oh yeah,, when they weren't dominant, you mean when the reign began........anyway, thats understandable, when you think of baseball you think of the yankees first unless your a really big fan of the sport. plus you live in NYC, so theres no problem, with me the people that annoy me are the ones from other places that know absolutley nothing about baseball but still rub it in your face win the world series (so, who was the yanks all-star first baseman again? ummm, WE WON!)

Well, no I'm not biased toward my team. I support them simply because I do not like the Mets as much as the Yankees. I do not "hate" any other team, not even the Angels, Marlins, or Diamondbacks. I do not spit in the faces of fans of other teams. I am not George Steinbrenner, so it's not like I can control his decisions. I'll support what he does, whether good or bad. I was rather annoyed how easily he was able to pick up A-Rod, but we'll leave that to another topic. This topic is for naming your favorite team, and I apologize for going off-topic in this thread.

I began watching baseball as a whole in 1994, when I still did not speak English very well, and I decided to stick with one New York team. At that time, I still had not heard of the history of the Yankees and how legendary the team and stadium actually are. Then 2 years later, they won the World Series, and I was shocked beyond belief.

So please trust me when I say this, that I liked the Yankees from the moment that I began to like baseball in early 1994, when the Yankees were not really as dominant and imposing as they are now, and don't call me "not a real fan", just because I live in NYC and am a Yankee fan. It is still possible to be a Yankee fan and be a real fan of baseball. Not like I can switch to another team, at least until I move to another city, as then I'd be called a traitor. I will support the Yankees for the rest of my life. I'm sure sometime in my lifetime they will suck again. They can't be dominant forever. I will support them still.

LA Dodgers...always have been, always will be. Even though there is not all that much to be happy about the last few years. I mean. come on. last year we have a miniscule ERA that should have won us the championship, but we averaged 3 and a half runs a game!!!! I think the Red Sox averaged 3 and a half runs an inning. And so looking for a big bat in the off-season we aquire the super-fantabulistic Juan Encarcion to help our offense. But I look at the bright side and think well at least he can strike out in batting practice and help boost the confidence of the batting practice pitcher...

yikes...

I thought about doubling down with White Sox and Cards. My dad is from the Springfield/St. Louis area so he's a big Cardinal fan. Too bad theres only one White Sox fan. :/

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

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      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.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
