LEGION BASEBALL: 1991 Bears came one win shy of ALWS – pottsmerc.com

The 1991 Boyertown team brought home the Region Two and Pennsylvania State $\"Regional-mid-atlantic\"$ championships before suffering a heart-wrenching 2-0 defeat to Brooklawn in the Mid-Atlantic Natonal Regional final.

Brooklawn, by the way, went on to win its first national championship at Bear Stadium, while Boyertown was let wondering what could have been.

\”You feel like you\’re so close,\” said Boyertown manager Rick Moatz, who was in his fourth year at the helm in \’91, \”but yet it was so far.\”

The \’91 Legion season began a little later than usual for the Bears, after their high school team staged a memorable run to the PIAA Class AAAA championship — beating North Allegheny 5-4 in eight innings in the final.

Suffice it to say the Legion squad more than made up for lost time in a dominating regular season effort.

The Bears dropped their opener to Shillington 6-2, before reeling off 25 straight victories to wrap up the Berks League\’s regular season title.

Boyertown featured a deep and quality staff fronted by right-handers Matt Spade and Jed Johnson and bolstered by fellow righties Jamie Sellers and Derek Witman. Continued…

NEW YORK TIMES FANS DISSENT -cnbnews.net

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on a news article in yesterday\’s New York Times on the Catholic Church:

A priest, Fr. Roy Bourgeois, decides to break with the Catholic Church\’s teachings on ordination and \”ordains\” a woman in an illicit ceremony. He is given three years to recant, but he refuses, and is now threatened with excommunication. He is a hero to Church critics, especially the New York Times. Had he been a Times reporter who decided to break with the newspaper\’s editorial position on abortion—putting a positive spin on pro-life leaders, while casting aspersions on abortion-rights advocates—he would not have lasted three weeks. So much for the glory of dissent.

Braun: Bit by bit, priest works to mend Camden\’s tattered heart | NJ.com

The priest looks up at a stained-glass window of the old Sacred Heart church and points at two small holes. Bullet holes, a kind of grotesque memorial to the brief life of Anjanea Williams, 20, shot to death while doing nothing more momentous than buying a sandwich at nearby Frank’s Deli, one of the few local eateries to survive the collapse of the South Camden neighborhood.

\”Like the others, she will be remembered,\” says Rev. Michael Doyle, the church’s pastor. Williams will be remembered at the church’s annual \”Mass for the Murdered,\” celebrated in November for those in Camden who died violently in the previous year.

Violent crime is Sacred Heart’s invisible and deadly parishioner, a stalker that last year took 54 lives — compared to 19 murders in Glasgow, Scotland, considered the murder capital of Europe, with a population seven times the size of Camden’s, 585,000 to 79,000.

Doyle doesn‘t hide what he feels. The 76-year-old priest with the

Morning Bell: Blame the Washington Bureaucracy for High Gas Prices

Americans are paying more for gasoline today than they were six $\"Taxpayer\"$ weeks ago when President Obama released 30 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. In the Gulf of Mexico, meanwhile, 10 drilling rigs — more than one-third of the fleet — have left on Obama’s watch.

This incomprehensible energy policy is not only costing Americans more money at the pump. Bureaucratic delays in Washington are also stunting job growth and adding to the budget deficit.

Services firms expand at slowest pace in 17 months – Road Runner

WASHINGTON — Service businesses such as restaurants, hotels and financial companies experienced their weakest growth in 17 months in July.

The report Wednesday from the Institute for Supply Management confirms other data that show the economy is struggling two years after the recession officially ended.

The trade group of purchasing executives said its index for services companies fell to 52.7, from 53.3 in June. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion.

A slumping service sector put Wall Street on track for another wild day of trading. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 150 points after the report was released. But a late-day rally erased all the earlier losses, and the Dow closed up 29 points to end an eight-day losing streak.

The ISM index covers 90 percent of the work force. It reached a five-year high of 59.7 in February, but has fallen since then. The July reading was the lowest since February 2010.
