Hey Dan,

Decided to start doing weekly MLB Power Rankings. If you get the chance, I'd like it if you took a look. Thanks.

Hey,

After the great success of my first article about the uniform numbers 1-10, I have come back with the next installment, with the best players to wear the uniform numbers 11-20. I hope you can take a look and even comment on my choices. Thanks in advance!

This is my best friend in the world. Plus he can write a mean article. Check him out. If you say something nice, I'm sure he will mention you on his weekly sports talk show here in Vegas and worldwide on the www. He is paying me to do this.

Hey Dan,

I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks

Hey Dan,

There was a touching moment in the Mariners game last night, made possible by the best pitcher I've ever gotten to watch - Randy Johnson. Watching history unfold inspired to me take a look at his incredible career and count down his five best moments, in my eyes. If you get a chance, take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

Hey Dan,

Lou Gehrig has somehow been forgotten amongst the game’s immortals, even though he was possibly even more of a reason for the success of Ruth’s 1927 Yankees. Read about the quiet, forgotten leader of “Murderer’s Row,” Henry Lou Gehrig.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Dan,

We actually have some golf sections already. Here's the men's section: http://bleacherreport.com/sections/Men%27s+Golf

And here's the women's: http://bleacherreport.com/sections/Women%27s+Golf

Now as you can see, what we don't have is much content to fill out these sections. Hence why they can't yet go on the header of the site, which is determined by the number of articles assigned to that tag.

Perhaps you could start writing about Golf and build out these sections somewhat? Let me know thoughts.

Thanks so much Dan,

Absolutely man.. Just stay patient, teams like Toronto will get their time in the sun, as we've come to find out the Yankees can overspend all they want, it doesn't get them championships.

Dan, keep it up. You are gonna get blasted for your Toronto article, but I thought I should let you know I love people who go outside the box. Keep plugging away!

Hey Dan,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Dan!

Zander
