Here are some Tweets from  that a BigSoccer poster compiled and shared … hopeful signs for the upcoming Breakers schedule (IMHO):
2010 Breakers schedule preview: expect two Boston area visits by Marta again this year, only with Gold Pride this time around.
2010 Breakers schedule preview: expect us to experiment with a couple (likely two) Friday night [...]

First off, “Thanks be to Beeg,” (as we like to say in these here parts) for sharing HoopFeed with me.  If you’re on Twitter and interested in Women’s B-ball, you’ll want to follow.  (And for some of you guys, it may make it worthwhile to get onto Twitter – it’s got great info!)  This’ll be [...]

Where did the time go?
This is one of those mornings when I wonder whether it’s better to post something or just remain silent.  I can’t do even a smidgeon of justice to the situation in Haiti, which is tragic beyond comprehension.  I am glad that Obama seems to be responding with swiftness and meaningful support [...]

Morning everybody! It’s looking like a good reading day here in New Hampshire, although it’s early yet!
The Bookeaters had an excellent meeting at the Exeter Inn last night, where we broke bread and discussed The Lincolns: Portrait of a Marriage. We all loved (and most of us read) the book, and I would highly recommend [...]

No Phillies game last night – and the Red Sox got pounded.  Love the Sox, but Josh Beckett?  Not so much.  If games like last night taught him some humility, I’d come around. But most likely, it’ll just sharpen his already nasty, cocky edge.  You’re a dink … and thinking about you is just getting [...]

HollyCornblog probably won’t like this post … but here goes.
First we have an interview with Pia, who talks about the USWNT and her take on the WPS — tough to hear in parts, but interesting.  Looking for someone to step into Kate’s spot … among other things.  (Sounds pretty tepid about Milbrett there at the [...]

Goal.com named the Breakers’ Kelly Smith their Player of the Week for this past week in the newly-minted WPS season — a nice (and well-deserved) honor.
“I have to admit, as a long-time Kelly Smith fan, I’m almost inclined to put her name in every week. Though she is nearly always good, she was superlative this [...]

The Chicago Red Stars beat the St. Louis Athletica in front of @5,000 fans at their season opener.  Lindsay Tarpley tallied the goal in the 78th minute for the Red Stars in this defensive battle.
Much as I hate the MatchTracker feature for the USWNT (only because I hate it that so few of their games [...]

Okay, of that group, which one(s) would you put your money on?
Citi had a good day and the market bounced … meanwhile, Newsweek has put out a great piece outlining the warring amongst the rich – a greed-fed battle they dub “the war between the estates.”

In the past two years, since the market peaked, investors [...]

Hmmm – the usual internet issues this morning – and an e-mail from FairPoint indicating that my webspace is now available.  Hey FairPoint – it ain’t my webspace that’s the problem.  Could you maybe help me with the little e-mail issue that I’ve now contacted you about TWICE?  (Never mind the time spent waiting on [...]

Yup, Auburn (“You can’t win if you can’t shoot“) lost to Georgia last night, leaving Andy Landers and Geno Auriemma both very happy.  Meanwhile, Angie Bjorklund and the Lady Vols gave Pat Summitt her 999th win …
I get so depressed looking at Andy Landers sometimes.  Just feels like I am being dragged (against my will, [...]

So it’s looking like Boltgirl vs. JordanCornblog for the NFC Championship next week in sunny Arizona!
Who’d a thunk?
If you are looking for something to fill the empty, aimless hours ’til game time … and the WPS Draft isn’t enough to keep you occupied … check out Ultimate Face Flash.
It’s kinda cool!
Even cooler … if you [...]

I’m back at it today – back at work – back in the real world.  Wondering what it’ll be like, as I write in the wee hours.  The sky’s still dark – not even a sliver of dawn yet, at the eastern horizon.  This morning I’ll get something posted before Alice checks!
Boltgirl was asking about [...]
