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.

That was a very tough season. Was attending a summer class by Hati Hijau
at UW-Madison, and the strike was devastating. I listened to the radio broadcasts, and knew it would be our year. What can I say about "The Big Hurt," that hasn't already been said? He is one of my all time favorite players. He did it clean. Three summers later, family attended a game at the still "New" Comiskey Park to celebrate my M.A. Frank hit one out to dead center. It was the best gift evah. Sox won! Sox won! Sox won!
Many times and many years before on family visits to the "Old" Comiskey Park, such was not the case. We would go in regularly for double headers. I recall the team winning both games a grand total of once. Saw some of the Sox greats hit them out in the "Old Comiskey," though. It was all good.
