BASEBALL WEBSITE BY - MARY CLAUSEN  - ST. LOUIS ROCKS!


HERE WE GO - CELEBRATE!

Albert Pujols sure is an unbelievable baseball player.  Cardinal fans are lucky to be watching a player of his caliber.  By the way, it's not too bad to have him playing for our team either. Once again, he helped my Cardinals to another victory.  They beat the Cincinnati Reds in the first of this three-game series Friday night 7-4.

The Reds starting pitcher, Homer Bailey, pitched a great game and kept our offense quiet until the eighth inning (he retired 13 consecutive batters). In the eighth, the Cardinals loaded the bases for their favorite slugger, Albert Pujols. Albert smacked a grand slam to make his third grand slam of the season. He said, "I was looking for a pitch to hit in the strike zone and just trying to stay away from the double play.  Obviously I got good wood and it went out of the park."  Good call AP!

Piniero pitched a good game, Mott came in to get the win and Franklin to get the save. Fireworks on the third of July for my Cardinals  Way to go guys!     

Friday night's win put us one game ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers in the standings.  We play the Reds for two more games this holiday weekend.  Good job guys. Let's see some more fireworks Cardinals!

SAN DIEGO PADRES - 7/2/09
Do you remember in the 1990s/2000s how some of the the Houston Astros batters were called the Killer Bees  (Biggio, Bagwell, etc.)? No, the Killer Bees weren't at the game Thursday night, these bees were real. The Houston Astros (really) and the San Diego Padres were playing at PNC Park and  there was a swarm of bumble bees in left field.  They were everywhere. It was the ninth inning and the game even had to be delayed 52 minutes so they could get rid of them. A swarm of bees - doesn't that thought give you the willies?

LOS ANGELES DODGERS - 7/3/09 - MANNY RAMIREZ
Manny Ramirez was allowed to play baseball on Friday after his 50-game suspension for steroid use.  Manny made his gregarious presence known even before he was on the baseball field.  He posed at the Dodgers dugout for photographers and yelled, "It's showtime!" When he came to bat, the crowd came to their feet. Most of the them cheered , but there were boos too.  He was 0-3 in the game with one walk.  It looks like it will take a little bit to get his timing going, but his fun-loving personality is already primed.


HE'S BACK!

This is a blog for iGoMogul.com to earn my baseball-watching money, you know.  It is the review of an article written about the Economy in New York City.  Read farther in my website for baseball news. Have a good one!

This is an article about the Economy in New York City.  In the beginning of the article the author lays out the facts about New York --the stock market, job problems and the businesses in the city that are closing.  The author does a good job at telling the truth for readers and not "sugar-coating" it.  The first paragraph ends with a nice bright spot that there are a few businesses that have made it through this time.   It is enlightening to end the introduction with that thought.

Next the author gives a list of the things that have caused the city to have problems.  This also includes lists of the reasons individuals are facing problems as well.

As the article continues the author gives good ideas and thoughts about how New York is trying to recover.  These ideas might help the readers start their own plan on how to recover.  They might be able to use some of the ideas.  I like how they bring up the point that a majority of the cities in our country is affected, so readers will not feel like they are not "the only one" faced with this problem.

The conclusion of the article ends with positive feelings. Readers will appreciate the author taking this approach. It gives the good feeling that the state and the people can get through this hard time in the economy.  Positive thoughts will probably help readers.   

A NEW COOL LEDGE WAS PUT
ON THE SEARS TOWER IN JULY

Last weekend I went to Chicago, Illinois to visit friends.  While was there I thought it would be fun to do a little Talkin' Baseball with Mary, so I conducted a casual survey with some of of the people in the Windy City (and yes it is windy!).  I asked them two questions.   First I asked what baseball team they followed and then I asked them why. Was I nuts?

Yes I was.  I have to tell you that I did this baseball survey on a dangerous weekend.  It was an inter-league play weekend and the Cubs were playing the White Sox. Actually that made it kind of fun. 

People from Chicago are real characters.  They are friendly, but are very opinionated. Especially about their baseball.  I started the survey right when I arrived into town at Chicago's Union Station.  People were waiting for the train to take them home from work. It was Friday and most were in a good mood. 

First I talked to a couple of middle-aged folks.  A man told me that he was a fan of the White Sox.  He thought it was important to follow a winning baseball team; not a losing one (like the Cubs).  Next a lady told me that she was also a Sox fan and that she would never be a Cub fan.  She said she was someone that had a little sense and she that was not a masochist (like Cub fans were). She was brought up a Sox fan. Both of these people lived on the south side of Chicago.

Then it was on to the North Side of the city where the Cub fans reside.  I went to a bar where we watched the Cubs/Sox  game.  On Friday, the Cubs won the game.  When Cub fans are in a winning mode, they are nuts. They are so loud.  They even have a victory song that they all sing - loudly. This song really pisses off the White Sox fans, but they didn't care. Cub fans and White Sox fans can't stand each other!

Hey fans, I'll continue my story Monday and tell you about the rest of my weekend. 

Adios amigos.

Another blog for iGoMogul.com.  This is the review of an article written about
Positive Increase in Money.  What a cool thing! Not as cool as the baseball news I have next for you.  Read on fans!

This is a good article about the Positive Increase in Money.  With the condition of the economy, it gives readers some ideas and suggestions about how you can save  money better. Some of the ideas are common sense things that we all know about like clipping coupons, but it is good when they are brought up in a way like this.  

The author wants the reader to think about how they spend their money - can any be avoided or reduced?  We get into living our lives and spending money the same way that it's good to have new ideas brought into focus.  These suggestions will probably help.

The author also has a great place to start - to document how the money is spent.  Money seems to go so fast that it's a good idea to document where it goes. You will be able to look at the list to justify expenses.

They also suggest that you can look at your current job position.  This is another part of lives that are just done day after day. When you think about it, sometimes the light bulb goes off in your head and you might get a great idea to improve things.

This article will make the readers look at their finances in a different way.  This might help them save a little money here and there.  Put it all together and it might really add up. This can be a good eye-opener.
