Phillies Turn Attention To Carlos Quintin

28 07 2011

The Phillies, who lost out to the Giant in the Carlos Beltran sweepstakes are reportedly interested in Chicago White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports latest tweet. The Phillies and White Sox were reportedly linked in trade talks for Quintin prior to the 2011 season. Philadelphia apparently has renewed interest.

The Phillies rivals, the Atlanta Braves, have been the team most rumored to be going after Quintin and the Sox have been scouting the Atlanta farm system for potential trade candidates for weeks now. Quintin has a .265/.356/.516 line with 20 homeruns this year. Quintin will be arbitration eligible for the final time following this season.

Barack Obama Blasts Cubs Fans!

3 09 2008

by Michael DeLuca

While Eric Cartman preaches “Westside,” apparently Presidential hopeful Barack Obama is all about the Southside.  When asked by Stuart Scott about the possibility of a cross-town World Series between the Cubs and White Sox, Obama replied…”I would be going.”  And when asked who he’d be rooting for, Obama replied “Oh, that’s easy, White Sox.”  He then went on to say “I’m not one of these fair weather fans.  You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful people up there.
