Got to love the RedSox/Yankees rivalry


Recommended Posts

I'm a Yankee fan and am scared of the Sox this year. Schilling is outright awesome and Wakefield always manages to own us. It's going to be a good series, but I have my doubts about the Yanks. They have no pitching what so ever, right now, and the Bosox have some really explosive hitters.

no team in mlb or nba history has EVER come back to win from 0-3.

I'm a HUGE Yankee fan! But I know that Boston is good and if they can get to a pitching staff early in the game, then they can come back and win. As much as I want the Yankees to win tonight and finish the series, I know that Boston is still very dangerous and can win those four games in a row. So, Boston isn't completely out of it just yet.

But then again, it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY :D

WOW, Nice Sig!!! :yes:

Anyway, I woke up this morning with biggest smile about last night.. And been reading news everywhere in website.. I kept looking at 19-8... Been wondering.. Can't believe about the score but something happened in mind and I'm like.. Holy Sh.t! 19-8? -> add one instead of hyphen -> 1918!! :woot: :rofl:

I still don't get these Boston fans saying it's all about the money. They have the second highest payrole, I believe.

they like to have it both ways, they love to tell yankee fans how much better their team is and then when they lose its because the yankees spend the most money

[soapbox]

yeah the red sox have the second highest payroll and if you ask me they have to if they want to compete with their biggest competition the yankees. otherwise they might as well save payroll and trade everyone off and be like the other teams in the division. they have small payrolls and are no where near them in the division.

i dont think its all about the money but its got a lot to do with it. i personally would rather all teams bring up and keep superstars instead of going out and buying up the talent and this INCLUDES the red sox. the yankees are easy to villify because they can buy anyone out on the free agent market and as that is within the rules, i think it keeps other teams wallowing in mediocrity like the royals or the devil rays. you can say its mismanagement of the teams but the royals knew that they couldnt keep beltran and traded him for something thats not mismanagment thats face the truth. every now and then u get your twins or ur marlins which i think are great for the soul of baseball. but when you see a team like the yankees ravage their farm system to trade/buy talent for the here and now, as within the system as trading/buying talent is, buying a championship not earning one. the red sox in a sense tried it too and it didnt work. next year, when pavano goes to the yankees for millions of dollars and beltran goes to the yankees for MILLIONS of dollars i wont be disgusted as a red sox fan, i'd just be disgusted as a baseball fan.

Exactly, the yanks' payrool is US$180mil and the Boston one is what? US$130mil? wtf are they complaining? :crazy:

if the red sox are complaining about the payroll then just tell them, "thats why your are the second best team in baseball." otherwise you people complaining about the red sox complaining just look silly. and let it be known i have NEVER complained and any true red sox fan wouldnt be complaining about payrolls.

As a guy who usually barely follows baseball and is usually entangled in hockey mania right now I would like to state my opinion from a perspective that is not biased. I am sick and tired about hearing how great this rivalry is. I was really excited that even though there is no hockey at the moment that I could enjoy this supposedly great match-up. Thus far this series has been AWEFUL. I kept hearing that this was the year the Sox would beat the Yanks but thus far it hasn't been close. When it comes down to it, in my opinion, this series has been subpar at most. Last night's monstrousity was an insult to what I call defense. Some of the running decisions made by the Sox base runners were comical. I was pretty ****ed when I heard that the baseball playoffs had put my favourite comedy shows on hold but hell now whenever I want a good laugh I just watch the BoSox play.

I only wish tonights game 4 was in the Bronx, so when the Sox get swept I could hear that perfect chant one last time, "WHO"S YOUR DADDY?!"

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
