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.

Did the Oregon State coach cross the line.. by TWO
with his use of his freshman pitcher, Kevin Abel? He pitched 3 games in 5 days
– 95 pitches in a win over Mississippi State on Saturday to reach the CWS finals against Arkansas
– 23 pitches during an inning of relief against Arkansas on Wednesday to keep it a 1-run game
– 129 pitches in Thursday’s shutout win over Arkansas
Naturally Abel didn't want to come out of the Championship game, and he was just terrific, threw a 2 hit shutout. But should he have pitched that much in such a short period of time.
