Listen bro, you shouldn't just post news and rumors - any sports website will be way better at that. What you need to do is post stuff other sports websites don't have, like opinions or the whatever else you come up with.
First off, I've gathered the news and consolidated it into one place. The same applies for the rumors. The rumors are the best sones from several different web sites so that my readers don't have to search all over the web site. Though other sites would clearly be better, this brings all of those sites together. I have my opinions on a large percentage of my posts, and I apologize for not having any if July. My baseball blogs have plenty of opinion, and I hope you continue reading the blog and clicking on the ads to make me some cash. Thanks a bunch, SOS.
