Looks like we think alike man. I have been looking over some tutorials on how to utilize brushes as well. I was actually thinking of experimenting with it for my all-star festivities that I had mentioned to you about. I know that if done well, they could really improve the presentation. Good luck on the learning process. I am sure you will be dazzling us again with a new type of presentation. Hopefully I can give you some friendly competition eh? :wink: Take care.

Sounds good, redsox. I can't wait to see what you come up with for your All-Star update. It's still a month or so away in my dynasty, so I'm not going to even think about it yet.

And BTW, I've got all the competition I can handle just trying to keep Houston from running away with the Central. :horse:

The Astros have a strong team. Berkman was batting .460 through 10 games when I played them. He went like 3 for 18 in the series though with a home run. It was a moonshot though.

Actually, I had been so busy with the updates, 7 or 8 games went by and I hadn't even paid attention to the standings. I knew I was close behind them, but when I ran the SavReader to update my standings, they had pulled to about 5 or so games ahead of me.

I took a look at their team, and they don't have anything special that stands out. Jason lane is batting .296/13/55, and Berkman barely has 6 hr's. As a team they're batting .273, so the answer either lies in pitching or just pulling out the wins.

Either way, I hope they cool off soon. ;)

Better than Chase Utley in my dynasty. I can never seem to drive in runs other than home runs with him. I just can't pull through with men on base, like you said earlier in your dynasty. Utley has .230/7/9. Yeah. I need to start driving in some runs some other ways.

Same here, the LOB stat tells it all. :)

Not to hijack this thread but...

does anyone know where I can get a cheap copy of Photoshop?

I currently have a trial version and would like to get a full version, but it is crazy expensive.

Also, JR, can you send me the new template so I can have something to aspire towards.

Thanks

Other than the trial versions, probably the cheapest version out there is PS 7. I've seen it advertised for around $50, much cheaper than the newer versions, and really the way to go if you're just starting.

I can send the template, just need your addy. :)

I've seen that done down the foul lines, but that's the first time I've seen anyone lean OVER the fence in the outfield. Obviously most fences are higher, so it's not possible.

Cool stuff, though.

Here's a small PS tip for some of you guys that got the new template that I created. Most of you probably already know this, but for those who don't, this might help get some sort of 'variety' out of the template.

Pick a color (foreground)

Highlight the layer you want to change colors on

Hit alt+shift+delete to change that layer to your new color

You can see I changed the 'trim' from orange to blue in this example. Change one layer, 'copy layer style', choose the other layers and 'paste layer style'.

Hope this helps someone. :)

out of curiosity, where do you guys those oval logos? do you make them?

I don't remember where I got them stedfunk. Without checking, it's possible that they're in the download section here.

I am so ashamed of my Cubs right now... :violin:

I agree, it's pretty embarrassing for any organization. Hopefully this fires Lou up and he can turn things around.

I got mine from you JR. If you don't mind I will email them to stedfunk.

-- stedfunk, PM me your email address, and I will send them (With pemission of course!)

Sure thing phils. I just checked the downloads, and they aren't there. I honestly can't remember where I got them.
