ha ha ha.
Sunday was so bizarre. First during the game (National CBS broadcast) it was all “when will he be back?” “what do we know?” Has anyone seen him? Watch the tunnel (aside, there’s a touchdown) Then he was out and it was like all they could talk about “and after the break we’ll be back with reaction from Pats fans…” Totally crazy.

KONERKO...
On a base hit to right field by Alex Rios, Konerko cut off the throw from Jermaine Dye and fired the ball to second when Rios strayed too far off first, trapping Rios in a rundown. As soon as Konerko threw the ball, his right knee buckled. He fell to the ground in pain on the grass just to the first-base side of the pitcher’s mound

Hello!
Did you read what I said?
We still have a 3 1/2 game lead. And Milwaukee is our chief rival right now, and If you’ve havent noticed they havent been setting the world on fire.
Id start panicing if we had a 3 1/2 deficit.
