Jenks Jinxed

In the words of Bill Clinton, "I feel your pain." First Gavin Floyd, one of the prime candidates for the fifth spot in the rotation, rolls his ankle and has to leave a game. Then, yesterday, established closer, Bobby Jenks, experiences "tightness" in his shoulder after throwing nine pitches in the White Sox Cactus League opener and left the game with a 2-0 count on the batter. (The Sox lost to Colorado 12-4, but don't worry about wins and losses just yet. It is surprising though that at a time when pitchers are supposed to be ahead of hitters, veterans Mark Buehrle and Jon Garland, and new guy, John Danks, got rocked, or should we say Rockied?) Jenks says he's not injured, just tight, and Ozzie says he believes him. I don't believe either one of them. At least it gives the other flamethrowers in the bullpen some extra work. Mike MacDougal, Matt Thornton, and some guy I've never heard of before, Dewon Day, each pitched a scoreless inning after Jenks went down. And that is a good thing.
