The Mystics announced today that they have waived reserve PG Amber Jacobs and signed free agent -- and javelin champion -- Kendra Wecker.Could it be that the Mystics have finally hit upon the secret weapon that can stop the two highest scoring players in the WNBA (Cappie Pondexter and Diana Taurasi)? It's an interesting idea to contemplate.
I guess we'll just have to see if it works . . . tomorrow (Tuesday) at the Phone Booth when Washington takes on the Phoenix Mercury at 7 PM.

Tuesday's Washington Post has a nice feature by Mark Viera on Mystics PG Nikki Blue (link here). And Tuesday's Washington Times has a very interesting profile by Harlan Goode of Mikhail Ovechkin (yes, the older brother), who is the Mystics' operations manager and toils away in a windowless office cutting game video. Mikhail knows a good deal about women's basketball, and we enjoyed reading Mikhail's blog posts during the college season.

I really wanted to see Amber Jacobs do well here. Can I get my money back on the Amber Jacobs jersey I bought? The move also reunites former K-State stars Kendra Wecker and Laurie Koehn. We'll see what happens.
I would think Teddy and Dr J. could offer a little bit more high-end facilities than what Mikhail toils away on.
