Hey X-Factor! We are heading back to the 602 right now.  We spent way too long in Indiana’s cold weather, and we’ve all been dying to get back to phoenix! As you all know we are tied up in the series 2-2. I hope you and everyone you know will be at our game tomorrow night 6pm! Last game of the season! It’s kind of crazy knowing that this is our final game. We waited all season for this and the entire time we hoped it would come down to this but here it is…. Finally!

I know I’ve been behind on uploading pics/videos/ and writing blogs but it was been very hectic. I will definitely give you some road-trip info in this one!

Bridget acted a fool as always…. She’s 100% entertaining all day long. I really wish she had her own TV show or something so everyone could see how funny and spontaneous she is. During one of our practices she went through a team bag of extra gear and came out on the court in a full game uniform, along with a sweatband. She went into character and for the next 20 minutes, she believed she was the 12^th player re-activated on the team. She went through different plays. The only thing I can compare it to is, in the movie “Along Came Polly.“  she was definitely just like the guy that shots bricks all day but would say “let it rain,” every time he shot.

In the locker room there’s always continuous music playing. One day after practice a Mary J. Blige song came on and I guess Le’coe felt the music because she jumped up with a fake mic in hand and started imitating Mary. I must admit she did a very good impression. I did get that on film and will post it shortly!!

Another morning, as I was getting ready to leave my hotel room to catch the team bus, my room phone rang. I answer it and it was a lady on the other end who said, “this is Lin Yi with the Indiana Tribune and I am doing a story on players in the finals series.” She asked if she could ask a few quick questions and says she’s already interviewed Indiana’s equipment manager. I am very skeptical about this because no one ever interviews me! I do think it could be fake, but cannot for the life of me think who it could be on the phone. So I keep allowing her to talk. Then she gave me our PR guy Eric’s name and said she got the ok from him. I try to make excuses and say I’m in a rush and need to hop in the shower,  and right then I hear a crack in her voice and I shout “DIANA!”  She did one of the best Asian accents I may have ever heard. She could not stop laughing and I didn’t hear the end of it for the rest of that day. I will never fall for that again! And the real reason she was calling me was to get a pair of shorts.

I have so much confidence in this team and I LOVE everyone who’s a part of it so dearly. The Mercury really are my 2^nd family. They surprised me the other day with a card and a gift just saying how they appreciate me, it almost made me teary eyed but I held it back thankfully! I appreciate and respect them greatly!  I’m soooo excited its game 5 of the Finals and at the same time sad the season is almost complete. I will miss everyone this off-season, it has truly been a record-breaking season! GO MERCURY!
