		<description>#34@&lt;a href="#comment-207528" rel="nofollow"&gt;Turbine Dude&lt;/a&gt;: Except, since then, you have hardly made a peep!!! :)  Where have you been?

As painful as the two most-commented IGDs have been, they were, above all, a hell of a lot of fun.  Hitting refresh every 30 seconds to keep up with the stream of idle banter makes you feel like you're watching the game with friends.

37-comment IGDs, almost half after the bottom of the ninth started, just aren't as much fun to follow when you're looking at gameday.  It's sort of like you're at a day game between Florida and Washington in late-September:

		<description>The Dodgers trail 5-2 in the seventh.

If they win, they are in first. If they lose, the Diamondbacks will be two games under .500 and lead the division.&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-207531"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
