[MLB] Cubs' postseason chances are now 99% gone


Recommended Posts

what happens if there's a 4 way tie for wildcard?

i remember there was a 2 way tie between cubs and giants a few years back...do they go off of head to head record? or they just played the 1 game tiebreak?

I'm crossing my fingers my Cardinals will go all the way. I have been hoping for a

Cards/Yankees series since the 64 series!

Yeah, I'm THAT old!

:alien:

A couple of my friends went to the game today and coming from a Sox fan, I think the Cubs played a great game.

White Sox in 2005! :p

Shut up A-hole.

ha. just playin,

The cubs still have a chance but its gonna be a whole lot harder because ther are 2 other teams in contention also.

BTW, cubs had a tiebreaker game with San Fran when they tied for wild card.(Its a one-game outcome)

If there is a tie, say between the Dodgers, Giants, and Cubs. First tiebreaker would be between the Dodgers and Giants to see who would win the NL West Division. Then the winner would play the Cubs for the wildcard spot. And since the Giants won the coin toss, they would get home field advantage should the situation arise. :)

I'm going to Saturday's Astros game. I'm pumped and ready for the Wildcard!! We got the Rockies, Cubs got the Braves, and Giants play the Dodgers. On paper it would look like we hae the easiest games, but we don't play the games on paper. GO 'STROS!!!

yeah, i don't know what went wrong. if last year just went to our heads, maybe they just expected to make it there, and this time not choke, but we forgot to get there first...or if it was the injuries....

on paper we have the best team in baseball....our 5th starter has 300 wins...we have how many guys with 30+ homeruns, 4?

man, i'm so depressed...i've been sulking around all day...

and just for the record, i've been a cub fan since i was about 6 or whenever i figured out what baseball was....

at least we'll be back out of the spotlight like usual, and all the bandwagon fans from last year will leave us alone...

:cry:

    • Watchdog finds Microsoft guilty of confusing advertising when it comes to Copilot by Usama Jawad While Microsoft is advocating for Copilot usage in both personal and enterprise environments as much as possible, it arguably hasn't made as big of a splash as it wanted. Now, the U.S. watchdog National Advertising Division (NAD) has criticized Microsoft for some of its advertising practices when it comes to Copilot. In a recent blog post spotted by The Verge, NAD noted that Copilot does possess the functionalities that Microsoft expressly claims it does in enterprise use cases. This includes capabilities like summarization of content, generating text, and creating outlines for PowerPoint slide decks. While Copilot does have some limitations in this area, NAD thinks that they are pretty minor, so the lack of disclosure in this area doesn't really impact how most customers leverage Copilot. That said, the watchdog discovered some problems in Microsoft's messaging when it came to Business Chat. It believes that Redmond's universal and interchangeable use of Copilot for both the assistant and Business Chat can cause confusion among users, as they judge their functionalities. For example, NAD argues that while Copilot is quite fast at seamlessly generating documents in other applications, this is not the case with Business Chat, which requires more manual steps, and this is not abundantly clear in the advertising on Microsoft's website. Finally, NAD advised Microsoft to get rid of its claims regarding an increase in productivity and ROI because while the tech giant does have supporting studies to back its boasts, they do not provide a "good fit" for objective claims. It's also worth highlighting that the UK government recently did trial Copilot in work environments and discovered that participants did save 26 minutes per day on average. Still, it seems like this is not good enough for NAD. Interestingly, Microsoft did respond to NAD's advisory, saying that while it disagrees with some of the watchdog's findings, it has made changes to its advertising messages in order to comply with NAD's recommendations.

    • These are the same ignorant, gullible, cowardly fools who still believe that gods are real and that fictional White Jesus is coming back to Earth "any day now". It's a Venn-diagram of two almost perfectly concentric circles. In short, they'll buy anything you lie to them about as long as it makes them less afraid... Of things the rest of us know we don't have to be afraid of at all.
