The 2003 Neowin MLB Playoff Thread


Recommended Posts

nah....they learned their lesson in 1929 against the philly a's

yeah if only they could have held on to games 4 and 5 of that series they would have been up 3-2 going back to wrigley and this 95 year drought might only be a 74 year drought...

but they won tonight and so did the sox.. i feel a little better about the cubs right now than the sox.. im not really too confident with just one win over the yankees.. if they can go up 2-0 going back to fenway i might feel a little better about it

Is it just me or can anyone else not believe the neverending sport has just started again today....hockey. Ugh.

sure it has a long season, but hockey is cool.. but if they dont sign a new collective bargaining agreement by next september, you wont have to worry about hockey starting up next season

I like hockey, but the whole sport needs a workover. 70% of the teams make it into the playoffs after an incredibly long and often dull season. I think hockey should be 16 games, and the NFL around 100. :yes:

Same here, but at the same time i'm EXCITED that the cubs and sox have WON games. I think it gives them both a bit more momentum to go for wins in the other games. Also...I just get excited when I think of a cubs-sox series.

Now BOOG...a 100 game football season???? Talk about ICK! You move to Cincinnati and you'll soon hate it. Anyway...football starts at like the end of August? And it goes through the end of January? That's 5 months to play 16 games! What a waste!

As for hockey, I don't think the season is NEAR as long as basketball's is. I'd be happy if basketball disappeared.

me too.. a cubs-sox series is something ive dreamed about since i first starting watching baseball when i was like 3.. 2 magnificent classic ballparks, 2 sets of loyal, devoted, and knowledgable fans, 2 teams with nearly century long world series droughts, if not for the DH, it would be a baseball purist's dream come true

You are right on every count. Perfect (Y)

See...that's the point. I'm a Cowboy fan. :) Bring on the football.

*sigh*

:argh:

I think the entire country will fall in love with baseball even more with a Chicago Cubs vs. Boston Red Sox World Series.

yah...it would be a great way to bring it out of the hole it's been in and bring the fans back

yep.. the ratings are already up 21% so far, just imagine if they both made the series

The ratings would go sky high and hell would freeze over because one of them would HAVE to win. I think I'd die of happiness.

only one downside to it.. one of them would have to lose.. again.. and then they would be all alone.. the cubs and red sox have always kinda fed off eachother.. the white sox havent won it since 1917 and the indians havent since 1948, but those teams just dont have the same kind of fans and arent as easy to love as the cubs and sox

Not one of them would have to lose again, the Cubs would have to lose again. The NLs got little to no chance in this World Series.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99. That's 27% off and $90 saved for a solid Wi-Fi solution that covers your entire home (purchase link down below). The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node. You set up the entire thing through the eero app, and the entire process takes a few minutes. The system also receives automatic security updates in the background, so once you set it up, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues. If you're covering a larger home or want more nodes, the 3-pack is $329.99 and the 4-pack is $479.98, both at similar discount levels. It's worth mentioning that a newer model exists, which is likely the reason for the discount, but the Pro 6E is still perfectly capable hardware for most homes.
