This is an awesome article about the new firebrand on the soccer block … Natasha Kai. After a rocky start, Pia is pleased … and when Pia’s pleased, I do believe that we all are.
(All of us, that is, with the exception of HollyCornblog, of course … who is going to have a very tough [...]
Sorry to be a little late on the uptake, but I was away … so just watched the USWNT vs. Australia game last night. The game ended in a 5-4 win for the US and included some moments of offensive brilliance (many, actually) and some pretty scary miscues on the defensive end.
Angela Hucles scored the [...]
Hey – the Phillies are in first place as of last night’s win over the Giants – and Chase Utley is chasing a Hall of Fame kind of season with the best April he’s ever had – and almost the best in Phillies’ history! Now, if only Ryan Howard and a couple of pitchers could [...]

Bush has done another end run around the Constitution, the separation of powers … in other words, the usual. This time it’s the $1 billion that appears to have gone from the Canadian government to Bush friends in the timber industry via a deal negotiated by the Bush administration. Happily, I am able to report [...]

In a rain-delayed game that saw the return of Heather Mitts to the pitch … and three goals in the final 6 minutes (including stoppage time) … the USWNT defeated Australia 3-2. It was a wild one (judging from the MatchTracker commentary, and from the write-up on the Matilda’s site, too!) Wondering just how wet [...]

First off, don’t forget the USWNT plays Australia at 7PM ET in Cary, NC … on MatchTracker (of course) … not on TV! And another thing assigned to the “unfortunate” category … if you check out the stats on the USSF site they are seriously out of date. Come on guys!
Last night we [...]
Check out the USWNT Blog for updates on preparations for tomorrow’s match against Australia … including the return of Aly Wagner, a visit from Lil, Keegan Markgraf’s snack with his Mom … etc.!
And here is a great interview with Julie Foudy … on the Olympics, soccer, leadership, women in sports, emotion in sports, etc. Good [...]
I’m starting off very randomly today … we’ll see if some shape emerges.
First, I see that the Flyers went to OT and won their game 7 (unlike the Bruins … oops) and move on in the Stanley Cup playoffs, where they’ll next face top-ranked Montreal. Rock on, Broadstreet Bullies! (Tells you the last time I [...]
The race in Boston is over and Deena Kastor took first place with a time of 2:29.35. The Boston Trials site has the full results, as well as links to additional information about each runner. Kasie Enman finished in 11th place with a time of 2:37.14. Heidi Westerling was 26th with a time of 2:41.09. [...]

Good news for folks in the DC area, the USWNT will be playing Canada at RFK on Saturday, May 10. I don’t see anything about TV coverage … but hope that’ll change as the time gets closer. So far we’ve only ONE opportunity to see this team and that’s on May 3rd vs. Australia. That’s [...]
I’m referring, not to a candidate … but to another undefeated, #1 team from New England that’s been handed its first loss (by a team from the greater NY area). This time it was the Lady Huskies … who met their match at Rutgers last night. It was a real barnburner of a game … with the Scarlet Knights [...]
Oh my! Check out # 10 on the stats from this morning! That’s two hits from down under. (My guess is it was Evonne Goolagong who did it!) Now we’ll turn our focus to Tanzania.

Great News! And Another Cool Thingie from My Sister … and [...]
Something went kerrflooey with something last night, and I’ve been receiving hundreds of e-mail notifications of my friend CB’s comment on one of my entries. She said, “What Giants?” and I responded, “They might be Giants.”
Both scintellating remarks have since been deleted in an effort to stop the e-mails.
So far, no success … and I continue [...]
Nothing yet on the Australia front …
Oh No! I see that the Belmont High Girls Basketball team lost to Franklin High by two points – after soundly beating a top team in their class (Mascoma) on Monday. Wonder what happened. (This will be of absolutely no interest to people outside of Central New Hampshire – and even [...]
