No, we don't block anyone running an ad blocker, even if I strongly disagree with their use. Is anyone else having issues with Safari? It's working fine for me.

Welcome to North Side!

Try not to throw things at me because it's on the Brewers site, but this is what I'm looking for. As you can see, it's not long, and if you're already on the forums, doesn't require research. https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/forum-friday-opening-day-rosters-prospect-talk-march-madness-brackets-r4297/

Have you even seen this country lately? Dignity is sooooooo 2015

Those are supposed to be hidden already; I will add this to the ticket list, and take care of it in the next few days. Thanks for giving me the heads-up.

Tell me more about this lounge.

How To Install On iPhone or iPad How To Install On Android Device Developing a pure, native app for either Android or iOS is a breathtakingly expensive endeavor, which is why we haven’t done it, despite so many requests over the years. Thankfully, technology has met us halfway, and PWAs (Progressive Web Applications) have reached maturity in the marketplace. What is a PWA? It’s effectively a pseudo-app that works much like a native application but doesn’t require tens of thousands of dollars in development to produce. It creates a single browser instance and maintains it as if it were an application. It’s basically a standalone browser tab, dedicated specifically to North Side Baseball. From this app instance, you can receive notifications; the typical browser interface is removed, and the site is presented clearly, using as much screen real estate as possible, all without sacrificing any functionality. The site is faster, more reliable, and offers more mobile functionality than a standard web browser. Additionally, a newer, completely updated North Side Baseball is coming later this year, and that will add even more app-like features, making PWA usage even better for all our users. With that said, here’s how you turn North Side Baseball into an app on your mobile device. How To “Install” North Side Baseball on iPhone or iPad Using Safari First, go to the home page of North Side Baseball at https://northsidebaseball.com/. 1. Tap on the ellipses (…) at bottom right of screen. 2. Tap “Share” in pop-up menu. 3. Tap “View More”. 4. Tap “Add To Home Screen”. 5. Tap “Add”. That takes you to your home screen on iOS, where you can move the North Side Baseball app around, just as you would any other app. Additionally, you can turn on notifications for them. Just go to the following link while logged into the site: https://northsidebaseball.com/notifications/options/.

This season, I'd like to bring more prominence back to the NSBB forums. Once a week, I'd like to publish a front-page article focusing on the three best forum threads, giving readers outside the forums a reason to join in and participate. We pay a little for all our front page content, so it's not something you'd do for free. Anyone who is neck-deep in the forums here interested in taking on this project? If you're already on the forums daily, you could crank something like this out in just a few minutes every week.

Okay, I quickly typed up a new, abbreviated version of what I wrote earlier.

Damn ittttttttt, somehow the entire article was deleted!

Hello again, Cubs fans! Twice a year, we sit down and find the most popular posts and blogs on North Side Baseball, and their creators receive prizes for their contributions to this community. The Cubs had a wild offseason. In an attempt to win the National League Central, they signed Alex Bregman and traded for Edward Cabrera. We look at the most popular posts and most popular blogs created by our amazing community contributors. Most Popular Post This year, one thread rules the top posts, and long-time users will immediately see why. The most popular post of the offseason goes to @17 Seconds and this meme-based post. One of the best baseball moments of the past few decades is then-manager Bobby Valentine putting on a fake mustache and sneaking back into the dugout after an ejection. 17 seconds, private message me with your name and address so I can send you this Shota Imanaga bobblehead! Most Popular Post Runner-Up Same thread, different comment. @javy knows my name joined in on the fun with this post, good for the second-most-popular comment of the offseason! Most Prolific Poster We like to tip our caps to the poster who earns the most reputation points over an offseason. This year, taking the trophy yet again is @Sammy Sofa. I'd say "get a life, dude", but well, you know. Glass houses, stones, and whatnot. Most Popular Blog Entry One of the features of North Side Baseball is that we offer the ability for any of our users to create a free blog that will be read by hundreds of like-minded Cubs fans. This offseason, the most popular blog entry was from @ryanrc and this blog about how the Cubs should employ a Swiss Army knife approach to pitching. Ryan, to celebrate your win, private message me your name and address so I can send you this cool felt banner with the history of Chicago Cubs logos on it! That's all for this winter, folks. Give a round of applause to all of those mentioned in this piece, and here's to a successful 2026 season for the Cubs! View full article
