Having read the latest news on the Lefkow murders, and that the suspect is actually a corpse now rather than a white supremacist, it's a closed case without closure. A lot of people wanted to see Matthew Hale and his followers get busted on this murder, due to their connections with an earlier attempted murder on the judge herself. However, because the guy who most likely broke into their house and took 2 people's lives is actually dead, we get an answer but no chance for revenge to make the killer pay for what he did. It's stupid, really, because this is not a guy bent on racism and discrimination against non-white Christians, but simply revenge for feeling he's been denied retribution for a decade's worth of pain and debt. I can do no more than shake my head at this, wondering once again why the murders occurred.
On a happier note, baseball is up and running again, as teams all over the country are in Florida and Arizona for Spring Training, revving up for the 2005 baseball season. I should let you know I am a Cubs fan, but I have sinned in the past by rooting for the Yankees and the White Sox. That aside, I am excited that the Cubs have sent Sammy Sosa to another team, thereby eliminating the club's biggest headache. With a lineup of Nomar Garciaparra, Aramis Ramirez, Derrek Lee, Corey Patterson, Todd Walker, Michael Barrett, et al, they should be more evenly balanced lineup. The pitching staff's not too bad either, with Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, Carlos Zambrano and Greg Maddux all returning from last year. The Cubs start the season in Phoenix on Opening Day, whenever that is (early April). Here's wishing them the best this year!
Not much is happening with me. It's Friday night, it's the weekend, and I'm going to play basketball tomorrow with a couple friends.
