Talk:Bobby Jenks

Bad Bobby
I removed the line "His affectionate nickname among South-Siders is "Bad Bobby"." from the article. I live in Chicago, and am an active Sox fans who attends many games each year, including the playoffs last year, and have never heard this nickname before. Has anyone else or is this neologism? &mdash; Linnwood 19:59, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I've never heard that. I believe that I have heard him been called "Big Bobby". But thas it.

Hawk Harrelson has refered to him as "Bad Bobby Jenks" on a few occasions.

Hawk almost always refers to Jenks as "Bad Bobby Jenks" or "Big Bad Bobby Jenks" Teemu08 18:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Supposedly, he was in "trouble," from the Yahoo Story I just read. It only mentioned "carousing," but nothing specific. I'm a Sox fan too, and I had never heard anything negative about his past. 135.214.40.68 (talk) 16:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Rookie
Was he a rookie for the 2006 season? IP in 2005 was below the requirement; but, I'm not sure if he was on the 25-man roster long enough or not. Neier 04:15, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Record
Jenks was perfect from July 17 2007 thru August 12 2007. He made 14 one inning appearances:

Denied the deal is not finalized until a physical occurs.--TM 23:45, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Here you go Editing Nazis. Here is your link. Please while you're at it you can send me another warning. I don't care. http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/sports/red_sox/index.php/2010/12/21/jenks-deal-done/ --24.91.127.114 (talk) 21:27, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Watch your tone or you may be blocked without any further warnings. The deal wasn't done until they finished that physical and DFA'd Brent Dlugach, because the signing of Wheeler had put their 40 man roster at the maximum 40. --Muboshgu (talk) 00:27, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Jeez, have a sense of humor. I gave you your link, like you requested. Relax, Merry Xmas. --24.91.127.114 (talk) 11:11, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
