The Zodiac Killer PART ONE! (My favorite Serial Killer)

MY FIRST INDIVIDUAL PROFILE ON MY STUDY OF SERIAL KILLERS IS GONNA BE MY FAVORITE SERIAL KILLER OF ALL TIME. THIS IS A MAN WHO TOYED WITH THE PUNK ASS POLICE FOR YEARS AND YEARS. HE BASICALLY TOOK A SHIT RIGHT IN THEIR FACE AND NEVER GOT CAUGHT…HE IS THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT, MAYBE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF JACC THE RIPPER…HE IS THE GREAT….ZODIAC KILLER!!!!

The Zodiac Killer
The Zodiac Killer is one of the great unsolved serial killer mysteries of all time, taking only second place to Jack the Ripper. Even though police investigated over 2,500 potential suspects, the case was never officially solved. There were a few suspects that stood out, but the forensic technology of the times was not advanced enough to nail any one of them conclusively.
This October, 1966 killing began a ghoulish series of murders that panicked the people of the San Francisco area. For years the Zodiac taunted the police with weird ciphers, phone calls, insulting and cryptic messages. Before it was all over, this clever and diabolical killer changed the lives of eight people, only two of whom lived to tell the tale. On the night of Sunday, October 30, 1966, long before anyone was to hear of the Zodiac, an 18-year-old student named Cheri Jo Bates was brutally murdered near the parking lot of Riverside City College's library annex. Neither rape nor robbery seemed to have been a motive, as her clothes were undisturbed and her purse was present and intact. After disabling her lime green Volkswagen by pulling out the distributor coil and the condenser, then disconnecting the middle wire of the distributor, the zodiac killer had apparently waited for Bates to return to her car and try to start it, whereupon he made a pretense of unsuccessfully tinkering with the engine. After this ruse, and probably with the offer of a ride, he lured her into a dark, unpaved driveway between two empty houses owned by the college, where they spent approximately an hour and a half. Exactly what they did during this time is uncertain, but eventually the man attacked her, slashing her three times in the chest area, once in the back, and seven times across the throat. Police determined that the murder weapon was a small knife with a blade about 3 1/2" long by 1/2" wide, but the wounds to Bates' throat were so deep and brutal as to nearly decapitate her, severing her larynx, jugular vein, and carotid artery. She had also been choked, beaten, and slashed about the face. Found about ten feet from Bates' body was a paint-spattered man's Timex watch with a broken 7" wristband, stopped at around 12:23, which one source claims was later traced to a military PX in England. The paint was analyzed, and was found to be common exterior house paint. Also found at the scene were the heel-print from a shoe that appeared to be close to size 10, as well as hair, blood, and skin tissue found in the victim's hands and beneath her fingernails. Greasy, unidentified palm and fingerprints were also found in and on her car, about 200 feet away. Although the library closed at 9:00 p.m. (and books found in her car verify that she had been inside before then), two separate witnesses reported hearing an "awful scream" at around 10:30, followed by "a muted scream, and then a loud sound like an old car being started up" about two minutes later. This time matches an estimation given by the coroner, and is generally accepted as the time of her death. Judging by these details, the murder of Cheri Jo Bates would appear to be nothing more mysterious than a particularly vicious crime of passion, committed perhaps by a spurned suitor, an ex-boyfriend, or a subject somehow linked to Miss Bates. Certainly, the simple fact that Bates spent over an hour in the dark with the man who murdered her suggests that she knew and trusted him enough to converse more than casually. It was not until almost exactly one month after the attack that the case approached a bizarre new level.

The First Letter
On November 29, 1966, carbon copies of an anonymous letter were mailed to the Riverside Police and the Riverside Enterprise. Typed using a portable Royal typewriter with either Pica or Elite typeface, it was entitled "The Confession," and carried a "byline" that consisted of the word "BY" followed by twelve underscores. Both copies were on low-quality white paper eight inches wide and torn at the top and bottom so as to be roughly squarish, and had been sent unstamped and with no return address from a secluded rural mailbox. Presumably, the author planned on the letters being sent by Postage Due mail. At least one of the details referred to in this letter had not been made public, and at the time, investigators agreed that it was most likely genuine, though this opinion has changed over the years. This confession has been double-spaced to make reading easier.

SHE WAS YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL BUT NOW SHE IS BATTERED AND DEAD. SHE IS NOT THE FIRST AND SHE WILL NOT BE THE LAST I LAY AWAKE NIGHTS THINKING ABOUT MY NEXT VICTIM. MAYBE SHE WILL BE THE BEAUTIFUL BLOND THAT BABYSITS NEAR THE LITTLE STORE AND WALKS DOWN THE DARK ALLEY EACH EVENING ABOUT SEVEN. OR MAYBE SHE WILL BE THE SHAPELY BRUNETT THAT SAID XXX NO WHEN I ASKED HER FOR A DATE IN HIGH SCHOOL. BUT MAYBE IT WILL NOT BE EITHER. BUT I SHALL CUT OFF HER FEMALE PARTS AND DEPOSIT THEM FOR THE WHOLE CITY TO SEE. SO DON'T MAKE IT TO EASY FOR ME. KEEP YOUR SISTERS, DAUGHTERS, AND WIVES OFF THE STREETS AND ALLEYS. MISS BATES WAS STUPID. SHE WENT TO THE SLAUGHTER LIKE A LAMB. SHE DID NOT PUT UP A STRUGGLE. BUT I DID. IT WAS A BALL. I FIRST CUT THE MIDDLE WIRE FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR. THEN I WAITED FOR HER IN THE LIBRARY AND FOLLOWED HER OUT AFTER ABOUT TWO MINUTES. THE BATTERY MUST HAVE BEEN ABOUT DEAD BY THEN. I THEN OFFERED TO HELP. SHE WAS THEN VERY WILLING TO TALK TO ME. I TOLD HER THAT MY CAR WAS DOWN THE STREET AND THAT I WOULD GIVE HER A LIFT HOME. WHEN WE WERE AWAY FROM THE LIBRARY WALKING, I SAID IT WAS ABOUT TIME. SHE ASKED ME, "ABOUT TIME FOR WHAT?" I SAID IT WAS ABOUT TIME FOR HER TO DIE. I GRABBED HER AROUND THE NECK WITH MY HAND OVER HER MOUTH AND MY OTHER HAND WITH A SMALL KNIFE AT HER THROAT. SHE WENT VERY WILLINGLY. HER BREAST FELT WARM AND VERY FIRM UNDER MY HANDS, BUT ONLY ONE THING WAS ON MY MIND. MAKING HER PAY FOR ALL THE BRUSH OFFS THAT SHE HAD GIVEN ME DURING THE YEARS PRIOR. SHE DIED HARD. SHE SQUIRMED AND SHOOK AS I CHOCKED HER, AND HER LIPS TWICHED. SHE LET OUT A SCREAM ONCE AND I KICKED HER IN THE HEAD
TO SHUT HER UP. I PLUNGED THE KNIFE INTO HER AND IT BROKE. I THEN FINISHED THE JOB BY CUTTING HER THROAT. I AM NOT SICK. I AM INSANE. BUT THAT WILL NOT STOP THE GAME. THIS LETTER SHOULD BE PUBLISHED FOR ALL TO READ IT. IT JUST MIGHT SAVE THAT GIRL IN THE ALLEY. BUT THAT'S UP TO YOU. IT WILL BE ON YOUR CONSCIENCE. NOT MINE. YES, I DID MAKE THAT CALL TO YOU ALSO. IT WAS JUST A WARNING. BEWARE...I AM STALKING YOUR GIRLS NOW

Neither envelope bore a complete address; they were handwritten with a felt-tip pen in the following manner.Daily EnterpriseRiverside CalifAttn: CrimeHomicide DetailRiversideOne fingerprint was found on the envelope sent to the RPD Homicide Detail, but it has never been matched to a suspect, and whether it was left by the author, a postman, or a police officer is unknown. The killer's claim that "she did not put up a struggle" was contradicted by the numerous defense wounds on her hands and arms, as well as by the flesh and hair found beneath Bates' fingernails. While a contemporaneous newspaper report reflects uncertainty as to whether the knife actually broke in her body, no evidence of this event is reported in the autopsy report, and more recent pronouncements from RPD detectives are unanimous that the knife did not break. Bates' car had indeed been sabotaged in the manner described, which had not been fully revealed by the news media. The phone call that is referred to near the end of the letter has never been elaborated on by authorities, though researcher Tom Voigt suggests that it was placed to the Riverside Press, rather than the police, and so went misunderstood and ignored. The letters were delivered on the same day they were posted. The next day, November 30th, both the Enterprise and the local police submitted their copies to the Riverside County Postal Inspector, who in turn notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Murder is not a federal crime, but extortion through the mail is, and the FBI briefly considered joining the investigation under this pretense. However, since no specific victim of extortion was named or alluded to, there would be no federal aid in the investigation. In an unexplained turn of events, what appears to be a photocopy of the "Confession" was attached to an FBI report declassified in the 1990s, but the typescript and number of words per line are different from those in the well-known copy that appears in a photograph of the letter lying either on a detective's or a reporter's desk.

Bates Had To Die
On the six-month anniversary of Bates' death, the Riverside Press, the police, and the victim's father (whose name and address had appeared in the local newspaper the day after the murder) were each sent nearly identical copies of another letter, this one written in pencil on lined notepaper. Instead of a signature, two of the letters bore a symbol that resembled a letter Z joined with a numeral 3. In what would become a hallmark of the Zodiac's epistolary style, the envelopes were franked with excessive postage: in this case, they each carried two of the necessary four-cent stamps. The letters sent to the police and Press read as follows:
BATES
HAD
TO
DIE
THERE
WILL
BE
MORE
The copy without the hieroglyph signature, sent to Joseph Bates, substituted "Bates" with "She." One latent fingerprint was developed on the letter sent to the Riverside Police Department, but its origins are not known, and it has never been matched to a suspect.
In mid-April 1967, a janitor at the RCC Library discovered a poem written on the underside of a folding school desk. The desk had been in storage for an unknown period of time, but the contemporary receipt of the "Bates had to die" letters led many investigators to believe that the poem described Bates' murder and was written by her killer. Some amateurs, however, have noted that the style and tone of the letter indicate otherwise: one compelling theory is that that an unrelated student penned it following an unsuccessful suicide attempt. The handwriting is of debatable resemblance to the three "Bates" notes or any other Zodiac printing and the date of its origin is unclear, so the entire issue remains open to interpretation.
The poem read:
Sick of living/
unwilling to diecut.
clean.
if red /
clean.
blood spurting,
dripping,
spilling;
all over her newdress
oh wellit was redanyway.
life draining into anuncertain death.
she won'tdie.
this timesomeone ll find her.
just wait tillnext time.
rh
The cryptic signature, "rh," may have been a reference to RCC's President at the time, R. H. Bradshaw.

Speculation
In the wake of Bates' murder, Riverside Police worked the case under the assumption that Bates knew her killer, or at least that the killer knew her. They even identified a likely suspect from a pool of viable candidates, an ex-boyfriend bitter over their breakup and resentful of her blossoming relationship with a football player. The RPD maintains a local man as their prime suspect in the murder, and in December of 1998 even went so far as to secure a warrant for samples of this man's hair, skin, and saliva, which were sent to the FBI crime lab to be checked against the evidence found at the scene. The FBI completed this analysis, but it did not implicate their local suspect as the killer. When the Zodiac case exploded into national news in the fall of 1969, though, RPD Chief L.T. Kinkead nevertheless sent a 3-page synopsis of the local murder and the events that followed to investigators in Napa and San Francisco, a letter that seems to have been largely ignored. It wasn't until Paul Avery of the San Francisco Chronicle initiated a 1970 meeting between these investigators that they began to consider the elusive Bay Area serial killer as a possible culprit, though even then RPD Captain Irwin Cross "expressed doubt that the Zodiac [was] responsible". Despite the stylistic similarities between the aftermath of Cheri Jo Bates' murder and the linked murders that would later take place in the San Francisco Bay Area, the current opinion of the Riverside Police Department and most other investigators is that the Riverside and Bay Area episodes were not related. Opinion is split, however, as to who authored the 1966 and 1967 documents, and whether they were even written by the same person. The murder of Cheri Jo Bates remains controversial and there is no evidence to definitively exclude the Zodiac as the killer.

Vallejo
Solano County Sheriff's Office Case #V-25564
Vallejo Police Department Case #243146

Vallejo and Benicia lie just north of the San Pablo Bay and the Carquinez Strait, about 20 miles northeast of San Francisco. In the late 1960s, the area abutting the two rough-and-tumble, working-class cities was practically uninhabited, and even now only a few paved surfaces cross the barren expanses of southern Solano County above the Vallejo-Benicia Freeway. One of these is Lake Herman Road, running from eastern Vallejo to northern Benicia by way of the unincorporated area between them. As early as 9:00 p.m. on Friday, December 20, 1968, a light-colored hardtop four-door, possibly a Chevrolet Impala, was seen parked near the gated entrance to the pumping station off Lake Herman Road just east of Lake Herman. The same car was also seen there at about 10:00 by a different witness. Between these two sightings, a young man and his girlfriend were parked in the same spot when a car heading west toward Vallejo slowed to a stop several yards past their car, then began to slowly back up toward them. The car gave them both such a bad feeling that they immediately pulled out of the gravelly area and drove off toward Benicia. The other car followed them until the first exit, which they took, watching the stranger continue east on Lake Herman Road. At 11:10 p.m., David Arthur Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen were parked in the same place when they were shot to death near Faraday's brown Rambler. Having told Betty Lou's parents that they were going to a Christmas concert, they had instead driven to the isolated lover's lane and had been there for less than an hour when someone pulled in with them, exited his vehicle, and began firing into their car. The killer was armed with either a .22 caliber rifle or, more likely, a handgun loaded with .22 LR ammunition. From light footprints and ballistic evidence, it appeared that the killer started from behind the car, shooting out the right rear window, then the left rear tire, then coming around to the front left. The two teenagers scrambled out the passenger's side door.
Jensen, 16, left the car alive and must have started to run toward the road; her body was found less than 30 feet from the rear bumper. The shot pattern — five rounds along the right side of her back, ranging from the space between the fifth and sixth ribs all the way down to the pelvis —suggested that the killer was either competent with firearms or had fired into her body as she lay wounded by a previous shot, as a coroner's report states that the shots had come from no more than 10 feet away. In any case, the grouping does not indicate marksman-like accuracy, or even the great degree of skill that is often attributed to the killer due to this particular murder, especially considering that two rounds missed the wounded girl as she fled.
Faraday was killed by a single close-range bullet to the head; researcher Mike R. of NJ points out that the position of Faraday's body, with the boy's feet by the rear wheel and his head pointing away from the front of the car at an angle of about 45 degrees, suggests that he was not killed while climbing out of the door but rather while standing by the right rear wheel. All told, 10 shots were fired, but only eight rounds were accounted for. The entire episode was over in a few heartbeats, and the killer left the scene immediately upon its conclusion. This was determined by an almost minute-by-minute time line put together from the statements of several witnesses driving by the area between 9:00 p.m. and 11:15 p.m. One of these witnesses, Stella Borges, may even have seen the killer's car, described as a light-colored Chevrolet, headed toward Benicia just before she discovered Jensen's and Faraday's bodies. Despite the best efforts of Solano County Sheriff's Det. Sgt. Les Lundblad, assistance from half a dozen local law enforcement agencies, and a reward fund set up by students at the victims' high schools, no killer was ever identified. As author Robert Graysmith grimly noted in his seminal book, ZODIAC, "There were no witnesses, no motives, and no suspects".

STUDY OF SERIAL KILLERS #1

Monsters or Victims? What They Are and Who They Kill
"It was an urge. ... A strong urge, and the longer I let it go the stronger it got, to where I was taking risks to go out and kill people — risks that normally, according to my little rules of operation, I wouldn't take because they could lead to arrest." — Edmund Kemper
Where does this urge come from, and why is so powerful? If we all experienced this urge, would we be able to resist? Is it genetic, hormonal, biological, or cultural conditioning? Do serial killers have any control over their desires? We all experience rage and inappropriate sexual instincts, yet we have some sort of internal cage that keeps our inner monsters locked up. Call it morality or social programming; these internal blockades have long since been trampled down in the psychopathic killer. Not only have they let loose the monster within, they are virtual slaves to its beastly appetites. What sets them apart? Serial killers have tested out a number of excuses for their behavior. Henry Lee Lucas blamed his upbringing; others like Jeffrey Dahmer say that they were born with a "part" of them missing. Ted Bundy claimed pornography made him do it. Herbert Mullin, Santa Cruz killer of thirteen, blamed the voices in his head that told him it was time to "sing the die song." The ruthless Carl Panzram swore that prison turned him into a monster, while Bobby Joe Long said a motorcycle accident made him hypersexual and eventually a serial lust killer. The most psychopathic, like John Wayne Gacy, turned the blame around and boasted that the victims deserved to die. They must be insane — what normal person could slaughter another human, for the sheer pleasure of it? Yet the most chilling fact about serial killers is that they are rational and calculating. As the "British Jeffrey Dahmer" Dennis Nilsen put it, "a mind can be evil without being abnormal." Before we look at who they are, we must first describe what they are. The FBI defines serial murder as:
-A minimum of three to four victims, with a "cooling off" period in between;
-The killer is usually a stranger to the victim — the murders appear unconnected or random;
-The murders reflect a need to sadistically dominate the victim;
-The murder is rarely "for profit"; the motive is psychological, not material;
-The victim may have "symbolic" value for the killer; method of killing may reveal this meaning;
Killers often choose victims who are vulnerable (prostitutes, runaways, etc.)
Statistically, the average serial killer is a white male from a lower-to-middle-class background, usually in his twenties or thirties. Many were physically or emotionally abused by parents. Some were adopted. As children, fledgling serial killers often set fires, torture animals, and wet their beds (these red-flag behaviors are known as the "triad" of symptoms.) Brain injuries are common. Some are very intelligent and have shown great promise as successful professionals. They are also fascinated with the police and authority in general. They have either attempted to become police themselves but were rejected, worked as security guards, or served in the military. Many, including John Gacy, the Hillside Stranglers, andTed Bundy, have disguised themselves as law enforcement officials to gain access to their victims.

Why Are They So Difficult to Spot?

Getting Away with Murder
We think we can spot lunacy, that a maniac with uncontrollable urges to kill will be unable to contain himself. On the bus, in the street, it is the mentally ill we avoid, sidestepping the disheveled, unshaven man who rants on over some private outrage. Yet if you intend to avoid the path of a serial killer, your best strategy is to sidestep the charming, the impeccably dressed, polite individuals. They blend in, camouflaged in contemporary anonymity. They lurk in churches and malls, and prowl the freeways and streets. "Dress him in a suit and he looks like ten other men," said one attorney in describing Dahmer. Like all evolved predators, they know how to stalk their victims by gaining their trust. Serial killers don't wear their hearts on their sleeves. Instead, they hide behind a carefully constructed facade of normalcy.
Mask of Sanity Because of their psychopathic nature, serial killers do not know how to feel sympathy for others, or even how to have relationships. Instead, they learn to simulate normal behavior by observing others. It is all a manipulative act, designed to entice people into their trap. Serial killers are actors with a natural penchant for performance. Henry Lee Lucas described being a serial killer as "being like a movie-star ... you're just playing the part." The macabre Gacy loved to dress up as a clown, while the Zodiac suited up in a bizarre executioner's costume that looked like something out of Alice in Wonderland. In court, Bundy told the judge, "I'm disguised as an attorney today." Bundy had previously "disguised" himself as a compassionate rape crisis center counselor. The most coveted role of roaming psychopaths is a position of authority. Gacy was an active, outgoing figure in business and society; he even became a member of the Jaycees. Many joined the military, including Berkowitz, who was intensely patriotic for a time. Playing police officer, however, is the most predictable. Carrying badges and driving coplike vehicles not only feeds their need to feel important, but also allows them access to victims who would otherwise trust their instincts and not talk to strangers.
Yet, when they are caught, serial killer wills suddenly assume a "mask of insanity" — pretending to be a multiple personality, schizophrenic, or prone to black-outs — anything to evade responsibility. Even when they pretend to truly reveal themselves, they are still locked into playing a role. What nameless dread lies behind the psychopath's mask? "What's one less person on the face of the earth anyway?" Ted Bundy’s chilling rationalization demonstrates the how serial killers truly think. "Bundy could never understand why people couldn't accept the fact that he killed because he wanted to kill," said one FBI investigator.

What Makes a Serial Killer Tick?
Just as these killers rip open their victims to "see how they run" (as Ed Kemper put it), forensic psychiatrists and FBI agents have tried to get inside the killer's mind. Traditional explanations include childhood abuse, genetics, chemical imbalances, brain injuries, exposure to traumatic events, and perceived societal injustices. The frightening implication is that a huge population has been exposed to one or more of these traumas. Is there some sort of lethal concoction that sets serial killers apart from the rest of the population? We believe that we have control over our impulses — no matter how angry we get, there is something that stops us from taking our aggressions out on others. Do serial killers lack a moral safety latch? Or are they being controlled by something unfathomable? "I wished I could stop but I could not. I had no other thrill or happiness," said Dennis Nilsen, who wondered if he was truly evil. Serial killers are undeniably sick, and their numbers seem to be growing. Are we in the midst of a serial killer "epidemic," as Joel Norris describes it? If this is a disease, what is the cure?

Family Tree
Are Serial Killers Truly the 20th Century Bogeymen?
Is it our modern times that creates them, or have they been in operation before we classified them as a phenomenon? Although the term "serial killer" was coined in 1971, early fables of human/monsters reveals that there has always been danger in straying too far, or in accepting the help of strangers. The carnivorous characters in Grimm's Fairy tales become vivid metaphors of human bloodlust. Gruesome stories of Bluebeards and their bloody chambers, big bad wolves, trolls under the bridge and witches in the forest, all of whom make meals out of unsuspecting innocents, remind us of our contemporary monsters. These cautionary tales may represent an early, pre-psychological way of understanding the sadistic side of human nature.
Wolfmen "Lycanthropy," a combination of the Greek words "wolf" and "man", was another early concept created to describe the horror of senseless sexual murder. In The A-Z Encyclopedia of Serial Killers Harold Schechter and David Everitt describe the lycanthropic madman as sexual predators who terrorized 16th century peasant villages, so much that the authorities "regarded it as one of the most pressing social problems of the day." Among the most notorious of these medieval "wolfmen" was Gilles Garnier of France, and the German Peter Stubbe, both of whom attacked children, ripping them apart and cannibalizing them. Stubbe even went so far as to savagely mutilate his own son, gnawing at his brain. The wolfman myth is still popular today — we still hear how a full moon can bring out the crazies. Albert Fish, the notorious cannibal killer of children, was called the "Werewolf of Wisteria," and enjoyed dancing naked in the full moon. Other lunar lunatics include Ed Gein, who also frolicking in the moonlight, dressed in his mothersuit made from the skin of women. Unlike Gein, Bobby Joe Long did not appreciate being adorned in female body parts — at puberty he had his abnormally enlarged breasts surgically removed. Even after the operation, Long claimed to be affected by the moon's cycles through his own bizarre "menstrual" cycle.

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hydes
The 19th century gave rise to another chilling predecessor to the serial killer's persona — Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Robert Louis Stevenson created a literary man/monster who embodied the Divided Self — appearing civilized and rational on the outside, while inside a wretched brute struggled to break loose. One of the most intriguing peculiarities of serial killers is their benign, "Dr. Jekyll" appearance. They look and behave like everyman or any man — "abnormally normal", as Mark Seltzer says. If they come across as potentially dangerous in any way, they will neutralize it in their behavior. The imposing 6'9'' Edmund Kemper cultivated a "gentle giant" routine, which helped him to lure female hitchhikers into his car. The charming Ted Bundy wore a cast, looking meekly pathetic, and asked for help. The young women who gave him a hand must have thought of it as a random act of kindness. What resulted was a senseless act of murder. The notorious Gacy entertained hospitalized children in his Pogo the Clown costume. "You know, clowns get away with murder," he once said. Gacy used rope tricks from his performance to strangle unsuspecting young men, who thought the worst they would have to endure would be some hokey entertainment. With many serial killers, the hidden Hyde comes out only after the victim is lulled into complacency.

Frankensteins
As a man obsessed with recreating a human being from dead body parts, Mary Shelley's Dr. Frankenstein was seeking the same ultimate power of creation as God Himself. While Dr. Frankenstein attempted to compose a man, our modern day Dr. Frankensteins are more gifted in the decomposing arts. Jeffrey Dahmer and Dennis Nilsen both tried to create companionship in corpses. Dahmer operated on his victims, hoping for his own love-zombie who would never stray. In his own attempts to create the perfect companion, Nilsen said, "I think that in some cases I killed these men in order to create the best image of them. ... It was not really a bad but a perfect and peaceful state for them to be in" (As if he were doing them a favor!) "I remember being thrilled that I had full control and ownership of this beautiful body," he mused. Many believe that Ed Gein was attempting to reconstruct his mother by stealing body parts from a nearby cemetery.

Vampires
And of course, one of the most popular monster monikers for serial killers is "vampire." In Gothic drama, vampires represented the repressed sexuality of straitlaced Victorian society, creatures of the night driven by beastly desires. The vampire motif is so frequent that we see localized vampires ("The Vampire of Dusseldorf" Peter Kurten; "The Vampire of Hanover" Fritz Haarmann; "The Vampire of Sacramento" Richard Chase.) Kurten claimed that his "chief satisfaction in killing was to catch the blood spurting from a victim's wounds in his mouth and swallow it." Another deeply demented vampire killer,John Haigh, claimed that disturbing dreams created his unquenchable thirst for human blood: "I saw before me a forest of crucifixes, which gradually turned into trees. ... Suddenly the whole forest began to writhe and the trees, stark and erect, to ooze blood. ... A man went to each tree catching the blood ... 'Drink,' he said.

The WORST RECORD in the NL is a tie between the WASHINGTON NATIONALS and the SAN DIEGO PADRES 44-72.

PRO WRESTLING
WWE releases Shannon Moore. Mick Foley says that when his contract expires on September 1st, he will not be re-signed. The WWE also announced the releases of Nunzio, James Curtis, Domino, Big Daddy V, and Referee Nick Patrick. WOW. I already gave the Smaccdown taping results for tonight, so I feel no need to post them again.
I do wanna give a shout out to Mike Siciliano. I read his columns on pro wrestling everytime he publishes one. I even frequent his blog. He is a hell of a writer and someone I respect when it comes to his pro wrestling knowledge. Keep up tha good work Mike.

TAPINGS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT SMACCDOWN TO BE AIRED ON AUGUST 8, 2008!!!!
The following took place on Tuesday in Atlanta, GA.

Dark Match: - R-Truth defeated Kenny Dykstra.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown Tapings for August 8:-

Jim Ross and Tazz handled commentary this week. Mick Foley was off the show selling the angle from last week.

- Victoria, Natalya & Maryse defeated WWE Divas Champion Michelle McCool, Maria & Cherry.

- Bam Neely was shown taken out in the back with a black rose on him.

- WWE Tag Team Champions Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder defeated Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore.

- Jeff Hardy vs. MVP is announced for SummerSlam.

- Jeff Hardy defeated WWE U.S. Champion Shelton Benjamin via DQ when MVP interfered.

- They did an arm wrestling match between Triple H and The Great Khali involving broken glass. Triple H was about to put Khali's hand in the glass when Khali headbutted Triple H and then applied the Vice Grip. Triple H was helped to the back.

- Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder were also shown laid out in the back with black roses. Chavo and Vickie think Edge is the one responsible.

- Vladimir Kozlov defeated Jesse.

- The Brian Kendrick defeated Super Crazy.

- Edge shows up and Chavo and Vickie are upset with him. Edge said they have to show unity against anyone trying to take out La Familia.

- Edge, Chavo and Vickie go the ring to call out The Undertaker. Edge then turns on Chavo and shoves Vickie out of her wheelchair.

MY THOUGHTS: THIS WAS A BETTER SHOW THAN LAST WEEK. I LIKE THE WAY EDGE IS GOING AND SAYING FUCC LA FAMILIA. EDGE IS GONNA OBVIOUSLY GET MORE AGGRESSIVE, WHICH IS THE EDGE THAT I LIKE TO SEE. THE GREAT KHALI VS TRIPLE H MATCH IS GARBAGE. THE BEST THING GOING ON SMACCDOWN RIGHT NOW IS JEFF HARDY VS MVP. THAT FEUD IS DOMINATING THE SHOW. I DO THINK THAT EDGE VS TAKER IN THE HELL IN A CELL COULD BE THE MATCH OF THE YEAR WHEN IT HAPPENS AT SUMMERSLAM.

An update on tha King

8/5/08

What a wild 2008 so far after an even crazier 2007. As of right now as I approach my 28^th birthday on the 29^th of this month, I can honestly say that life gets crazier and crazier each and every year. Most of yall that know me know that right now, I am living the family life with my fionce and her five children. Of course, Ive had my critics on that decision since this is the same relationship that has put me in jail twice this year and almost once last year. Well, when it comes to my critics, I can honestly say this…If I didn’t wanna be here or consider it some-what worth it, I wouldn’t be here. Right? Think about it people.

Right now in my life, I got a lot of different options that I am thinking about. I am considering taking college courses in journalism and writing. I think I wouldn’t mind taking that all the way and becoming a sports writer if at all possible along with an accomplished novelist. As many of you know, I have written NINE novels and am currently working on my TENTH. Obviously, with that added to my music ability and opportunities, there are a few options. As many of you know, I am part of the FUTURE. Tha greatest organization to ever touch the music scene…BOSS GANG RECORDS. Right now, currently C-Bo presents Kavio “Hittas on tha Payroll” is in stores EVERYWHERE for Boss Gang Records/West Coast Mafia. That album has sold very well nationwide. Of course, many of you know about the Boss Gang “Kavio” edition shoe that will be released in 2009 along with the Boss Gang Compilation Album entitled “Checcmate”. Ive already heard some of the traccz that are going to be used and trust me…THEY ARE HOT AS FUCC! We are definatly killin tha game wit this one. You’ll see. I am getting bacc into my sports gambling as well…The way I see it is that I can pull enough money this way, I wont have to see a 9-5 ever again. Im fa real. Im not really wanting to work a 9-5 anymore. However, I may step bacc into my role as manager at the telemarketing company on the night shift. It is something that is definatly in the works, and I have no objections to doing that for a little while and using it as a stepping stone to bigger and better thangs.

To all that are concerned with my grandmother…she is doing just fine. Thank you to everyone for all of the questions and concern for my grandmother. I appreciate it.

I know that many of you are waiting on Truth and myself to post another blog and voice blog…Well, don’t worry, they will be coming very soon. We both have been extremely busy recently. With these kids over here starting school on the 11^th, I will have much more time to really focus on handling business. However, my time is important and I don’t always have the time to collab with Truth on a daily basis…Feel me?

Anyways, for now I am done…I will holla again soon.

PRO WRESTLING

TODAY I WATCHED THE BRET HART DVD: THE BEST THERE IS, WAS, AND EVER WILL BE. NOW, FOR MANY OF YALL THAT DO KNOW WHERE I STAND ON PRO WRESTLING, THERE HAVE BEEN TWO TRUE GREATS…1) RIC FLAIR AND 2) BRET HART…SO, THIS DVD MEANT A LOT MORE TO ME CONSIDERING I JUST WATCHED THE RIC FLAIR DVD A FEW DAYS AGO. SO, I WILL POST A FEW RANDOM NOTES AS I WATCH THE DVD…

1) BRET HART’S EARLY MATCHES WITH HIS FAVORITE WRESTLER, THE DYNAMITE KID WAS THE GREATEST EVER.

2) HE WAS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS WITH HIS BROTHER, KEITH HART.

3) HIS FIRST MAJOR TITLE WAS WHEN HE WON THE NORTH AMERICAN TITLE!

4) HE HAD A HELL OF A FEUD WITH BAD NEWS ALLEN (BROWN) FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE!

5) BRET EVEN HAD TAG TEAM MATCHES WITH HIS FATHER, THE LEGENDARY STU HART.

6) WHEN STU LOST HIS COMPANY TO THE WWF, BRET HART WENT TO WRESTLE IN JAPAN.

7) IN THE BEGINNING, VINCE WAS AFTER BRET HART, DAVEY BOY SMITH, AND THE DYNAMITE KID

8) HIS FIRST WWF MATCH WAS AGAINST STEVE LOMBARDI

9) THEY WANTED BRET HART TO BE “COWBOY” BRET HART…JIM NEIDHART LAUGHED AND LAUGHED ABOUT IT, WHICH EVENTUALLY LED BRET HART TO THINKING THE GIMMICC WAS SILLY. THAT LED TO THE FORMATION OF THE HART FOUNDATION.

10) HART FOUNDATION VS BRITISH BULLDOGS WAS BEST TAG FEUD EVER…JUST LIKE BRET VS DYNAMITE.

11) BRET KNEW THAT HE NEEDED TO BREAK AWAY TO BECOME SINGLES STAR

12) HE SAID HE WAS WAY BETTER THAN THE WARRIOR!! LOL!

13) BRET BEAT MR. PERFECT TO WIN THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE FOR THE FIRST TIME!

15) PIPER SAID THAT IN 17 ½ YEARS, NO ONE HAD PINNED PIPERS SHOULDERS TO THE MAT UNTIL THAT NIGHT!

16) THE WWF REALIZED THAT BRET COULD BE WORLD CHAMPION AFTER HIS MATCH WITH BULLDOG AT WEMBLY STADIUM.

17) BRET BEAT LEGENDARY RIC FLAIR TO BECOME THE WORLD CHAMPION FOR THE 1^ST TIME IS SASKATOON, WHICH WAS ALSO WHERE BRET HART WRESTLED HIS VERY FIRST MATCH EVER. GOD DAMN! WHAT A MATCH!

18) WHEN BRET LOST TO YOKOZUNA AT WRESTLEMANIA 9, HE WAS 100% AGAINST HOGAN GETTING IT FROM YOKOZUNA THE SAME NIGHT.

19) THAT SAME YEAR, HE WAS KING OF THE RING. BY BEATING BAM BAM BIGELOW IN THE FINALS.

20) BRET HART CONSIDERS HIM AND HIS “GENERATION” BETTER THAN HULK HOGAN.

21) AT WRESTLEMANIA 10, BRET BEAT YOKOZUNA TO WIN THE TITLE AGAIN!

22) BRET TOOK HONOR IN LOSING THE TITLE TO BOB BACCLUND

23) OWEN HART’S JEALOUSY LED TO SOME GREAT MATCHES WITH BRET.

24) OWEN BEAT BRET ON THE SAME NIGHT THAT BRET BEAT YOKOZUNA FOR THE TITLE AT WRESTLEMANIA 10.

25) BRET SAID THAT EVEN DURING HIS TITLE RUN THAT VINCE HAD PLANNED ON “MAKING” SHAWN MICHAELS.

26) BRET SEEMED TO HAVE ALWAYS HATED SHAWN…EVEN BEFORE THE IRON MAN MATCH.

27) HIS NEXT FEUD WAS WITH STEVE AUSTIN. MANY HAVE SAID THAT THIS MATCH IS WHAT MADE STEVE AUSTIN.

28) THIS FEUD WITH AUSTIN IS WHAT TURNED BRET HART HEEL AND BEGUN THE ATTITUDE ERA IN THE WWE AND HART’S ANTI-AMERICAN GIMMICC. THIS GIMMICC LASTED ALL THE WAY UP TO SURVIVOR SERIES OF 97.

29) CONVERSATIONS BEGAN BETWEEN BRET HART AND WCW ABOUT SWITCHING COMPANIES. VINCE BELIEVED THAT BRET WAS GONNA JUMP SHIP WITH THE WWF TITLE.

30) THEN CAME THE SURVIVOR SERIES MATCH IN CANADA AGAINST THE CHALLENGER, SHAWN MICHAELS. THIS WAS THE INFAMOUS MONTREAL SCREWJOB. VINCE TOLD THE REF TO CALL THE MATCH AND ROB BRET OF THE TITLE.

ECW on Sci-Fi
Atlanta, GA
August 5th 2008
Commentators: Matt Striker & Todd Grisham

Stop “Questioning Your Heart” because it is time for ECW!

Video promo airs and we are in Atlanta, Georgia tonight. Matt Striker is filling in for Tazz tonight commentating alongside Todd Grisham.

Video recap is shown of Chavo getting disqualified in his match against Ricky Ortiz last week.

Chavo & Bam Neely v. Evan Bourne & Ricky Ortiz

Ricky and Bam start things off and Ricky proceeds to shoulder block the big man which causes Bam to roll out of the ring. Back in the ring the two exchange a few arm holds complete with plenty of spinning. Evan gets the tag in and kicks down Bam’s arm. Unfortunately he ends up in Chavo’s corner and Vicky’s nephew gets the tag. Chavo goes for a backdrop but Evan lands on his feet! Evan misses a high kick attempt but connects with a hurricarana. Evan locks in a spinning arm bar and Chavo is stranded in the middle of the ring. Evan goes for a pin attempt but no bacon. Ricky gets the tag and connects with a flying shoulder block from the second rope. According to our teacher, Matt Striker, Ricky Ortiz is the only WWE wrestler who played in the XFL. Fast fact from me to follow that up, Mike Adamle did a bit of announcing for the XFL. I’m just fool of knowledge [yes, that was a pun].

Bam gets the tag in and drops Ricky down to the mat. Ortiz gets his head slammed into the turnbuckle which is followed up by getting whipped and splashed into the turnbuckle across the ring. Bam goes for a pin but no scrapple. Chavo gets the tag in and also tries for a pin. Once that fails he locks in a side headlock. Chavo is able to escape and both men head for their partners. Bam gets the tag in and proceeds to stop Ricky from tagging in Bourne – but no! Evan gets the tag and comes flying into the ring ready to do some major damage. Bam is met with a few high kicks and then Evan climbs to the top rope. Neely turns around and Evan comes flying down double knee first and connects around Bam’s head which drives him to the mat. Bourne goes for the pin, but Chavo makes the save.

Chavo picks up Evan for a scoop slam, but Ortiz runs in for the save which allows Evan to hit a huge dropkick on Chavo. Neely follows this up with a clothesline that sends both Chavo and himself to the outside. Bam is starting to make his way up and goes for a clothesline, but Bourne ducks and rolls Bam up with a school boy pin. That was a crazy fast counter pin.

Winners via School Boy: Evan Bourne & Ricky Ortiz

Matt Striker and Todd were absolutely brilliant commentary wise during that match.

Video recap airs of Mike Knox taking out Finlay last week.

In the ring we see Mike Knox who says he is not out here to explain what he did last week. He is here to expose the fraud called Finlay. A video airs of Finlay & ‘swoggles segment in the Summerslam promo video. Knox says that Finlay use to be a real fighter in this business, but now all he does is dance around with a leprechaun.

Out comes Finlay & Hornswoggle and Finlay looks to have something to say to the heavily bearded superstar in the ring. Finlay calls Knox “Fred”, then says he doesn’t care what Knox’s name is because he says that if Knox has a problem with Finlay and his family that he should take a shot at him because Finlay may love to fight, but he also loves his family. Finlay says that he better knock him out because if not, Knox is going to find out if he’s really gone soft or not. Mike backs his way out of the ring and sheepishly makes his way up the ramp.

RAW Rebound airs highlighting the awesomeness of last night’s RAW, in particular the main event Tag Match.

****Commercial****

Armando Estrada v. Tommy Dreamer

This is Armando’s last chance to earn an ECW contract. The rating system in effect is going to be what I like to call the “arbitrary system”.

Tommy starts by throwing Estrada over his shoulder and then locks in an arm bar. Armando manages to hit a couple shoulders into Dreamer but only finds himself clotheslined over the top rope for all of his efforts. Armando gets back in the ring and is met with a reverse neckbreaker. Dreamer puts up Armando in the tree of woe, but before he can hit anything, Colin runs to ringside and grabs a chair. Dreamer goes out to confront him and Delaney leaps over the announce table to hide.

Estrada tries to hit a cheap shot on Dreamer when he reenters the ring, but fails. As soon as Dreamer’s back is turned, Colin, jumps up on the apron. Tommy grabs Colin’s head and slams it into the corner but this allows Estrada to sneak in a roll up! Armando gets the three and he finally receives his ECW contract.

Winner via Colin Delaney’s interference: Armando Estrada

So, interestingly after all that Armando put Colin through in order to get his ECW contract, it was Delaney who in the end came through and helped Estrada regain his own contract. The plot thickens.

****Commercial****

In the back Estrada is seen talking with Colin Delaney. Armando asks why Colin would ever help him after everything he put him through. Coin says that at least he gave him a chance to get a contract. Teddy Long interrupts to say that next week Tommy Dreamer will give Colin the beating of his life in an Extreme Rules Match!

Video airs recapping the Edge/Foley segment from Smackdown last Friday.

In the back, Braden Walker is seen warming up.

****Commercial****

Braden Walker v. James Curtis
The two lock it up in the ring and exchange a few arm holds. Braden hits a nice hip toss on James Curtis and then holds a long Vertical Suplex. Braden goes for the pin cover, but only gets a 1 count. Striker lets us know that James Curtis is a certified captain and sails. Then Matt makes a comment about seeing if he can sail through Braden Walker which leads Grisham to say that hopefully Curtis’ time in ECW is longer than a three hour tour. Just when I thought I would never get Adamle like comments again, thanks guys.

Braden is holding Curtis in a strong arm bar but James makes his way to the ropes and the ref breaks it up. Curtis starts wailing at the back of Walker’s head. Braden hits an atomic drop and is able to deck Curtis with a few clotheslines. Walker gets whipped into the ropes, but dodges a splash and hits a huge flying clothesline. Curtis blocks a suplex attempt and throws some hard right hands. Walker hits another clothesline and then a fisherman’s suplex which he bridges for the 3 count.

Winner via Fisherman’s Suplex: Braden Walker

****Commercial****

We come back and it is time for “The Dirt Sheet”! Miz & Morrison are sitting in their set in the middle of the ring and are met with heavy boos. Morrison introduces himself and says that People magazine offered him $15 million dollars for pictures of him when he was a baby, but he turned them down because John Morrison is not for sale. Miz welcomes us to The Dirt Sheet.

Mark Henry is introduced and his face shows up on the Titantron. They ask him if he will be ok doing this interview without his translator, Tony Atlas. We quickly realize it is just a picture of Henry’s face with his lips open as the picture begins to grunt. They next ask Atlas a question to which we are met with some rapping. This type of thing continues for a while, even including a picture of ECW’s only Diva, surfer girl.

Henry has had enough of this and makes his way down to the ring with Tony Atlas. Tony tells him that when they agreed to be on his show that they weren’t there to be disrespected. Miz and Morrison decide it’s a better move to try their previous tactics with Matt Hardy. Morrison starts to ask Jeff a question before Miz tells him that they have Matt not Jeff. Morrison says “really? How’d that happen”. Matt’s voice for the interview segment is hilarious.

Matt makes his entrance to a tremendous ovation. Matt makes fun of Miz & Morrison for stealing Conan O’Brien’s material and lacking originality. [I didn’t catch this because I’m much more of a Craig Ferguson fan] Matt does compliment the two, however, by telling them that he loved them in Brokeback Mountain.

Miz is furious and tries to take out Matt but Hardy hits him and takes out Miz. Morrison tries to get involved but hits Mark Henry by accident! Henry unleashes on Miz & Morrison and then Hardy hits a Twist of Fate on Miz! Hardy and Henry stare each other down to close the show.

FOOTBALL
NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GODDELL REINSTATED GREEN BAY QB BRETT FAVRE! NOW, THIS IS A BIG DEAL CONSIDERING FAVRE WAS CONSIDERING GREEN BAY’S OFFER TO STAY RETIRED. IT LOOKS LIKE GREEN BAY IS ONLY GONNA HAVE A FEW OPTIONS. THEY COULD RELEASE BRETT, WHICH HE WOULD THEN MORE THAN LIKELY SIGN WITH THE VIKINGS. THEY COULD TRADE BRETT TO THE JETS OR BUCCS. THE LAST OPTION IS TO KEEP FAVRE, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT BRETT DOESN’T EVEN WANT ANYMORE. HE HAS ALREADY SAID THAT HE WILL NOT BE THE BACCUP FOR AARON ROGERS. GREEN BAY HAS ALREADY SAID THAT FAVRE WILL NOT BE THE STARTER. REGARDLESS, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS CRAZY STORY HAS JUST ENTERED ITS CLIMAX RIGHT NOW AS A DECISION MUST BE MADE SOON WITH THE NFL PRESEASON 08 OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY WITH THE COLTS VS REDSKINS HALL OF FAME GAME.

BREAKING NEWS @ 5:39PM – GREEN BAY SAID THEY ARE OPEN TO A QB COMPETITION BETWEEN BRETT FAVRE AND AARON RODGERS!!! LOOKS LIKE FAVRE IS COMING BACC TO LEAD THE PACC! GOD DAMN, NOBODY CAN MAKE UP THEIR DAMN MIND IN GREEN BAY! FAVRE SHOWED UP TO GREEN BAY’S LATE CAMP.

IN THE FIRST PRESEASON GAME OF THE YEAR, THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS PLAYED AGAINST THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS IN THE ANNUAL HALL OF FAME GAME. THE REDSKINS WON 30-16. ROOKIE QB COLT BRENNAN LOOKED GREAT GOING 9/10 FOR 123 YARDS AND 2 TD!

BASEBALL
THERE WAS A HUGE SLATE OF GAMES FOR THE DAY…IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE, THE YANKEES BEAT THE ANGELS 14-9. IVAN RODRIGUEZ HIT HIS FIRST HOMERUN SINCE BEING TRADED TO THE YANKEES. IT WAS HIS 6TH HOMER OF THE YEAR AS HE WENT 2/3. DAMN, HE IS GETTING OLD. MINNESOTA BEAT CLEVELAND 6-2 TO TAKE OVER THE LEAD IN THE AL CENTRAL. MY WHITE SOX GOT THEIR ASS KICCED AGAIN BY THE SORRY ASS KANSAS CITY ROYALS 14-3. GOD DAMNIT! JOSE GUILLEN HIT ANOTHER HOMER FOR THE ROYALS (16). THE WHITE SOX HAVE NOW LOST THE LEAD IN THE AL CENTRAL! THERE WAS A BRAWL IN THIS GAME IN WHICH MIGUEL OLIVO, OZZIE GUILLEN, ZACK GREINKE, TREY HILLMAN, AND D.J. CARRASCO WAS TOSSED. DETROIT AND TAMPA BAY WENT TO EXTRA INNINGS AS TAMPA BAY PULLED IT OUT BY A RUN 6-5 AS CARLOS PENA WAS WALKED WITH THE BASES LOADED IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 10TH. MIGUEL CABRERA HIT HIS 20TH HOMER OF THE SEASON. BOSTON BEAT OAKLAND 5-2 AFTER A RAIN DELAY ALMOST STOPPED THE GAME. DICE-K PICCED UP HIS 12TH VICTORY TO BRING HIS SEASON RECORD TO 12-2. SEATTLE BEAT BALTIMORE 8-4. TEXAS BEAT TORONTO 8-4 BEHIND 2 HOME RUNS FROM GERALD LAIRD (5,6).
THE CURRENT PLAYOFF SITUATION IN THE A.L. LOOKS LIKE THIS…THE AL EAST LEADER IS STILL TAMPA BAY WITH A 3 GAME LEAD OVER BOSTON AND 5 ½ GAME LEAD OVER THE YANKEES. THE AL CENTRAL IS LED BY MINNESOTA, WHO HAS A ½ GAME LEAD OVER MY WHITE SOX. THE AL WEST IS STILL BEING DOMINATED BY THE LOS ANGELES ANGELS. THE WILDCARD RIGHT NOW IS IN BOSTON’S HANDS, WITH THE WHITE SOX AND YANKEES RIGHT BEHIND THEM.

IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE, WASHINGTON BEAT CINCINNATI 4-2 AS THEY TOOK IT TOO ROOKIE PITCHER JOHNNY QUETO (7-11). COLORADO BEAT FLORIDA 3-2. MATT HOLLIDAY HIT HIS 21ST HOMERUN OF THE YEAR.

GREG MADDUX PICCED UP HIS 5TH WIN OF THE SEASON TO BRING HIS RECORD TO 5-8. RUMOR IS NOW CIRCULATING THAT GREG MADDUX WILL SOON BE JOINING THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS IF THEY CAN COME TO TERMS ON A DEAL WITH SAN DIEGO ON A WAIVE AND TRADE. SPEAKING OF THE DODGERS, THEY BEAT ARIZONA AGAIN 9-3 BEHIND ANOTHER HOME RUN BY NEWCOMER MANNY RAMIREZ. IT WAS HIS 22ND HOME RUN AS HE WENT 4/5 WITH 2 RUNS AND 3 RBI’S AND OF COURSE THE HOMER. THE PHILLIES BEAT THE CARDINALS 5-4 BEHIND CHASE UTLEY’S 28TH HOME RUN. FOR ST. LOUIS, RYAN LUDWICK HIT HIS 27TH HOME RUN OF THE SEASON.
THE CURRENT PLAYOFF SITUATION IN THE N.L. LOOKS LIKE THIS…THE NL EAST LEADER IS PHILADELPHIA WITH A 2 ½ GAME LEAD OVER FLORIDA AND A 3 GAME LEAD OVER THE METS. THE NL CENTRAL IS STILL LED BY THE CUBS, WHO HOLD A 5 GAME LEAD OVER MILWAUKEE AND A 6 GAME LEAD OVER ST. LOUIS. FINALLY, THE NL WEST LEADER FOR NOW IS STILL ARIZONA, BUT THE LA DODGERS HAVE GOTTEN TO WITHIN A 1 GAME SINCE THE ACQUISITION OF MANNY RAMIREZ, WHO HAS BEEN ON A TEAR SINCE JOINING THE DODGERS. THE NL WILDCARD BELONGS TO MILWAUKEE WITH ST. LOUIS RIGHT BEHIND THEM.

BASEBALL
To start off in the American League, My White Sox lost to Kansas City 9-7 despite an 8th inning surge that brought the score to 8-7. That drops my White Sox’s record to 61-48 on the season. Jermaine Dye hit his 26th home run in this game and Mark Buehrle pitched another horrible game. The White Sox lost the divisional lead in this game since it was played before the Twins game. The Yankees beat the Angels 8-2. Mike Mussina picced up his 14th win to go to 14-7. A-Rod hit his 24th homer of the season in this game. The Twins LOST their chance to take over the AL Central by losing to Cleveland 5-1 to remain ½ game behind the White Sox. Tampa Bay beat Detroit 9-3 behind rookie Evan Longoria’s 21st homerun. Tampa Bay at this point is 3 games ahead of Boston in the AL East. Speaking of Boston, they KILLED Oakland 12-2. John Lester got his 10th win to better his record to 10-3. Kevin Youkilis hit two homers (19,20), and newcomer Jason Bay hit his 23rd homerun. That makes Boston 2-0 after getting rid of Manny Ramirez. Not bad. Toronto beat Texas 6-4 behind AJ Burnett’s 13th win of the season. Seattle lost to Baltimore 3-1 in a battle of AL scrubs.

In the National League, The Cubs knocced off The Pirates early in the day 5-1 giving pitcher Todd Lilly his 11th win to go 11-6. The Cubs still lead the NL Central over Milwaukee by 4 games and St. Louis by 5 games. Atlanta lost to Milwaukee 4-2 behind two home runs by Prince Fielder (25). C.C. Sabathia also pitched another brilliant game to go to 5-0 as a starter for the Brewers. Philadelphia beat St. Louis 2-1. Ryan Howard hit his 31st homerun in this game. That put Philly up by a 1 ½ games over the Mets in the NL East. Washington had a late surge to end up taking Cincinnati 10-6. Florida kept on winning, this time against Colorado 5-3. Matt Holliday did hit two homers for Colorado (19,20). San Francisco beat San Diego 2-0 in a pitchers duel. Barry Zito actually out pitched Jake Peavy to piccup his 6th win to go to 6-13. LA Dodgers beat Arizona 4-2 behind Manny Ramirez’s first homerun as a Dodger.

The game of the night ended up being the Mets and Astros. The Mets dominated the entire game, but the Astros made a 9th inning comebacc. The Astros went on to win the game 5-4 in 10th inning! That officially pushed the Mets bacc to 2 games behind in the NL East!

In the Olympics, USA defeated Russia 89-68. Kobe Bryant had 19 points.

PRO WRESTLING
Saturday Night’s Main Event

1. JBL, Kane, Ted Dibiase Jr, and Cody Rhodes def. John Cena, Batista, and Cryme Tyme
2. The Great Khali def. Jimmy Wang Yang
3. Edge def. Jeff Hardy (MVP interfered)
Jenny McCarthy was there to promote the fight against Autism!

Not a good Saturday Night’s Main event in my opinion. Personally, I remember when the show used to have HUGE ratings of 10.0 and 11.0…now it is just horrible.

I gotta talk about tha mutha fuccin IRON SHEIK!!! HE IS THA FUCCIN BEST WRESTLING SHOOT-INTERVIEWER OF ALL TIME!

I advise everyone to go to youtube.com and checc out the Iron Sheik. He is a character.
