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!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
