    It'd be cool if you wrote about the Braves start, and things they could do to drive in more runs, trades, line-up changes and things like that. Theres a lot of disappointed braves fans, could get you a feature on the home page.

    Matt, Do you tweet about sports (especially SEC football and the Braves)? You write well and I'd like to subscribe to your twitter account if possible.
