Dear Bobby Jenks …

Posted on April 28, 2008 by Newspaperman


I know you and I never saw eye to eye. I mean the only time I owned you in any fantasy league you sucked and I paid the price. But today you stooped to a new low. You blew a three-out save and cost me, your MLB team and the ace (Javier Vazquez) for both our teams the victory. And while I should be cheering your anti-heroic efforts (my opponent in TheBaseballStars league has you, and I’m a Red Sox fan) it hurts even more today because you couldn’t get the job done — you gave up just one run, enough to cost Vazquez and the White Sox an instant victory, but not enough to get a loss for yourself. Instead your manager took you out of the game to protect your arm because there was no save opportunity. Do me a favor next time, finish the job one way or another. It does no one any good to leave things unsettled. I bet even your teammates, who have endured lengthy rain-delays and now a game suspension, would agree.

Yours truly,

Newspaperman
