The recipient of this award has demonstrated the quality of being excellent in many avenues of her life including (but not limited to) work, play, musical theatre, kicking ass and of course, blogging. Here to receive the a Lifetime Achivement Award in the Field of Excellence AND be the second interview in our double-header with Babes Love Baseball comes from the one and only… Lizzy!

3 best games you’ve ever watched (in person or on TV).

Oh god, there are so many. I’m prepared to take piles of shit for this, but Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS. I cried, I laughed, I hugged people I never thought I ever wanted to touch. Say what you want about Blowhard Schilling and his gaping orafice of a mouth, but the dude was un-fucking-believable. Game three of the Eastern Conference Finals in 2002, when the Celtics pulled off the Greatest 4th Quarter comeback in sports history. I was sitting on my bed in my dorm room, packing to move out of UMass. And I just couldn’t move from the television. I’ve been lucky, there have been a lot of historic moments for Boston sports in my lifetime. Then would be the snowbowl, the infamous Patriots Raiders game in 2002…the tuck rule…I cried. It was amazing. Oh, and to shout out to my alma mater, when UMass beat Syracuse in Lacrosse for the first time ever.

What 4 celebrities or athletes do you want in your posse? Whose posse would you like to be in?

Pacman. If they had a cute white girl in librarian glasses rolling with them, he’d never get in trouble.

What teams do you follow? Sports?

New England Patriots, UMass Athletics (football, hockey, lacrosse, basketball), Red Sox baseball, New York Rangers. Seriously I’ll watch anything. Except golf. Because it sucks ass.

What is your greatest athletic achievement? The worst folly?

I hit two homeruns in one game in JV softball once:) Worst folly…my only technical foul in basketball which came after I decked some girl for throwing my 90 pound sister into a wall. I got in a little trouble for that one.

I’m auditioning this one as a potential staple question: how was high school for you? Please feel free to elaborate.

Hahahah, it was alright. I was your ultimate musical theater/band nerd. I played clarinet, flute, and sang in choir. And yes, I attended band camp. For 8 years. Make the jokes, cuz no one else EVER has…

Tell us something about yourself that nobody in blogfrica knows.

I can put my entire fist in my mouth.

Why do you blog? What got you started?

Sooz told me I was funny, and was like “join Babes.” And I was like YAY!

What do you want your blog to be known for? What do you personally want to be known for?

I think we’ve been pretty good at bringing you an equal amout of news and vulgarity, and I’m very proud of us for that. I just want to be known as having the ability to make people laugh. If I can make someone who works a shitty ass, dead end, Office Space, type of hellish 9-5 gig laugh at their desk, then I’m doing what I want to be doing.

What post is your personal favorite? Which is the most popular?

I think I’m most proud of my Roger Clemens tirade. Honestly, the anger I felt that afternoon was unlike anything I had ever felt before in my life. The most popular was probably my sluts with their ideal baseball players. That ended up linked on SI. But only because of Sooz’s way with picking art. That blow up doll photo killed me.

Do you want to do this for a living?

No, because I think that would take all of the fun out of it. I do this because its fun, and the response from others is freakin’ awesome. And it doesn’t matter what you do, if you do it 40 hours a week (or more) it gets mundane sometimes.

Thoughts on the present and the future for the blogosphere. How does it fit with the mainstream media?

Blogs are going to single-handedly create a market for an US Weekly type magazine for athletes. Seriously, where else can you see drunken photos of Eli Manning/Rex Grossman/Matt Leinhart.

Any suggestions for a future interview?

Hehehe, you tell me:)

Is your relationship with Sooze strictly through chats and emails or do you fnd the time to hang out?

Sarah and I have hung out, as we both live in NYC. Sooz and I have been trying to hang out for months and months, but when you are forced to involve air travel to hang out with people, it blows serious ass.

Where did the idea of Babes Love Baseball come from?

Hmmm…ask Sooz. I think its because we’re hot and know tons about baseball, but that’s all.

Walk us through your creative process. How do you determine who posts and the content?

Well, this is how it normally works with me. When I can’t sleep and am pissed at my job/family/etc I usually try and find some way to vent agression via syntax. I IM Suzy and ask her for input, she throws some vodka into my creative cocktail, and the magic happens.

You’ve recently added the highly regarded SportsGirl365 to the mix. How did that acquisition come about?

She’s gorgeous, smart, and funny. What’s not to want? Texy too, man.

Do either of you have an outlet for your opinions on other sports?
Not yet…:)

How did the word “mamms” work its way into your respective vernaculars?

Again, Sooz is totally responsible for that. It’s a great word.

Give me your World Series predictions, if you’re so inclined.

Cubs and Red Sox. Sox in 6. I know, I’m wicked funny.

Red Sox-Yankees. How does that end this season?

It’s going to end tied. And the Yanks get the tiebreaker. I’m comfortable with this. I’m actually going to start marketing “The Curse of the Fatass” t-shirts, as I think it is NO coincidence that the last Yankee game that I attended was the one where Prehistoric Roger’s elbow realized it was 200 years old and now requires many, many cortizone shots and WD40 to continue working. You’ll have to forgive me for my tangents, I got off a red eye this morning and my brain is all sorts of screwed up….
