Sox Blow It / D. Rose Engaged / Girl Shot By School / Zombies

The last time I interviewed Mayor Richard M. Daley at Sox Park our favorite baseball club went on to win the World Series. So, for superstition's sake, I met up with Chicago's longest serving boss near his family seats next to the Sox dugout before Game 4.

Daley told me he was "just excited to be here like 2005." His security guard snapped a picture.

Nine innings later, the Sox season ended in a 10-1 loss to the Astros.

Afternoon thunderstorms. High: 70 Low: 66.

• Marist High officials have completed an investigation into allegations that the Mt. Greenwood Catholic school's homecoming dance was marred by a racially motivated protest on the dance floor when some students took a knee when a DJ played Spanish-language version of Billy Ray Cyrus' song "Achy Breaky Heart." The school's verdict: Not racist. Taking a knee on the dance floor is just how kids these days ask a DJ to "change the song being played." (NBC5) More than 60-percent of Patch readers who responded to an online poll disagreed.
