Good question (although I'm caring less and less by the day).
I was expecting her on June 15, since that's when the ever-reliable Scoopmaster O said she would be joining the team.

Sport news articles have been saying *IF* - today it said *WHEN* (but I can't find it). Anyway, I'll believe it when I see her in Home Whites running the court Confused I'm also having mixed emotions as to whether I even want her here or not. Other than needing the wins, her coming late & leaving early will only mess with the team chemistry, which seems in short supply ATM. As a person who hasn't missed a game since 1997 inception, I will never give up on my team. We have the talent. Coach just needs to get it going in the right direction. SOON

I will confirm later today IF she got on the plane, the ticket was there for her last night, I just don't know yet if she used it.
I will be organizing the "Meet the Great Pumkin" airport get together as soon as I know for sure she boarded the plane!

Any good excuse for a party, eh Brigade? Glad she's back for your sake, but I'd rather she arrived AFTER the Sun game! Go Sun!

I saw it with my own eyes - she's here!! Sans baby, because, well you know... Phoenix too hot for bebe, as she reiterated to us...

Now if she passes her physical, then it's all good. Here's to hoping she didn't bring a different baby with her, one not visible to the naked eye....

STEPANOVA WATCH
The highly anticipated return of 6-foot-8 Russian center Maria Stepanova, who hasn’t played for Phoenix since 2001, has been delayed once again.

Last week, Mercury general manager Seth Sulka said, "There’s a really good chance she’ll be here next week," and added she could be in uniform for today’s game against Connecticut. But as of Friday, Stepanova had yet to book a flight to Phoenix.

Everything else is in place for her return, it’s just a matter of when she decides she wants to come, Sulka said.

Sulka speculated Stepanova could still be making arrangements for her 2-year-old son to stay in Russia and come to the United States after she gets settled or that she is waiting to join the team after today’s game because of Phoenix’s week-long break — which would allow her more time to get integrated with the team — before its next game.

Whatever the reason, Sulka said he remains optimistic Stepanova will rejoin the team before the All-Star break.

Can you read????

I stay out of your rantings, despite how I may feel towards them, especially those geared toward the Mercury and especially the Brigade, of which I am a member.... But do you really have your head lodged so far up someone's ass that you can no longer read the screen???

I SAW her with my own eyes last night. There's pictures to prove it. Now as I said, as long as she's not pregnant again, there should be no problem....

Thank you, and I shall butt out again Very Happy

Sorry, pilight, I didn't take any myself. I believe Cam has a picture, or caune, one of the two. Hopefully, they'll share them with you when they come on.

Well, they're on the tube tonight, surely we'll catch sight of her, she should be easy enough to spot.

Do you expect we will see her on the bench tonight, not necessarily dressed out, but at least in attendance?
