touted comming out of Georgia Tech (scouts compared him to Joe Mauer with power) destroyed minor league pitching, and so far, hasn't been that great in the bigs like he is capable of. He still has time though and yes.. I still follow up on him since I was a big fan of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 2 weeks left. Playoffs Stand this way... Braves at Diamondbacks Brewers at Phillies Red Sox at Tigers Rangers at Yankees Tigers are 3.5 back of NY for the 1-seed. D-backs and Brewers are tied, but AZ won the season series, so a tie goes to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a high school right in Chicago that was (probably still is) incredibly corrupt when it comes to grading for athletes. The funny thing is that they are mediocre at every major sport and have been for years. I know of at least one incident that would actually likely end with people in jail if it were to get out.

While I'm sure he received that treatment, I wasn't referring to him or his school. Like I said, this school isn't even good in athletics. For some reason, they treat their athletes like VIP's even though they are consistently mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Bobby Jenks tells Michael Vega of the Boston Globe that he's disappointed the first season of his two-year deal with the Red Sox turned out so poorly. He's optimistic about being ready for Spring Training and being able to contribute in 2012 though. The reliever says that although he hasn't undergone his spine surgery yet, the doctors are talking about "weeks and not months" for the recovery. Big Bobby had season ending back surgery AND a pulmonary embolism. Tough first season in Bah ston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
