  1. Okay, thanks. Are you getting a "Sorry" message or an error with a long series of code and links? I'm seeing two different issues, I think I have one of them resolved but want to be sure.
  2. Are you having issues with viewing some or all forum topics? Do me a favor: try a different browser and see if that works. I'm trying to isolate the problem but cannot replicate it from my end; knowing whether a different browser cures the problem will steer me toward it being a local caching issue on your machine or a potential error in a site instance. If you can, post here with any information.
  3. This might be a rough one. Civale is quite good and Taillon somehow has an ERA that's almost up to seven.
  4. Writing for The Athletic, Jon Heyman has reported that the Cubs are not pursuing an extension of Marcus Stroman before the trade deadline. Hoyer seems to employ a "wait and see" approach and has stated that the Cubs aren't interested in negotiating with a player during the season. Stroman is a wild card and maybe that's leading to there being more rumors swirling around this than usual for a player in Stroman's situation, holding an opt-out clause in his contract after the completion of the 2023 season. Stroman is known for taking matters into his own hands, openly speaking about his contract situation and seemingly wanting to extend with the Cubs, though surely more on his terms than the team's. Ever the self-promoter, this may end up working in the right-hander's favor as contract time comes, as he has shown an ability to keep himself center stage and rally fans behind him, particularly given his stellar performance in 2023.

  6. Ah... you see... *smirks in a very face-punchy way* What we're doing here is for security purposes. And "security" costs money so I'm going to need each of you to pay me $8/mo or you can only read seven threads a day.
  7. Okay, found the plugin that was causing issues with specific threads, disabled it for now until we can apply a real fix.
  8. Working on that right now, a software update borked a small number of threads and I'm not seeing how they're connected yet.
  9. Welcome to North Side Baseball! Goldschmidt is perhaps the most intriguing name on the board. He has some control but it's not so onerous that it's particularly concerning if things go awry. But how comfortable are teams trading in the division like this? Personally, I don't think it's a big deal but clubs often feel differently.
  10. Another national game. As a person who rather dislikes the Guardians, I'm okay with the Cubs beating the living hell out of them again.
  11. Well, let's just forget that Phillies series happened and move on to the Guardians.
  12. A couple of pretty bad games. need to salvage a win today.
  13. Not a good game last night, let's try this again.
  14. Anyone know who the Cubs plan to run out on the mound today?
  15. Well, this is basically a best-case scenario. Occasionally, finger blisters have a tendency to hang around longer than you expect but when they do heal (and often heal quickly), the player is back to 100% instantly.
  16. Not watching the game yet, sounds like it's going brilliantly based on the "WTF" and "dumb" comments.
  17. Speaking to fans and journalists before the start of the London series versus the Cardinals, Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts says the Cubs are buyers right now. He later walked that back a bit, saying it's possible that changes with a team collapse. Given the relative weakness of the National League Central and the Cubs playing red-hot baseball over the past couple of weeks, it seems rather unlikely they fall out of contention for the division title over the next several weeks. The article points out that the infield corners and bullpen are the most obvious holes to patch at the deadline. Who should the Cubs target at the deadline?

  19. The Cubs have the opportunity to sweep this two-game series while returning to a .500 record for the first time since May 12th.
