Intro

 Hi,

My name is Turner Ashby. I was born and raised in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, about 40 miles west of New York City and an hour north of Philadelphia. Most of my family is originally from Virginia/Washington D.C. area. I have always been a fan of all sports; growing up, I played basketball, baseball, and soccer when I was young. My favorite sport and sport I played the longest was always basketball. I am a fan of the Washington Commanders, New York Yankees, New Jersey Devils, and the Washington Wizards/New York Knicks. A versatile array of teams, yes, but it's how I was raised. Also, if you are a Philadelphia/Boston fan in any way, shape, or form, I suggest you get off this blog, there will be nothing for you here.

2024 MLB Playoffs: Subway Series?

 10/17/24 With the MLB postseason heating up, we are quickly approaching the 2024 World Series. In the AL, the New York Yankees are currently up 2-0 on the Cleveland Guardians. In the NL, it's the Los Angeles Dodgers up 2-1 on the New York Mets . As a Yankees fan, I am naturally biased and would love to see a Yankees vs. Mets World Series. The Subway Series is taken very seriously when they play as it's a rivalry over the better team in New York. We have only seen this famous rivalry happen in the world series once, and it was in 2000 . It has been a long time, and while I think the Dodgers have the upper hand on the Mets, I think the Yankees still look like the best team in the league. I look forward to watching them play tonight and hopefully in the World Series. An individual player I would like to highlight is the Yankees' very own Giancarlo Stanton . Stanton has had a long and rich career in the MLB. As he's gotten older over the years, his postseason greatness s...

The Pinstripes

For my first article, I am going to write about the best team in baseball, and most successful sports franchise in history across all leagues. Not even necessary to say who, because you know who I'm talking about. If you're in denial, let me give you a hint: they wear pinstripes. And in this article I want to highlight why I think they are the frontrunner for the 2024 World Series. The Yankees, led by the dynamic duo of Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, are the face of the league whether you like it or not. The Yankees are such a polarizing, popular, and iconic team that you either love them or hate them, with no in between. Aaron Judge , who will more than likely go down as the greatest player in history when it's all said and done, has put the pinstripes on his back (literally and metaphorically) giving them one of the best current records in baseball. Playing in the American League East is no joke for anyone, even the Yankees, because of the extreme competition within the divis...

The Commanders Keep Rolling

 After 9 weeks, the Washington Commanders remain red hot, leading the NFC East at 7-2. It is the hottest start to a season by Washington since the 1990s. It has been no secret that up until very recently, Washington has been looked at as a poverty franchise, in large part due to poor ownership from the Dan Snyder era. Growing up a Washington fan, I have seen little to no success up to this point. With the attention and buzz the Commanders have seen in the media this season, I believe we owe this in large part to the new owner Josh Harris , and none other than star rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Daniels has consistently been putting up generational numbers, and it seems they just keep riding the momentum. In the next 2 weeks, they will be facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles . At this point in the season, I look at these next 2 games as major tests. I do think we will win both games, but it won't be easy. While it still may be too early to say...
