So I was stressing about finding an article to get in depth with on this blog when I decided to visit MLB.com. I hadn't noticed in past times visiting the site that there is actually a section for blogging about or with your favorite teams on this site. It was pretty interesting to me that even the baseball world, which tries to stay with tradition, is opening its' doors to the people and creating another way for them to connect with their fellow fans.
Moving on from my find, I decided to move to the Braves website and see what sort of blogging they have. Interestingly enough I came across "Frenchy's Forum" that according to the site is Jeff Francoeur's blog. I quickly read through his newest blog about their road trip this weekend. My problem comes up because I'm bothered that while his vocabulary is developed, his sentence structure and overall syntax is awkward. I know blogs aren't the most formal writing but it makes me wonder if the thoughts in his head are that choppy.
I'm interested to look through this site a little more and find out what is really going through the heads of some of my favorite players. I'm sure this is a PR tactic of some sort by asking the players to do this but hey it got me, right?

Well, dear, although I must agree with you, I feel inclined to point out that that blog hasn't been updated in two months or so... although that isn't relevent, I thought I'd point that out.
(and also, I found this blog via Google Alerts :D).
I've wondered if F's wife (a teacher) or his PR person writes "his" blogs (on his website and for Delta). The vocabulary is beyond what I'd expect for him most of the time. ;)
You have out of class readers, Chels.
