caulfield12 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 08:25 PM) Because the game is on WPWR.... There's a LOGICAL answer. Although I would imagine every professional sports team's message boards are more active in losses (especially controversial ones, see Boston threads with Farrell getting 100X more heat than Ventura ever will)...UNLESS they're Opening Day, playoff-clinching or post season determining games, BlackOut, post season/World Series, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) Wow the ignorance some of you are showing... You have never noticed that when the white sox games are not on CSN that the threads are much smaller? It's really that simple. A lot of us do not live in Illinois, or the Chicago area. must be trolling.. its the only answer I have. There is absolutely a difference between posting patterns when the team is losing, losing big, and winning. Threads are always WAY longer when the team is losing, and biggest of all when losing big. If you don't believe me, then yes, ignorance is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question was why is the thread shorter... the answer is simple and I'm 100% sure - the game is not on CSN. Do people post more when the team is losing.. maybe. But the game threads are ALWAYS ALWAYS shorter non CSN nights... I'm betting the amount of people actually watching the game drops by 65-70% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He_Gawn Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I can't even watch the game. Nor have I posted hardly at all in 5 years... but this Thad guy is the biggest hypocrite I've ever seen on this board. That is saying something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 08:16 PM) 7 innings of shutout ball for Gonzalez. That is very nice medicine for the pen.

I have been part of this site for over 10 years now, and I can tell you for a fact that the off channel has nothing to do with the size of the thread But since you are so sure of it, feel free to look at the archives and cross reference the schedule to prove me wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) TRADE WINDS STILL NOT OPEN: According to private SoxTalk survey, inability to discuss possible trades in one convenient place has discombobulated many posters and sent them off to other sites. Strategic boycotts of game threads was their first non-violent method of drawing attention. Edited July 7, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably not worth your time - but you would see it. 541 posts in the game against Boston. WGN games would be the same. You are wrong. James Sheilds on a weekday WGN game got over 400.
