Bad Title, But Lots of Thursday Stuff

First off, get well wishes to HollyCornblog who is recovering from a bad ankle sprain sustained in a nasty fall at work.  Keep it iced and raised ... and, as we like to say to Willie (and to Ruby - but with much less effect), "Heel!"

Scary Solo Scenario

Here's a video of Hope Solo describing a very scary mishap in goal - @ 10 years ago - down in Mexico. Glad you're okay, Hope - and glad you're checking out those goals, now to get the lay of the land! Click to continue reading...

Palin Waits for Sign From God (and Sorts Through Her RNC Wardrobe)

0
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 [.

Soccer and Sneakiness On Monday Morning

First the soccer news, which includes Angela Hucles' 100th cap (in a career year for her) and another win (over South Korea) for the USWNT.  With two more games left in their post-Olympic Tour, it woulds like the team is pleasing Pia!

Some Soccer, Some Other Stuff-It’s Saturday

It's a warm, foggy Saturday morning here in post-election New Hampshire.  Most of the political signs are put away, and gunshots now ring through the hillsides. Rebellion against the new socialist state?  Post-election right wing despair?  Nah.  Hunting season.  It's more personal this year than some, as the doe and two fawns that we've been watching [.

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 [.

Okay, I'm not quite letting go yet.  Here's a bit about the chaos in Philly, post World Series win!  We begin in an anonymous house, somewhere in Philly, as the Phils close it out and some college students watch ... then spill out into the street.

There's lots to be said for symmetry!  Indeed, back in '80, the first time the Phillies won it all, yours truly was about to turn 28 ... and now here we are 28 years later!  Yeah, symmetry!  :)  On a chilly night in Philly, they did it again!

Rain, Rain, Rain … and a Little More Palin Pain

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 [...] Click to continue reading...

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!

Yours truly went to see Willie Porter last night - an absolutely wonderful concert!  It was one of his best (in my relatively limited experience as a groupie).  He played a long and varied set and came back for several encores, with the folks at Tupelo going wild!  He's a guitar god ... really ...

Help, I’m Stranded on Second - Save Me! Save Me! (Just a Bad Dream, Phillies Fans, Really!)

0
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 has always been an issue.  It's a threat to the fabric of our democracy ... and a core strategy of the GOP.  Nice!

It was a good run, Red Sox ... but now it's up to the Phillies to take the devil out of those Rays, I guess.  A rested Philadelphia team meets the Rays in Florida for game 1 on Wednesday night.  Here's hoping for either a good, exciting, long Series or (my personal favorite) a four [...] Click to continue reading...

Guess we missed out on the basil this year!  This morning there's serious frost everywhere.  Stern frost.  Dour frost.  A layer of it whitens the windows and powders the ground.  The nasturtiums still look miraculously green, but the zinnias and cosmos are brown.  November brown.  This frost will disappear as the sun rises and warms [.

It really wasn't a contest at Dodger Stadium last night ... and wasn't one at Hofstra, either.

It wasn't looking good for Chase Utley and crew when yours truly hit the hay last night.  But 40 year old Matt Stairs' 2-run homer put the Phillies in the win column for the 3rd time in the NLCS - and on the brink of their first World Series since 1993.
