MLB again

So since I have some out-of-class followers apparently interested in the MLB like I am I decided to look a little more into it. This time I just did a google search for "MLB blogs" and came across http://octobergonzo.mlblogs.com/. Even though it is still the same site, this blogger is a fan and not a player this time. He gives his opinions as the season progresses and even attaches video of plays that catch his eye. One of my commentors noticed that Frenchy hadn't updated his post in a while so I checked this one and it looks like OG fairly regularly updates his. This looks like a blog I could easily follow and get the quick updates on the post season from a different eye. I ironically think my favorite part of his blog though is that beside the MLB.com logo it says "Official Affiliate/ Unofficial Opinons." It's cool to know that the MLB would allow this to legally attach to their site and fans can openly comment. I do wonder, however, how much Gonzo's blog is regulated. Hm.

Now, to make the old lady happy, please explain to me in your posts about MLB sites WHY this is important to public relations, and how it fits in the function of public relations.

A lot of the time I find reading someone else's opinion on sports gets on my nerves. It's almost like they are trying to sell me something. At least, that's how it comes off most of the time. I already feel like i can't turn in any direction without someone or something trying to convince me to buy this or try that. Why should i read a blog that makes me feel the same way? Is there anyway to write a blog without giving off this type of feeling?
