About

I love sports, all things competitive and writing. The only things I love more so than the aforementioned are my opinions & a good debate. Disagree with my opinions? Hit me up.
Also, I'm a girl; I love shoes.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Zack Greinke, MK & MC Morris. Peyton & Eli Manning, I'm a fan of the sibling combos.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    I'm a big homer but being from KS that's sometimes difficult as I'm also a fan of good sports playing. KC Royals, TB Rays. KC Chiefs, NY Giants. LA Kings, Det. Red Wings. KU Jayhawks, Duke Blue Devils.

    Oh Big 12, absolutely. The ACC plays great ball and really all college basketball is entertaining to watch but the Big 12 is where it's at.

    Hey Ash,

    I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks

    Hey Ash,

    People of my generation look at them fondly as the players they watched as little kids, people of other generations may just look at them as great players. I created a slide show highlighting the best players of the 1990's. If you get a chance, take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

    Hey Ash,

    There was a touching moment in the Mariners game last night, made possible by the best pitcher I've ever gotten to watch - Randy Johnson. Watching history unfold inspired to me take a look at his incredible career and count down his five best moments, in my eyes. If you get a chance, take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

    Hey Ash,

    Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

    Thanks in advance!
