MESA, Ariz. -- Carlos Quentin said he experiences normal fatigue in his left foot,  but his bat looked completely healthy Saturday as he slugged two home runs to give the White Sox an 8-3 lead over the Cubs after six innings at HoHoKam Park.

Quentin, who was limited to 99 games in 2009 because of plantar fasciitis, ripped a two-run home run in the first inning and a three-run shot off Carlos Silva.

Quentin, who was the Sox's designated hitter, spoke carefully about the status of his feet.

"I say general soreness," Quentin said. "No sorer than it would be if I was healthy three years ago. It's fatigue. Soreness as in maybe my feet just ache --  both of them. That's must from being in cleats.

"It's not a thought in my head where I'm concerned about that specific location. I'll clarify that. So besides spring training, it standard soreness, I've been very fortunate and it's a very touchy subject for me to talk about. It's been very good so far."

That's right, the White Sox are going to win the spring training World Series. And I cannot wait until the Cubs and all their fans come to Comiskey so I can brag about our spring training beat down!

Cubs look in mid-season form especially Soriano.

Yeah, remember when he came in 5th in MVP voting in '08? That sucked.

Quentin alway looks great in the pre-season, its the regular seasons that kill him.
