  1. You should try eBay because there are always copies for sale there.
  2. Updated to 4-19 ...Derek Jeter and all the overhype that was associated with him are gone now but some Yankee fans don't want to let that go. Didi Gregorius had a tough first home stand in New York as he was booed by some of the idiots in the crowd every time he didn't get a hit (the captain would have!) or didn't make a play (the captain would have - no wait, he wouldn't have. But still... Yankee fans are supposed to be some of the most knowledgeable fans in the game but sometimes they seem to forget it. ...A group of University of Wisconsin students have completed a Rice Krispies cereal treat weighing more than 5-1/2 tons. Weighing in at over eleven thousand pounds they are hoping their work gets them into the Guinness World Records. Considering that they used 9,000 pounds of marshmallows, 5,500 pounds of Rice Krispies and 900 pounds of butter they had to be pleased with their results. That thing was so big that C.C. Sabathia and David Ortiz could both have as much as they wanted without fighting over the last piece. ...Welcome to the Family, Dept: An alligator that weighed four-hundred pounds was hauled out of a Southeast Texas pond because of complaints that it was being very aggressive to the kids there that wanted to swim there. You think? What the hell were those kids thinking? If I knew there was an alligator in the pond I was going to be jumping in I'd be looking for the nearest swimming pool. The alligator was captured and transferred to a preserve with over four hundred alligators that serves as a tourist attraction. What the hell are these people trying to preserve? Shoot these bastards. Just imagine if someone forgot to shut the gate just once. They'd have a tourist buffet. ...Last Friday New York City firefighters spent hours trying to get a seven-hundred pound man from his sixth-floor apartment into an ambulance because he was having difficulty breathing. They had to use a rope-and-pulley system to get him down all six floors and it took ten fire fighters to lift him up into the ambulance. By that time they all must have been praying for a fire. They had to do this because neighbors of the man said he was unable to walk because of leg problems and it was the second time in a matter of months that firefighters had to remove him from the building this way. What I want to know is after he gets out of the hospital how is he going to get back up those six flights of stairs? When that day comes that will probably be the time those guys really pray for a fire. ...Some rapper named Kelly or is it Nelly was pulled over by the Tennessee Highway Patrol (they must have loved that down there) and arrested after they found five rocks that tested positive for meth, as well as a small amount of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a few guns on a bus that he was on. So it was obvious that he was busy during this little road trip. Naturally Nelly told the police that all that illegal material was not his and he wasn't associated with it. Why would he lie? I'm sure all that stuff is standard issue for every tour bus. ...Practice does not make perfect, Dept: After serving six years in jail for robbing a bank back in 1999 a forty-seven-year-old Cleveland man was arrested last week for attempting to rob the same bank again. He probably figured that with after six years of in-house training from the experts in jail he could pull it off this time. Apparently those stories about people learning how to be better people while in prison are a bit overdone. ...Sometimes when a crime is committed you can sometimes understand why they did it even though you'd never consider doing the same thing yourself. Take for example someone knocking off a jewelry store. He's probably got diamonds or expensive watches on his mind. Again, something nice to have but I wouldn't take that road to obtain them. Or when someone robs a bank. Willie Sutton, the famous bank robber once said when someone asked him why he robbed banks that "that is where the money is." Yes it is but when I go to my bank I only withdraw what is mine. I'm honest and besides, where am I going with two bad knees? They'd be on me before I got to my car. So now maybe you can understand my reaction when I heard about the theft of $70,000 worth of bull semen from a farm in Minnesota. What the hell are you going to do that and that much of it besides? Now the farmer has to build up his stock all over again. I'm sure the bull won't mind at all. ...Right before Easter a woman from Oregon went into Walmart to purchase a gift for her child and she thought she found the perfect one in the clearance section for her. When she brought the toy home and started to assemble it she discovered that some parts were missing and when she looked in the box to see if they were there she found three bags of marijuana stuffed inside the bottom of the box. Presumably that was for the kid when she got a little bit older. That's what I like about Walmart. You can get anything there. ...Not in Kansas anymore, Dept: The state of Kansas is preparing to pass a bill that would stop recipients that receive welfare to stop them from using the money they get to pay for such things as psychics, tattoos, massages, spas and cruises, just to name some examples. In other words spend your welfare money on food for your family. You want those things? Pick up the want-ads. The only way I'll get to go on a cruise is if I go on welfare and that won't be happening any time soon. This makes so much sense that I wonder why every state in the union doesn't follow it. ...Last Monday Kim Kardashian and Kanye West dragged their kid to Isreal to have her baptized in a ceremony at the historic Cathedral of St. James in Jerusalem which is right near where Jesus himself was baptized. The Kardashians must have paid off somebody pretty well to do this because when you think of families with good Christian values these people aren't even close. ...Maybe it is because I am not on Facebook or social media but I do not understand why people feel the need to take pictures of what they are eating and post them for everyone to see. I know exactly what a steak looks like or a hot dog covered with all the fixings. I don't need to see yours. Enjoy it and keep it to yourself. ...If they don't do anything else during this off-season for the NFL at least the Cleveland Browns can tell their fans they put all their efforts into the new uniforms they will be wearing when the season starts in September. It would have been nice if they could have managed to put some decent players in them at the same time but Browns fans are used to not having that. ...The world according to Curtis, Dept: Jackie Robinson day came and went last week and all the recognition and remembrance of who Robinson was as a player and mostly as a man was covered in detail all day on the MLB Network and rightfully so. Curtis Granderson used that day to complain about what he sees is a big problem in baseball, namely that there is a shortage of black players in the game today. Not too long ago C.C. Sabathia was crying about the same thing. He's another ****ing moron if you ask me. And Granderson is just as bad. If these two would have opened their eyes instead of their mouths they would see that baseball is more racially diverse than the two other most popular sports in this country, football and basketball. There are white players, black players and Hispanic and Asian players and just a quick glance at the rosters would have told them that. There's a reason why nothing happens and the media doesn't make a big thing about it when someone brings this up and talks about it like it was the first time they ever noticed it. It's because they have no grounds to stand on. No one is keeping black people out of the game except for black people themselves. If a black kid wants to try out for his high school baseball team he can. No questions asked. And if he's good enough he makes the team. The coach isn't going to tell him to get lost and go pick up a basketball. That kid I am talking about has every opportunity as everyone else but if they do not want to play baseball and have no interest in it because they like something else better than it is their choice and all the whining and crying by people like Sabathia and Granderson can't do anything about it. But he wasn't done. He must have had a lot of time off last week. Granderson also said that Little League player Mo'ne Davis should be compensated to help pay for her college education since she is a "person of color" because people want to see her and talk to her because of everything she did in last year's Little League World Series. I love it when people who have millions of dollars in the bank try to get other people to foot the bill for something that they should not be required to do. This guy made sixteen million dollars last year for hitting .227 and he's going to get another sixteen million this year. If he is really that concerned about her education one check from him would fix everything in a hurry. ...April 15th was tax day in this country, the deadline for filing Income Tax Returns to the federal government. That's one thing Aaron Hernandez will not have to worry about ever again because a jury decided that he will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole because he was found guilty of murder in the first degree for the 2013 shooting death of Odin Lloyd. Like him or not that is a tough thing for anyone to be facing especially when that person is only twenty-five-years-old. Pretty soon he won't even be mentioned in the press anymore and will become a distant memory unless he does something noteworthy in prison. He'll be going to a fairly new one that's about forty miles outside of Boston and as a maximum-security prison goes it is not a good one. 90% of the population there are locked in their cells for nineteen hours day. That's something that I can't even imagine. Here's someone who would have earned another Super Bowl ring back in February had his life taken a different turn. Now the only uniform he'll have for the rest of his life is a prison one. Talk about the quintessential example of throwing it all away. ...ESPN suspended reporter Britt McHenry for one week after a video of her insulting a towing company clerk was posted online as she commented on the woman's job, education, teeth, and weight while reminding her that she has a college education and is on television. I don't know if she is a good reporter or not because I don't watch ESPN but just from the look of her I can tell why she was hired by them to be in front of the camera. She's tall and good looking with long blonde hair and she knows how to fill out a dress very well. That right there tells me all I need to know about how she got her job and how she's going to keep it. She's already brought out the worn and tired I-regret-my-actions statement and she'll put a sad face on the next time she's on camera and that's all ESPN really cares about. That, along with higher ratings all around and shorter dresses for reporters who look like her.
  3. ​ Thank you. I forgot he did that.
  4. Carl Yastrzemski It's not easy following in Ted Williams' footsteps, but that's exactly what Carl Yastrzemski had to do as a rookie for Boston in 1961. Williams' final season was in 1960 and Yaz stepped right in as a 20-year-old rookie in 1961. Yastrzemski was raised in Southhampton, N.Y. by Polish parents on a family potato farm. He briefly attended Notre Dame on a basketball scholarship before signing a professional baseball contract for $100,000. Originally a second baseman in the minors, Yaz moved to left field when Williams vacated the spot for the 1961 season. He was solid but unspectacular in his first two seasons, but really broke out in 1963 when he made his first all-star game and led the league with a .321 batting average. Yastrzemski was well-known for his batting stance, in which he held his bat high in the air, giving his swing a large, dramatic arc, and more power at the plate. However, in his later years, he adjusted his stance and held the bat lower. He was also known for modifying his batting helmets by enlarging the right ear hole for comfort and removing part of the right ear flap for better vision of the ball as it was being pitched. Yastrzemski spent his entire 23-year career in Boston, where he was a 18-time all-star and seven-time Gold Glove winner. In 1967, he won the American League Triple Crown, becoming just the 16th player to lead his respective league in batting average, home runs and RBIs. Yaz was named the American League MVP that year as well and, as of 2010, no player has been a Triple Crown winner since. Yastrzemski led the league in hitting three times during his career and hit for the cycle once, on May 14, 1965. In 1979, Yastrzemski became first American League player to record more than 3,000 hits and more than 400 home runs. "I'm very pleased and very proud of my accomplishments, but I'm most proud of that," Yastrzemski said. "Not (Ted) Williams, not (Lou) Gehrig, not (Joe) DiMaggio did that. They were Cadillacs and I'm a Chevrolet." Yastrzemski retired after the 1983 season and was inducted into the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of America in 1989.
  5. ​ Dylan has not been around here in awhile.
  6. The website is still getting upgraded as we speak so there are still some new things that we are going to see in the days ahead but here is something I stumbled on by accident when I was looking at Trues' profile. You can change your cover photo on your profile very easy if you would like. All you have to do is upload a photo and that's that. You can even re-position it too. Let me show you where to go to do this: Here's KC's little corner of the world. He has the default colors right now and just click where the arrow is to change it and that is where you can upload your photo. Now take a look at mine. I had the default black background too but I changed it and it looks so much nicer now. Thank you Trues!

    ​Not at all. You just happened to join up at the same time that a major website upgrade was going on.

    You got to wait right now. The download area is currently disabled due to the website upgrade.
  9. The website right now is having the software upgraded so you have to be patient.
  10. I will stick around my computer for the next hour or so just in case. Now what I am seeing on my end is one thread open for use, a light grey exterior background and the posting area is white. I also received a notification that you responded in this thread.
  11. Let me know via e-mail if I can help in any way.
  12. I believed you right up until that last sentence.
  13. How the hell did he know where you live?
  14. Quite alright. Things happen. And thank you for mercy.
  15. Check the download section!
  16. My dog is outside and won't come in. Thank you Mr. Rodriguez!
  17. Why I oughta..... With a name like Vader you tend to let things slide a little. But yeah, there's a thread already and to answer your question you will be able to play the mod once it is packaged and released. P.S. Sorry for the vote down. I tried to click on something else. I even vote down myself at times. Don't choke me.
  18. Really! I had to step back for a second. The thing is though GoRedSox was right. Rodriguez gets blamed for everything. If it rains it's his fault. If the grocery store runs out of milk it's his fault.
  19. Alex Rodriguez gets nothing but bad luck. I mean here he is minding his own business and he gets dragged into this.
  20. This I got to see. I'm anxious too for the first PC impressions.
  21. Looks wonderful! Another great job Rising Sun!
  22. Not at all but if you are just starting out it could be a little overwhelming because there are so many mods. What I recommend to anyone who downloads a mod is to back up the file they are replacing first and always follow the directions that the modder has included in the mod. You will need the PC version of the game to get these mods here. The PS2 game is practically useless now because it hasn't had any attention for so long.
  23. Well there are Playstation 2 mods here but there's not many of them and no one has uploaded a mod for them for a few years. So to answer your question, yes the game can be modded for the PS2 just based on that. Trouble is no one has been doing it and I would not know how to go about it. And there are no Gamecube mods for this game here. There's never been one for that.
