Four In A Row!

Today we found 1.37 in change and 27 bottles and cans.

I’m not sure if Joe Torre is having a lot of fun managing the Yankees right now. With the bombers in the midst of a 7-game skid and George Steinbrenner banging the war drums, you almost begin to wonder if he’s going to last the season. It doesn’t help matters any that the strength of the rotation, starters Mike Mussina and Chin Meng Wang have already had stints on the disabled list. Add to the fact the Carl Pavano has again been a bust, has left Torre grasping for straws. In will be interesting, at the very least to decipher the playful banter that leaks out of the big apple if this trend goes on for very much longer.

Having said that, it was a good win for the sox. Not only did they beat the Yanks most reliable starter in Andy Pettitte, but they also continued to wear down an already overworked Yankees relief core, including closer Mariano Rivera who didn’t make it out of the ninth. Things could get really interesting if Tim Wakefield can continue his winning ways today.

Money Report – We ended the workweek with another solid day of coin finding. Michele got things going with a 15-cent find at school (1 dime and 1 nickel). Both coins were located in one of the school’s halls. During the evening we came up with another 1.22 for the fund. Our first coin, a penny was found in the rite aid parking lot, and then we snagged two more cents at Subway. The high school was the big scorer of day adding 75 cents to the total (1 quarter, 1 dime, 5 nickels, and 14 pennies). The change was found in variety of areas around the school. At the car wash we picked up 13 cents (1 dime and 3 pennies) in and around the vacuum areas. Then, at Cumberland Farms we found 12 cents (1 dime and 2 pennies), 16 cents at the skateboard park (1 dime, 1 nickel, and 1 penny), 2 pennies on Main Street and 1 cent in the 7-11 parking lot.

Good Night and Good Hunting!
