First...I guess Jenks has experienced a little tightness in his back, which is why he has had the last few nights off.
As for everyone on this team contributing...very true. Last night Brian Anderson got the big two run single. I have a theory on why the Sox are a good team. The "experts" don't give the White Sox a lot of respect, but I think part of that is due to the fact that the Sox don't have any superstars on the team. We don't have an Albert Pujols, a Johan Santana, or an A Rod. But what we do have is a very good player at each position. Like it was stated earlier, there are no easy outs in our line up. Every player at each position is better than average. And when you add the sum of the parts, the numbers really look good. When you look at our team, there are no gaping holes that make you say that we are a piece or two away from being great. And when you have quality up and down your line up, it makes it easier to work around guys who are in funks. Quite often, when teams are built around a superstar, if that superstar gets cold, many times, so does the whole team. That shouldn't be the case with the Sox.
Now that the bats have heated up (which they usually do with the weather), I think the Sox are going to continue to play some great baseball.
