The characterization of Jose Quintana as Poor Jose Quintana is probably closer to a caricature than reality, even though his thunderous nine-inning no-decision against the Royals on Wednesday was practically designed to warp his most notable feature.
It's fun to imagine him as White Sox Frank Grimes, waking up at his apartment located above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley, toiling at work year after year with little recognition while Erik Johnson waltzes in and picks up three quick September victories in between a winning a Grammy and a trip to space.
