The SBNation servers seem to be running a bit slow today, due to extraordinarily high traffic generated by the MLB trade deadline.  Apparently some guy named Manny has something to do with it.

Sorry about the inconvenience.  They're working on it, and in fact it does seem to be getting better the last hour or so.  So be patient and hopefully it will be working normally soon.  I know a couple people at least have had comments that they thought were lost that eventually showed up.  That's a symptom of the slow servers.
