Most Bleacher Report writers know Dominick DiFucci. I have asked him to help me organize a fantansy baseball league this season made up of Bleacher Report writers. This could be a blast. If you're interested in joining send me your email address and we will contact with the details. The format has not yet been established and we encourage your suggestions. Also spread the word to people you know on the site as well. It could be an awesome league. I'm a novice at this but Dom is the shits. He knows this stuff inside out and forwards and backwards. Contact me at rsmcloser@cox.net. Do it ASAP. Thanks.

Hey Nick,
We got K-Rod! This is like a Christmas present come early!
Turns out you were right when you predicted that he would be a Met next season. I hadn't yet wrote an article for the Mets but this prompted me to do one. It's called: Why K-Rod is the perfect player for the New York Mets". Check it out if you are interested!

No problem, Nick. We do have guidelines regarding line breaks, but everything essentially is controlled by you. The guidelines are as follows:

sub-headline (in bold, no colon or hyphen)
SINGLE LINE BREAK
text...etc
DOUBLE LINE BREAK

Sub-headline
SINGLE LINE BREAK
text...etc, so on...
