Road Trip (hopefully NOT from Hell). Like the Mystics, the BasketCases are hitting the road this weekend, heading to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Sky on Sunday. We'll be doing the cheering and the Mystics will be doing the winning (we hope)!

This will be the BasketCases' first opportunity to beta test our new highly-sophisticated-cutting-edge mobile blogging technology. Keep your fingers crossed that it all works! So, loyal BasketCases blog-readers . . . watch this space for our eyewitness (and typically demented) reports of the game and whatever else we may stumble across on the road. You can be sure we'll let you know what's it like to watch a WNBA game in a college arena with NO JUMBOTRON, how the food at the UIC Pavilion compares with that at the Phone Booth and whether the injured-but-said-to-be-recovering Stacey Dales returns to the Sky's lineup in honor of the BasketCases' visit --- plus much much more news that Mystics fans all around the world (especially Latvia) can't possibly live without!

Chicago, Chicago,
That toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago,
I'll show you around,
I love it
Bet your bottom dollar
The blues (Sky) will lose
In Chicago, Chicago

[Note to our Chicago blog-readers: the BasketCases will be signing autographs at halftime on the concourse outside Section 115.]
