The 2003 Neowin MLB Playoff Thread

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.

you just proved my point, the a's have better pitching, hence, boston will not score as much

You're so wrong. Did you even watch the game? The Sox had amazing pitching this whole series, and Pedro is gonna pitch game 5.

The problem is that they finished with a record slugging percentage and so far they haven't hit crap. Not because the A's have amazing pitchers though, as was proven today.

I agree with you threetonesun. When their offense starts up, everyone needs to watch out. They have an excellent offense. One of the best in the AL imo. Also, their momentum should carry them to the NLDS win.

And also, the Yankees won. So a Red Sox v. Yankees ALCS would be sweet.

Mother ****ing umpires just screwed us. Lofton clearly caught a ball hit to the outfield with 2 on and 0 out, but they said he didnt catch it, so he throws it in, a runner scores and Giles, who was at 1st, is out because Sheffield who hit the ball passed him at first base. Horrible umpiring. Should be 4-0.

Not just sweet, super sweet. And I'm putting my money on whomever takes the AL to win the WS. I just don't think the NL teams have it this year, although Florida could suprise me.

Hell officially dropped a few hundred degrees tonight. The Cubs ended their 95 year streak, and Boston pulled another one out of their, err gloves.

Man, this really sucks, the Yankees are my favorite team, and Oakland is my second favorite, but I really want to see the Redsox and the Cubs in the World Series (and hell actually would freeze over at that point).

If the impossible does happen, Chicago over Boston in 7. Otherwise it'll be Yanks over the Cubs in 6.

well i just got back from the falcons and braves games, and i am frustrated to say the least. i'm happy for the cubs fans for finally winning a series, but i am getting really tired of this same sh1t every year.. some other team comes along that actually has some emotion in october and they always beat us out. whatever, im gonna be recovering from this for a few days.. since the falcons suck i was looking forward to hockey season, then as i left the ballpark tonight i hear on the radio that Atlanta Thrashers center Dan Snyder has died. just a pretty crappy day for an atlanta sports fan.

as for the playoffs.. now im going with red sox over cubs in 7

Not quite. Giles was out because he didn't go to second base. There was a force there. Sheffield COULD have been out if he would have passed Giles. The Umps said that the cubs stepped on second base to get Giles out BEFORE sheffield passed him. It was a close play though. If the Cubs would have touched second AFTER sheffield passed Giles, Sheffield would have been out on site, but since they said Giles was already out, he was ok.

I had stepped out urinal.gif and missed that play.

I started rooting for the Cubs after my Phils got eliminated, but its getting tough, since my brother in-law is a life long Cubs fan, and seeing him so happy is giving me pains :pinch:

yeah there was one guy in my section that didnt know what to do with himself.. he jumped over the tarp and ran out on the field waving a cubs pennant, giving high fives to sosa and lofton. security didnt see him i guess.. the grounds crew came out and tackled him. he got arrested and walked off the field sticking his tongue out at everyone.. the rest of the cubs fans seemed to be pretty well behaved.

the drunk ones in my section werent all that great, more like annoying, but it was a great game to see in person, too bad braves didnt win :(

Yea, that is going to be an awesome matchup. I will be rooting for you guys.

Anyways, Im sure the Cubs fans were ###### at the game. Mocking the tomahawk chop and all, but I live in Chicago and flew down for game 2 and I can see why. The tomahawk chop is the most ****ing racist and annoying thing I have ever witnessed in my life. And it just goes non-stop.

    • 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"
