  1. I am really starting to like this guy.
  2. I got to admit, this guy makes sense.
  3. Get mad all you want. Since you've been here you have done nothing but expect other people to do your work for you. There is a BIG difference between someone saying 'I've been searching for awhile for ..... and I can't seem to find it' or 'I've been trying to do .... and I have run into some trouble. Does anyone have any suggestions?' That is not you. You are 'will someone do this for me' and 'will someone find this for me' And you also continually use the shoutbox to ask your support questions even though (1) there is a header above it saying don't do it and (2) you've been asked many times before not to. My personal impression of you is that you are lazy and you are content to have others do your legwork. That will only get you so far around here because other people will pick up on that too and decide to ignore your pleas for help too. I have less patience compared to them so I beat them to the punch. One final thing: Don't tell that guy to shut up especially when he wasn't wrong. That isn't done around here
  4. I really have to say that's a hell of a post. It makes a lot of sense and it should be the standard for everyone who posts in here or makes threads. Unfortunately there are a lot of these type of people in here and since we are talking about the original poster here he is one of the people that make threads like this again and again. Another thing that bothers me about this guy (and I am sorry to use him as an example here) and others like him is that he wants you to do the work for him. Do we have ..... here? What is the link for.....??? Where can I find....??? We have a search feature here that can answer these questions but it is easier for them to have others do it. That is what annoys me just as much.
  5. Hahahahaha
  6. This is a golden age? How?
  7. I consider myself lucky that I saw baseball like that.
  8. If one of the voices in that video is familiar to Yankee fans it should be. That's the late Frank Messer who was a Yankee announcer for many years.
    Good work Gordo!
  9. Good question.
  10. Again,you assume. I can recall in the not so distant past where members here have sold their copy of the game in the 30 to 40 dollar price range. People do not sell their game here a lot but when they do there seems to be better deals here than anywhere else.
  11. Why don't you go and God damn search the forums for posts that I have made about what I thought about Clemens going to the Hall of Fame before just assuming something? And don't give me that crap that because they are Yankees it made it ok.
  12. No problem. That is how it's been since the first one in 2007. Same for the WBC mods too.
  13. What are you talking about? Just download the mod and when you install it it will give you the option to install the game in English and Spanish. Just like in all the other Caribe releases they have done in the past.
  14. That was my response to this: I didn't call HIM anything. I said it about anyone who wants to get these games for free or have someone upload it for them. And you knew damned well what I was talking about.
  15. So do I mcoll but this guy wants HH2004 for free. No excuse for that.
  16. Hahahahahaha!!! Yeah, but this guy still wants it for free. I got HH 2002, '03 and '04 on my XP laptop. Well worth the time playing them.
  17. That's still too much for these cheap SOB's.
  18. What the hell are you talking about? You were given the link for it. Get a job and go buy the damned game.
  19. Updated to 8-30 ...I wasn't too broken up when I found out that C.C. Sabathia could miss the rest of the season. With the way this guy has been pitching he hasn't done the Yankees any good yet and here we are almost at the end of August. He has won seven games for the Yankees in the past two seasons while making twenty-three million dollars each year. Talk about stealing money. The funny part of all this is that he is due for a two million dollar raise next year so maybe he can win five games next year. It's no secret the Yankees got hosed in this deal but they did it to themselves so no one's going to feel too bad for them. I sure as hell don't. The best thing that Sabathia can do for the Yankees as they head into this stretch run is to stay off the mound for them because every time he was pitching you never wondered if he was going to implode. It was always what inning he was going to do it in. ...I don't give a damn if the Yankees scored fifteen runs the other night. Their hitting lately has been terrible and I don't see it getting any better and when the season is over and they look back on it this time they can't blame Kevin Long. ...And the MLB waiver deadline expires tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if the Yankees make a minor move to replace Sabathia on the roster. Then again teams may think they are desperate and will try to take advantage of it. Just once I'd like to see teams trade with the Yankees like they deal with the Red Sox. Sure, we'll take whomever you want to give us. You guys take what you want. ...The YES Network at times leaves a lot to be desired in terms of programming and nothing says it more than their replay of Yankee Classics that they broadcast from time to time. I've had YES since they started in 2002 and I think I've seen every Yankee classic game and that's not that hard to do because they recycle the same ones over and over again. The no-hitter games (Righetti, Gooden, Wells and Cone) the Ron Guidry eighteen strikeout game, the 1978 playoff in Boston, opening day from 1996 against Kansas City when it snowed, etc, etc. Don't misunderstand me they were all great games to see again but enough is enough. You can't tell me that they can't come up with any other games than the handful they keep throwing out there. ...For me, when the calendar turns over into September that is as depressing as being stuck on the east coast in the middle of winter. September means summer is almost done and we can see the end of it. The same for baseball season. Wasn't it recently opening day? September means the return to school and even though I've been done with it for years now I still get that brief couple of seconds of dread when August is no more. September means I have to start looking for my warm coats again and the hope that I washed them before I put them away at the end of May. September means the return of pro football and that includes all the crazy fans who hang around sports bars who have to out-drink and scream louder than everyone just to prove that they like their team a lot more than you do. September means that the Christmas displays and ads are not that far away. September gets a bad rap and I may add a well-deserved one. ...A lion who lived in the same national park as the famed Cecil the Lion charged a walking safari tour last Monday and killed the safari guide who was in charge of it. The animal unexpectedly charged the photographic safari group and the guide managed to get everyone away to safety but the injuries he received from the lion proved to be too much and he died later in a local hospital. There's only one thing I don't quite understand here. This guided tour took place at the Hwange National Park, a park known for the home of some of the fastest and dangerous predators in the world. Why take a walking tour in a place like that? Your camera won't protect you if something really wants to get at you. ...Somewhere in Africa by now that lion walked back to his pride and told everyone there that he got revenge for Cecil and he was feeling pretty good about himself until someone told him that he got the wrong guy because this one wasn't a dentist. ...Madden 16 came out for the console users last Tuesday and based on the reviews I have read this game has once again made its usual disappointing impression on football fans everywhere. This year's new gimmick to make you shell out another sixty (and up) dollars is new passing controls for you to master. You can have your receiver go for an 'aggressive' catch where they try to make a spectacular catch, a 'possession' catch where they try to make the catch but at the same time playing it safe and finally a 'run after catch' which is a catch that as soon as it is made the receiver quickly turns upfield for more yardage, which by the way is something they should be doing on just about every catch they make. But, that's what EA is selling this year and people will buy it. If EA ever came out and said that the only thing they will be doing in next year's game is updating the roster people will still pre-order it. When you are the only game in town you make your own rules. ...Because two more fans were carried out on stretchers last week (one in Detroit and one at Wrigley Field in Chicago) after being hit by baseballs the talk about putting up nets that extend beyond both baselines was brought up again. I'm not sure what these two people were doing before they got hit by the ball but my guess would be that they were not watching the game. Let me give you an example of what I mean from a game I went to a few years ago. I was sitting in the box seats on the first base side and we had two close calls and they both happened in the early innings. Both times right-handed hitters were up and they swung late on a pitch and lined the ball foul into the first base stands. It made everyone scatter and luckily no one was hurt but another foot one way or the other it would have hit someone that wasn't paying attention to begin with. All around me people were on their cell phones talking to someone or checking their messages. One girl was reading a magazine and one kid brought his iPad. They could have easily been hit and they wouldn't have known about it until it was too late. I guarantee something like this happened to one or both of these people but they just were not as lucky as the ones I observed. There is enough time for you to use your phone if you want at a game. Just do it between innings or during a pitching change. When the game's going on you got to be aware of where you are. The problem is people don't pay attention that much anymore and that's on them. ...It's not many times that I agree with Curt Schilling but when the guy is right, he's right. He posted a graphic that compared "extremist Muslims" to the Nazi regime. All it said was that 'it's said that only 5-10% of Muslims are extremists' and it went on to say that 'in 1940 only 7% of Germans were Nazis. How'd that go?' What did he say that was so wrong? The point he was trying to make was that a very small percentage of the German people were able to take control of that country and lead it into war. You can compare this to the large number Muslims who have never been involved with ISIS and want nothing to do with them. But because this country is so politically correct Schilling immediately deleted his post and began apologizing because God forbid he offended a terrorist. ESPN punished Schilling by removing him from broadcasting the Little League World Series last week. They did it because, well, who knows? Maybe they didn't want any of their broadcasters having opinions that may offend a group of people even though that group is doing their best to destroy America. All Cris Carter had to do was give an on-air apology after he told the rookies in 2014 to get a fall guy that they can trust to take the blame if they get in trouble. That's all that happened to him but with Schilling they had to suspend him. Like him or not this is the reason why Donald Trump is so popular now because he says what is on the minds of many people out there because he has no fear of the PC watchdogs that have been controlling everything for a long time now. Hell, even Sarah Palin made sense when she defended him and attacked ESPN. The only thing Schilling did wrong here was not stand by his comments because he was 100% right. ...Because of two separate movie theater attacks this summer Regal Cinemas will begin checking bags in movie theaters. They admit that it will inconvenience many people (and it will) but it's easy to understand what they are trying to do. What I don't understand is with the exception of women's purses why would people bring in bags to a movie theater anyway? They can frisk me all they want but in the winter time I go to Walgreens to buy the movie theater candy there because it's a lot cheaper. As long as they don't take away my contraband Milk Duds I am good to go. ...The mayor of New York and the Governor of the State of New York may not agree on everything but they are unified when they say that women posing nearly naked for photos with tourists wearing only body paint and a thong in exchange for cash are breaking the law. With the exception of a Mormon family visiting from Utah who passed out from the shock no one has complained about the practice. ...Too little, too late, Dept: The NFL had plenty of time to elect Ken Stabler to the Hall of Fame before he died last month but they never got around to it. Last week the Pro Football Hall of Fame said that Stabler was one of the two senior nominees for induction and that could come as early as next year. Big deal. Stabler's last year in the league was in 1984 so they had plenty of time to give him this honor when he was still around. He played for Oakland when the Raiders were a team to be proud of and he deserved a lot better. ...There's a country called Uzbekistan (yeah, I never heard of it either) that has their own airline that is aptly named Uzbekistan Airways and either they have a lot of overweight people there or they are just trying to make a buck any way they can because besides the common practice of weighing a passenger's baggage they are now beginning to weigh the passengers themselves on upcoming trips. Lot of luck of that happening here because as soon as someone feels that they are charged for being too overweight you'll have another lawsuit to read about. Can you imagine if they did this with football teams? The only guys that would be considered underweight would be the kickers and punters. ...Walmart showed once again how they are always thinking of their customers when they announced that they would stop selling the AR-15 and other semi-automatic rifles in their stores. Big deal. If they actually thought about the safety of their customers they wouldn't have sold them there to begin with. ...There is an online petition going around to stop some retailers from selling Caitlyn Jenner Halloween costumes that feature a knock-off of the same white dress that he/she/he/she flip a coin wore on the Vanity Fair cover a few months back. The transgender community is protesting the sales of this because they say it promotes transphobia by reducing Jenner to a stereotype. Sorry, too late for that. As soon as she puckered her lips after applying lipstick for the first time all bets were off.
  20. You're right, that's how it has always been. I had a lot of roms and emulators that I got many years ago and I'm pretty sure I still have them somewhere. 8 bit Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Neo-Geo, etc. I got them from a long-gone dead website called Emux.com. I feel I can share that now because that website has been gone for many years now. Maybe some of you remember it? If EA thinks we are now turning the other way for this they could make things hard on us. They have lawyers and money. We don't. That's why we should never permit this. See my above response. Besides the downloaded/pirated version of this game is not as stable as the store purchased one. There are problems in the warez one that people who bought the game do not have.
  21. And you're not kidding either!
  22. Today one of our community members, DeuceBlades, lost his father suddenly. I would like to reach out to Deuce and his family during this time to lend my support and sympathy to them. We are a baseball community here and at the same time I like to think of us as a family too and I made this thread so you all can come in here to give your regards to Deuce and his entire family.
