I think with game threads you have to take into account that each game is a separate event. Fans process every game, every day and then move on to the next day.
Today the Brewers did the worst thing they could have done. They not only lost, but they lost in very frustrating and maddening fashion with some questionable managerial decisions (or at least one very notable one) to make it worse. To top it off, they lost a game off their division lead.
If you want people to look at the season as a whole while a game is going on and shortly after, a game thread is the wrong place.
