This is definitely going to be the most exicting final weekend i can remember in baseball. All I know is my Mets clinched a .500 season so I'm good lol. Now I get to enjoy banbang023 stressing out like crazy while I just sit back and enjoy some quality baseball :yes:. Unforunately, I'm going to miss most of it because I'll be either at work or volunteering at church or doing homework. :angry: Well, I SHOULD miss most of it ;)

Who would have ever thought it after such a crappy season? There's a long, hard (sort of like me) road ahead of us. My nerves are shot just thinking about it.

Me, my wife and son were watching the game and all having near-breakdowns... It's just too nerve-wracking... and it's not even the playoffs yet :blink:

At least I know one thing: As long as I have Yankee baseball, I have an excuse to drink.

I wonder who they'll start tomorrow. I'm hoping they'll bring up a scrub and let everyone else rest. I'd probably rest most of the starters if I were Torre. Let the Sox trounce us, I don't care.

uh, you wanna look at the first part of that first statement a little closer? :rofl:

anyway congrats, i guess its somewhat ironic that after seeing the sox unfurl the 2004 WS banner, the yankees come back and get the AL east @ fenway. i still hope the only trophy that a-rod gets the rest of this year is AL MVP. :D

This is awesome. After all the Yankees went through this season, they really worked to earn this.

My suitemate in college is from Connecticut and is a diehard Red Sox fan, while I've been a Yankee fan for about the last 13 years (pretty much since I knew what baseball was). I made a two-tier bet with him.

I bet him that I would come back to school after this six-day Rosh Hashanah break wearing a Yankees AL East Champions shirt, and he told me the Yankees would be cleaning out their lockers in Yankee Stadium after this weekend is over, when I last saw him on Thursday afternoon. The second part of the bet, and my favorite part, was that the loser buys the winner drinks next time we go out to the bars in Albany. So all my drinks are on him next time. :D

hehe. The tension is over. As was mentioned by bangbang and myself earlier, who needs the Wild Card when you can win the division? :cool:

Can't wait to see what the postseason has in store. :)

I tell ya, I never thought they'd make it this year... but nevertheless congratulations to Joe Torre and his team :yes:

LMFAO. My son was gonna go out and buy me a bottle of Jack because I'm out.... Too bad he didn't :angry:

Ugh... With either Mussina or Wright starting today, I'd rather not even watch the game. Jeeze, let freakin Sheffield pitch.

Yankees.com says he's pitching.... :no:

That's fine. The game doesn't matter and he's been hit by flying objects three games in a row, so they need to get him out there to work throughthe injuries and to get over any remaining fear that the next pitch will also come back at him.

Kind of feel bad for Cleveland. I was pulling for them but not at the expense of the Red Sox. Ideally, I would've liked to see LA, Cleveland, Boston, and Chicago but lo and behold the Yanks are ****ing me off yet again :p

As for my Mets, I'll take it. I think they have a pretty solid infield for the next few years if they keep Jacobs up to add to Wright and Reyes. Pedro should be able to give us at least one more quality year and hopefully Beltran will have made his "NY adjustment" and get back to his 20-20-100-100 type seasons. That's HRs, SBs, RBIs, Rs. And amazing what Cliff Floyd can do when he stays healthy for a full season. I think next year's their year to make the run. If they don't get it done then it might be a while.

While I find this story amusing since I hate the Yankees even I understand that this just doesn't seem quite right. In the Texas-LAA game yesterday, Buck Showlater took out his three best players (Michael Young, Hank Blalock, and Mark Teixeira) after the third inning. I don't care what he says it sure as hell seems Showalter tried to throw the game as best he could. You had to take them out in the third inning to get them ovations? Seems a little fishy to me. It wound up costing the Yanks home-filed against the Angels. Anyway, here's the full story. Judge for yourselves.

"If we had won one more game, we wouldn't have to be worried about what anybody else did," Cashman told The Times.

EXACTLY.

those yankee babies need to mind their own business. texas can do whatever the hell they want for whatever reason they want.

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
