The 2003 Neowin MLB Playoff Thread

The poor folks got carried away, I hope that their names are not made public, they just got caught up in the moment.

8-3 thats a freakin tradgedy.

But reaching for a ball is a reflex and anyone who says different is just full of crap or has never been to a ball game.

/me crosses fingers for game 7, Florida must be defeated http://www.blaise.us/emots/hands.gif

this was not "a ball game"

i may not live long enough to see this happen again. been waiting 26 yrs.

that fact just makes my point more correct, they were caught up in it.

Don't give up hope though, in Game 7..you'll see people falling over eachother to get out of the way of the ball :p

under any other circumstances for any other team other than maybe the red sox i would agree with you. ive been to numerous ball games and i am well aware of the desire to get a baseball. however, when you assume the responsibility of a front row seat in any game, youve got to pay more attention than the other fans and let the players play the game. especially when its the playoffs, especially when your team is the chicago cubs, and especially when they are 5 OUTS FROM THE WORLD SERIES! i dont want to hear any excuses for this guy, he has got to be aware of the situation and he remember what is at stake here and let alou make the play. i am furious at this guy and im not even a cubs fan. i can only imagine what many cubs fans would do if they could get their hands on him. he was escorted out of the park for his own safety by security guards after being drenched in beer by the surrounding fans. i hope for this guys safety and i hope this doesnt ruin his passion for baseball, but there's no excuse for that.

i dunno what to say

i dunno what to do

i got on the train with a 3-0 lead

i was in shock when i saw my gf's face when she picked me up.

i'm still in shock.

i can't describe what i feel right now.

15+ years i've waited for this day.

year after year, i said "there's always next year!"

i never thought we'd get this close. i didn't even care about winning that much. it was just about staying a fan, no matter how hard it got. it was about watching the games with other cubs fans, always trying to be positive.

please wake me up from this nightmare...

hang in there man, i may not know what its like to wait that long for a world series, but i sure know the disappointment of losing in the playoffs, hey youve still got tomorrow..hopefully the cubbies will still pull it off.. if theres a manager who can calm these guys down, its dusty..

but if the cubs lose tomorrow, that fan's life is ruined

thats a great pic.. man if they lose this game tonight, that guy will never hear the end of that.. or he may not be around long to hear anything

Edited by CatnipOligarthy

I got so sick of hearing about that damn fan today. All the Cubs fans were whining and crying because that guy lost them the game. Sure that was one factor, but did that guy give up 8 runs? Did that guy make an error on a ground ball? Did that guy give up a double with 2 outs and a man on second? 'Nuff said.

    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
    • I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
