No Baseball Today

I went to Chicago today (with Schwartz) for a conference and planned to see the Cubs/Mets game after we landed. Unfortunately, thanks to the weather, the plane was late coming into STL and late getting into Chicago. On top of that, there was a fight on the L between a crack addict/prostitute and her dealer/pimp. No lie. She sat on his lap, repeatedly elbowed him in the face and kept screaming, "Give me my f***ing money!" Again, no lie. At the Diversey stop, the CTA conductor stopped to involve the police and the dealer/pimp took off and left the crack addict/prostitute to fend for hoself. In the meantime, we sat on the tracks for 10-15 minutes and waited. The cops never showed while we were there, but they finally got the train going again. Once and for all, no lie.
