  1. No, comments were supposed to post in this thread. Thanks for pointing that out. Given that this is an all-new system, there's a good chance we just screwed up the code somewhere.
  2. Yuck to yesterday's game, a real waste of a Stroman start. But new day with a day game! Except it is on Apple TV+. Is this a new thing for Apple? I can't recall a day game on the service before.
  3. We try to compensate the best we can, it's kind of "our thing" as a way to keep the model sustainable and not become exploitative (glares at SB Nation). Some of our writers donate their earnings to various minor league funds or a charity if that's the route you'd like to take.
  4. You interested in trying your hand at front page stuff? We could really use some MiLB coverage. We can pay a little but not much, as we're still building out the site and traffic. No huge obligation, just whatever suits your fancy.
  5. By the way, we have a really cool voting page here and our prospect list is community-voted. We'll be opening another round of voting shortly after the trade deadline so keep an eye out for it and be sure to participate. Here is the thread from the last round of voting:
  6. Microscopic, under 5%. The Brewers are playing extremely well right now.
  7. Any app we build would have to be custom-built by us. Maybe that's possible but we'd need a few more (profitable) sites to warrant the cost of building that, which would easily go into tens of thousands of dollars.
  8. I hope Orioles fans are putting pressure on the front office and ownership because the way they’ve handled the past eight months is embarrassing. They have a rock bottom payroll, did basically nothing in the off-season, and now they’re saying their top ten is off limits? Get out of here.
  9. As mediocre as those unis are, they're not even in the bottom third of the CC jersey set (hey Rockies and Red Sox).
  10. By the way for all you PSD people with existing NSBB accounts, any time you want a screen name change, just shoot me a PM.
  11. They did ditch Minnie & Paul on the uniforms, though it's still all around Target Field so part of the Twins branding. I love the new uniforms and think it's hilarious the Twins designed one of the best City Connect uniforms (their alternate Twin Cities gear) before Nike could come in and design an abomination that everyone dislikes.
  12. Because of all your charming personalities, of course.
  13. It's becoming rapidly apparent that the Cubs have two of the hottest commodities on the trade deadline market in Marcus Stroman and Cody Bellinger, especially with the Angels gaining new life and sweeping the Yankees, returning to the fringes of the American League Wild Card race. During an episode of the Onto Waveland Podcast (29 minute mark), it is mentioned that while the Rays do not appear to be interested in Cody Bellinger, they are interested in acquiring Stroman. The Rays are floundering a bit lately, losing their season-long hold on first place in the American League East. They need starting pitching and have a farm system that is miles-deep in typical Rays fashion.

  15. I do know Brandon Warne! We have a love/hate relationship with him over at Twins Daily. One of the core TD guys has been in a decades-long pissing match with Warne. It's rather silly, if you want my honest opinion about it. Both of them go at each other constantly on Twitter for reasons I cannot grasp. Yet another reason why I use Twitter for business reasons and try to avoid it otherwise.
  16. Yep, very different over here. A bit of background on me is that I'm actually a Twins and Brewers (ducks tomatoes) fan. I started running a Twins website close to 20 years ago, merged with a bunch of folks to create Twins Daily, and then a few years ago, started noticing legacy communities dropping like flies. You know, kinda exactly what is happening with PSD. Over the years, I've become pretty good at running sites (I was a web developer by trade before moving into this role) and figured "hey, maybe I can stop some of this from happening" and started applying my knowledge to other communities. Last year we bought Brewer Fanatic and earlier this year, @Tim was gracious enough to sell us NSBB (he formed the site 20 years ago and is still active 'round these parts). So now we're here! Please encourage your PSD friends to check us out. I *hate* that these communities are dying and in their place, Reddit and Facebook and their ilk are taking the place of independent communities that play by their own rules, not the rules of a corporate behemoth out of silicon valley.
  17. Yeah, PSD is running some ancient version of... vBulletin, maybe? I know I've used the software platform they're on right not but I've used most software platforms and they all kinda blur together at this point. The software they're using is at least a decade old.
  18. Any of the newbies: If you're on social, please consider giving us a follow/like, it helps a lot! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NorthSideCubs Twitter: https://twitter.com/northsidebaseb
  19. In the past seven days, NSBB has drawn in more unique users than it did during the 2016 World Series.

  20. Trading with the Rays is overblown, they're not magicians. I consider them much smarter than the Twins front office overall and the Twins have won every trade they've had with the Rays in the past five years (and by a lot).
