First of all, I love this site. Not just because I hate pink jerseys, but because its nice to know there’s other girls out there who really, and I mean really, get in to sports. I’m mostly a baseball girl myself, but I appreciate them all. However I must say this (I promise its not just because I am a pure bred Yankees fan, a discussion for another time)you guys need to mix it up a little. I for one, would like to see some contributing writers who like a team other than the cubs, or some Illinois-related teams. There’s a lot out of others out there! Lets get some of them some representation.
