The 2003 Neowin MLB Playoff Thread


Recommended Posts

I can remember many a posts ago when i tried to explain to many neowinians that derek lowe was overrated.  Nobody seemed to listen to me.  Derek Lowe walked a couple of people and got the L in game 1. 

Oaktown baby.

He's a great starter, but only a decent closer. That's the main problem. He's far from overrated.

A great starter. That is a joke. And yall think i know little about baseball. A great starter would have come in a got people out, plain and simple.

The starter role and the closer role are VERY different. Course you'd know that if you knew anything about baseball. I'd be suprised if ANY starter came in for a couple innings at the end of the game and do well. The mindset it quite different.

Seattle use to bring in Randy Johnson back in the day when they need him. Boston also used Pedro in situations like that.

ARRRGH!!!!! :angry: :angry: :argh: :argh: .. every single year!! the braves always have such great promise going into the postseason.. then they fail... this year its the offense.. we are said to have an overpowering offense.. then we get a grand total of 2 hits in a pivotal game? i dont care how good the pitcher is, some of our players swung at some absolutely horrible pitches.. we are now on the brink of elimination yet again and play tomorrow afternoon in chicago. hopefully they will be able to force a game 5 back in atlanta.. but with the way things are going, i wouldnt bet on it

Great game, though the outcome wasn't suprising. I was hoping they'd pitch Wood tomorrow night to end the series in Chicago, but it looks like they are going with Clement.

Now if SF can get their act together, the Yanks take care of MN, and Oakland beats the Sox...that would be my ideal playoffs.

maddux got out pitched. prior pitched an amazing game: topping out at 95 in the 9th inning is unheard of. his stamina is what won that game for the cubs.... tomarrow night should be a good game also, clement is pitching against ramirez.... maybe the braves might get 3 hits tomarrow :yes:

*go braves* :p

home run trot nixon, red sox win! what do you think about derek lowe now chico?

He had a good game, i'm not gonna make excuses like everyone else in this forum seems to do.

But the red sox won't move on. They don't have enough pitching. Like I said in my first post.

Well you'd know this if you had paid any attention to the Sox/A's games, but their pitching hasn't been the problem. It's their batting that has killed them.

The big 4...Nomar, Mueller, Ramirez, and Millar have gone a combined 11-52, ZERO RBI, and 27 runners left on base. That's a .211 Batting average. If you take out Nomar's stats, which are so-so, it gets worse...6-40, ZERO RBI, and 22 left on base, with a .150 batting average. That is terrible! Sorry, but Boston's pitching hasn't lost this series, it's Boston's big hitters that will cost them the series. With Boston's 7 runs per game average on offense, their pitchers have more then done their part.

weee braves and sox both won.. maybe my world series prediction can still happen.. cant wait for game 5 tomorrow.. hopefully we will be able to hit kerry wood this 2nd time around

Heh, we will have to see. You didnt do so well with him the first time around. However, your outburst of hitting yesterday has me somewhat worried. Also, when Sosa hit that ball and did his hop, didnt you almost **** your pants? I did lol.

Anyway, Im very happy for the Sox. They are my favorite AL team. A Cubs v. Sox World Series is still what I am hoping for, but right now we still have to get past Atlanta and the super-hot Florida Marlins.

    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
