the first one ended up being exciting, but the sox game was a bore.  hopefully angels/yahnks will be better.

No, I want it to be a bore for all angels fans. You know, 21 - 0 Yankees after 3 innings.

Many say that Randy Johnson is gooing to pitch a big game for us tomorrow, hope thats true.

This is a little bit late, but isn't it a little frusterating that Jose Contreras pitched quite well agains't the red sox in a white sox uniform but not for us? Maybe I'm the only one....but at least he beat them!

I was thinking the same thing actually... but it could be the training he's getting from the White Sox is better then what he got from the Yankees. It could also be there isn't as much pressure on him from the White Sox has what there was from the Yankees.

Geesh Red Sox better pick it up a lil today, 14-2 isnt exactly a close loss :p. Wells is pitchin...so yea.

Some of the yankee fans were speculating that it was because of Posada and the pitching coach that Contreras did bad with us :whistle:.

The NY Pressure theory is the more legitimate one.

White Sox Sweep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great season so far. I really hope they can keep it up.

the reason for his success is because of the pitching coach Don Cooper. Spending two minutes watching Contreras pitch you can tell that Don Cooper got him to change his arm angle which makes his pitches come from different angles and he is more comfortable throwing strikes. He wasn't a pitcher that would throw strikes and now he is. With the nasty stuff he has throwing strikes was the key to getting hitters out.

    • The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing Microsoft Edge on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
