The 2003 Neowin MLB Playoff Thread


Recommended Posts

Bah, I have to give in. Since the Cubs made it past the Braves I give them some credit. I think they have a chance at the big Series for only one reason-they're playing the Marlins. Had it been the Giants who would've beat Florida, it'd be a different story. I never thought I would be saying this, but good luck Cubbies.

bah im so tired of the marlins.. i can just see 1997 happening all over again.. they win the world series, no one cares, then they sell all their players and win 60 games the next year. the marlins fans are all bandwagon hoppers, the cubs have real fans, and are a better team than florida. this is only one game, hopefully they can still pull it out

2 games tonight, red sox/yanks and cubs/marlins. kinda a must win tonight for the cubbies, and theyve got prior going, so theyve got a good shot. red sox yankees should be a great series. red sox nation against the evil empire.. lets go sox and cubbies!

It isn't a must win in a 7 game series till you are 2-0, then I really think it is, but with Prior pitching, and Wood, who Jack McKeon has already stated he is absolutely terrified of going against, the Cubs have a good chance of going 2-1, and if Clement, who either struggles or pitches like Prior/Wood, can be on fire for that game, they could go up 3-1. But all hypothetical, but hey, I was at last night's game outside on Waveland when Sosa hit the bomb in the bottom of the 9th, holy ****! I was drunk as hell from being at the bar and then I was outside Wrigley, it was pandemonium, it was like we'd won the World Series for a minute. Insane! I got my tickets, row 11 behind the Cubs dugout, couldn't make it there tonight, boss said I absolutely had to come in if I wanted off for any more games... so here I am. DAMMIT!

I'm trying to flip between the games. It's gonna be fun (Y)

NEVER EVER thought that I'd be rooting for an American League team - esp NYY and the Bosox - to win a game but here I am with fingers crossed for the Bosox. But, dammit, I want a Cubbies-Bosox world series!

GO CUBBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough" by Usama Jawad We have seen Microsoft resort to questionable tactics in the past to get more customers to use Edge, such as "bribing" people to use Edge, testing new behavior so that Edge loads automatically on startup every time, and pressuring OEMs to exclusively bundle Edge in Windows PCs. However, the company often receives pushback not only from customers but also from the Browser Choice Alliance (BCA). Now, the collective has penned an open letter to the Redmond tech firm to highlight its dissatisfaction with its practices. For those unaware, BCA is a coalition that touts several browser vendors as its members, including Google Chrome, Midori, Opera, Vivaldi, BrowserWorks, and Wavebox. Its latest open letter to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasizes that "enough is enough" and that user choice on Windows should be respected. It claimed that the company is abusing its dominant position in the PC space to push customers to its first-party browser, even if they don't want to use it. To do this, it resorts to shady tactics, some of which we highlighted at the start of this piece. It says that Microsoft is making it very difficult for users to set their preferred browser across all touchpoints. This is problematic as PCs are becoming even more prevalent in the AI era, so user choice is being restricted across even more devices, further frustrating users (and competing browser vendors). As such, BCA has urged Microsoft to take the following actions to level the playing field: Allow browser suppliers to compete for preinstallation and default deals with Windows PC manufacturers End dark patterns targeted at users seeking to download and effectively use other browsers (including as system-level default) Bring back the ability for users to make switching default browsers simple and transparent with a “single click” change for all relevant file types and apps (including PDFs) Open all web links in the users’ selected system-level browser of choice Eliminate manipulative Microsoft-exclusive banners pushing Edge in Windows, including when users are searching for other browsers Stop using operating system updates to push users back to Edge Remove the restrictive configurations of existing S mode devices that block the usage of third-party browsers. It believes that all browsers should compete on merit, as this will drive innovation and healthy competition. Despite its strong wording and publication of the letter openly, it's unclear if Microsoft will pay any heed to the BCA and if this will result in any tangible downstream benefits. We'll likely find out in due time.
