Great to have you back! Thanks to everyone that worked to get the site up and running again.

The only thing i have noticed is that the number of comments on the main page at the bottom of an article link doesnt show now, it just says “comments” instead of “25 comments” etc.
That was actually something we did by design. Not related to the DDOS attack, but just something we’re doing for now because it improves load time on the homepage.
I think I prefer to see the comment count, so we’re going to work on a solution that allows for that without affecting load time. It may be a month or so off, however.

Man, you got something really good going with this site.

very glad to have you back!

That was quite the tale.

Nice to have you back gauys!
Seems like nothing can hold back rumors on baseball from spreading across the internet huh!!!
Hopefully, Tim Dirkes and the rest of you keep up the good stuff. You truly are one of the epi centers of baseball these days. I’d sure like to see an interview with Dierkes about how it all came about.
Or an editorial.
BTW, i think you should prohibit people from using players names in the commentary field unless they aren’t the real player.
I once asked Alex Anthopolous about something in the commentary field. But his answer led me to believe he was a fake Anthopolous.

Umm are you serious about that last part?

Hes not the only guy who’s been faked.

Great work not only getting the site back up and running, but in communicating the issues to us followers as best as you could. I appreciate the effort to keep your readers in the loop, and I am sure others do as well.

welcome back.. I hope karma comes back around to the son of a gun (not my first choice of curse words) who tried this…

Welcome back…couldn’t imagine how MLBTR could have gone belly up!
Typepad…ug…I had to migrate a client from Typepad –> WordPress a few years ago. It seems Typepad makes it as difficult as they can for you to leave….hope you guys had an easier time at it.
