Pike County officials raided a pair of meth labs on Friday night and Saturday morning. Five people from Indiana were arrested when police raided a meth lab. An anonymous tip led police to arrest this woman for making meth. They learned she had bought psuedo 19 times since November of 2010.
These raids have created 3 new markets for Walter White and Jesse Pinkman to explore. There is gold on those streets. They won't be busted because of any psuedo purchases either. That's so old school.
Some woman has been accused of selling her baby for a truck and some meth. We know it wasn't the meth made by Walt and Jesse becasue the image shown in in the article is pink. They manufacture only blue meth. Back in the day Jesse used add some chili powder to his, but those days are gone. Blue meth only.
A Mexican cartel operative from the US was arrested. A US report suggests that Mexico should focus on cops and not the military as they battle the cartel. Apparently this is leading to more violence than necessary and the US, the captain of all things violent, thinks they should tone it down. It's believed the US report was written by Saul Goodman.
The fifth and final season of the best show on tv kicks off tonight at 9 pm central.

Not objectively hot.

I think it says they don’t think Vitters is ready and are looking for a more polished prospect. Even if Vitters has finally figured things out at the plate, he’s still a slow footed player with questionable defense at 3B.

Nice first inning for Sheets. Velocity was good, some movement on the fastball. Change looks flat, and that good hard curve he throws doesn’t have the snap it used to have, but that big slow curve he throws is still there.

Oh, yeah, the analysis in that piece was nice, but if Ofman even has any sources (and his previous work on The Score suggests that may not be the case) they’re not people who are in the loop, at least as far as the Cubs are concerned. Maybe he has an in with the Dodgers, but I can’t imagine how.

I mean given that the Cubs are looking at 1-2 more losing seasons and the D’backs looking to maybe move Upton, is it a smart deal to make now? So I’m asking about the strategic aspect of such a trade. And obviously the Cubs would have to send more than Jackson to AZ.
