Okay, the folks in front of me

need to sit down. I can’t see the game. Grrr…

Lots of ball movement for the Mystics

all those passes use up clock and get the score.

if anyone (besides JT) is reading

I would like to brag that Ted Leonsis, the owner of the Mystics, tweeted my article about Mo Currie. :)

Fan behind me says "she can't stop a fast break. I've never even heard of Lindsey Harding"

and then that happens. though she was called for the offensive foul, it was just funny timing.

Instead of sweet talking

she needs to play a little better. Sweet talking isn’t going to do anything.

Currie really does have the angriest face I've ever seen

if I didn’t see her outside of games, I’d think she was an angry person in general. she gets to the line and hits both shots.

size matters

Harding blocks Mitchell’s shot

by LJRotter on Aug 20, 2010 8:08 PM EDT reply actions  

Coleman hits the floor hard

I really don’t like this fan behind me… he’s starting to make me angry.
