DABearSoX Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 08:38 PM) Talk about some s***ty news to wake up to. Maybe there's a chance he can come back, but I don't think we can count on him. Like Fathom's been saying, let's just hope he fully recovers. Hey...at least you just woke up...

joejoesox Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 at least we have griffey but seriously, worst news of the year. the only silverlinings are that it happened way way late into the season, and that carlos was super productive while he was healthy i cant f***ing stand to think that he won't win the MVP now, this blows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 07:39 PM) I disagree completely. How can having one of the best hitters league be out of the lineup make the games more enjoyable to watch? Now we are considerably weakened. Fans in Minnesota have to be celebrating wildly. This is a huge loss and no way will he be back this season. A broken wrist? They should say he's gone for the year. The odds of us winning now are s***. This sucks. The Twins have overcome injuries to a good right fielder and one of the best set-up men in the league. I doubt the Twins fans are too enthusiastic after the craptacular baseball they've played recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't expected to win now. I'm not trying to make this out to be a good thing. Everybody's expectations lower greatly when you lose your best hitter. I won't get nearly as pissed off if we lose because we aren't fighting with all our guns. Sucks, but thats what happens sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 12:36 PM) Worst thing Ozzie can do is force Owens into the lineup using the "speed" excuse. While Owens has speed, he can't get on base I guarantee you this means more playing time for Owens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I guess I just don't care if we're expected to win or not. We just lost the best player in the league. I don't care if expectations are lowered. I could see us going into a big funk without him. The guy is MVP and he's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 As crazy as this sounds, if Linebrink can regain his earlier form, I think the Sox are better without Quentin than they were without Linebrink. Of course its not as strong as they would be with both. Griffey is going to have to earn his paycheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 If he punched a locker ... geez that is so f***ing stupid. Hit the locker with your bat and pay the damages you dumbass. If he didn't punch a locker, then I feel sorry for CQ. If he did, he should be fined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Like I said earlier this type of injury could kill Quentin's power and turn him into a doubles hitter, after a season in which he performs horribly after trying to hit home runs, he'd probably have to try to be a contact hitter. That really sucks. There is a great possibility that this year will turn out to be the best of his career. Look at Derrek Lee from the other side of town: when he hurt his wrist, his power disappeared. This is a repost, but I'm throwing it out there again.

greg775 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I saw the ESPN story and it listed something like 4 doctors doing the surgery. And he'll be out a couple weeks. Sure he will. No way. He gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 01:57 PM) It goes against logic, and probably isn't close to true, but I actually agree with this. Having a healthy Dotel-Linebrink-Jenks back end of the bullpen does WONDERS for this team. When the hitters are going right, there is enough offense in the lineup Quentin's loss can be overcome. Now I don't think Linebrink is healthy, and will have a great impact on this club, but if he does come back strong, this team still has a very legit shot at the post-season. The pitching had to get better even with CQ at full strength in the lineup to give this team a chance to win. Hopefully the starters come around and Linebrink is healthy and this team shows signs of life and doesn't roll over and die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I hear about the injury, the less concerned I am about this type of thing happening to Quentin. Lee was always a doubles hitter, and besides for that one season, he was never a prodigious home run hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Quentin will be fine long term, I'm not worried about that. Wrist injuries are a lot worse on basketball players than baseball players generally. But in the meantime, as one of my best friends said today, "we're f***ed".
