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

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
