Today I was sad to see a Google Alert re. the Breakers indicating that Jen Nobis is out for the season (torn ACL). Sounds like she had been working her butt off in the off-season, which makes this all the sadder. She had 2 goals in 11 games for a generally lackluster Breakers’ offense … [...]
Boltgirl has a nice write up of the WPS draft … a brief reminder (especially heartening to the mid-Atlantic states right about now) that baseball is on the way … and a little link at the end that you must click! All I can say is OMG. Or did I say it already? I sure [...]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. You know what the worst part of it is?
That this guy was there with his friend Jerry Jones – and that he had a good time.
He should NEVER have a good time.
And speaking of folks who should never have a good time, of course Dick Cheney is perennially on my [...]
After gorging myself on cherry pie and rolls, I need something that will take away my desire to eat. This video seems to do the trick!
Class Acts!

Good January Morning! It is bitter, bitter cold here as dawn etches the horizon’s edge with wan light. Here’s a sunset photo shared by HollyCornblog yesterday … the sunset light hitting the hulking wreck off the Cape May, NJ shoreline. (It makes me think of the cold, dark havoc and destruction wrought by the Bush [...]
As a metaphor for the Republican right wing, that headline pretty much says it all. They sport a sensibility that’s moralistic as all get out – yeah. But it’s a very literal and childish morality. Black and white – no nuances or doubts allowed. Oh, and it’s based on “signs” from a god who is [...]

It’s day two of what continues to feel like a new era. Obama faces a plethora of daunting tasks, and we are on notice that for hope to burn bright, we need to roll up our sleeves and help. That’s the difference. Obama’s no white-haired GOP fake Father-Knows-Best, but a competent and inspiring leader who’s [...]
Having been asleep at the switch on the soccer front for awhile, I was pleased to receive a Google Alert about the USWNT’s most recent win. This one coming in Richmond, VA, where South Korea fell to the USWNT. Vic Dorr, Jr. describes the game in the Times Dispatch. Sounds like Angela Hucles continues her [...]

The Phillies-Rays game was suspended after the Rays tied it in the top of the sixth. When they’ll resume is anyone’s guess – the weather map sure doesn’t look auspicious for tonight. IMHO, it’s be nice if the delay went long enough that I could catch up on my sleep – and Hamels could pick [...]

That’s really it, just WOW!
The Phillies’ bats came alive in a real big way last night, as they blew the Rays out 10 to 2. Tonight’s game five, still in Philadelphia, could be the end of the Series!
It’s great to see Ryan Howard producing the way we know he can. And how amazing was that [...]
How many base runners have the Phillies stranded now? I guess the glass-half-full perspective would be that they’re creating chances and will start cashing in eventually. (Just hope “eventually” comes within the next couple of games!) According to the NY Times the Phils are 1 for 28 with runners in scoring position — and Ryan [...]
Thanks, ChristopherCornblog!
Voter suppression is a core strategy of the GOP — and it’s a threat to the fabric of our democracy. Share this … get the word out!
From the scary … to the ridiculous … read about how Governor Palin and the RNC are spending money while “real Americans’” wallets are in dire straits. Nice! [...]
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, [...]
The Phillies pulled out a 3-2 win with a big sixth inning and so are up 1-0 over Manny and the Dodgers (a sixties Motown group that some of you may remember fondly — I certainly do). Cole Hamels looked a little shakier than I like him to, but he got the win, and I’m [...]
