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.

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • 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.
