Happy Crosstown “Rivalry” weekend, everyone! It’s a battle for the ages as we head to the bad side of the tracks to take on the suddenly-overachieving White Sox in what is sure to be the most exciting series since we did this series a couple of weeks ago. Your Roundup tips are the only things that make me want to wake up in the morning.
- What if you score five runs a series like we do?

- I’m on a highway to where?
- Is there anything duct tape can’t do?
- Venus during the day with the naked eye. I WANT TO BELIEVE.

- Great moments in sports history…reenacted.
- Vote for Webb! (HT: Tom Trebelhorn)
- The 20 Worst Something Somethings. (HT: Ned Ryerson) The 20 Worst Names are outstanding.

- NIGHTMARE FUEL OF THE WEEK: SPIDER CRAB!
Oh, and here’s some bonus nightmare fuel with horrifying animal hybrids! - FEED READ OF THE WEEK: Rejected New Yorker cartoons. (HT: Weebs)
That’s it for me, folks. I’m posing for a bobblehead depicting me doing my taxes in a John Deere hat. Enjoy the weekend games. I mean the USA World Cup, of course. Who the hell would enjoy OUR games?
