I'd rather be lucky than good.  Or, at least, I like to say that.

Since the Twins haven't been good lately, they might as well be lucky.

Seems like Carlos Quentin, leading homerun hitter in the American League and a strong candidate for MVP, has just been lost for the season.  He is about to undergo wrist surgery and have a pin inserted.

Quetin injured the wrist in Cleveland, was it on Tuesday?

Now, they doctors are saying they will re-evaluate his "situation" in three weeks, and maybe it's just me.  But, if you have a screw inserted in your wrist and you are a power hitter, do you really think it would be possible to come back in a month?

No way.

Give me a break. 

And the Twins just caught a big one.

Question is:  Will they be able to capitalize? 

The American League Central may end up as a race to the bottom at this point.
