The only thing that fills Juan Uribe with more joy than a well-priced all-you-can-eat buffet is hitting homers (Profundo!) and dancing to some latin music in the clubhouse. He got to do a lot of the latter, and probably some of the former as well, on Friday Night against the Angels. It was latin night at the Cell, and an inspired Uribe hit two 2-run homers to help push the Sox to an early 7-0 lead. On the mound, Mark Buehrle struggled with the zone a bit early in the game, but still had good control of his stuff, specifically his breaking ball. He was chased with a smallish strike zone-influenced high pitch count after 6 scoreless innings. He only walked 2 and struck out 7, so it wasn't that he didn't have great control or the ability to put hitters away; it was just an atypical Buehrle start. We had early season John Danks back on the mound for a night. As I'm sure you all know by now, Carlos Quentin has a broken wrist. He suffered the injury last Monday slamming a his fist into his bat after fouling off a Cliff Lee pitch. It's a move we've all seen him make dozens of times this season, and as such, I see no reason to get indignant. Not once before this afternoon did I see anyone complain about Quentin's bat antics. As much as we all love Q!, his loss will almost certainly be overstated. It's an easy thing to do.
