yeah, hi. this is all too familiar. i'll pay someone who can explain to me why bobby cox brought in chris reitsma, who has been hammered over the last month or so of the season, instead of going to alfonseca, who has pitched surprisingly well.. does he really think that a deciding game in the playoffs is a good time to build a pitchers confidence back? also, carlos beltran has already hit 2 HRs in the game. 3-1 count. runner on 2nd. just go ahead and walk him.. nope.. base hit, another RBI. good call. i was at the game tonight, 3rd year in a row ive been there to see us eliminated, and it never gets any easier. we werent supposed to make it this far, but it still hurts. i have no idea what our team is going to look like next season. i'm going to be ****ed off for a week or so, then i'll move on. the falcons are playing well at least this year, and when march comes around, i'll be ready to do it all over again. Thanks for another great regular season atlanta.. theres always next year.

and in the meantime, go sox.

i think the yanks are gonna do it, but not because of their pitching. especially since Mo might not play tonight due to the unfortunate events that happened over the weekend. Just remember, the yanks are #1 for comeback victories and making Schilling sit in the dugout crying.

Mussina was pitching great untill he gave up that hit in the 7th (or was it the 6th) you could tell he was ****ed and after that he wasnt trying as hard.

but Riverra... what can you say. for a guy that just lost 2 family members and to fly to NY, and get a police escort to the game, and pitch the game to save it. wow. thats dedication.

I cannot believe the 'Stros pulled this one out today! I shut the game off at 4-1 and had to take the kid's to a birthday party (try to get them to turn on a TV at Chuck E Cheese). Anyway, they announced the 6-5 win and I went crazy. Now we need another Backe miracle to make it 3-2 and head beck to St. Louis!!!

def cant wait for the boston/new york game... i am surprised boston was able to pull off the win after that terrible inning with the poor infield play... but.. either way.. i want to see boston come out with the win in this series... (even though it is unlikely)... i predict a newyork/houston world series but am hoping for a Boston/Houston WS!!!

Not to put the cart before the horse, but wouldn't it be great seeing Clemens pitch in New York?  Think maybe he would get a nice ovation from the crowd?  I think they would salute him, but there would probably be a few boo birds.

I would boo him.

Nothing worse than saying you'd end your career in New York, then coming back and pitching for another team, especially in the World Series, he'd never heart the end of it. :no: :shifty:

qft.

I always said Clemens was evil since he left us.

I really couldn't believe we lost game three. It wasn't even a loss, it was a freaking massacre. However, if we pull off a win today, we'll be in a similar place as were last year (losing the series 3 to 2 going into New York for two games). So all is not lost!

(btw, me = Red Sox fan if you didn't catch on :wacko: )

      "to in-game content custom-made for the brands" Which EA will turn around and charge customers extra for in an attempt to double dip.

Recovery tools here may be able to find them for you. Maybe you'd like to check your hard drive health? A disk tool will display its S.M.A.R.T. data (if the drive supports this), so you can view read/ write errors, temperature and other useful details. Is your system unstable? The System Utilities section includes several tools that can help to explain why your PC might be crashing. And there are a host of other programs on offer in categories like "Network Monitoring", "Web Browser Tools", "Video/ Audio Related Utilities", "Outlook/ Office Utilities" and more. Please note, perhaps because a few of these tools can be used maliciously (the password revealers, say), some antivirus programs will flag them as threats. We've never had a problem with any NirSoft tool, though, and you can read more on this issue at the author's site. NirLauncher is an excellent set of free tools, and a must-have for everyone's portable troubleshooting toolkit.

NirLauncher package includes variety of tools that you may need for your daily computer use, including utilities to recover lost passwords, to monitor your network, to view and extract cookies, cache, and other information stored by your Web browser, to search files in your system, and more... For every utility in the package, you can easily run it, view the help file, or jump to the Web page of the utility. When using it from USB flash drive, the configuration of every utility is saved into .cfg file on the flash drive.

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By MikeK13 · Posted

      What people who support this position of LibreOffice do not understand is that EuroOffice is not made to appease the open source enthusiasts (I am also one) and evangelists. EuroOffice was made because some European companies wanted independence from Microsoft Office Suite, which is something installable on your computer. This move to independence was pushed by public institutions and governments in Europe, as well. Using a proprietary FORMAT as default, does not make you dependent on MS. The actual program does. A format can be changed with a simple update in the future in a dystopian world where MS would manipulate the format to lock others out. However, using MS Office proprietary format, guarantees that all the current documents used by companies, organizations, institutions, etc, will be compatible with EuroOffice and the suite will have the best chances at adoption, especially by slow moving organizations like governments and the public sector. It is as simple as that. For the same reason, even the UI is incredibly similar to MS Office. For the same reason (adoption) the choice was made to be open source. Not because EU particularly loves open source ideologically, but because it gives the best starting point to create trust in the project and amass developers and contributions to the project quickly, to catch up with proprietary projects like MS Office. I don't understand how people don't realize it.
