As Washington waits with bated breath for the result of Stephen Strasburg's MRI (expected to be revealed later this afternoon) and as my colleague Mike Jones continues to track the latest Redskins drama, some congratulations are in order.

Yesterday the Washington Mystics defeated the Atlanta Dream 90-81 to capture the WNBA's Eastern Conference regular-season championship and set up a best-of-three rematch with the Dream beginning Wednesday night at the Verizon Center. It's a phenomenal acheievment for head coach Julie Plank and her team, as Mystics recorded only the third winning season in their history, as well as their best-ever record.

So, all the best to the Mystics in the playoffs. Here's hoping they channel the spirit of these guys, and not these guys.
