Was it in Spanish? Nay.

I think Aramis dropped a "get the [expletive] out of here" as he was watching it.

LULZ WHUT

Hoff started. He was pulled for defense in the 8th.

Join the Kevin Gregg mercy movement, Miles. There's plenty of room.

GIVE IT TO THE GUZ.

I love you, Kevin Gregg.

HOOOO-AH!

FINISH HIM.

Yessssssss. You can do this, Gregg.

Nuts.

I'd rather have Guzman pitching now.

The only thing that could Marmol better is if he went and kicked Cotts' ass.

Marmol, let me have your many babies.

Maybe he chopped the suck off, too. Oh, wait. This is reality. Dammit.

Oh, joy. Cotts is up.

HOLY [expletive] [expletive].

My heart is stopping every time Tyrus puts up those shots.

Nope.

OH LAWDY WE IN FOR IT NOW.

Holy crap, that throw was perfect.

Nicely done, Lee.

Nicely minimized. Now get that run back.

Turns out I was quite wrong, This is the most segregated city But just as I suspected, Chicago isn't even in the top five. It took me all of 30 key strokes to find this out. Can we put this nonsense to bed now? It's not nonsense. It's a well-established historical and sociological idea. Like I said, look at how many links have Chicago at the top. I never said all studies would have Chicago at the top. If the city has fallen from the top in recent years (even though I know many studies and experts still feel it's up there), hey great...that doesn't erase the better part of a century where it was the most visibly segregated major city in America. The social rammifications of such a situation doesnt just vanish. You're ignoring all the other links for the sake of one (from 2002) that backs up your point. Take this for what it's worth, but I took some education classes at Marquette, where they emphasize urban education. I believe I remember hearing that, depending on the year, that Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Detroit are the most segregated. Again, that's just going off of memory, but the professor taught in both St. Louis and Milwaukee. As for Chicago, there is no doubt in my mind that we are 'up there,' if only historically. But I'd make the argument that the larger the city, the more likely it is to make the segregation list. Again, just a theory, but it seems like a product of the system. It wouldn't surprise me if Chicago has fallen off the top, but from the 1920's up into the 1990's it was typically the undisputed champ. My point is that even if it's not at the very top, it's still incredibly segregated (I can't imgine anyone who has been here or lived here would deny that) and that its history as arguably THE most segregated major American city for the betetr part of a century is going to define its racial dynamics to this day. I guess we're coming down to dueling urban history classes, since mine have typically talked about Chicago as being at the top during the 20th Century.

I really don't know why you're acting like this is some insulting revelation. Chicago has never made any effort to hide how segregated it is, and this goes beyond just blacks and whites.
