Like we didn’t know. George Ryan was found guilty on all counts for racketeering. Read all about it in the Chicago Tribune:
A federal jury convicted former Gov. George Ryan today on all charges that as secretary of state he steered state business to cronies in return for vacations, gifts and other benefits for himself and his family.
Lobbyist Lawrence Warner, a close Ryan friend, was also found guilty on all charges against him in the historic trial.
WBBM in Chicago, among other radio stations, is reporting that the jury has reached a verdict in former governor George Ryan’s raketeering trial. Stay tuned!
It’s as easy as 1-2-3 for Albert Pujols.
Last year’s most valuable player hit three home runs yesterday, including a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth, powering the Cardinals past the Reds in a game with a see-saw lead.
The only bad thing about being so stinking good is that now pitchers will probably start pitching around him (a la Barry Bonds). Still, it’s players like Albert that make you proud to be a Cardinals fan.
