When this board started, CT was like 12. -
I don't have that one anymore. I do still have: 1800sports.com 212sports.com 312sports.com 312sports.net 412sports.com nsbbtest.com thesportsradio.com

Damn it. Why didn't you suggest that to me last month?
-
Really? I always thought that was Meph. Again, that's the joke.
-
Mis-id by the DBacks broadcast, it was apparently Jordan Nwogu. Nwogu came in the game and was misidentified as playing 3B (he was in the OF). BJ Murray also came in and was the one misidentified as Canario.

Chicago Bears Offseason Thread (the tank must payoff)
Tim replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
I admit that I've been a bit obsessed with the PFF draft simulator. Here's my latest. Okay, nine picks at the start of the draft: 12: Witherspoon 13: Van Ness 14: Kancey 17: Addison 20: JSN 22: Kincaid 30: Anton Harrison 33: Will McDonald 37: Daiyan Henley That covers: CB, ED, DI, WR, WR, TE, OT, ED, LB I forced the rumored Houston trade, then traded back with Seattle, Oak, Philly, NE. Then I traded next year's first from Hou (Cle pick) to get #17. Then I traded 46 & 64 to get #22. -- eta also traded 38, 54 & 76 to the Jets for #13 -
I think there's value in having the crowd opinion, too. But yeah, they do a great job over there.

If we held a contest for the worst / dumbest poster ever, he'd likely win. But some here loved having him around for the pure entertainment value.
-
There are some definitely prospect gurus here. I used to think of myself as one, but I haven't had the time to track it that closely for several years.

he's a bust!!

I also added a poll to the OP.

I tried to get nsb.com, but the National Speakers Bureau beat me to it.

huh, you found a swear word that doesn't translate to horsefeathers.

Don't forget the 2026 second rounder.

Also, I was soooo tempted to reply with "I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords"
-
Holy crap, I forgot all about those guys.
-
Welcome, Brock!
-
Ha - thanks! I was really only going to sell it to a group that said they like the culture and want to keep it going.

I've sold the site! Nope, not a joke! I will be staying involved here and in general, things shouldn't change too much. The people buying the site are doing so because they like the culture we've built here and want to build on a good thing instead of turning it into something else. Over the past few years, it has become clear to me that I just don't have the time to run this place properly. I don't think I've upgraded the board software in five years or so. Which means it is likely vulnerable to attacks and such. I have meant to do something with the front page for 20 years and haven't been able to keep that going after many attempts at it. And I long ago ported the board to an expensive server because it kept running out of memory and crashing. Which has meant that I've been losing money just about every month. The new team has an actual development team that will not only modernize the board, but add a lot of bells and whistles, too. They're working to not only import the current set of posts, but also integrate in the posts from the archive. If you want to see an example of another board this group manages, they run https://twinsdaily.com/ Post any questions you've got here, or PM me if you'd like.

For anyone that hates the pitch clock:
-
The average time between pitches last year was around 18 seconds. All the rule really does is eliminate the outliers.
-
Pitch clock - as a fan, I'm a fan. We'll have to see what the long term impact is on things like pitcher health
-
It would have been more exciting if they had started each overtime with a runner on second base.
-
Holy hell do I want this guy to be for real

I'm still convinced they're just trying to raise his trade value. I can imagine that in talks with other GM's, they're saying that they won't give up much for him because we don't have a place to play him anyway. So we're putting him there for now to bluff that we'd actually do it in the season.
