Could this be the "break" the Twins need to take over in the division?

Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.
S3F should have never voted for him. Quick, let's pile on Youkilis to knock him out.
Marshall: MILSWANCAs?
Ted: Wait, I can get this. Mothers I'd like to sleep with and never call again.
Barney: Circle gets the square!

Quentin to test wrist, but he won't be rushed :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: White Sox
Sounds like cautious optimism is in order here. If the Sox can make the playoffs (which still remains to be seen), they need Carlos Quentin in the middle of that lineup. With him, they don't stand much of a chance against the Rays, without him, it goes from slim to none.Carlos Quentin was re-evaluated Wednesday at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, and the news was better than expected.
Quentin, an American League MVP candidate before he fractured his wrist Sept. 1 when he tried to roughhouse his own bat after a foul ball, is expected to rejoin the team this weekend in Kansas City and start work in the batting cage.
According to the Sox, the fracture lined up, and the soft cast was removed. The plan was to get Quentin started Wednesday and this afternoon on range-of-motion drills, then fly to Kansas City on Friday. There, he's scheduled to take dry swings and further test the wrist.
''He's supposed to hit the first day in K.C.,'' manager Ozzie Guillen said. ''I don't want to rush this kid and all of a sudden we lose him for maybe another month. We've got to take the thing easy and don't rush him.
''And he will make the call when he can come back. I want to wait for him to see what he says, how he does and how he feels, and then we see what we're going to do.''
It remains to be seen whether Quentin can return before the end of the season, but the Sox were pleased with his recovery. They did warn, however, that if there were any setbacks, they likely would shut him down.
