MySpace Primetime Puts Premium Videos on Profile Pages
November 17, 2008 10:05 AM
Since its launch on Wednesday, MySpace's prime-time application has 16,494 active users. At least that's what the MySpace page for the application reported as of this morning.
MySpace Primetime lets any MySpace user embed premium videos from Hulu, Warner Bros. or Sony, as well as MySpaceTV originals like "Roommates," on their own profile pages. The goal with the new application is to pepper the high-end content MySpace has deals to carry on MySpaceTV around the site and into the far corners of user profiles.
Now a part of me wonders if MySpace is getting much traction for the Hulu content it already carries on its site. After all, remember that when Hulu launched, one of the selling points was super distribution and this massive network of portal partners such as Comcast, MySpace and AOL that also would carry Hulu programming.
But now that Hulu has been up and running for eight-plus months, how many of you go to those other sites to watch TV shows and how many go to Hulu?
Sure, AOL and others do indeed carry Hulu shows like last week's "The Office." I'm just wondering if the super-syndication model is top of mind for consumers, or if when you're about to watch a show online, is Hulu the first place you go?
Either way, it's a smart move by MySpace to let users embed TV shows in their profiles, as the ads live along with the show. The MySpace application should bring greater reach for the premium content and generate more views.
Oh, and here's last week's episode of "The Office" in case you want to watch that here on TVWeek.com.

Fayetteville Britt football coach Richard Bailey said he was very impressed with Wake Forest-Rolesville during Britt's 27-16 4-AA North Carolina High School Athletic Association semifinal win on Friday.
"Wake Forest had an outstanding team and played extremely hard," Bailey said.
"Their kids played so hard that you see how disappointed they were to lose."
Bailey said he was impressed with WF-R on the field, but his favorable impression increased after the game.
"We brought in some food for them after the game," Bailey said. "Their kids were disappointed, but handled themselves first class.
"They left their dressing room spotless. Earl Smith is a first-class coach and that was a first-class team."
0-8 AGAINST THE RAIDERS: Fayetteville Britt won the Mid-Southeastern 4-A Conference, but during the regular season it continued its losing streak against Richmond County, the team it faces Sunday in the 4-AA championship at the University of North Carolina's Kenan Stadium.
"We are 0-8 against Richmond in our history," Bailey said. "But we're 0-0 on neutral fields and in Sunday games. We've lost to them on Friday and Saturday before, but we're undefeated against them on Sundays."
Britt said quarterback Everett Proctor, an N.C. State commitment, has played hurt most of the year.
"We put him at wide receiver to get him on the field," Bailey said. "He has helped us.
"He has seven catches for five touchdowns."
Proctor also broke two long scoring runs against Wake Forest-Rolesville and was able to return to his kicking duties.
"He still isn't 100 percent healthy, but he is about 90 to 95 percent," Bailey said. "He has really helped us in the playoffs."
FAMILIAR FACES: Former Athens Drive coach Mike Byus and former Enloe coach Ron Massey have teams playing for state football titles this weekend.
Byus left Athens Drive for Robbinsville in 1999 and has been at East Lincoln for four years.
East Lincoln is 14-1 and will play 15-0 Reidsville for the 2-AA title at Carter-Finley Stadium.
"I still have friends here," Byus said. "When I saw the finals were going to be at [N.C.] State, I thought it was a good omen."
Byus coached with Ron Massey at Enloe before taking the Athens Drive job.
Massey left Enloe to coach at Fayetteville Seventy-First in 1991 and later led Kings Mountain to the state final.
Massey's Kannapolis Brown team plays 15-0 Greensboro Dudley at 4:30 p.m. at Wake Forest University's BB&T Field.
A SECOND LOOK: Mark Dreibelis, an NCHSAA assistant executive director, expects to see a tape of the roughing-the-snapper violation during Fayetteville Byrd's 9-7 4-A semifinal victory over Durham Hillside.
"I haven't seen it yet," Dreibelis said Monday, "but I'd like to get a copy and take a look at it."
Dreibelis said roughing the snapper is a point of emphasis among officials because snappers are in a vulnerable position.
"The big thing is that the snapper's head is down and they need to be protected to keep someone from hitting them in the back of the head and causing a serious injury," Dreibelis said.
"You can go to either side of the center, but just can't go through his head."
Hillside blocked a Byrd field-goal attempt with about five seconds left and seemed to have won the game at that point.
But the Hornets were whistled for a roughing-the-snapper violation, and Byrd made the kick after the penalty was assessed.
Dreibelis said both teams had been warned about roughing the snapper earlier in the game.

My family and I had the privilege of attending the Festival of Hope for Glenn Lightner yesterday. As many Patch readers know, he is a local son who is battling brain cancer.
Our community has rallied around this young man in so many ways. Through so many benefits, fund raisers, runs, even lemonade stands…the goal is the same no matter how big or small the effort is in how people participate.
Every single person who has organized, attended or contributed…it is with genuine kindness and concern for one of our own. ORT Farms has been extraordinary in their contribution to this cause.
My husband and I were talking about the Festival of Hope when we got home yesterday. It was so heartwarming to see our community, yet again, continue to support a family; to show their love, to simply be there in any way they can for the Lightner family.
We enjoyed the bands (who were FANTASTIC), the food, the kids having so much fun, the sense of community …but really what we appreciated the most was how many people came to show their love and care for Glenn. Many who don't even know him personally, but took the time to attend and support him!
Because of Glenn and his family, so many of us know that through them, we have such a great appreciation of supporting one another and doing all we can to help each other. Glenn is a hero!!!!
I am extremely proud to live in Long Valley.

The Manteca Buffaloes wanted to come out aggressively and that is exactly what the squad did in a 3-0 Valley Oak League win over Kimball High Wednesday.
Things went according to plan for the Ripon Indians Wednesday in their Trans Valley League match with Riverbank High, as they stopped the Bruins with relative ease in a 25-13, 25-12 and 25-12 win at Ripon High.
Manteca High coach Tim Horning sat at the end of the bench, head buried into his hands while his players settled into their seats on the other end of the court between the second and third games.
WESTON RANCH – This Valley Oak League season had been full of firsts for the Weston Ranch Cougars, and if the season were to end today they would be in first-place. But the team's business is far from done, as it took a gigantic step towards their goal with a 3-2 win over Sierra High Tuesday.
Ripon Christian's first stint through the Southern League has become as routine as bumping, setting and spiking.
The Southern League has not treated its newest member too kindly, as the Ripon Christian Knights ran into another one-sided defeat, 8-1 against visiting Gustine Tuesday.
The Manteca High cross-country team made a trip to the coast for the 39th Annual Half Moon Bay Artichoke Cross Country Invitational Saturday, competing against several programs at Half Moon Bay High.
After getting pushed round in two losses to start the match, East Union held a five-point lead with five points to go but couldn't finish the deal in a 3-0 loss to the visiting Oakdale Mustangs Thursday at the Dalben Center.
Weston Ranch mounted spirited comebacks in the first three games, but when intra-district host Sierra High attempted its own in the fourth the Cougars calmly put the finishing touches in their thrilling victory - 25-23, 24-26, 26-24, 25-19.
Manteca High still hasn't gotten over the hump, but coach Tim Horning saw some encouraging things out of his team in a three-game loss - 19-25, 12-25, 18-25 - to Valley Oak League defending champion Sonora Thursday at Winter Gym.
At this point, Ripon High will take goals any way it can get them.
East Union went to work on the Old River Golf Course front nine, beating the Jaguars 220-330 in their Valley Oak League meeting Thursday.
The East Union High varsity girls golf squad improved to 7-0 in the Valley Oak League, defeating Sonora Wednesday at the Manteca Park Golf Course.
East Union High varsity boys soccer squad maintained its first-place hold Wednesday in the Valley Oak League by blanking Sonora, 3-0.
MODESTO – The Sierra High varsity girls cross country team led the pack at Wednesday's Valley Oak League meet at Legion Park.
TRACY – Not this time.
Somebody had to win.
Local wrestling standout Alex Garcia qualified for the ASICS/Vaughan Junior Greco Nationals after his third-place finish in the 126-pound division of the state tournament last weekend in Fresno.
It turns out there will be a few more Buffaloes roaming the turf at Tracy High's Wayne Schneider Stadium this Saturday.
A no-hitter from its No. 2 pitcher helped Manteca High's baseball team earn its first Valley Oak League championship in 29 years.
It's better late than never for 16-year-old Justin Clayton.
The Red Sox saved their best for last.
With the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the sixth Thursday in the Northgate Little League AAA championship tilt with the Nationals, Phillies slugger Tyler Toste hit a towering shot to center field that looked as if it would clear the bases.
Cruz Lopez picked a good time to hit his first home run of the year.
It's official: Manteca High's football team will open its 2014 season Aug. 29 at Levi's Stadium.
Phillip Leuvano threw four shutout innings of relief Tuesday and Blue Jays teammate Scotty Armstrong had a monster bat in an 11-4 win over the A's in semifinal action of the Northgate majors tournament.
Robert Vernon has returned the Ripon softball program to a place of prominence and his hard work hasn't gone unnoticed.

I loved this! So easy and yummy on a cold night when everyone is fighting colds. The only thing I would recommend is cutting back the rice to maybe a 1/4 cup...is wasnt soupy enough...seemed more like a runny stovetop chicken and rice. Also, I didnt have canned mixed veggies so I used frozen...was fine but was definitely missing celery. So next time I will probably add cut celery or maybe a can of cream of celery soup to thicken it up just a tad.

This recipe is great for when you want a quick easy chicken soup! We skipped the mixed veggies, and used just chopped carrots, celery and onions. We will definitely save this recipe and use it again.

That's the question The New York Times explored earlier this week with an article about doctors who are giving the drug Adderall to elementary school students who don't have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
The story understandably set off a firestorm — Wednesday, comedian Stephen Colbert pilloried Atlanta-area doctor Michael Anderson, who told the Times that "we've decided as a society that it's too expensive to modify the kid's environment. So we have to modify the kid."
His "Word" of the day was "Meducation."
"We have tried everything to improve our public schools — No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top. One thing we've overlooked is the most obvious answer of them all," The Colbert Report host joked. "Wonderdrugs."
[FDA Issues Warning About Fake Adderall]
New York Times national correspondent Alan Schwarz profiled Anderson and some of his patients, including Alexis and Ethan Rocafort, two children whose parents say they don't have ADHD but who have been prescribed Adderall by Anderson.
In a separate interview with U.S. News, Anderson says it's easy to understand why parents and experts have hammered him in the aftermath of the article.
"It's not just blowback, I'm getting hate mail," he says. Anderson claims he has never prescribed Adderall to a patient who he didn't believe had some form of the disorder, which can be tricky to diagnose. He won't prescribe Adderall to students who are already doing well in school.

Any time a doctor decides to prescribe [Adderall], he or she has to make a judgment call, he says. "I wasn't saying that ADHD doesn't exist, I'm saying a board of people came around and said 'This is what ADHD is and they voted on it.' It's not a broken nose, it's not a blood test."
"Anyone who reads the ADHD criteria would say 'Wow, this sounds like someone who is going to be having trouble in school,'" he adds. "This is multi-factoral, it's not a simple issue."
Ruth Hughes, CEO of Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, says doctors like Anderson and articles about the misuse of Adderall are damaging to the ADHD community.
[ADHD Drug Shortage Forces Parents to Find Substitutes]
"There's no doubt a lot of people use stimulant medications who aren't prescribed them, but I would be shocked if it's widespread in elementary school," she says. With the Times covering the misuse of Adderall several times over the past few years, "you'd think the problem is growing rapidly," she adds.
Prescription drug misuse, including Adderall and other drugs used to treat ADHD, actually fell 14 percent among 18-25 year olds and remained flat among children aged 12-17 between 2010 and 2011, according to the just-released U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
There's little doubt that Adderall helps students with ADHD focus and can even help students without ADHD study. Some of the experts quoted in the Times say that, on principle, Anderson's strategy should work.
[Gene Tied to Obesity, Depression, ADHD]
"Contrary to some myths, stimulants work the same way for a person without ADHD as they do for people with it. They make the brain work more efficiently by making more dopamine available," Hughes says. "It's not surprising people without ADHD feel like they can focus better."
But Hughes says that prescribing the drug to people without ADHD "does people with ADHD a huge disservice. It reflects poorly on the people who really need these medications."
"We're seriously concerned that any physician would prescribe ADHD medication to someone they didn't deem had the disorder," she says. "That takes my breath away. I'm not sure what to say about that. It isn't a good medical practice."
Schwarz says that Anderson is a doctor who cares about his patients, and that "the point of the story was to show that different doctors have different approaches to assessing the disorder."

Authorities Identify 2 Victims of Fatal Crash Near Maple Lake
Photo: MGN Online
Two people killed after a crash in Wright County near Maple Lake Tuesday have been identified.
According to the Minnesota State Patrol, four vehicles were involved in the crash around 10:10 a.m.
They say 71-year-old Delano Price and 80-year-old Lois Price were killed in the crash when their Grand Am, which was headed westbound on Highway 55, was rear-ended by a Dodge Dakota truck.
The Dodge Dakota was driven by 50-year-old Danny Brown of Annandale. His passenger was 48-year-old passenger Dawn Brown, of Annandale.
According to the State Patrol, the Grand Am was pushed by the truck into oncoming eastbound traffic as it was turning onto Dempsey Avenue.
The Prices' car then collided head-on with a Toyota Corolla. That car was driven by 67-year-old Mary Gelo, of Maple Lake. She was seriously hurt.
The Brown's truck then crashed into a Lexus, driven by 43-year-old Tammy Peterson, of Maple Lake. Petterson suffered a non-life threatening injury.
Danny Brown was not hurt. His passenger, Dawn Brown, suffered a non-life-threatening injury.
Both directions of Highway 55 were closed near Maple Lake after the crash but have since reopened. The closure was at Dempsey Avenue Northeast, about 2.5 miles south of downtown Maple Lake.

SWB's offensive woes continueBy
Two years ago today on DotF, Matt Carson went 4 for 4 with two doubles and a homer, and Jason Jones allowed just two baserunners against eight strikeouts in seven shutout innings as Double-A Trenton downed New Britain.
RAB correspondent Andy In Sunny Daytona sent along some more photos from last night's High-A Tampa game: Jesus Montero on deck, Montero catching, Jeremy Bleich winding up, Bleich delivering a pitch, Austin Krum on deck, and Eric Fryer batting. Andy also spoke to Dellin Betances while he video taped the game, and he said he'd heard of RAB, which is super cool. Alas, he wouldn't give in to Andy's advances, despite several attempts to by him beer.

Chris Malec hasn't gotten a hit in 4 straight games….something is very wrong.
got a scouting report on Jose Valdez?
Four straight games?
Wow, Lars off to a rough start at AA.
Maybe they were serious about Tex after all.
But Lars is an ugly white dude… he's a perfect candidate for the Sox infield some day.
He's gotta prove his grit still. Obviously right now he doesn't have nearly enough. Maybe if he shaved his head and grew a caveman beard like Youk…
Maybe if he shaved his head and grew a caveman beard like Youk…
Oh, if only they hadn't brought back Varitek and made him the Captain! If Youk had taken the mantle of Red Sox Captain, that would have meant…
Are suggesting that Teixera is hansome or not white?
"coughed up the no-hitter & shutout when he served up a homer to the light hitting #9 hitter with one out in the ninth … for shame"
Maybe he should have been pitching with the other hand.
4 consecutive games without a run…….4 consecutive games without a run. Is that possible.
I think it's pretty awesome that DB knows of RAB.
i wonder who else knows…
I've spent the last 5+ minutes searching for the RAB post about Damon hitting second and Jeter leading off that says "on a side note: JOE GIRARDI READS RAB!!!!" but I can't find it. Any help?
Michael Kay?
My conversation with Betances wasn't as gay(not that there is anything wrong with it) as Mike made it out. He was videotaping the game, and he had to keep walking back and forth across the stadium, and everytime he came back where me and my buddies were sitting, I would ask him if he wanted that beer yet. He was definitely tempted.
He was definitely tempted.
Too easy.
So what's the Ryan Pope Third-Round-Reach Meter at now?
Would like some more ground balls, no?
The two-year-old DOTF has Jason Jones pitching a similar game. So maybe he can be Rule Ved in a couple years?
Kudos to Andy for the photos.
Yeah, nice of him to share them with us.
Montero looks like hes posing for the photo
Either that, or he's thinking: "WTF! Get that camera out of my face before I pull a Randy Johnson on your ass."
Jesus Montero doesn't pose for photos; photos pose for Jesus Montero.
Montero looks like hes
posing for the photothinking about murdering Andy and burying the body under 2B.
Don't we all?
I'm actually very loveable….or loatheable…whatever.
Hey Andy… why the hell do all the photos have the datestamp of 01/01/2006?
basic mastery of simple consumer electronic technology FAIL
Man, tough crowd.
I went back in time to take them.
Sent by John Connor?
Don't ask him about that date.
That was the date when SHE left him. His world stopped turning right there.
If that said 'Dear Andrew' it would have been perfect.
"About the Yankees prospects, all year long I have heard that the Yankees priorities are Rafael de Paula and Gary Sanchez, I believe Gary Sanchez will ink with the Yanks.
Some weeks ago I was told about the Yankees pursuit of either Mateo or Gulliermo Pimentel, An agent told me he thought that Mateo was going to sign for around 2.5 million with the yanks, then word came that the yankees placed a complain on MLB regarding Pimentel and the Texas Rangers.
De Paula is not a sure thing, there is an issue about his eligibility to sing ( I'll make a whole blog about this kid later on) plus the Red Sox are also very high on him, and since the Red Sox are smoother in the way they negotiate it might be very possible that De Paula ends up signing with them.
Someone asked me about how much Programs (Buscones which is a demeaning name) spent on kids. I can tell you that lots of Buscones give prospects, Clothing, a place to live, food, mecidine, supplements etc all year long. Some go to the extent to give families some financial help too.
In some ways Programs give things to the families and kids that our govement should, but doesnt. Of course there are a lot of bad guys who act like criminals and just do horrible things.
My next 2 blogs will be about 2 right handed pitchers, one is Amiro Santana the other Rafael De paula, the Santana blog will be to show how the Red Sox are so good at spotting talent and De Paula blog will be just mad, stay tuned or however one is suppose to say it."
Keep hearing about Sanchez, sounds like we'll get him.
It'd be interesting to save that blog for 10 years, then check and see which guys had MLB careers.
Here's the video on Mateo, I would suggest watching it for the 60′s TV show theme music alone.
I keep reading that Sanchez is some kind of a stud prospect but have very little additional information. Is a Jesus montero type signing?
Don't get excited about latin american prospects until they've been in an MLB system for a couple years, maybe even until they earn their way to the states. There's huge amounts of misinformation out there put out by their handlers and other hangers on, and there's the lying about their age…and they're so young that plenty of them never pan out. For every King Felix there's a dozen guys who barely make it to AA.
Is Noesi someone worth keeping an eye on?
Rufino does look like Mondesi a bit.
Was hoping Mitchell could continue his dominance in Tampa, but I guess we'll have to wait 5 more days to see that.
On Mitchell…he almost gave up as many earned runs tonight as he had all season! Still 8 strikeouts aint bad….if one can take anything positive out of his start tonight!
It's not so much that Rufino looks like Mondesi in the face, but he looks like him in the field. He moves around just like Raul.
Mitchell pitched alot better than his line says. The Cubs picked up two cheap hits in his last inning, and Duff Beer gave up a bases loaded triple that let them score. It was HOT today, he had to have gotten tired.
So what is the deal with Noesi? His numbers are pretty good so far? Is he a legit prospect?
Just wondering, whats with the 2 years ago today thing?
Off topic, but on the postgame Andy sounds like he's battling the flu or something.
And it sounded like they were stealing the hubcaps off someone's car in the audio background of Girardi's interview.
Is Toronto the park where the visiting manager's office is so dinky that they literally do the post-game interviews in the hallway?
Swine Flu, you were right!
I thought something was up when he came off the mound in the 4th, he looked dreadful.
It's Canada.
Moose flu.
It's lupus.
I blame Aceves.
I blame A-Rod
Oh, man, Frankie Cervelli sounds like he's just arriving on the steamer from Sicily getting into Ellis Island. Nice accent, young man!
(I'm still trying to figure out how he's from Venezuela.)
Shouldn't his nickname be "Corleone"?
He worked on it so he'd fit into the Team Italy clubhouse better.
Mike Napoli FTW!
… um, or, FTLead!
Greatest relief prospect ever (as per Gammons) Bard just gave up a sac fly… working 95-98, not 99-102 like chief propaganda minister would like you to think.
Well I guess Craig Hansen was the best 8th inning guy in the AL 12 months ago, right?
That gun is obviously 6 or 7 mph slow. I once saw Bard throw a 103 MPH change up.
Working off his 400MPH fastball?
Don't be ridiculous. Everyone knows that Daniel Bard can't throw his fastball. It would tear the fabric of time creating a traversable wormhole.
And after 25+ pitches, he was 93-94, touching 95.
Oh, and Matt Palmer just retired 16 straight Red Sox hitters.
It's almost like he's a normal hard-throwing relief prospect and not some kind of ungodly phenom…
I'm kind of disappointed that doppel-Melky doesn't look like actual Melky.
Papal infallibility! Well, today, anyway.
Was Angelini serving his suspension today?

Tragically, he and his brother both died in a car accident July 18th. NCAA rules prohibit Boise State's coaches from contacting the player's family in any way, like sending flowers, making a phone call, etc., or even attending the funeral.

Heather Clark
Jesus Culture Music
Those of us who work with artists have all met people like Heather Clark at some time or other. Not a singer, or a visual artist, or a dancer, or a writer—but someone who does it all. Hailing from British Columbia, Clark has a solid check in the "all of the above" category listing. The question is, with such a diversity of interests, how will the music side of things sound? Pretty doggone good, it turns out. Overcome mixes a solidly modern sound with a touch of a retro feel, bringing to mind a sort of cross between Natalie Merchant and some of the best music of the Passion projects. Ambient washes of sound and big guitars alternate with simple and straightforward arrangements to provide a complete worship experience.
More: Solidly God-focused? Check. Catchy and singable? Check. Cool instrumental arrangements? Check. There is some quality worship music happening here.
Less: Lyrically, much of the music seems to be written from a meditative mindset. If you're not in that mindset at the time, however, the repetition can simply seem, well, repetitive.
4 stars

Random thoughts on The CollapseBy
My three days in Tampa are over. I spent the majority of time here stuck in Tropicana Field, the second worst park I've ever been too (sorry, Oakland). Give the current ownership group credit though, they improved the place by livening up the color scheme (remember when the place was one shade of green? yuck), the in-game entertainment (Rays' dancing grounds crew >>> YMCA), and the concessions, but it's still a third-rate facility. A team with that much talent and success (three playoff appearances in the last four years!) deserves better.
Anyway, this trip was an absolute blast and I was lucky to be here in person to witness one of the biggest and most memorable regular season games in baseball history. I'm flying home today, so I leave you with some random thoughts and observations from St. Pete …
- It's a total afterthought, but the Yankees actually finished the season on a four-game losing streak. There were some tough losses in there too; the 14-inning game with the Red Sox, Matt Joyce's go-ahead homer off Rafael Soriano (don't forget the triple play!), and of course last night's blown seven-run lead. At any other point in the season, those are killer, heart-breaking losses. Not after you've clinched though. Like I said, the four-game losing streak is an afterthought.
- Remember when Red Sox owner John Henry joked about "The MT Curse" after Yankees lost their eighth straight game to Boston to start the 2009 season? He was referring to Mark Teixeira as you know by now, and since then, the Sox have missed the playoffs twice and been swept out of the ALDS in the other year. They haven't won a postseason game since Game Six of the 2008 ALCS. Look at this box score. Cliff Floyd and Chad Bradford played in that game, that's how long ago it was.
- How about this stat: prior to last night, the Red Sox were 76-0 when leading after eight innings this season. Here's another one: Jon Lester's two-run, six-inning effort lowered Boston's starting rotation's ERA to 7.08 for September. How in the world does that happen? How does a team with a $160M-something payroll have to consider trading for Bruce Chen (!!!) on the last day of the season in case they need him to start a potential Game 163? It's unthinkable, it really is. I'm curious to see where they go from here and who takes the fall, because you know someone will.
- How about the Orioles? The Fightin' Showalters finished the season by winning ten of their final 15 games, and all 15 were played against teams either in the playoffs or fighting for a playoff spot (Rays, Angels, Red Sox, Tigers). That's some job of playing spoiler right there.
- I was pretty surprised at how loose the Rays were yesterday afternoon. Three players set up a makeshift flag (out of a towel and a rope stanchion) in right field before batting practice and were hitting golf balls at it from home plate. A couple others were running routes and playing catch with a football. I guess that's what happens when a team has nothing to lose, they were playing with house money. No one expected them to be in that situation yesterday.
- Check out Steve Slowinski's photo recap of last night over at DRays Bay. A picture is worth a thousand words, and there's about 15,000 words of baseball goodness in there. Also want to say thanks to world famous* Rays bloggers Jason Collette, Tommy Rancel, and Erik Hahmann for being awesome fans and even better people. Always great to see them.
And finally, give it up to the beat writers. I left the Trop at 2:15am this morning, and those guys were just settling in with stories to write and 6:30am flights to catch. There's eleven of them covering the team full-time (plus several fill-ins throughout the year), and they're fantastic. We're lucky to have them. Special thanks goes out to Bryan Hoch, who was stuck sitting next to me in the press box for three days and not only didn't complain about being next to the dopey blogger, but also treated me like I was one of the guys chasing the team all summer. These fellas deserve their own appreciate thread one of these days, they really do. We've got it good in Yankeeland.
* May or may not be exaggerating. You decide.

Just thought of this:
The RS will be desparate, have a lot of money to spend this offseason, and will likely be looking for a close this offseason with Pap likely gone…. How awesome would it be if Soriano opts out of his deal to sign a huge contract with them?
Would (somehow) make this collapse even better.
To see the transformation on the faces of all the Red Sox fans in Baltimor last night from jubilation and clapping and fist pumping to stunned and somber faces in a manner of minutes was priceless.
Their faces looked like John Lackey always does.
Is it just me or were the Orioles celebrating a bit too hard for a complete failure of a season? Idk, obviously I was ecstatic at the result of the game but that team just pisses me off.
They just ruined the chances of a division rival, and had an amazing comeback win in the 9th against a closer who had been lights out this year. I'd be excited as well.
I think I'll be alone on that one, I'm just super biased against that team.
Completely agree. That was their Game 7 of the World Series, and they deserve to be excited.
Their game 7 equivalent is relishing in the defeat of a team and winning absolutely nothing? God thats pathetic, I hate the orioles even more now.
Maybe it was exciting for them to end the season on a high note? That team hasn't had much to be happy about this year.
Save your hate for a more deserving opponent.
Fair enough
But feel free to pity them.
They've been awful since 97. Let them celebrate the minor victories in peace.
I think I love the Orioles even more now. I've gotten over that makeup rain date fiasco. All sins are forgiven since they drove a huge stake in the heart of Red Sox Nation last night.
They have every right to celebrate. They finished their season on a very good note. They played very tough for Buck against the best competition in MLB, when so many other teams would've just laid down. They should be commended, not hated.
no way dude, i thought it was awesome. especially the sardonic smile on buck's face. amazing
It's the only bright spot they have had in a while. This yr many ppl thought they would improve because of Showalter
When you have so many Boston fans who fill your park every time you play them (and this goes for when they play the Yankees as well), you better believe they should be happy they eliminated the Red Sox and silenced their fans who were looking to celebrate on their field.
That was their playoffs. I'm sure that's how Buck presented it to them.
They ruined the season for one of the two rich kids. They should be happy.
I edited Jason for years at RotoJunkie and count him as a friend. No exaggeration on your part, Mike.
What made last night all the more sweet was that the Longoria HR gave me my fantasy championship.
What made last night all the more sweet was that the Longoria HR gave me my fantasy championship. On the last play of the season, no less.
Sorry for the double post, it didn't post the first time, but I guess it did.
What was even more hilarious last night is that after Papelbum got 2 outs one of the announcers said, "I can see the look in his eye, he's not going to lose this one." 10 minutes later, he lost it. LOL!
It couldn't have been scripted better
A) Red Sox lose
B) On a Papelbon blown save
C) Crawford makes a poor defensive play
D) Longoria walk off = move into a HR tie in my fantasy league
The only way it could have been better is if Chad Gaudin/Sergio Mitre gave up the walk-off. I kind of like Proctor so that sucks for him.
I think Proctor actually gave a valiant effort. Everyone knew he was out there until it was over, and really, it was a more a matter of when "when" and "how" rather than "if."
Just as in his first go around with the Yanks, Proctor was set up to fail last night, so I certainly won't blame him because he did.
i wonder if that was his last shebang in the majors…
Good for Johnny D.
Excuse me, I have't watched much baseball this season but I have a question. Did the Red Sox win the World Series yet? Cuz I read that they have the best team since the '27 Yankees. Anyone?
The guy who wrote that at NESN also penned a nice little follow up today:
Couldn't be happier at this turn of events.
Great job Mike covering one of the strangest games/series in years. We are lucky to have you as well and will take you for as long as we can before the Yanks or pre$$ take you to greener pa$ture$.
Carl Crawford really has hands of stone. Terrible D. He appears to be the Nunez of LF.
The No. 1 song in Boston ………..
Dustmite Pedroia is in Manhattan filming a commercial before he heads to Boston and clean his locker out.
The other thing that makes it sweet that the Red Sox were so happy after winning that 14 inning game on Sunday after Girardi threw up the white flag with Proctor – lots of talk about "turning it around" nad "gritty Red Sox" (I think if the Yanks were in the same situation – struggling team has star like Granderson hitting a 14th inning home run off, say, Michael Bowden with the AAA Red Sox in the field and at the plate – Yankee fans would have still been focused on how bad their own team was playing and not overreacted to the victory.)
So, fast forward three days, who gives up the home run to Longoria – Proctor!! I have read some rumblings about Girardi "not respecting the integrity of the game" by not using our top tier relievers last night – total garbage. We have no obligation to Red Sox – in fact we played more regulars last night than I thought we would.
On a separate and related note about "integrity of the game", I hate the Mets just about as any Yankee fan but I think it is ridiculous the flack that Reyes is getting for getting a hit and coming out of the game. He earned that right (and other teams have done it like Yanks and Bernie Williams – i.e., not playing the full game) – right now if I were Mets I would do anything Jose Reyes asked me to do. And Mets and Reyes owe nothing to Ryan Braun.
Yesterday Kay was about to go off on ripping Mets ('it's a window into the soul of an organization") until LaGreca reminded him how other teams have done things on last day for ERA and batting championships. So then Kay switched his tune to attacking Reyes as a competitor and that batting title might be "tainted." Surprisingly LaGreca agreed with teh Reyes as villain story.
I wish Kay would just admit he is a Yankee fan – no "impartial observer" takes as much gleeful pleasure from Met mishaps as Kay does. He truly is a fraud – he says he only wants Yanks to win because Yanks employ him and that he only used to be a Yankee fan as a kid but only a Yank fan can truly take such pleasure from Met LOL mishaps and controversies.
I have read some rumblings about Girardi "not respecting the integrity of the game" by not using our top tier relievers last night – total garbage.
Betances, Kontos, Laffey, Valdes, and Brackman gave up 1 hit in a combined 5.1 IP last night. That's basically a AAA pitching staff.
Logan, Ayala and Wade gave up 7 runs in 2 IP last night. They're all probably going to be on the post season roster.
It's not like the Rays just beat up on roster filler…
I don't think you hate the Mets at all. LOL, whatevs.
I just hope we remember the Rays pitching staff has one of the lowest ERAS for a pitching staff in the AL.
Why are you worried about the Rays right now? They've got Texas to deal with and the Yankees and their fans should have all their thoughts and concerns focused on the Detroit Tigers…..the team we would have played regardless of who won the stupid wild card.
And just remember that we put up 7 runs on their ace (Price) last night and their big game guy (Shields) last week.
Get them while they're hot!
I want one.
Me too.
Given what's happened with Lackey and Crawford, I have a hard time seeing Red Sox management after this letting the team throw MORE money at big free agents, even with Ortiz, Drew, coming off the books.
Paplebon isn't even coming off, because despite last night he had a good year and the Sox have to resign him.
What's the answer to their rotation? Getting into a bidding war over CJ Wilson?
I think the Red Sox might go after a big name pitcher in a different way, so yeah, I'm going to make a BOLD prediction right now – don't be surprised to see Ellsbury and Gonzalez to be placed on hooks to at least see what the response back is.
I could see one of them in a Giants uniform next year.
Papelbon staying in Boston is not a fait accompli. In fact, I don't think they have the upper hand at all.
He'll sign w/whomever offers him the most $$$.
Which will be the Red Sox. They need him. They have to be real leery of giving Bard the closers spot after his poor second half. They need a closer and Paplebon is the best on the market
Wow. I'd be stunned to see either of those guys in a Giants uniform.
That being said, I think Crawford would've been a good fit out in SF, but I doubt the Sox would be willing to give up on him so soon. Another bad year though, and who knows?
Also, who are the Giants going to give up from their rotation? Surkamp hasn't turned out to be an upgrade over Sanchez, and Zito…who knows what they'll do with Zito.
Crawford and his contract are not going anywhere anytime soon.
Surkamp has barely gotten his feet wet. SSS .
Maybe Angels will come to Red Sox rescue like they did with Blue Jays and Vernon Wells contract. They will trade for Crawford and give Sox Santana and Haren.
By the way, Angels being cheap with Beltre (even though he really wanted to play there since he lives close by) while going after Wells (and giving away Napoli to boot while Blue Jays should have beenthe one paying Angels major bucks or bodies) – one of biggest blunders of off season.
Obviously Surkamp is a SSS, but my point was that there's almost no chance the Giants trade a member of the rotation, even for Ellsbury (a massive CF upgrade for them).
Gonzalez, Ellsbury, Pedroia, Crawford, Beckett, Bucholtz, Bard, Lackey and Lester are going nowhere. That would be due to contracts, team control, and talent.
I could definitely see if they float Lowrie, Scutaro, Youklis (Mike Lowell the 2nd coming) and Paplebon out there to see what is caught.
They have problems, no doubt. But I seriously doubt them making a run at CJ Wilson or Jose Reyes. They are in this predicament due to the Lackey contract, Beckett extension, Dice-K deal, Crawford and Gonzalez contracts, and letting Martinez and Beltre go. They are certainly not going to throw money at it, since they just did that and look where it got them.
Papelbon is a FA .
I am totally emotionally drained after last night. I was sitting on the edge of my chair, PRAYING for Reimold to get that hit in the bottom of the 9th. And when Andino (who will now forever be known to Red Sox Nation as "Robert Effing Andino") knocked the winning run in, it was pure poetry. I am so gleefully happy.
im just excited to have a 2day window on my favorite yankee blog without the sox trolls. i mean theyll be back friday night, but it will be nice to start reading through the comment sections again, at least for today and tomorrow afternoon.
Adrian Gonazalez believes that losing Dice-K cost the Sox the division:
"Daisuke [Matsuzaka], you have him in the rotation all year long, that's 10 more victories. We probably win the division."
What a fucking dope.
If anything, it was losing Buchholz.
Yeah because Wakefield and Weiland are sooooooo much better than Dice-K.
Ten more victories? That would be either Dice-K or Walter Johnson.
Wakefield basically replaced Matsuzaka in the rotation. In Wakefield's starts, the Red Sox went 12-11. He's suggesting that the Red Sox would have gone 22-1 in those games if Matsuzaka had pitched (despits going 4-3 when he was a starter this year)?
This is why there are not many GMs left that were former players…
I think he was referring to the loss of Buch and Dice-K.
I can't believe the number of people going off on the Yankees this morning for not using Rivera in the 9th because it was a one-run game. I mean, I know it shouldn't surprise me, yet it does. Skip Bayless (yeah, big surprise) was on First Take this morning practically worshiping the Phillies (!) for "respecting the game," even though he ignored everyone who tried to point out that the only reason they played all their starters and used Lidge was because they were riding an 8 game losing streak not too long ago.
They took Howard out really early. The Phils weren't trying much harder than the Yanks, really. The Braves just have an awful offense and their pen choked.
9/25/11 — Proctor provides life for Boston in the 14th.
9/28/11 — Proctor deals death for Boston in the 11th.
I heard no complaint from the Red Sox Nation when Proctor took the mound Sunday night. But they sure were mouthing off about his continuing presence last night.
Truth be told, though, Proctor pitched way better than Papelbon last night.
I read so many sites with editors (not just commenters) condemning the Yankees lack of effort. I think HBT basically said something like "The Orioles put forth a hard working effort while Girardi & The Yankees did anything but", seriously?! The Yankees who basically started everyone but a banged up A-Rod & Martin & were up 7-0 in the 8th? Yeah Betances started, but Girardi wasn't burning any starters, never know if the 1st two games may change their game 3 starter…but even looking at the box score after the parade of pitchers Girardi threw out there the ones that coughed up the game were actually guys that are going to be a part of the postseason in Logan & Ayala. Yeah Proctor was basically pitching mop-up but there really wasn't anyone worth throwing in there in a game that meant nothing to a team headed to the playoffs. I guarantee if the roles were reversed between Boston & The Yankees we'd be hearing nothing but "Francona did the smart thing, no need risking an injury in a game you don't need. Just good gritty sportsmanship. The Red Sox should be studied from the moment of birth as to make sure every child understands what being a human being & true American is about"
Yanks have no obligations to any team but themselves. That should end any and all conversations.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, but this was Jonathan Papelbon's first true blown save. What I mean by that is that his other two blown saves this season came when he had to get the final out or two in the 8th inning while inheriting at least one base runner. This blown save was all on him.
It's true. He had a very good year, though I'm loath to admit it. Especially after his shaky performance in '10, he'll no doubt get the large multiyear deal he's made no secret about desiring. I'm calling the Mets. You heard it here first, people.
Ha, that's a pretty bold prediction. I like it. I'll play it safe and say he re-signs with the Red Sox. Let's be honest, I don't think the Red Sox want Bard to be their closer just yet. I think they'll do whatever it takes to re-sign him.
Given how limited Mets resources are with Bay, Wright, Santana and (maybe) Reyes contracts and all the closers that will be free agents out there I think it would be foolish for Mets to go after Papelbon.
They might be able to get someone like Heath Bell or Broxton (assuming better health) much cheaper. I would imagine there would have to be a huge overpay to get Papelbon to move from "greatest team since '27 Yanks" to Mets.
After the way he has been treated (FO all but saying it's Bard's job next year) why in the world would he want to stay with the Red Sox? The Red Sox also might decide (based on recent experience) that it might not be such a great idea to make long term commitments to athletes on the wrong side of 30.
True – he may want to leave Red Sox but given his excellent performance this year, his contract should be too pricey for what Mets have and really need. I still think other holes have higher priority to be filled and other closers may be had cheaper.
I doubt he would want to sign with the Mets either.
The Yankees used their "A" relievers on Tuesday and blew the lead- Soriano gave up a three run homerun. Who's to say Robertson or Mo wouldn't have given up a run in the 9th?
Boston lost because Papelbon gave up two two out hits- and not to Markakis and Guerrero. It was to Reimhold and Andino. Have a nice winter guys.
You underestimate the FAIL – it was three two out hits. After striking out Jones and Reynolds, first hit was double by strikeout machine Chris Davis.
76-1 (Red Sox record with lead in ninth inning) will go down in history like 18-1 Pats
Ooh, that's catchy. I like that.
The Yankees used their "A" relievers on Tuesday
So when a Red Sox fan on another site said Girardi has not used Mo in a while he was either lying or completely wrong.
24 hours could count as "a while"…
LOL @ Soriano being a top reliever.
So, does anyone think Carl Crawford wishes he'd stayed in Tampa? Haha.
His fat wallet doesn't think so.
People who are complaing about the Yankees "effort" last night and the integrity of the game– do you realize it is a 162 game season? The entire season was not about last night. You can look back on the entire seaason and pick out many games where relievers were rested after pitching 2 or 3 days or veterans get the day off.
How about that Yanks-Rays game early in the year when Girardi left AJ in too long and he gave up like 6 runs in the 7th innning. Shouldn't Girardi have been aware that that decision would ultimatly cost the red Sox their destiny of being a playoff team?
And finally how about some credit to the Rays for a miracle game and great clutch moments. Dan Johnson is their Bernie Carbo.
Girardi had no right to rest his team's best relievers, starting pitchers, and hitters. He should have forced A-rod to start and had Sabathia, Rivera, Robertson, Soriano, and Joba all perpetually warmed in the bullpen.
Instead he murdered the game. Just like A-Rod.
Jason Stark
People are blaming everyone except the Red Sox. They lost 20 games in 29 days. It's a no-brainer why they'll be sitting at home.
Integrity of the game, my ass. These jokers are jumping up and down over the "wild card." And just voted in another game. Integrity of the game, or pure greed?
Proctor was the fall guy. The nerve of these idiots to think that we "needed" to use Mariano Rivera, David Robertson or Rafael Soriano in game 162 with absolutely nothing to gain.
If Boston just handled their business, there'd be no choke.
Another thing, why are people going off on Jose Reyes? Ryan Braun didn't even get a hit last night. In the words of the immortal Ric Flair, "To be the man, you gotta beat the man. Woooooo!!!!" LOL!!!
That's not true. Many people are calling this the most disappointing team ever.
As for Reyes, it seemed a bit cheap. They point back to Ted Williams i 1946.
That was 65 years ago!!!!!
I agree that it wasn't the best way to win it, but a win's a win. Cheap or blowout. Reyes battled back to have a good year, after being injured so much in recent years. A batting title does look good on his resume, esp. going into free agency. The ridiculous scorn he's getting is coming from people who've never come close to winning it.
On the other hand, it was classy to see Jeter out there trying to finish the season at .300. Didn't work, so I guess now come the "Jeter's finished" folks, saying "told you so."
wow Jim Rice is stupid
watching NESN he said that carl crawford isnt a good left fielder and needs to move to right
You forget that it was Jim Rice's Gold Glove left field play in Fenway that got him into the Hall, not his hitting.
Another angle on this post season is the number of former Yanks who have critical "roles" for their teams – Farnsworth as Rays closer, Damon as playoff tested veteran for hire, Berkman as rejuvenated slugger, Kennedy as the ace of Dbacks, Austin Jackson as leadoff hitter for Tigers who will be compared to Granderson, Coke as Detroit main lefty reliever.
Then there also is Cliff Lee who turned us down.
I just went up to my Red Sox fan staff member and played "Sweet Caroline" on my phone. I've never seen someone turn as many colors. Oh wonderful day.
Did anyone hear the parody of "Sweet Caroline" they played on Mike and Mike in the Morning? They played it yesterday morning, and I was worried it was just going to jinx us and lead the Sox to the playoffs.
My favorite part of the Sox collapse is that Manny Ramirez is now going to get a playoff share and possibly a ring.
Hahaha, that would be absolutely ridiculous. Would he really get a ring if the Rays end up champs? Surely Selig or someone would try to block it somehow…
Gammons was saying that Boston was thinking about moving Bard to the rotation.
Am I the only one pissed with Girardi for not getting Gardner in the game to get the SB title? He had enough guys on base who Gardner could have pinch run for. Joe's a bonehead.
At least Crisp didnt get on base to get a SB so they share the title.
The worst thing about this collapse was that the Rays didn't play that great down the stretch, just good enough to pass the Sox.
Sux fans talking about rumors of the team making a move for Fielder (DH), Reyes and K-Rod.

This rustic French rye bread recipe, known as pain de seigle, mixes wheat, rye, and barley flours flavored with a pain de campagne starter to produce a hearty loaf with a chewy crust. It tastes best fresh, with salted butter, to accompany savory main dishes. This is artisan bread at its best!
Prep Time: 24 hours
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 24 hours, 25 minutes
- Starter:
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rye flour
- 1/4 cup barley flour
- 1/2 teaspoon sourdough or pain de campagne starter
- 1 1/4 cups water
- Dough:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup rye flour
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- Whole starter
- 2/3 cup water
Stir together the starter ingredients and store, loosely covered, in a warm place(80F), for 18 to 24 hours.
To make the bread:
Stir the remaining dry ingredients into the starter and 2/3 cup water. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 1/2 hours.
Line a large baking sheet with non-stick foil and turn the dough out onto it. Shape the dough into a large round or oval, loosely cover it, and allow it to rise until it has nearly doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450F, spray the surface of the bread with water, place 3 diagonal slashes in it, and bake it for 20 to 25 minutes, until it turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool the rye bread on a wire rack.
This pain de seigle recipe makes 1 large loaf, or approximately 12 to 14 servings.

A new phase beginning in cooperation between Finland and Namibia
Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Paavo Väyrynen and Namibian Prime Minister Nahas Angula discussed development of cooperation between Finland and Namibia on Tuesday, 17 June. "The quality of cooperation between Finland and Namibia is changing because of the increase in income level in Namibia", Väyrynen said. In the past Namibia was one of Finland's central development cooperation partners.
During the press conference held following the talks, Väyrynen stated that Finland and Namibia have a long history of good relations which began already 150 years ago, and pointed out that Finland was a staunch supporter of Namibian independence.
"Now we are discussing new dynamic and effective cooperation modes between Finland and Namibia", Angula confirmed. Relations between the two countries have changed and cooperation is now more equal. The topics discussed by the ministers included, among others, development of trade relations, capacity building and bringing cooperation in the education sector and civil society within the scope of relations between the two countries.
Prime Minister Angula invited Finns to become acquainted with the cooperation possibilities available in Namibian trade. According to Angula, Namibia offers many opportunities, for instance, in the sectors of information and communications technology, transport, energy and the travel industry.

The following steps will work for anyone wishing to get into stockpiling food, but it is mostly directed at those who want to do it without spending much money by combining coupons with store promotions.
For new coupon clippers the practice of stockpiling grocery items bought with coupons can be confusing and overwhelming. Here are some basic steps to follow that will get you started on building a stockpile using coupons.
Build, Don't Buy, Your StockpileThe first golden rule to saving on groceries through stockpiling, is that over time, you want to fill your pantry with items purchased at a good price that you and your family will use. Useful stockpiles are built gradually, using coupon strategies that will maximize your savings.
Plan Space for Your StockpileA stockpile of grocery and personal items takes up space. Keeping your stockpile organized is essential and if you do not dedicate enough space to it you risk losing track of what you own. That is why the first step is to decide where you will keep your stockpile and prepare the space accordingly. Most stockpilers have at least one freezer and a few shelves dedicated to housing the products that they buy in bulk.
When deciding on the space do not forget that you will likely store some big items like toilet tissue, paper towels, and diapers.
Collect CouponsCoupons are everywhere and the more you collect, the more you will find.
Organize Your CouponsThere are many ways to keep coupons organized. Some people use shoe boxes. Others use big notebooks. No matter what system is used to organize coupons, having them organized is an essential step to building a stockpile. If you are struggling with keeping your coupons organized, check out these helpful links:
Decide on a Stockpile BudgetStockpiling is meant to save people money by purchasing a multiple amount of products at a cheap price. For most people, stockpiling does not substitute for the weekly trips to the grocery store, at least not at the beginning. It is essential for new stockpilers to decide on how much they can afford out of their weekly budget to spend on stockpiling - then stick to it. That means walking away from some super deals at times.
Remember, there will always be more super (and sometimes better!) deals out there and if you spend your entire grocery budget on toilet paper, what will you eat? Making a conservative and reasonable stockpiling budget and then sticking to it will keep you in the game. Getting in debt will completely defeat the benefits of using stockpiling as a strategy for saving money.
Read the Coupon BoardsThere are hundreds of coupon boards on the internet where people post daily the deals that are available in stores. Searching for forums specific to your area is a good start.
Know What Is On SaleSites like Couponmom keep an ongoing database of many of the national grocery stores weekly sales information. Also, investing in your local newspaper will keep you informed on local grocery store sales.
Let's Start Building a StockpileOK, you "get" all of the points mentioned above and you are ready to start building a stockpile, so what do you do next?
Here are a few examples of what how a stockpile first begins :
Sally has budgeted $20 a week for purchasing items to build her stockpile.
Scenario #1
- Sally has collected 10 coupons for $2 off one Wisk Laundry Detergent (any kind, any size).
- She has browsed her favorite coupon forum and learned that Target has the same detergent on sale for $2 off for the 32 load size. It is regularly $4.99, now priced at $2.99.
- Sally buys 10 and uses her coupons and pays $.99 for each one, a total of $9.90 for all 10.
- She puts the purchase onto her Target card and receives an additional 5% off.
- Total price: $9.41 ($2.99 x 10 = $29.90 - $20 in coupons = $9.90 - 5% = $9.41)
- Total savings: $20.49
- Sally also discovered that Kroger has the Kellogg's Pop-Tarts on sale for $1.60 per package (eight per package).
- She also finds out the there is a rebate for a $2 coupon when you buy 10.
- She has 10 coupons for the Kellogg's Pop-Tarts for $.75 off.
- She buys 10 of the packages using her coupons.
- Total price: $8.50 ($1.60 x 10 = $16.00 - $7.50 in coupons)
- Total savings: $7.50 plus later she will receive a coupon for $2
For under $20 she now has stockpiled laundry detergent and snacks for the kids and has a few dollars left over.
By using the examples above you can see how easy it is to begin building your own stockpile.
Knowing When to Stop StockpilingMany hardcore stockpilers will admit that they sometimes find it difficult to stop stockpiling things they really do not need or even want. They simply cannot pass up a good deal. Admittedly, stockpiling can become addicting, but sticking to a strict budget will keep things under control. Stockpiling just for the sake of stockpiling is a waste of money, energy, space and time.
What To Do
- Check your weekly store flyers.
- Browse internet coupon forums.
- Collect and organe coupons.
- Match coupons to store sales.
- Take advantage of product rebate offers.
- Stay on target with what you own, need and will use and buy accordingly.
- Use what you have stockpiled.
- Buy a stockpile of food that will go bad before you get to use it.
- Buy more than you have space to store.
- Buy more than you and your family can use within a reasonable amount of time
- Buy items your family doesn't eat.
- Go over budget.
