It's one thing to visit and contribute to the GS sub-forum and see that there's a valuable free hit.

It's another thing when it is spoon-fed to readers who may not understand the importance of the hit and may just think, "ooh, 2500 miles!" That said, the bloggers have a right to do what they do, which just shows how important it is to act on tips in the GS subforum soon.


Also, this was my first GS and it was/is quite exciting. That said, I didn't really know what to expect without reading from the people who've done it in previous years. My suggestion: be patient and heed their advice. If NS is going to post on 11/7, don't fret away that night and say it's a foul ball. It will post eventually. In fact, this year, it posted pretty late into the night.
Same thing with sweeps -- there has been a regular schedule with some pleasant surprise sweeps in between. US IT has actually worked pretty well with this. They said there would be a sweep around 11/9 and there was just one, pretty late in the day on the east coast, but still on 11/9. I've fretted away a few times this year, but next year, I'm just going to complete my hits, sit back, and watch the miles come in .
