Baseball fans got a real treat last night as they witnessed history-in-the-making. Barry Bonds shone among fellow San Francisco Giants when he hit his 756th homerun in the 5th inning.

Have dreams of becoming a super slugger? Before you batter up, get the proper gear, equipment, and accessories that’ll help you perfect your performance on the diamond.

And while other merchants merely bunt, Paragon Sports is a heavy hitter when it comes to grand-slam savings. From now until September 5, they steal the spotlight and the bases with their End of Season Baseball Sale. Get 20% to 50% off bats, balls, bags, gloves, tops, bottoms, protective gear, and more!

Other places throw you a curve ball of gimmicks, but Paragon Sports gives you an undeniable strike, hitting the bull’s eye of deals.

I would’ve definitely taken advantage of this offer when I was in elementary school because I was on the softball team. Today I’m rusty, but a sale this great is convincing me to spend less time in front of the computer and more time off my fanny for physical activity.

Just the other day, I was looking for my old leather glove. To my surprise, I found it in the tornado disaster that is my room. To my disappointment, it was too small. But what did I expect? I used it in the 5th grade!

While Paragon Sports has men’s gloves, I was pleased to see that they also had ones specifically designed for the feminine hand. And at those prices, I know they will sell out fast.

My hair is the ‘Lock’ Ness Monster. (Oy! I should’ve known better than to begin this entry with a joke cheesier than a Technicolor, polka-dot bow tie.) Each strand seems to act of its own accord, much to my frustration. My tresses are like a terrible 2-year-old, if you will. And if it could talk, I’m convinced it would choose to scream a rebel yell.

So when Mother Nature acts up, I whip it into submission with my trusty CHI Ceramic Hairstyling Iron. Or I go with the flow and give into my curls with a pouf of Dove Curl & Sculpt Defining Mousse.

Drugstore.com provides everything I need and want when I attempt to wrestle with my hair. And until August 31, they’re having the biggest sale of the season! Use the coupon to save up to 50% on products from hair care and vitamins to webcams and cleaning supplies.

I took a quick click around and came across a cute purple catnip-filled octopus named Nigel for a super low price. This would make the perfect toy for my cat, Pingu Pumba Shakazulu Shaw.

And what else did I spy with my little eye? Drugstore.com also sells Chaser Freedom from Hangovers capsules that probably would’ve helped alleviate the headache I got after too many tequila and whiskey shots - my favorite combo.

If you’re like me, you care about the environment. Of course I’m a sinner, not a saint - I use tissue paper and sometimes I use plastic cutlery. However, I recycle, try to avoid buying bottled water (thank David Suzuki), and I use laundry detergent that’s biodegradable.

Check out the selection of great natural products that Drugstore.com has in stock and don’t wait until Earth Day to make a difference.

Sneak Some Zucchini onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Night - I don’t know where the heck this day started, but it’s too hilarious NOT to write about. So you get some zucchini and leave it on your neighbor’s porch… and then what? Do you light it on fire like the old bag-o-dog-poop trick? Do you season it in case they get snacky? If you have a theory, leave a comment!

National Underwear Day - Oh dear. Look at that. Another holiday when we shoppers are just FORCED to buy stuff. I mean, you can’t very well celebrate National Underwear Day without ordering new undergarments, can you? Of course not. But, you CAN stretch your dollar at Bare Necessities, where you can get 10% off various brands and other great discounts.
