that is quite possibly the best ponit evermade on a Neowin forum. You also show a good understanding of the game. Pitching inside to the opposing pitcher is a nice touch you dont get with a DH.

Thanks, I'd like to think that I know more than my fair share about the game.

That's why I'm really excited about the guys the Cubs have on their staff. The way Wood pitches has already been stated, but there were two incidents last year that both involved one heavily armored Barry Bond that get me all excited.

The first was Prior plunking his ass in a game (in San Fran I think) and not backing down one bit when Bonds started yapping. First, I was amazed that he actually managed to hit him in a place that wasn't coverd by an inch of plastic and second that he had the balls to not only jab back at him but to talk about it after the game.

The second incident was Zambrano pitching to him at Wrigley with Bonds up with the bases loaded. Rather than pitching around him or being careful he went right at him and Bonds hit a liner back to Carlos that he snagged. He was all excited and pounding his chest and Bonds got all cry baby about it after the game saying something like "That kid will respect me...He'll learn fast." Zambrano fired back pointing out his hypocrisy with "It was a big out, when he hit his 500th home run, he stood at home plate and watched it a little while, and then he runs. He has been doing that since he was a rookie, so I can do anything I want."

Man, another long post. Sorry again for the psot as well as hijacking the thread. About Vlad...he's easily one of the top 5 hitters in the game so he'll hit anyones pitching. The Angels have improved remarkably with Colon, Escobar, and Vlad. The AL West should be interesting as always (well except for the last place team who shall remain in Texas...I mean nameless.

    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
