So, I Started Writing For Yahoo! Sports....

Through the Yahoo! Contributor Network, that is. Following the lead of Dustin and Chris, I decided I would take a shot at penning some pieces for the Yahoo! Contributor Network. I love writing about sports, any exposure would be great, and I could make a few bucks on the side for something I enjoy doing and already do for free. It's been pretty sweet so far, and I'm looking forward to hopefully getting the express posting privilege.


Any clicks, sharing, Re-Tweets, and the like would be much appreciated. Here's a link to my profile page, and that link will soon go up somewhere on this here blog.

And here are the pieces I've had published thus far:

  2. Thought it was the Dodgers' Chris Reed at first (not really). That woulda been totes awk.

  3. Interesting stuff. I read the Kershaw article. In my mind, he's the top NL pitcher in the game right now. I'd rank him behind Verlander overall, but it's close enough that I think there's an argument there, too.

    I didn't see the PTI you referenced - but is Kornheiser really bashing him that bad? If he's saying he's not up there with Koufax, Gibson, Seaver, Walter Johnson, etc. - well, I understand that. He's still young and though he's had 4 great years, that's not a full career. Best in the game right now? Certainly up there. One of the best historically? Need to see a decade or so (or just be crazy ridiculous for 5 years like Koufax).

  4. Penguin- Thanks! And I know my readership haha.

    Dustin- That would be massively awesome. And a recipe for disaster haha.

    lifetime- Thanks for checking it out! Kornheiser brushed off Kershaw like he had no business even being on the same planet as those guys and was an average pitcher.

  5. Congratulations. I rarely read articles on the A's or Padres, so I probably won't be hitting up the Dodgers posts. But if you keep showing off Kate, I might just change my mind.

  6. Haha, thanks Fuji! Judging by the blog's history, there will be plenty of Kate to be seen.
