Then how come he isn't even going to start game 2 for the sox.

And his era and whip is higher than 4 yankee starters.

He won 17 games because of run support.

Greg Maddux, Roger Clemens, and Mark Prior are all starting game 3 for their teams as well.. are you gonna try and tell me they arent good pitchers either?

in a 5 game series, game 3 is crucial, and more and more teams are catching on.

your talking about wakefield starting game 2 not pettite or wood or zambrano

they are starting wakefield in game 2 because its in oakland, which is a bigger ballpark than fenway, which is more beneficial to knuckleball pitchers, and to go along with game 3 being so crucial, derek lowe has historically pitched very well at fenway.

and his run support was the highest in the majors at 7.26 runs per game

nevertheless, 17-7 means he gave his team a chance to win, which is the most important thing, especially in the playoffs... and in this hitters era, a 4.47 era in the American League isnt really all thet bad

more like his team gave him a chance to win the game

yeah but he still held the leads.. anyways, hes starting game 3 because its a crucial game, whether you are up 2-0, down 0-2, or tied 1-1. its crucial, and they want a pitcher out there that can handle the pressure in front of those screaming red sox fans who have been waiting 85 years for a world series title, starting game 3 is nothing to be ashamed of

He's not starting Game #2 because he's a ground ball pitcher. Wakefield is a fly ball pitcher...the A's park is a huge area making fly ball pitchers more successfull..while Fenway is a ground ball pitchers' park.

Know your baseball d0od.

odd that they made the yankees the noon game.. they are normally prime time, looks like the braves and cubs are top priority this year

braves are going down :p

man, exciting times for cub fans. i just don't wanna see another sweep...

im fine with it going 5 games, let the cubs fans get their hopes up.. as long as we win. ;)

also, ive updated the first post with game 1 pitching matchups

First off I have to say go TWINS. I have tickets to games 3 and 4 and I'm going to be yelling like crazy at the end of game 4 I hope (game 3 would be better but...). In the NL I have to root for the Giants. Sorry to all the apparent cubs fans out there but I don't see them beating the braves. I'll admit that it should be a good series but I think in the end it will be the braves. Anyway, Braves in 5, Giants in 4, Giants in 6, Twins in 4 (I have to), A's in 4, Twins in 6, and Giants in 7.

lots of twins fans all of a sudden.. im pulling for you guys in the first round, but after that i gotta pull for the sox in the ALCS..

here ill do overall predictions

Twins over Yankees in 4

Red Sox over A's in 3

Red Sox over Twins in 6

Braves over Cubs in 4

Giants over Marlins in 5

Braves over Giants in 7

Braves over Red Sox in 5

Is anyone else going to the Braves/Cubs series? ill be there for all the games in atlanta

When are they going to post the starting times for the weekend games? I have tix for Sat and Sun at the Metrodome and I live about 4 hours away, and I have to plan around school possibly if the time suck enough. I want to know now dang it.

for some reason they havent announced them yet... heres the site where they will be though.. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/schedule/ps_03.jsp

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
