MESA, Ariz. -- The White Sox had just rallied for three runs in the top of the ninth inning off Giants closer Brian Wilson during Friday's contest in Scottsdale, erasing a two-run deficit. Sitting three outs from victory seemed to dictate the perfect time to summon closer Bobby Jenks from the bullpen.
It would have been the perfect time for Jenks, actually, if the game wasn't being played in Arizona during March, and if Jenks was even on the schedule to pitch for this particular day. Instead, the White Sox turned to Minor Leaguer Jason Childers, who pitched five games for the Rays in 2006 as his lone big league experience. The Giants promptly rallied for two runs and pulled out a 4-3 victory.

I'm glad that Jenks has his head on, because a few times last season he didn't.
