One Way to Skin a Cat

  • A dead goat was found hanging on a statue of Harry Caray outside Wrigley Field early Monday on the North Side. A similar incident occurred in 2007, police said.

    About 2:40 a.m., police responded to a 911 call indicating a dead goat was hanging from a rope on the statue of Harry Caray outside Wrigley Field at the intersection of Clark and Addison streets, according to Town Hall District police.

It seems a bit extreme, but what other way can anyone think of to lift a curse that's running on 100 years plus now?

As an owner of a Pontiac GTO, I find this highly distasteful.

Isn't that just like the sissy Northsiders to call the police for such a non-event? Sox fans would have ripped that goat down and cooked and ate it...after they kicked it around the parking lot for a while. I'll bet some Cubs fans will also be demanding that PETA launch an investigation into said non-event. Pussies.

They can try all the Mumbo-Jumbo they want....They will never win it all! Why should they when that place gets packed with 40,000 snarling, drunken, 25 year-olds win or lose? Really, it has become nothing but the center of a Mexico City style traffic jam that engulfs the N. side every game day. Bull doze the grounds, build public housing on the site, and move the team to some shit hole in the Nevada desert.

Aww, lighten up, Francis. They probably got the goat carcass at one of the little slaughterhouses that exist practically in the shadow of Sox park a/k/a the Cell. Nobody here is condoning or encouraging cruelty to animals.

They have a maximum price that the fed's can pay for real estate to build public housing. That's why public housing is in the shadows of "The Cell".

Land is $1.00 an acre on the southside.

Supply and Demand.

I hate the Cubs. Actually their fans. So smug and self righteous, pompous and arrogant. And deluded.

Loved it when they won 99 regular season games, bragged how good they were with pitching, hitting and defense.

and then GOT SWEPT IN THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!!! (3 errors in one inning can be a killer)

Hoping for the hat-trick this year.

Am I sick?

As a youngster, I was a Sox fan. Later a Cub fan.

Today, I couldn't care less whether either team wins or loses. I still go out to the ball parks to relax. I loved it when the Cubs were constantly in the cellar and only 10,000 people showed up. By the 2nd inning, I was seated in the boxes right behind the dugout.

I rarely gamble. If there's no money in my pocket, why should I really care how any sports team performs? In the grand scheme of things, so what. Am I wrong?

I still get out to a few games a year for the therapy of relaxing in a small crowd on a sunny weekday and watching the finer points of the game.

I still enjoy NCAA college football. When it comes to da Bears and the NFL, the huge salaries take away from the magic. Not that I don't love to see Devon Hester go coast-to-coast on a kick.

What's the difference between a cellular phone and cellular field?


Sometimes your cellular phone is busy!


Why don't they teach sex education and drivers education to Whie Sox fans on the same day?


It's too hard on the donkey!


Who has the most productive days at White Sox home games?


Parole Officers


Who pays for most White Sox home game tickets?


Public Assistance


Last but not least,

Who is the biggest White Sox fan?

DA MAYOR.........enough said.

"A student of proctology is in the morgue one day after classes, getting a little practice in before the final exams. He goes over to a table where a body is lying face down. He uncovers the sheet over the body, and to his surprise he finds a cork in the corpse's rectum. Figuring that this is fairly unusual, he pulls the cork out, and to his surprise, the rectum starts singing, "Hey Chicago what do you say... the Cubs are gonna" The student is amazed, and places the cork back in the backside. The music stops. Totally freaked out, the student calls the Medical Examiner over to the corpse. "Look at this, this is really something," the student tells the examiner as he pulls the cork back out again. "Hey Chicago what do you say... the Cubs are gonna" So what? " the Medical Examiner replies, obviously unimpressed with the students discovery. "But isn't that the most amazing thing you've ever seen?" asked the student. Are you kidding?" replied the Examiner, "I've heard thousands of assholes sing that stupid song.."
