AUBURN - Meineke Car Care stayed alive in the consolation bracket of the Auburn Players League East softball postseason with wins over Kung Pow and Interstate Battery.
First in line was Kung Pow in a six-inning game at Tribou Field. Meineke took advantage early on with Mike and Brad O'Connor hooking up for a father-and-son hit-and-run duo. Scott Albert and Ryan Wilson followed to close the door on Pow.
The second game featured some great defense for Meineke in a 6-1 victory. Gary Chapman led the way with a big-league catch in center field. Chapman also had a good night at the plate. Greg Rose and Bob Sawyer kept things going with solid base hits. John Langelier was the winning pitcher and helped himself out with a couple of hits.

....the credit unions of America saw the scheme the Big Banks were creating and they did not join in! The credit unions and small local banks were the only financial institutions that remain sound to this day. Wall Street and the Big Banks created this mess along with the US Congress to show the world "how strong America is" even after an event such as 9/11 happening to us!
I was in the housing market from 2005 to 2007. I walked into a Wells Fargo office with some homes that I was interested in buying. One was an apartment building. The two women behind the desk I met with had eyes the big as saucers (their greed was seeping out!) looking at that one and said to me, "We can also give you a $120,000 construction loan in addition to buying the building!". What should have been a $125,000 mortgage had suddenly doubled before my eyes. I walked out of the office disgusted. Why? Because I couldn't afford it and because it was very apparent to me that they didn't care.
Anyway, stop blaming poor people for the Housing Bubble, when it was the banks who took all the risk!
