They tried to close the thread and the whole site tanked for an hour. Just let it exist

OK.  If thread is open lets have some action here.  

THIS IS THE PLAYOFF THREAD.   Our chances are 20% 

Tonight the Tigers play the White Sox.  It will move it give or say (according to calculations  I saw from Seranthony a couple percent either way).   It could be 23% or it could be 17%

The mission:  We have to get playoff probability to 100% by Sunday 6:00 pm or so. 

The problem 100% is a lot more than 20% so we got to go up, cant go down.

TONIGHT. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

1.  Watch Tiger White Sox with same passion I watch the Jays?  Punch a whole in the wall every time a small thign doesn't go my way ?  Like even a walk.  Tigers walk the lead off hitter in the 5th.  For f***s sake, punch a hole in the wall. 

2. Watch Dark Matter on Apple TV.  Forget about baseball.  

3. Even better touch grass.  Go for a fall evening walk and see the early Halloween decorations and get an apple cider donut somewhere?

What do you all say.  I say 1. until Tigers walk a guy, then smash wall, turn TV off, then 3. and Dark Matter when I get back.  Smash another wall if Tigers won.

1. Step away from the keyboard. 

2. activities are up to you, but your option 3 sounds like a great idea. 

3. Do not return to the keyboard for at least 3 months. 

the term keyboard also includes all devices used to connect to the internet.

This is the Playoff thread sir.  Not your private slack chat group.  

The playoff thread is a place for everyone to discuss the roller coaster playoff odds and their own way of dealing with the stress.

Your private slack group, or iphone message group, or whatever is where you can talk privately to your friends in peace and lock out (just don't give them the number or link) the ones you find annoying.

In fact there are many threads on this board that are relatively clean still.  The playoff thread is not one of them.  It's a bit eccentric.  A bit weird.

I do agree it shouldn't be open, but if it is to be open it should a place where everyone should be able to post, and not worry about negative comments about their posting style.

I have no issues with your posting style, I'm concerned for your mental health. 

If a sporting event makes you want to rage, you have bigger concerns in life. 

(yes I realize some of that was probably in jest)
