At least it is not ligament damage, if there is a silver lining. He will be missed.

This team can do two things:

 

1. Deflate, press too much and fall into the abyss

2. Use this as a rallying cry and crush these freaking teams.

 

I just don't see us deflating. Let's fight this, White Sox.

The question becomes who steps up and helps carry the load. My best guess is that either one of Paulie/Swish gets hot to help JD and Thome. But one of them has to catch absolute fire for the rest of the year even though Konerko had a great August.

What makes it worse is that he did it to himself by acting stupid after an at bat.

 

That's really hard to swallow.

I guess it's time to say

 

Go Bears?

Bulls?

Yes, they touched on it. They said they were gonna use the pin to re-evaluate in a couple weeks. Most likely done for the rest of the regular season, but not definitely. October remains optimistic.

thanks for posting that, that actually makes me feel a lot better

Come on Ranger!!! it's still Go Sox!!!

WORST NEWS OF THE YEAR!!

Konerko and Swisher need to start mashing baseballs on this 10 game homestand.

It's so weird, as I'm much more concerned about Quentin's long-term health compared to what he would have provided this last month. For some reason, I think we'll be fine on offense as long as we're at the Cell, and that another lefty bat in the lineup will benefit us.

Is it just me, or when you hear "pin in wrist" are we talking career threatening here. I did something to my wrist bench pressing like 4 months ago, couldn't do a push up for months without the thing hurting, never got it checked out of course, but after 4 months I think it's about 90% recovered. These things just seem to take forever to get back to full strength. What a shame, guy could have had an MVP award on his mantle.

 

I've had wrist surgery involving pins. The pins were out within 2 months. I was back to 100% within 4-5 months (rehab and s***). My injury was not a broken wrist, it was a torn ligament and ligament detachment from the bone (which I think is more severe than a bone break). It's not going to be career threatening. Ironically, my surgery was done by the hand/wrist specialist from Rush which I believe are the doctors the Sox players see. If it is, Carlos is in good hands.

WORST NEWS OF THE YEAR!!

 

Could have been an ACL injury that would make him worthless for next season as well.

Absolutely terrible news, the low point of the season for me right here.

 

But at least it shows KW did make a shrewd move in trading for Griffey even if he hasn't really produced yet.

 

And hopefully KG can pick it up and start producing some more power.

No matter what it is, I just hope it's an accute injury that will have no long-term ramifications.

 

you just wanted to use the word acute.

 

I guess what bums me out the most is he will lose the MVP because of this, and he's deserving.

Your switchin it up on us in one of the bleakest moments of the season.huh

This is ruining my weekend.

Cowley is saying that it happened from punching a locker in Boston...

I know. This sure makes the Griffey trade look that much better. Things can look up if Swisher can perform at career levels, Griffey Perform at a respectable pace and Carlos coming back in October,

 

This really really blows...I guess my expectations are lowered now...that being said at a minimum lets pick it up and win the division...we have a two game lead with ~20 to go....

On a side note, if this makes Youkilis win the MVP, I'll vomit. Please give it to Hamilton.

there's also a post on the previous page that reports they will take the pin out in a few weeks and reevaluate, he might come back this year. Again, it sounds a lot like the Longoria injury, and they said he should be back soon.

 

It does piss me off that the report is he hurt himself punching a locker, that drives me crazy

Damn,this sucks...first Joe Crede,then Scott Linebrink,Jose Contreras and now our MVP...in my opinion,I'd rather we shut him down for the rest of the season than risk a career ending injury...buena suerte paisano.CQ you da man!!

Boston fans were Chanting "MVP!" for Pedroia when I attended the bos-sox game in Boston last Saturday.

Yeah it's probably better that it's a break and no ligament damage. I think I simply strained/sprained my wrist and it would not get better so I just had to shut down any exercise involving the wrist. Well anyway, just sucks in general to see him go down right now and not get to complete his season just because who knows if he'll ever put together such a complete year again. Commencement of intoxication cannot begin soon enough.

These guys are saying possibly 2-3 weeks. Let's hope he's a quick healer.

 

Chicago White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin will undergo surgery on his fractured right wrist on Monday that will sideline him for at least two-to-three weeks.
