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.

Cubs and Sox fans by IndianaLee
With approximately 35 games left in the regular season, the homestretch is nearing.
At 72-54, 7 games back of first, the Cubs are projected as having a 98 percent chance at the playoffs. Is this season playing out like you anticipated way back in the spring? Do you feel hopeful that a run is possible? How are you feeling about the future?
At 45-81, 29 games back from first, the Sox are sitting at a less optimistic .1 percent shot. I recall that there weren't exactly high hopes from the board regarding overall competitiveness. Have they managed to exceed expectations? What would you like to see over the final 30ish games? Can they crack the top 3 in the division next year?
