As the rain pelts and the wind howls outside, I’m on my second cup of coffee, contemplating a blank screen and toying with the idea of writing something really silly.
JordanCornblog has been feeling rather rudderless of late. (Talking about the blog here, not the actual person.) Being “ruddered” was never what I’d call a strong [...]
Phillies won, Red Sox won .. and I’ve got the Slingcatcher hooked up and working in Dewd’s room!
Meanwhile, the Breakers will be honoring soccer great Maren Meinert at the game with the Freedom on May 17th at Harvard Stadium. WUSA fans remember her fondly as a key ingredient in the Breakers’ success – most especially [...]
If you’ve been paying any attention to JordanCornblog’s track record on sports predictions, you’ll know that it’s pretty much best to ignore anything that I say. (This is, by the way, very freeing in some ways.)
So here are my week 6 WPS predictions … and for more informed previews, check out Christa Mann’s Week 6 [...]
… but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the nearly 5,000 Breakers fans who trooped to Cambridge to see their Boston Blues defeat the St. Louis Athletica 2-0 in their home opener at Harvard Stadium. Here are the Week 3 WPS Power Rankings by Jo-Ryan Salazar. (I’ll track these through the season on my WPS [...]
Happy Saturday everyone! Looks like it’s going to be one beauty of a day. HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew should be on their way in another couple of hours and if I disappear for a while after they arrive, well, you’ll know what I’m up to!
Let’s see what’s happening in the world of soccer, first. I see [...]
Spoken like a true Phillies phan, I know.
There’s lots of news this morning on the Boston Breakers front, starting with the fact that an agreement has been reached between the Boston Aztecs and the Boston Breakers. Under the agreement the Aztecs will become the reserve team of the Breakers. Seems like a positive [...]
In women’s soccer news, there’s the fact that the USWNT posted its final win of 2008 last night, downing China 1-0 in Detroit on the strength of a Heather O’Reilly goal. Pia’s team finishes out the year with a record-setting record: 33-1-2. And maybe the even better news is that there were more than 11,000 [...]
The USWNT plays China in snowy Detroit today (while the UAW and the rest of us wait for news of the auto industry bailout … and snow falls in Michigan, and here in NH .. and presumably pretty much everywhere in between)! After what Pia did with this team in the Olympics … Obama might [...]
No baseball to report on. No debate. I am forced to move to Plan B. (Don’t try this at home.)
What brought me to this? It began with my morning visit to Woot — a site that HollyCornblog turned me onto some years ago. I check it first thing and sometimes find really good deals. (Plus, [...]
This morning I checked BlueHampshire and was pleased to see this piece about the level of desperation in the McSame camp.
I groaned aloud last night when I heard Palin regurgitating that Bill Ayers story yet again. Despicable and empty ploy … but what I like about it is how it reflects the ongoing disarried and [...]

The USWNT defeated Jamaica 6-0, helped along the way by Abby Wambach’s 2-goal, 1-assist performance. (As an aside, Wambach’s career total for goals is now 91 in 113 games … quite a pace!)
This win means that the US will play Mexico in the sem-finals (in front of an already-sold out crowd of 22,000). According to US Soccer, [...]
