A Win For Wake!
Today we found 11 cents in change and 148 bottles and cans.Sox Talk – Tim Wakefield had the old knuckler working as he mesmerized the visiting Colorado Rockies 2-1. As it turns out, he needed to be on his game because the Red Sox bats just haven’t been that potent of late. They always say good pitching will beat good hitting, I guess tonight was an example of that. Now if we can just win one of the next two, which should be doable, I’d be pretty happy, especially against their lineup which is loaded with .300 hitters.
Money Report – It was a real challenge in our coin finding ventures today. Michele scored the first penny on her morning walk with Lexi. She found the penny on Mill Street. On the evening walk we rounded up the final 10 cents (all pennies). We found one penny in the rite aid parking lot, one penny in the Cumberland Farms parking lot, 7 pennies at the car wash, and one penny in the Sweet Creations parking lot. Some days you get the bear; some days the bear gets you!
Over and Out!

Two baseball thoughts:
- Tim Wakefield has been around forever. I remember when he was first making the conversion from position player with the Pirates.
- What a difference a turn through the rotation makes, for Schilling.
Hi Brian, sorry for the delay, I've been super busy with my business.
You're right, Wake's been around forever. The sox essentially plucked him from the scrap heap and the rest is history. The guy is a one of the true gamers of the sport and good for baseball.
About Schilling-
What can I say. When a pitcher, any pitcher nears 40, it becomes much harder to be dominate game in, game out. We saw that first hand with Schill over the last couple of starts. The good news is that he's had more solid outings and hopefully, any other bumps in the road will be few and far in between. By the way, your Phillies are putting it together.
Best,
Jim
