No one expected much from the Toronto Blue Jays in 2005. But surprisingly, prior to the all star break Toronto pitching managed to remain in the American League top 10 while their battling ranked 5th overall in the AL with a collective .268 team average. Unfortunately for Toronto it was all downhill from there as they slid to a final disappointing 80-82 record and fell 15 games behind the Red Sox and Yankees to end their season in 3rd place.Toronto outfielder Vernon Wells (.269 28 97) provided most of the Blue Jays' power numbers in 2005 with former Arizona Diamondback and newly acquired Shea Hillenbrand (.291 17 82) helping by splitting time between 1st and 3rd base. The rest of the infield produced much of the team's offensive in 2005 including 2nd baseman Orlando Hudson (.315 10 63) and 3rd baseman turned 1st baseman Eric Hinske (.262 15 68).

Credit Repair is Not HardCredit repair can be shockingly effective. And it is not difficult. In fact the biggest barrier people face is not in the technical detail of credit repair, it is in their attitude. A small attitude adjustment can make the difference between mediocre results and a life changing outcome. You must approach your credit repair project with an attitude that combines a skeptical view of the accuracy of credit reporting with faith in your own ability to prevail against the corporate machinery of the credit bureaus.The Shocking TruthMore than three quarters of all credit reports contain errors. This may not make much of an impression, but combined with the following fact you may start to perceive the importance of credit repair in a new light. Errors are not only tolerated by regulators, they are overtly accepted. A close reading of the Fair Credit Reporting Act will reveal that Congress values the viability and the ongoing profitability of the credit bureaus over the absolute accuracy of the reporting system.The Scope of the ProblemThis means that the credit bureaus will only go so far in their quest to eliminate the errors that appear on the credit reports of...more
