Two More Wins...
Red Sox Report – Friday and Saturday spelled two more victories for the Red Sox. On Friday, Dice-K got his 16th win with an 8-0 shutout of the White Sox. Dustin Pedroia had 4 hit from the cleanup slot and Jason Bay knocked in 3 runs with a clutch double.On Saturday, the sox handed the ball to triple-A prospect Michael Bowden. Though he wasn’t spectacular in his first start. He did keep the White Sox hitters off balance in his five-inning stint. Once again it was Dustin Pedroia leading the attack with 4 more hits. Here’s a guy who has been told all his life that he’s too small, he’s not strong enough, he’ll never get to that next level. But all he does is keep proving people wrong. The man leads the league in batting average, multiple hit games and hits. He also leads the league in runs scored, tied for 2nd with 44 doubles, and ranks in the top 20 for both on base percentage and slugging percentage. If that’s not enough, he’s also an outstanding defensive player with a gritty, never give up attitude. He’s the poster boy for the old time throwback player and he just simply gets the job accomplished. One word, MVP!
Nice Little KnifeCheck out this handy little Kobalt box knife we came across the other day. I can see a multitude of uses for this tool as time goes on and I’m sure who ever lost it is probably not too happy. Did I say I liked the color?
Money Update – The past couple of days yielded another 1.95 for the pot. Friday contributed a 93-cent effort and then on Saturday we followed it up with a 1.02. No real interesting coin finds to speak of but we keep hoping.
Bottle Talk – I know I haven’t been talking about the bottle and can arena in a while; however, we’ve been scooping them up by the bag full. It has been, and continues to be the top money earner in each fiscal year. In 2007 that was roughly 1,200 dollars.
Over and Out!

My name is Steve and I work with MWW Group. We're helping CiCi's Pizza get the word out about their Penny Picker Upper program (http://BeAPennyPickerUpper.com) that launched this month. Since you write about ways to save money, I wanted to share this information with you, as it may be useful information for you and your readers.
As part of its new Penny Picker Upper promotional campaign, CiCi’s Pizza is honoring savings-savvy Americans by dropping one million pennies in public places around their restaurants. But these are no ordinary pennies. The backs of each of these specially stickered pennies will list prizes like a free meal at a CiCi’s endless pizza buffet, a free drink, and a buy one pizza get one free deal that can be redeemed at local CiCi’s locations. I thought that since your blog is litterally about picking up coins (and the Red Sox), it would only make cents for me to let you know about this great promotion.
Okay, that was a lame pun.
Also as part of the campaign, every specially marked penny that is brought back to CiCi’s will be donated to the Big Brothers Big Sisters Club of America.
For more information, please check out the official CiCi's Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/CiCis-Pizza/63322161215. Here you'll find more information, photos, videos, etc. about CiCi's and the Penny Picker Upper program.
If you have any questions, please let me know!
