Phillies Should Remember The Whiz Kids First!

What you see here is a picture taken in October 1950.Its a picture of the Phillies swamping then pitcher Robin Roberts after he beat the Brooklyn
Dodgers in the final game of 1950 season.Thats right its not the playoffs.In 1950 you had to win the National League to get into the World Series. Some will tell you that it was easier to win the National League back then win the playoffs now.I believe that the eight team league was maybe tougher to win then beating todays playoff setup.

What I really want to say is that I believe that Philadelphia should celebrate the remaining members of that Whiz Kid team because they went on to be beaten in four straight by the very great 1950 Yankee team.Just think of bringing the remaining Kids back before the packed Citizens Bank Park crowd many of whom might not know them.They know which of that great team ended up in the Hall of Fame and they understand numbers.The biggest number is that it was he first Phillies appearance in the classic since 1917.

Bring them back Phillies before they are all gone.

Dont Believe Those Walmart Ads

If you ever watch a Walmart ad on TV don't believe them. At least don't believe the looks of the people in the ads. White middle class looking individuals who live in attractive neighborhoods and suburbs.I visit the parking lot of a Walmart  store in my hometown and most of the people I see entering the store(at 10:00pm)are far from healthy looking young white suburbanites.They are generally minorities .Walking through a trash heap with more shopping carts left in the parking lot then the local Acme has for its entire store see young Hispanics and Blacks carrying little babies. I think that no Walmart or any kind of store should be open on a Sunday night at 10:00pm(they close at 11:00pm)for any kind of shopping.I figure that many shoppers in the store are up to no good and that the parking lot remindes me of what the USA will look like in less than 50 years.I hope that someone with authority will see that this store closes at 9:00pm so that people will be home at night with their children in bed instreadf of shopping.

Bad Sunday Night and Monday Morning

Things started bad Sunday night with the news the the company I work for bought Bear Sterns. Employees in the banking business probably face more layoff notices and threats then anyone that I know of.An additional 14,000 employees added to our company will not help things for the lowly credit card employees that I work with who are probably the lowest paid bank people that their are.With the company pushing electronic payments and the current new customers more computer savvy we seem to be in the the sights of company slashers.

With the new credit crisis ballooning( I say "new" because bankers seem to cause new problems every ten years or so) Monday started with my fear of seeing 401ks being wiped out left and right.We seem to be holding on however.
Tuesday has started well on the Market with a 200 point lift off.

later...
