Sacramento-The Sacramento Rivercats played tough on Saturday night taking it to the first place Fresno Grizzles, winning 12-4.

Rivercats Fans Arrive Early for Big Game
The Rivercats took the lead early and never looked back. Fresno and Sacramento now share first place in the Pacific Coast League Southern Division. Who remains in first will be determined today in Sacramento with a 1:05 p.m. start time.
(Saturday nights at Raley field includes great baseball and fireworks after the game!)
Oh, my gosh!!! Throw out everything that is taught in your intro to economics courses.
The latest from California: Governor Schwarzenegger is now asking for a 2 billion dollar loan from CalPERS to close the state budget deficit. CalPERS is a state agency that administers the pension and health benefits of public employees. This is the same agency that Schwarzenegger claims is unsustainable because of current retirement and health benefits. And now he thinks a loan from this unsustainable agency is a smart way to get to a balanced budget? Job creation fueled by spending California citizens will help resolve the state budget deficit. This spending along with a legislature that is not penny wise and pound foolish. Schwarzenegger is really asking for a Pay Day loan and CalPERS giving him a high interest credit card will NOT solve the budget crisis.
The latest Nationally: Where did all these austerity politicians come from? These hypocrites were not around when our former president decided tax cuts for the wealthy and unlimited government spending on two war fronts was affordable. Now in the middle of a recession we are suppose to have sleepless nights worried about the deficit? Unlike these austerity politicians, I worry more about U.S. citizens not being able to pay their mortgages or being able to put food on the table. This takes us back to intro to economics. Two thirds of our economy is based on spending. Our economy will not grow until more Americans are working again, buying cars, homes, appliances, and feeling confident about the future. The deficit being reduced has more to do with the psychology and how Americans feel about their possibilities than nutty politicians who suddenly have found a new religion and think deficits are evil.
Political ideology says austerity is needed NOW! Economic policy says we need job creation NOW! and when tax revenues increase we will cut government spending and the deficit will come down.
Oh my gosh!!!

Pretty Tasty Stuff!
Fox and Goose is a great English Pub in Sacramento on R and 9th Street. The people who work there are friendly and so are the customers. My latest meal was Banger and Mash and it was very good.

Good Outside Eating
I like Burgers and Brew. I visit the Sacramento restaurant often. The variety of burgers and brews are extensive. Their menu includes soups, salads and sandwiches. Burgers and Brew has a second location in Davis, California. It is located on 3rd Street.

I have only eaten at Shady Lady once so my opinion does not carry much weight. My meal was very good. Their drink menu is long so eating is good, but many people go just for the beverages.
Here is a link to the Shady Lady menu on their web page. Just click HERE.
