Plunk streak ends

Carlos Quentin played in a baseball game last night, and he didn't get hit by a pitch - for the first time since August 6th. But, the White Sox began a short road trip in Oakland last night, and all 6 plunks of Quentin's streak were in home games, so he could still continue his home-game plunk streak when the White Sox return to US Cellular Field on Monday.

But since Quentin didn't get hit by a pitch, that leaves the longest active streak of getting hit by pitches at 1... by Jose Guillen, Austin Kearns, Jorge Cantu, Josh Willingham, Shin-Soo Choo and Nick Swisher.

In other important news, Jorge De La Rosa of the Rockies hit Austin Kearns of the Nationals with a pitch last night, bringing the Rockies all time franchise total for plunks thrown to 998. I'm sure everyone in Colorado is excited about seeing the team pass such a major milestone in the near future.
