OK so since the season is less than one week away I figure try to get a survey going of who will win what this year. I'd put it in some kind of poll but there would be too many questions. So We'll do division winners, wild card, league champs, WS champs, league MVPS and league Cy Youngs.

AL East:

AL Central:

AL West:

AL Wild Card:

AL Champs:

AL MVP:

AL Cy Young:

NL East:

being a mets fan, i just have to inform you all that they will be winning the series this year

I'm a Mets fan too, but be realistic man. I'll be happy just making the playoffs. If they somehow win a series great but for me just making it would be an accomplishment in light of recent years.

AL East: boston

AL Central: cleveland

AL West: anaheim

AL Wild Card: yankees

AL Champs: yankees

AL MVP: A-rod

AL Cy Young: i'm not sure.

NL East: atlanta

NL Central: st. louis

NL West: san fran.

NL Wild Card: chicago

NL Champs: st.louis

NL MVP: albert pujols

NL Cy Young: roger clemens

WS Champs: st. louis

AL East: NY Yankees (i hate them !)

AL Central: Chicago White Sox (i hate them even more !)

AL West: L.A. Angles (still not used to their new name)

AL Wild Card: Boston

AL Champs: NY Yankees (I hope I'm wrong)

AL MVP: Alex Rod

AL Cy Young: No idea but a guess would be Randy Johnson

NL East: Florida (look out for them)

NL Central: Chicago Cubs (lots to prove & they will succeed)

NL West: SF Giant's

NL Wild Card: Philadelphia

NL Champs: Chicago Cubs

NL MVP: Aramis Ramirez or Nomar (probably Nomar)

NL Cy Young: Carlos Zambrano

WS Champs: Chicago Cubs ! 7 games & they win in NY against Randy Johnson with Aramis being MVP of series.

Cubs better sign Aramis Ramirez to an extension today, he'll be pretty pricey and well wanted after this year. He's not even on top of his game and will be the best 3rd baseman in MLB in a couple of years, offense & defense.

$%@#&*^ Mets' bullpen. Wasted a gem by Pedro. Gonna be the achilles heel all year unless they get some serious help. And Looper was the one who was supposed to have the LEAST questions marks out of that pen. Didn't record an OUT!! Just 14 PITCHES to blow the game. AAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!

Just had to let that out. And I'm a pessimist. Not giving up on the season or anything yet lol, but that was a brutal loss. And I know it's only one game but the Mets have no bullpen and it jsut concerns me seriously. I mean to see your big weakness exposed in game one that blatantly is worrying. And again, GETTING to Looper was supposed to be the real concern, he was supposed to be fine.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
