It was the real first game for the Valkyries. They started strong but seemed to run out of energy the second half and had just too many turnovers (missed passes, poor shots) resulting in a loss to the LA Sparks (same time that defeated them last week in the exhibition game). One thing that really impressed me tho was that the team seemed well balanced. Not so the Sparks who seemed determined to feed the ball to one of their players for shots. Yes she is good, but counting on one player for 37 points (more than 1/3rd of your total) means that the other players don’t come across as equally essential.
Just saying.
Otherwise, in good new, the Giants wiped the As (no longer Oakland) off the map at Oracle Park with a 9-1 win. The Twins beat the Brewers but unfortunately, the Yankees managed to get by the Mets.
Why am I giving you all of this? Because otherwise I really accomplished very little for the day. Unlike several previous days this week where I was able to organize, stitch, and sleep, the craft room is a disaster compounded by a cat who seems to thing that stopping across my desk top is “helpful.” .
