In 2009 Jenks saved 29 games with an ERA of 3.71 and gave up only four less home runs than he has throughout his entire career. While his K/9 increased back to 8.27, his BAA and WHIP increased and...

A few tidbits while everyone is watching the Twins-Yankees game... ESPN Chicago's Bruce Levine reports that the White Sox may look to the trade market moreso than free agents given that the Pale Hose aren't planning to spend any extra money in 2010. Levine singles out Jermaine Dye, Bobby Jenks and Octavio Dotel as the most likely departures from Chicago roster, noting that Dotel mentioned the Cubs...

Bruce Levine Speculates on the White Sox' 2010 Payroll After spending close to $97 million on its 2009 payroll, the Chicago White Sox have committed $72 million to 10 players next season. According to the vibe on the South Side, corporate spending will not be any better to help the team's payroll in 2010. Sources say the Sox payroll for next season will be $95 million. In order to have a productive...

FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal has a new column up with a few interesting hot stove items. Let's dive in... If the White Sox are going to move Bobby Jenks, they'll probably do it early in the offseason. The market for closers this winter (both in free agency and via trade) is decently strong and GM Kenny Williams will want to be involved in all negotiations from the get-go. Or the White Sox could decide...

For this week's post, I've decided to address a local story that's had my home city of Chicago buzzing. Across town from my beloved White Sox, our rival Cubs have suspended for the rest of the season their local fucktard, Milton Bradley. What set off this nut's latest suspension? Well, aside from the obviously crappy numbers he's put up all season, this nutjob has the nerve to accuse the fans of being...

Bobby: Should He Stay or Should He Go Now? De Luca: At this point, all White Sox fans care about is next season. The rotation will be set, and it will be a strong point. The infield also is set. The outfield remains a puzzle because of the impending exit of right fielder Jermaine Dye. The bullpen is a mess, with closer Bobby Jenks having delivered his last pitch for the Sox .

OAKLAND, Calif. – Mark Ellis lined a home run just over the left-field wall with two outs in the ninth inning and the Oakland Athletics avoided a three-game sweep with a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Ellis hit his third career game-winning homer and first since June 8 last year against the Angels off Bobby Jenks (2-4), who had previously posted five straight scoreless outings. Scott...
