And you can read it here. It was only a matter of time before Quentin got the spotlight.
Other baseball notes
- I don't know how everyone else feels about this, but I actually do root for the Cubs when they aren't playing the White Sox. But when the Cubbies are as hot as they have been lately, winning eight of their last ten and having the second best record in the majors, I do enjoy when they lose. Part of being a White Sox fan is that, no matter what, you have to hate the Cubs a little bit. If you're a Cubs fan, do you have to hate the Sox? I don't think so, because, really, who would ever want to be a Sox fan in the first place? The Cubs have so much for us to be jealous of. They’re are a party, the Sox are just baseball. And baseball is awesome, but (and I'm not sure if I speak for everyone here) if the Cubs ever do win the World Series, I think I'll feel like I missed out on something that should be the ultimate Chicago sports experience.
- Saturday was the best fantasy baseball day for me of all-time. My second round pick, Fonso Soriano, goes 5-for-5 with two dingers, the Cubs blow the game, and one of my closers, Matt Capps, picks up the save.
- Something amazing: led by Quentin, the Sox have three guys in the top eight in OPS in the AL. Quentin, Crede, and (particularly) AJ can’t possibly keep bashing at this rate, but Paulie, Swisher, and Thome are going to pick it up very soon. Swisher’s bases clearing double yesterday that secured the sweep over the Giants will hopefully get him going.
Finally
- Hornets over Spurs tonight. I pray. When in doubt, go with Tyson Chandler.

I will never root for the cubs in any way, shape or form....but I will take full advantage of the free booze if they ever win the world series
Ricky, I am glad you mentioned that the Javy for CYoung deal may not have been that bad in the end because without V last year, could you imagine how much worse the staff would have been? He won 15 games with an era sub 3.75, lead the team in innings pitched and had top five AL strikeout numbers. Youngs 32 homers and 27 stolen bases is nothing to schrug off but were those numbers worth it at the expense of a .237 batting average and a .295 obp? He is young and will only improve anybody who said Kenny Williams made a bad move should maybe check themselves.
