Happy Saturday! It’s another exciting game day…. The team plays Sacramento tonight, it seems like we’ve played them enough times for one season already but we play them again this coming Wed. the 15^th at 12:30! It’s our afternoon camp day, so I’m expecting the usual high pitch loud screams from thousands of young kids. Those games are definitely the loudest games of the season!

Things have been really great around here...  the team unity is priceless!! Last week we all attended the Beyonce “I Am” concert. It was sooooooo good! During practices before the show a bunch of the players and of course Bridget were practicing their Beyonce moves! We had a huge suite with the players, coaches, staff, hip-hop squad, friends and family. Everyone was up dancing and definitely enjoying themselves!

Our game entertainment department has been coming up with fun time-out videos for games. I loved the Brooke/Tangela fight skit! They both really enjoyed it also… they didn’t want to take off the robes. I know they are filming another sing with the Mercury video, because they’ve been stealing players away. But I’m not sure what song they are going to sing to. I cannot wait to see that!!!

I posted another video of the shoot around half court shot the other day… Le’Coe made the money shot! And also in the video if you notice is Diana kicking the basketball. Diana has some soccer skills and can kick a ball from the court and aim it to go through a portal entrance on the top of the bleachers…  she does this every shoot around. I’ve heard Diana talking about how sometimes she wishes she was left handed because left handed players “always have a pretty shot” according to her. The other day she threw up a random 3-pointer with her left and it was a swish! Needless to say, she amazes me a lot.

I’m sure some of you know our fans have a Mercury Booster club! They give us little care packages every game. Its usually fun toys, candy, gum and a lot of random goodies! Last game vs. Chicago they gave us fake gold chains and hats. Since our team has a bunch of goofballs, of course they put everything on to do their team walk down the hallway for pre-game. There’s an ongoing joke with the team and Ohlde…  in the 4^th Quarter Noise video, each player holds up 4 fingers and says “4^th quarter” well everyone holds up their hands up straight but Ohlde holds hers at a slight angle. Since the first time that video played now it’s a joke that Ohlde has her ghetto side!! Of course its all been made more dramatic and people go around saying “4^th quarter” with their hands and heads held sideways. So... Ohdle definitely had to wear one of those fake chains!

I don’t know if any of you guys are facebookers… but there are some funny videos on there of some Mystics and Dream players rapping! It’s pretty hilarious and all done jokingly… I mean they do rap about their own dogs! Good stuff!

Hope you guys all have a fun and safe weekend, and hopefully see you guys at this wed. or next Saturdays game!!!
