Thank You and Goodnight!...Quentin's Walk-Off Homer Wins Game 3-2 Over Angels (Game 50, '08)


This game looked a lot like many of the other Sox games I have watched this year - excellent pitching, little offense, with key contributions by a couple guys.  In this case, as Ozzie said, Carlos Quentin has taken this 'heavy' team and carried it on his back, or rather bat, since he has been the most consistent offensive player on the White Sox in 2008.  In the short term, this looks good because even with little offense, the Sox have continued to win ballgames.  In the long term though, this is not good because this team will need more than Carlos Quentin to win games.  Also, with the offense as is, the pitching will have to continue to be lights out, which is hard to expect.  There are going to be times when the offense will have to pick up the pitching.  They did that once in San Francisco.  They will have to do it more often in the future.  Good for the Sox to at least salvage a game against the Angels, and still 2 1/2 games up in the American League Central.
