#-1: Twins (Last Week: -1). A 3-3 week. Scared that they dropped two of three at home to Atlanta, although winning 2 of 3 to Colorado makes up for it somewhat. The glaring stat to come out of this week: They scored one run once (Thursday afternoon, against Ubaldo Jimenez), two runs twice (they won two of them), and three runs once (a loss). They exploded for nine runs against the Rockies Tuesday, but that's been it for offensive firepower. A worry? They're on the road this week for interleague play -- a trio at Philadelphia this weekend, then their annual visit to Milwaukee the middle of the week.
#-2: Lynx (Last Week: -2). Believe it or not, the Los Angeles Sparks are the exact opposite of the Los Angeles Lakers -- they're losers, not winners. And yet they still managed to beat the Jynx, 88-84, at Staples Sunday. Too bad Candace Parker couldn't be gone for the season before this game, otherwise they would've won it. As it stands, they're riding a four-game losing streak and still the worst team in the WNBA. To make up for their sole game this past cutoff week, they play three this week: A home-and-home with the Bastard Detroit Shock (and that's a city you can play back-t0-back games with -- why not just have the team do a home-and-home with a team in Beijing?), then they continue a roadtrip with a game against the New York Liberty (and former Gopher great Janel McCarville) Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
