wait they named their horse “Journalism”? so he could take the lede? win by a hed?

Journalism roars back from disastrous start to win San Diego Handicap at Del Mar

That's the 9th player making their WNBA debut while playing for the Mystics this season, the most for a single team in the W since the 1999 expansion Minnesota Lynx (9). u.acrossthetimeline.com/stat-AZfKS

Valkyries win their ninth in a row with 74-69 win over Washington Gabby Williams finishes with 18 points, Veronica Burton with 11 points and 11 assists. Janelle Salaun gets 9 off the bench.

Burton's 11th assist of the game leads to a Stokes 3-pointer, back tied 65-65 in the fourth

Marine Johannès had a non-contact injury where it looked like she pulled something. Betnijah Laney-Hamilton and Jonquel Jones helped her to exit the game.

Valks now trail Washington 57-52 going into the fourth

Halftime: Valkyries 33, Mystics 28 after GSV went on a 23-6 run. Ja has 8 points, LA nabbed 5 rebounds in 9 mins.

Sloppy first for Valks, but down just 18-13 after some solid plays from Tip and Ja

LA first sub for Valks, how far we've come from just like a month ago

I always love the first Valks game back from a long road trip, the energy at Chase Center is always peak

hello from Ballhalla everyone

Valks starters vs Washington: - Burton - Williams - Zandalasini - Thornton -Stokes Jocyte is out with left foot soreness

Cheryl Reeve is a fucking real one. We need more leaders in the WNBA like her.

Chatted Valks on the pod today and the historic nature of their defense this season.

Hope Dearica is okay. Getting hit in the face never feels good.

Before the WNBA All-Stars descend on the Windy City, @mingemi.bsky.social and @bmac1435.bsky.social share their thoughts on the Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest, and much more in this episode. 🍎 bit.ly/4pAb3R2 📺 youtu.be/t1lC1Rg2ll4

thanks to everyone who spoke with me! here's my survey of how Americans are changing up their everyday lunch habits to avoid cyclosporiasis/explosive diarrhea, and why all your favorite salad and bowl joints (Sweetgreen, Chopt, Cava, etc) are getting hit in the process slate.com/business/202...

Noelle says happy Friday

The San Andreas Fault has gone unusually quiet. A new study says that silence has allowed tectonic strain to build to its highest level in 1,000 years. What that means for California's earthquake risk

NEW POST: As a part of the @missionlocal.org collab, breaking down Kiah Stokes' all-WNBA defensive season. www.valkyriesbeat.com/p/valkyries-...

this is a difficult time for me who eats primarily Caesar salad and now has to eat real vegetables

Fox News' website is currently treating tonight's Trump election denial speech as less important than Caitlin Clark swearing at a ref.

the announcements of coaching staffs has been delayed at least three times now, based on every time I have asked as to when it would be announced over the last six months, for whatever it's been worth. (story on that tktktk) #WPBL

The Phoenix Mercury have released Marta Suarez

i hope yall are getting the Valks road coverage you need from @valkyriesbeat.bsky.social ❤️

"Home on 3!" Gabby Williams reacts to the end of a long 5-0 road trip and the ovation these #Valkyries are bound to receive when they return to #Ballhalla will be legendary. #GSV

NEW POD: Eight wins in a row! The Valkyries are in second in the WNBA after a win in Indiana on Wednesday night. Breakdown from @mingemi.bsky.social, Jane, Kenzo and @nathancanilao.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9Sj...

Gabby Williams shrugged and said her back feels “good”

Absolutely remarkable trip for the Valks, who come home alone in second place in the WNBA.

Valkyries close the road trip undefeated and have now won eight in a row with 88-75 win in Indiana. Chen with 14 points off the bench, Gabby Williams gets 16, Tip Hayes adds 13

Suddenly a 7-point game after some turnovers and a Mitchell three-poiner

Tip loved getting that and-one past Clark and Mitchell

how in the world is this even a review

we are getting close to "the Valkyries might have to protect Kaitlyn Chen in expansion" territory

so this is wild

Chen with 11 points in the third

Kind of remarkable how the turning point of a lot of Valkyries games is when Chen comes into the game

Five-second violation inbounding for the Valks sums up this quarter

I'm not gonna lie to y'all that Clark pass to Boston for 3 was sick

Valks with just 2 points after four minutes of the third and Fever are back within five
