QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 05:28 PM) If you want a knockout blow for this team, take away it's best hitter. I honestly think we can survive losing Quentin. At this point, I just hope he's fine for the rest of his career.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) This is really, really, really not good. No matter what it is, I just hope it's an accute injury that will have no long-term ramifications.

Yep, Cowley's the only person reporting positive news about him, so hopefully he's correct.

There was a lot of talk yesterday about the injury on other boards. Someone heard from a Sox source that it wasn't good, and the speculation was he was out for the year. Buster Olney also heard something similar.

I don't hate McCain, as I could stomach him winning a lot more than I could Hillary. However, someone please tell him to stop doing that thing with his arms where he's trying to show he's pumped up by sticking them straight out. Either that, or his jacket was on way too tight.

With the rumors going around about Quentin's health yesterday, I definitely missed this place. Like someone else mentioned, I clicked on my soxtalk tab about 50 times yesterday.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 03:51 AM) it played right into the "GOP is out of touch" line. Ye,s you can say they dont have executive power. but dont brush them off as just people who dont do much and try to be self important. I have to ask this...are community organizers usually associated with black neighborhoods? This is the first thing that my brother and I thought of, and after viewing Roland Martin's comments tonight, I have a feeling this is going to become a bigger issue.

1 game lead!

Snider's going to be a star in a few years.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 03:26 AM) what did overbay do First pitch pop up for the second straight AB. I still can't believe that Rios ball wasn't out by 50 feet.

No surprise Thigpen K'd, as his minor league numbers sucked.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 03:17 AM) Replays show that it looks like the ball hit a camera and came back into play. Where's the instant replay???? Serious? I missed that.

Yeah, that looked like a no doubter off the bat.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 03:11 AM) What a play by Scott Rolen. He might have lost the bat, but not the glove. Great play, even though I thought that was foul by a mile.

Holy s***, another Twins error!

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 01:55 AM) what do you know, a no name making a great catch. Tolbert? That was an easy catch...too bad he wasn't guarding the line. Rolen had 6 good fastballs to hit.

Scott Rolen sucks at the game of baseball now.

QUOTE (sox1844 @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 01:30 AM) Just going on what I've heard, OC is one of our best hitters in the clutch. Kinda sucks at bunting, but, Ozzie should have figured that out by now and stopped bunting him. Do yourself a favor, and don't let Hawk dictate how you view baseball players.

That was just terrible, throw the f***ing ball Scutaro.

Advantage Twins

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 01:12 AM) Watching this Twin team closely over the past few weeks I've been thoroughly unimpressed by their team defense and bullpen. 2 things that organization is known for. Their outfield defense is special, especially with Span out there. On the other hand, their infield defense is nothing special. Mauer does a phenomenal job behind the plate.

Huge error by Punto ties the game!

And the Twins have the lead. Why would you keep throwing him inside fastballs?

Angel Hernandez really sucks at his job.

QUOTE (sox1844 @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 01:05 AM) How can you possibly know that? Besides what the stupid Chicago media says, all you see is him talking to everyone and laughing etc. I don't get why everyone has decided he's "failed?" I wouldn't say .273 in the lead-off role is failing miserably.... Why don't people just see this for what it is - a one year rental that has turned out to be OK. Sox are doing a million times better than last year, so obviously KW did something right. I said he's failed at being a fundamental hitter. He's been horrible on hit-and-runs this season, can't get a bunt down to save his life, and has been miserable with RISP and 2 outs. The Sox are doing better this season than last due to people like Quentin, Linebrink, and Ramirez.
