This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Most refreshing observation on the weekend: by OITLinebacker
Few(er) errors on the field and base paths. I finally was able to get the stars to align with the kids sports schedules to catch Friday and Saturday's games. I generally try to make 4-8 home games a year or more if I can. I was really impressed with the improvement in defense. It helps that the players are physically better athletes (at least they look that way), but also mentally they looked a lot sharper.
It was so very frustrating to watch a few years back when there were so many little league sort of errors going on out there. This team is not only making the plays they are supposed to, but they're also making some outstanding plays because they're just good defenders.
