Deadly Weekend Sees 37 Shot, 2 Stabbed, 7 DeadWhat struck me most about these attacks were that the overwhelming majority were on the South Side.

Well, the Cubbies certainly bit back tonight, didn't they? 12-3. Haven't seen an ass-whomping that bad since I went to this arena in Mexico during "Burro Hurting Day." Of course, thinking of Game One, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see the Marlins do the fish-slapping dance on the Cubs' carcasses on Friday in Florida. I hope they don't ( Read more... )
