about the chicks

PAM is a 22-year-old Red Sox fan from New Hampshire. She has a knack for ending up in odd situations, like that one time she wound up talking to a Republican Yankees fan in a bar and that other time she drank a seven-foot bottle of beer at the Sam Adams Brewery and passed out for the benefit of nearby photographers.* A broadcast journalism major in undergrad, Pam is currently working as a producer in upstate new York. She hopes to someday become a producer at ESPN and boss around people like Jon Kruk and Rachel Nichols. Pam enjoys traveling, Australian men, and the Joe Mauer Power Hour.

* -- this did not happen, contrary to photographic evidence


SUZIE, 22, was born in western Massachusetts and spent the next eighteen years trying to escape without anyone noticing. She will one day become the general manager of the Boston Red Sox because Theo Epstein's dad said she'd probably be pretty good at it. If that doesn't work out, she'll settle for a writing gig on Conan. Despite all of this, she graduated from Boston University with a master's degree in American history in May of 2007 and spends her days temping around downtown Boston while staring nervously at Ph.D. applications and recommendation forms for Fall 2008.* Suzie likes Apple Computers, science fiction, and disloyally fangirling Rich Harden.

* -- she plans on writing her dissertation on women in sports fandom and wonders if she can use Chickball as a primary source


EMMERS came to Boston from Chicago and spends quite a lot of her time wondering what the hell is up with those damn Easterners.* The most passionate football fan on the blog, Ems is about as similar to Mike Ditka as a 22-year-old management associate can be (except she's clearly cuter). If Chickball were a company, she would be its CEO, and the whole thing would be run through Microsoft Access. Ems enjoys men in trenchcoats with guns, the NL Central, and penguins.

* -- particularly their weird-ass hot dog rolls and how they've never heard of Fannie May's


AMY grew up watching Bagwell and Biggio at the Astrodome, but has adapted to the Boston sports climate remarkably well. A former journalism student and aspiring book editor, she keeps Chickball gramatically honest. For such a small person, she can make a lot of noise when Alex Rodriguez and his giant ego come into play. 21-year-old Amy enjoys kickboxing, American history, and taking pictures of absolutely everything.*

* -- even though she might crash the car and kill Suzie and Beth in the process


BETH is the product of a Yankees-fan father and a Red Sox-fan mother; she took after her mom. A 21-year-old biochemistry and molecular biology Ph.D. candidate, Beth would be happy to spend all her time in the laboratory. She eagerly awaits the day her scientist colleagues announce the invention of the caffeine IV drip. She grew up 20 minutes away from Suzie, but the two somehow managed to miss the psychic twin vibes emanating from each other. Beth likes singing, Dance Dance Revolution, and Sister Hazel.*

* -- a little too much
