ROFL.

Beckett is going to get lit up now that the Yankees hitters have seen him.

Yankees in 7, the lucky Marlins can only be lucky to a certain extent.  They won't get past Pettite or Moose.

It's too bad Pro Player stadium is a football stadium, if it had been a normal baseball stadium, Bernie's hit woulda tied it up, and Bernie'd have 4 homers in the WS.

Oh well, no excuses -- losing Wells in the first inning hurt, but Torre made a mistake by putting Contreras in so early.  Shoulda asked Wells to stay out for an out, or maybe just 3-4 pitches and let Contreras get warm.

PS- What's with the Marlins bandwagon fans...?  I know of like 5 people who suddenly LOVE the Marlins and have "followed" them since the beginning.  I also noticed how 3 of the 5 are from Boston... hrm.

Your statements are foolish at best. Beckett has allowed 6 hits and 3 runs over his last 20.1 innings while striking out 24. If you think that he's going to "get lit up", you're on some sort of illicit substance. The only run he gave up the yankees was on a bases loaded walk and the only player who even got a hit off of him in game 3 was Jeter. Beckett threw a 3 hitter (all hits to Jeter) over 7.1 innings. As for the Marlins not getting past star pitching...dont' bet on it. Ask the cubs all about that. Prior and Wood, with no offense to Pettite and Mussina, are far more dominant this postseason. The hottest pitcher in baseball right now is Beckett anyway, without a doubt. Not to mention the marlins have Pavano for game 7 should they need him. Yankees couldn't seem to solve him in Game 4 and I wouldn't be against a repeat in Game 7...

As for my being a Marlins fan: I'm from Miami and I have been a Marlins fan since they were innaguarated. Not sure about anyone else on here or all of the fans you've heard about, but I'm a fan and I'm happy to say that. Say whatever you want.

*sigh* Not for nothing, when the yankees win, any yankee fans I know never bash the other team. The marlins won, they earned it, but I hope the marlin fans respect yankee fans.

we all know how yankees fans are known for being respectfull of other teams fans :blink:

Next year its the Phils all the way...no..really :p

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
