Tough Numbers

Wow. The POTUS’s approval ratings are sinking. These are low numbers for only being in office for 13 months or so and for having – for the most part - the three Ps, ”pretty positive press.”

When you get to 57 percent disapproval ratings on several subjects, it may be time for a Plan B. I don’t have an answer but I do know the wisdom of crowds on big picture issues is pretty articulate and fair and for the most part, the vox populi here is not pretty or positive. Check out the Gallup Poll numbers.

Hall of Famer Joins Mystics Coaching Staff

This is a good move by the Washington Mystics injecting even more talent to our coaching ranks. Marianne Stanley knows the league; its players; its officials and our city.

She is a class act and will do wonders with the team’s best post players. We are a young team and we are now working free agency and the dispersal drafts to improve on last year’s performance and record.

We have a plan. We will stick with it. We have a system. We will draft and recruit to fit the system. We have a system and our coaches will adhere to it and encourage players and coach them to work the system and execute it well.

Marianne Stanley is a winner and she will command respect of our players and work hand in glove with our staff. Well done.

Bad Game – Great Blog Post

Sorry about that. That was an odd game, a game where we expended so much energy to lose 7 to 4. We were down 4-1; tied it up 4-4; then basically lost the “second game within the game” by a score of 3-0.

To say nothing worked on defense, in goal and on our special teams would be an understatement.

Where are all of the experts on ice quality today, by the way?

Alex Ovechkin was ready to fight to help jump start us as a team. That is what Captains have to do sometimes but Matt Bradley wouldn’t stand for that. Check out this blog post. It is witty and has great graphics and captions.

Sorry about last night. That wasn’t fun. We can’t lick our wounds as we have another game tonight.
