CHICAGO -- During his incredible breakout effort throughout the 2008 season, Carlos Quentin has made a name for himself as not just the American League home run leader but also a clutch hitter with a keen batting eye. Then, there's Quentin's intensity. It's the drive behind the All-Star's on-field success, that steely, fixed look in his eyes showing he's ready for each and every game. It's ...

Bold Predictions: Combat Evolved Edition
The 35th Street Review —
[Editor’s note: This was prepared before today’s news became public. Oh, irony!]
Three things to watch for as two likely playoff teams enter the Octagon this weekend:

(in addition to action in other parks). Sunday isn't an option for the Baltimore
games (the Ravens opener is the reason Saturday's twin-ball came in the first
