Nancy,

I don't see a reason why we couldn't have a mixed male/female team. :)

I figured you would guard The President.

Like Marybeth, I'm a Mets fan. (And a Cubs Fan. Fat lot of good all that spending did for either of those teams, huh?) However, I am disgusted with the way the Yankees have robbed the people of New York City, particularly the Bronx, for their new stadium. I ranted about it at my blog today, but in short, the Yankees wanted a new stadium, they took one of the few public parks in the South Bronx to build it on, taxpayers gave them all sorts of financing, and the Yankees have yet to live up to their word that they will create new parks to replace the one they grabbed.

Note that the Bronx is the poorest urban county in the United States, and the South Bronx is the poorest neighborhood in the Bronx. Also, the Bronx has the highest obseity rates in NYC. So, seriously, who needs the park more? This is case of the wealthy and entitled stealing from the poor makes me so angry. So no, I am not celebrating a Yankees win because it was such a loss for so many people. Bah!

As a Mets fan, this was a tough year, World Series wise. However, what's getting me through is there's only 106 days til pitchers and catchers. And as someone pointed out, in the new season, my team is tied for first place:)

Love this!

OK I love this conversation on so so many levels. Thanks for writing about it!

I'd say let's put Tamika Catchings and some Candace Parker in there (or a whole host of WNBA stars) as well...so he can get the full effect with emphasis.

Your are so right and in regard to all of it,,, As i said to you in my email to you you are not alone You actually sound exhausted and I am NOT surprised why ... I must say having spent time state side i was genuinely shocked in the USA at how aware of difference as opposed to sameness in the other was so prevelant and frankly exhausting to witness .... America is at stage of witnessing it's self and what it thinks the other is maybe !! We can but hope that the world will evolve

Awesome. Geithner is all mine.

It's scary how well I know you.

I think I may live in your head.

I just spelled it wrong to throw him off of his game.

Arne you glad his name is Arne

Devra Renner — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:30:49 -0600

But maybe you're calling him "Arnie" so he'll be caught off guard and I can run around him and get my left-handed lay up shot. I bet that's your plan...

Sarah — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:19:19 -0600

Devra, you can guard Arnie Duncan.

So, you, me, Lieberman...

We really only need two more ladies.

You and Nancy can stay at my house.

I declared myself basketball eligible too

Erin Kotecki Vest — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:07:37 -0600

...but I really don't have anywhere NEAR Lieberman's credentials.

Also- I assume we'd play with a men's ball, not a women's ball. I mean, there are some 'practical' reasons you might not play co-ed. But if it's pickup games? Heck yes... time to lace up ladies.
