No Relief!

Today we found 1.32 in change and 102 bottles and cans.

Well I know it had to happen sooner or later, but the bullpen finally gave up the ghost. Curt Schilling pitched a gem through 7 innings and then Okajima pitched the eighth without trouble. However, Papelbon was unable to stem the tide giving up 2 runs on a homerun to tie the game. It was evident after about the first batter that he didn’t have is good stuff. His fastball topped out at between 92 and 94 and he couldn’t locate his other pitches. Still, the sox had a chance to win it in the ninth but failed to score. Let’s hope we can turn the tide tomorrow and get a split.

Other Baseball News – Looks like the Yankees are having more pitching woes. Hughes went down tonight with a hamstring injury that’ll put him on the shelf for 4-6 weeks. It’s too bad as he was throwing a no-no when it happened.

Money Report - Now for the good stuff, Michele found a dime on her run this afternoon. She snagged the little devil on Mill Street. During the evening walk we added another 1.22 to the pot. At the car wash is where we did the most damage picking up 1.01 (3 quarters, 2 dimes, and 6 pennies). All of the coins were found scattered on the ground near the various vacuum areas. We also found a dime at Springvale Hardware and 11 cents (1 dime and 1 penny) in the 7-11 parking lot.
