please Uribe, dont go back to your regular self, stay hot, please please stay hot.

 

And I would like Konerko back in the clean up spot.

[greg775]

Wow! We win 10-2; they win 10-2.

My god the Twins go home and kick some butt after that lousy road trip of theirs.

 

To all the Paulie bashers ... do you feel a little stupid right now? Do you admit he's been on a nice roll of late?

Congrats Paulie on getting the BA up to .245. Not bad for somebody many fans wanted flushed down the drain.

 

Go SOX!!!

Why would anyone feel stupid when a player was as bad as he was. Anyone who said he was terrible was 100 percent correct, he was terrible. Thank god its only taken him 2 seasons to snap out of it.

You realize that we have a 2 game lead in the loss column. So if we match the Twins play, we win. If they play one game better than us, we still win.

You said he was washed up. Now you want him batting 4th. You're Karl Rove and Bill O'Reilly all mashed into one.

[CaliSoxFanViaSWside]

Forgot Griffey setting the tone with the 2 1st inning ribbies.

I think its more of playing the hot hand to try and replace TCQ for now, so who ever is playing the best should be up in the order to help the offense out

 

[Wanne]

Wow! We win 10-2; they win 10-2.

And Cubs lose 10-2. The stars are aligning.

[DABearSoX]

And I would like Konerko back in the clean up spot.

 

 

f*** YEA!!!!

[Paulie4Pres]

Great win. Good to see Konerko, Uribe and the others step up. Know what would be nice? If Swisher came out of his coma.

So now having been away for awhile due to limited internet access, Quentin is out for at least 2 weeks, maybe more. Should we make the playoffs, is he going to be eligable to stay on the roster (assuming he heals well)?

No, he won't be back.

[knightni]

No, he won't be back.

I that fact or just your opinion?

 

He hasn't even been to surgery yet.

He hasn't even been to surgery yet.

 

My dad talked to 4 different orthopedic surgeons last night (ironically, he's at a convention this wknd), and not one of them thinks a baseball hitter could return within 2 months of this type of surgery. Too much in the way of stress on the wrists of a baseball swing.

They're right. The whole two week check thing is just to see how the healing is going.

 

Of course, I've seen alot of professional sports clubs push athletes back well before they should be playing. They could just inject the wrist with xylocaine and let him play but I don't think the White Sox would do that.

If I was a nerd and really knew what you were trying to say, Im sure I would be very hurt by your comments.

 

Its pretty simple: 2 year slump, cant hit, sit on the bench. Hitting, getting hot, hitting for power, move up the order. Im a White Sox fan, I want the best players on the field. Hence why I started a positive Paulie thread and also have had him in my avatar for months.

[Swingandalongonetoleft]

I guess my question was with over 3 weeks left in the regular season, even if it would take more to heal and come back, would Quentin be eligible even if it were to happen in the middle of a playoff series? I haven't seen anything about him hitting the DL and I suspect that is because it would serve no purpose (in terms of roster spot) with rosters being expanded. I'm not sure if I'm right in thinking that, so I wonder- Would DL'ing him somehow make him ineligible? Does he have to be active on the last day of the regular season in order to be on the playoff roster? Again, other than espn.com stories on my lame cell phone, I've been working while this has all been going on, but IIRC Quentin's injury was revealed after callups (who are not eligible for playoffs). If he's not ready to start the postseason, would we be able to replace him with someone not on the roster before callups? (mayhaps a Mac?) Otherwise, would he be able to sit (not officially inactive or DL'd) until he's ready, even if that time happens to be in the middle of a playoff series? Lastly, if that was the case, would the team be willing to save a playoff roster spot for someone who is injured and unsure when he will be able to return?

 

I don't know if we'll see this guy in '08 again either,and it's a damn shame. Luckily for us Griffey and Konerko have found their bats, and Uribe is a better third baseman than Joe Crede, both sides of the ball. It's still very early in their callups, but Mac and Wass have been picking up a flailing Carrasco, and Liney is back. 2.5 game lead, perhaps we have it in us. Where I had become all but disinterested in the season after that dismal road trip, it's suddenly turned into a good book which started slow but drew you in and wouldn't let go (War and Peace?). A club dealing with adversity always makes for a good watch (albeit life shortening if it's your own).

phew, so he'll be back for the world series with a quick heal.

[Disco72]

I think you read that incorrectly. The way I read that was that all four doctors thought that he could not return in two months or less, meaning he would not be ready for the Series.

yea just looking at things through rose colored glasses.

How can you be disinterested in a first place team if you are a fan of the team? If the Sox were 3 back today, I'd still be interested. In fact, I might even be obsessively interested.

Sometimes you make yourself disinterested so as to brace for the let down when a team just isnt good enough to win it all.

 

That said, a Cardinals fan who did that in 06 wouldve significantly hurt how much enjoyment they'd get from the final result. So you dont want to do that unless you're sure yr bad.

 

This is what I do w/ the Chicago Bears most years.

I had to laugh at your response. I totally understand and agree with everything you said.

[Swingandalongonetoleft]

Something like that. Disinterested was the wrong word to use though.
