Two Brite Spots

Sox pitcher Bobby Jenks tied a major league record by recording his 41st straight out yesterday in the Sox 0-6 loss to Seattle. In a down season, two outstanding pitching achievements seem to be the teams hi-lites this season. In April, starter Mark Burelue threw a no hitter. Now, with the season running out of promise, another Sox star lets us still celebrate the team.

Jenks has had a good year after a rough start. Although he may not be Dennis Eckersly c. 1990, he has become better and more dependable all the time. He was deservedly the only All Star from the team, and has a brite future on the team.

His streak is incredible. 41 outs in a row is like throwing a perfect game and a half- there's no room for error. It was exciting to watch/listen to each of the last six outs. Kudo's to Ozzy for pitching jenks in a non save situation so that the home crowd @ comisky could see the record. We appreciate being appreciated. Now, with Cleveland, Detroit, and Minnesota all struggling, it would be nice if the team could emulate their All Star and sting to-gether a winning streak.

I suppose the sox season is reduced to individual accomplishments, but it is too bad that when kenny said, "Changes are coming" he was drunk or high. What changes? This offseason is shaping up to be the most important in Kenny's career.
