so any chance he plays in the playoffs if we get there?

 

can I know griffey played right in cincy, but can he play left for us?

Believe me, Swisher will be in LF and Griffey in CF.

Broken bone for Quentin. Hopefully he's fine in 2 months. At least he got to 100 RBI.

Bruce Levine confirms Quentin is out for the season.

 

If it's true, it will be the first rumor Levine has gotten right all year.

 

dam this sucks if true, anyone with confirmation yet?

I've looked around everywhere, no website reporting it yet...and we all know that both Jesse and Bruuuuce have been known to be wrong on more than one occasion....

Lets just hope Griffey stays healthy and gets hot down the stretch.... thanks for an amazing season Carlos!! Hopefully we'll carry you to the finish line!

Griffey needs to have the September of his life.

 

Maybe the desire for a ring will drive him....

Haha. Figures.

If CQ is done for the yr, why play Jr in CF? Swisher can just move into a platton of BA and him in CF while Griff takes LF.

I blame Herm Schneider.

Didn't Soriano have the same injury and recover in six weeks? If that's the case, he'd be back in five more weeks. So around October 5-10th he could be back. That would be for what, the ALCS? Sorry, just thinking best case here. That's not too likely at this point.

If he is out... which is still not more than a rumor yet...

 

I expect (and hope) that other guys will step up.

 

Paulie usually has two very strong back-to-back months every summer. August was his first.

 

If other guys step up, this will not kill us. If they don't, then we don't deserve to go on anyway.

I thought Soriano's was his hand.

BTW, how do someone have a brokern wrist?

We won it in '05 without Frank, now we have to win it in '08 without TCQ. This team is plenty good to make a run without Carlos.

with the very little we know right now it sounds like a similar injury to what Longoria had

Paul Konerko needs to have a killer year from here on out. If he can do that I think we should be ok.

 

 

The pitching needs to be better, but that was with or without Q.

Hopefully the team rallies around this.

As long as Oz does this right, and doesn't put JO in the lineup everyday, I think Kenny G will step it up.

I like your optimisim, and you may be right, but... this pitching staff is not as good as the 2005 one was. With Linebrink back, the bullpen may be close to as good. But the starting staff isn't, and with Danks looking tired out, its a big drop from 2005's starting 4. Also, this team doesn't have as good a defense.

 

Let's hope the fact that this team has a better offense (which is true, even with out TCQ) than 2005's will make up the difference.

Frank didn't carry the team for 3/4 of a season.

Any word on how severe it is? A break can be anything from a slight fracture to shattered

At this point I'd put Alexi in the #3 spot

There's no word yet, but if you want to be optomistic, it sounds like the X-Rays didn't pick it up and he's been trying to deal with it for a week or two, so hopefully it's just slightly fractured.
