Bobby Jenks Got a DUI at 3:43 AM and Was Charged with Hit-and-Run, Too

All, Baseball, Booze, Courts, Legal, Heavy Drinking Tim Ryan March 23rd. 2012, 11:16am

Today is turning out to be quite the movement for fat, frequently embattled relief pitchers. Joba’s down for the count and now we’ve gotten word that Red Sox reliever Bobby Jenks was arrested in Ft. Myers at 3:43 AM this morning. He’s being charged with DUI, property damage and leaving the scene of an accident. As Jimmy V once poignantly said, that’s a full day.

The mugshot is delightful. Poor guy looks like a lost puppy who just wants a Snausage or two.

Could have sworn he said he gave up drinking a few years ago. $6M for this guy this year. Boston has to be happy it’s his last season there.

Baseball needs to address this issue. Mandatory, what, 50 or 100 game suspensions for first offenders, and then up from there?

Agreed…drinking and driving is much much worse of an issue than steroids in baseball.

How many of those Boston Red Sox were driving home last year after drinking their beer in the clubhouse? Scary thought.

getting new sticks (new to you, that is) is the best.
i just got my adams speedline fast 10 3w with an aldila NVvoodoo x-stiff and a cleveland tour mashie (less offset, flat sole than the regular one) with a miyazaki 83 x-stiff and my new nike wedges (PHENOMENAL)…love em all so fucking much i just wanna go to the range and hit balls all day.
wish my old 3w didn’t break…wanted a new driver bad.

We’re getting out on Sunday. Should be decent weather – slight chance or rain, high in the 60s. Just playing a crappy local muni since none of us have played much at all this year.

Hit my new Superfast 2.0 a couple weeks ago for the first time. Just got the standard shaft/setup as part of a huge price cut (only paid $139). The regular flex shaft definitely feels whippy when I’m swinging, but the ball was coming off dead straight with a nice high carry (which I normally don’t have – low ball hitter).

Rain all day on Sunday, at least I got to the range twice this week. Was hitting my driver, 7i and 4i pretty well. Still need a lot of work on my new 60* wedge.

as long as the ball’s not ballooning on you, youre money.
plus, there’s no industry standard for shaft flex. one company’s R might be another’s stiff. and it varies even more in the “made for” shafts where some that were labeled x-stiff were measured out at a ladies’ flex (i think it was an older cleveland driver in this test).
the fuji rombax shaft in my 3w that broke was a “stiff” but when i cut tip and butt trimmed it and put it in my 3w, the CPM’s (measure of oscillations to standardize shaft flex) was a decent bit stiffer than my clubguy’s aldila voodoo7 x-stiff. kinda interesting.

I can attest to this. I played with my boss and he just got a RBZ driver. Guy has no idea where the thing is going but when he seeds one the ball is in the air forever and just carries and carries.

I was just reading some quotes from Jenks at the scene last night where apparantly he was telling paramedics he took too many muscle relaxers and was shaking. Now I feel kinda bad as he did almost die in the offseason because of his back surgery.

he’s had issues ever since the minors, then beat them long enough to excel for a few years
