Break Out The Brooms!

Today we found 1.05 in change and 151 bottle and cans.

The Red Sox continued their winning ways tonight steamrolling the Blue Jays for a sweep of the series 8-0. Toronto ace Roy Halladay was off the mark, both with velocity and with location and sox took full advantage. Meanwhile, Tim Wakefield threw another gem combining with Hideki Okajima and J.C. Romero for the shutout. He has to be the best 4-3 pitcher in the major leagues right now (ERA 1.76). With any run support he’d have 6 or 7 wins.

The other side of the rivalry – You have to wonder if Wang’s fingernail makeover was the cause of his woeful performance today and the stadium. Either way, the rangers didn’t care as they took out a can of whoop-ass on the bombers with a 14-2 drubbing. Sure, it’s only one loss, but it drops them to 7 games back of the sox and now they hit the highway for a lengthy road trip against Seattle, the White Sox and the Mets, if they play 500 ball during that time and the sox and win at home, the lead could balloon to 9 or 10 games when they return home. I smell trouble!

Money Report – It was another slow start to our coin finding today. Our first coin was found when I stopped at Cumberland Farms to gas up. I found a single penny in the parking lot. Michele also found a penny at school.

The evening walk accounted for the remaining 1.03 (2 quarters, 3 dimes, 2 nickels and 13 pennies). First, we found 19 cents at the high school, then 20 cents at the car wash, 37 cents was found on the sidewalk headed up Main Street, a single quarter at Sweet Creations, and 2 cents in the 7-11 parking lot.

Sidebar – I just noticed that there are two new cap games, the Sunkist “drink share win” which is underway and the up-coming Pepsi promotion “transform your summer” game which starts on the 14th of May.

Good Night and Good Hunting~
