    So, the site's been down only for me, for close to 2 days?

    Except that other people are reporting the same issues (someone PM'ed me saying they experienced same), so it likely isn't on my end. So let me get this straight: some people are saying that their scheme/skin looks like my screenie, others are saying that it doesn't, and that in both cases they...

    So, the site's been down only for me, for close to 2 days?

    This is what the main forum page looks like to me now: Didn't look like that before today. Bizarre that the admins are insisting that there has NOT been any sort of redesign. :confused:

    So, the site's been down only for me, for close to 2 days?

    I kept getting errors which said there was no server at this url, at all, from Monday evening until now. [through last night c. 11 pm] I finally log back in this morning-and see that the entire site has been completely redesigned. And I note plenty of posts made when my browser kept insisting...

    Steven Wright suspended 80 games for PEDs

    Getting off-topic, but most states have Romeo & Juliet laws to cover just such contingencies.

    2018-19 Offseason Thread

    I'll just point out re: Pearce is that he will be 36 next year, and that the Sox system is currently heavy in slugging corner infielders.

    Meaningful or meaningless? Playoff odds discussion

    They also had this past weekend the Dodgers w/ the best NL World Series odds-even when Colorado was leading the division. Presumably having a fairly high chance of going to the play-in game and risking a one and done would have significantly cut their odds, eh wot? Meanhoo while the Dodgers...

    100 Wins

    Any idea why, just to name two, the defensive metrics are all over the place for him? Fangraphs and UZR have him at +3 runs. BBRef tho has him at -16 runs for the year.using DRS.

    How Much Better Are Players Now?

    I do wonder about current steeper aging curves amongst hitters, in relation to just how much harder pitchers are throwing now. Take AGon for example. His prime started about a decade ago, lasted about 5 years. It may be that his decline and release were just as much because of all the heat...

    JD Martinez Triple Crown Chase.

    2 years chosen more or less at random: 1980 had 33, 2000 had 46. Yes, qualifiers only.

    How Much Better Are Players Now?

    Many 70's contenders often had many starters with K's below 4/9, often below 3. Unimaginable today. One shocking way to look at it: the average K/9 now (8.5) is higher than that of all but 3 pitchers who pitched before 1980 (Nolan Ryan, Sudden Sam McDowell, and Sandy Koufax). I also recall...
