Now It Is TEN in a Row!

The Houston Astros have hit the ten loss in a row mark tonight, 4-3 tonight. Last night was 2-1. It is a sad sight to see the ineptness these professional athletes. No one is hitting. When the Reds scored 3 in the first inning off Wandy Rodriguez. You had the sense that the game was over in the first inning.

New Blogging Community

There is a new blog site that has been established that will hopefully recapture the community spirit that was developed on WritingUp.com. The site is called Communati.com. I heard about its establishment from Sharon Hurley Hall. The webmaster is a friend of gracepub. There are only a few bloggers sigend up so far, the two ladies I mentioned, Pinhole and myself, along with the webmaster, marko.

I like the ideas I have read, and the place looks a lot like our old WritingUp home. I hope many of the rest of my old neighbors will find their way to Communati.com. If you decide to sign up, here is my Referral link.

And here is a link to my New Familyfunadfaith blog.

NBA Draft Lottery

I was a bit dissappointed that the Portland Trail Blazers won the first over all draft spot in the upcoming NBA draft. I have nothing against the Blazers, but I do not like the system that allows the worst teams to slip past the chance to draft the best players available. I wanted to see the Bucks and the Celtics get the best two big men. They deserved it.

14-1, Are You Kidding?

I had meetings all afternoon, so I did not get to watch the Astros and the Texas Rangers in the rubber game of their weekend series. I am just as glad. The final score was 14-1 in favor of the Rangers. That stinks! Woody Willliams got shelled and so did Brian Moeller out of the bull pen. Williams is 1 & 6 on the season.

Roy and Young Roy

The San Francisco Giants are in town to play the Houston Astros tonight, the third game of the series. Tonight the have a young pitcher named Tim Lincecum going against Roy Oswalt. The young hurler is making his third or fourth start in the bigs. He is already being compared to Oswalt, as neither man is very big but throw very hard.
It should be fun to watch.

Hunter Pence In Houston!

I guess I am going to have to get on the Hunter Pence bandwagon, or I will be left behind! The kid has an average of a run batted in per game since his arrival a couple of weeks ago, and he is playing with such passion and joy that it is infectuous! he has had homers in the last two games, on to tie a game late and anothre to brak a tie and provide the win. He has seven straight hits, one short of the club record, ever!

I think he is here to stay!

Reviewing BlogSire.com

When I started blogging, part of the reason was that I was lured by the opportunity to make some extra money by writing. For most of the first year, I was not successful in making money, though I had developed a consistent readership. Recently I began venturing into some other options that have actually made a significant increase in my income. It is just enough to whet my appetite for more and better ways to add to the cash flow.

I recently found a site that is a great example of a writer who is “blogging the money way”. BlogSire.com/myblog is an attractive site, and yet filled with sources of income for the writer, Sire. He has obviously done a lot of work in setting up his blog, which is powered by WordPress. He has posts that offer tips for successful blogging, as well as articles for which he has been paid by a variety of sources. He has added affiliate programs and widgets and Adsense ads.

If you want to see how a blog that makes money looks, go by BlogSire. You will be impressed!

My New BlogEvolve Blog

In the past couple of days I have established a blog at Blog Evolve. It seems like a small community of bloggers/writers that enjoys interacting with each other. I am going to give it a try as a possible refuge for my Familyfunandfaith blog, in case the doors at Writing Up do actually close. I do not know if the place will be as attractive to others as it is to me, but you might like it too.

It is free to register. If you think you might enjoy the place and want to sign up, I would be pleased if you used this referral link.

Albers a Reds Favorite

I guess the Cincinnati Reds will want to face Matt Albers any time they come to Houston. The only game of the eight the two teams have played in which the Reds have prevailed, is the one that Albers pitched a week ago. And that game they won 11-2. Today they lead 9-5.
