Don't know if this has been mentioned, but Lobo gave birth to a baby girl on Thursday.

I think that was the theory I floated.

I think one person asked. I don't recall anyone being pissed off. Considering the circumstances, none of the rest of us expected her there. I'm sure Spoon of all people understood.

"T-Spoon
Posted: By Melissa, August 8, 2006 1:31 p.m. ET
Spoon! Spoon! Spoon!
Spoon! Spoon! Spoon!
Spoon! Spoon! Spoon!
So it was Saturday night and I was in Manhattan. Was I at a Broadway show? No. Was I on a date hangin in the Village? No. I was in the Mecca of Sports, Madison Square Garden, for Teresa Weatherspoon Appreciation night. While the rafters were not rockin, the joint was jumping and the cheers were impressive.
There will be lots of discussion about T’s tribute. Questions are being asked about why her jersey was not retired. Some fans are not happy that the only time you will see t’s name and number is on the floor used by the Liberty. If the rafters are filled with men’s jerseys covering several sports, why is not Teresa Weatherspoon’s jersey up there?
A section of the floor now has [11 WEATHERSPOON] writing on it. White letters on black paint. It is across the court from the home bench. I am hoping it was put there only for the ceremony in front of Spoon’s mom. The Power of that number and that name will infuse every New York Liberty team id it was placed in front of the home bench. If every time New York walked on to its home court Spoon’s spirit was with them, that team would be almost impossible to beat.
On second thought... forget what I just said.
We fans have a special relationship with T-Spoon. You hear that over and over and over. But have the “experts” really sat down to figure out why that is?
Spoon knew something that today’s players have forgotten. Fans are what keep this league alive. Fans are everything. Spoon is ever courteous, friendly, respectful and a complete goof ball with the kids. When the league started Spoon was finally able to come home to the States and play in front of her family. That is something she has never forgotten.
If a fan isn’t asking you for an autograph, there is something wrong. And Spoon knows that. Even retired, Spoon is available to the people who approach her. “Can I take a picture with you? Would you sign {insert name of item here}?” each receive the same reply... “Sure.”
There was a small little girl carrying a plaque, to center court, that said, “There is only one T in Liberty”. It seems Spoon spoke with her team and encouraged them as they went through their basketball season. The kid could not stop crying. And it was the only time T stop her tears... to comfort a kid. And that plaque is now inside the center where the kids play.
That was all Spoon. Anything for kids. ANYTHING.
Sue Wicks was in the house. And Kym Hampton. The hug at center court included Becky. And lasted until Spoon could stop crying. Can someone tell me where Lobo was?"
....the comment just seems like she's pissed that Lobo wasn't there...maybe I'm just misreading her blog....and she really was just asking....sorry if that was the case....i just tought by now everyone knew she was about to POP...my bad!!

| Unless Melissa is more than one person, like I said I only recalled one person asking where she was. Everyone involved with Spoon's ceremony knew what Rebecca was up to.

Another Girl for Lobo
Rebecca Lobo and Sports Illustrated columnist Steve Rushin had their second daughter, Maeve Elizabeth Rushin, Thursday at 5:10 a.m. at Hartford Hospital. Maeve Elizabeth was 6 pounds, 15 ounces, 20 inches, and joins her older sister Siohban. Mom and baby are doing well, Lobo reported Saturday, as both Rushin girls napped simultaneously. ... |
Unless Lobo went with a really unusual spelling the Courant has misspelled her other daughter's name though. It's Siobhan.

Indeed. You'd think the fact that the couple named their new girl Maeve would be a tip-off that they're going for Irish names, and someone at the paper could have checked for the proper spelling.
