This has not been a very good week for Chicago baseball fans. Sure, both of our teams entered September in first place but it seems like players named Carlos are working to derail our Crosstown Series fantasies this week.
On the heels of Cubs fans' panic attacks over the state of Carlos Zambrano's shoulder, now Sox fans are now getting the gut check. The team revealed this afternoon that Carlos Quentin has a broken bone in his hand that will require surgery and end his season. It's believed he suffered the injury in Monday night's game against the Indians.
As the Sox enter a key series against the AL's best team, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, they're going to need the likes of Ken Griffey Jr. to step up and fill the offensive void. Quentin currently leads the AL with 36 home runs and has driven in 100 runs, tops on the team. The Sox had hoped to shake the Minnesota Twins while the GOP Convention chased them from town, but after 18 straight on the road the Twins are still right there. It's unclear if Quentin would be available if the Sox finish on top of the division and make the playoffs. Doctors are expected to reevaluate the outfielder's wrist in two to three weeks.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttttttt
Oh, why couldn't it have been Griffey Jr.?
first Biden, then Palin, now this. The past few weeks really suck.
Heard from a few people (friends, work associates) that Carlos the Caveman injured himself punching something in the clubhouse while in Boston. If this is true that'd be a real shame for a guy having a MVP-caliber season.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!
we're still gonna beat out the twins for the division. the twins can suck my balls!
Stealth -- don't worry, it's coming up real soon. Griffey's just due for a hamstring injury.
It's 14 straight games on the road, not 18.
Tough break, but we'll still pull through and win the central.
CQ got beaned HOW many times this year? Its absolutely rediculous...the last time it happened it was his first game back after getting hit 5 games in a row. And sure enough: he gets hit again; i think the ball flew as far as the dugout. And never once did the Sox retaliate. Im not sure if that was the cause of the injury, but it sure wouldnt surprise me. And I really feel bad for the guy. He was a legit MVP contender. And wrists injuries are not easy to come back from...his career could be fucking over. Fuck.
