JOSÉ LUIS VILLEGAS Bee file, 2008 Ticha Penicheiro said she planned to spend her entire WNBA career with the Monarchs. While awaiting word about a possible Monarchs relocation to the Bay Area, the hangover lingers. No more WNBA in Sacramento. I hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it.

For the fifth time in team history, the Monarchs will have the second overall pick of the 2010 WNBA draft. Coach and general manager John Whisenant just hopes to draft a player who will be as good as some of their prior No. 2 picks.

With four games left in the 2009 season, the Monarchs are 2 1/2 games out of the fourth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Minnesota and San Antonio are tied for fourth...
