Yankee4Life replied to CutterTML's topic in MVP Baseball 2005
Why are you making it harder on yourself than it should be? Upload your videos to youtube and put the links in here. That's it. It's not against the rules. -

Do you see any videos posted in this thread? I am talking about people posting Mvp videos on youtube. They are all over the place. -

Of course not. There are already a lot of videos on Youtube about this game. I have even seen people post full games too. Post your links after you upload them. -

Updated to 6-14 ...I was someone who had no problem with the year-long suspension that was given to Alex Rodriguez. He stayed away all of last year and did his time and ever since the first day of spring training back in February he has been nothing but a baseball player focused on doing his job. Many members of the media aren't too happy about this because it makes their job harder when he is not providing them with anything noteworthy to write about and from what I have seen they have tried. As easy it was for people to cheer on Derek Jeter that is how easy it is to boo Alex Rodriguez. Not everything that Jeter did in his career was worthy of a standing ovation just like everything Rodriguez has done should be booed and hated on. The Yankees so far have not paid him for his 660th home run. He just broke an RBI record the other week and before this month is out he will have his 3,000th hit. These are milestones he deserves to celebrate. No, he's not Derek Jeter. He's Alex Rodriguez. Jeter was so bad in his final season that if A-Rod didn't play another game for the rest of this year he would have already had a better year than Captain twenty million did last year. ...Great, Andrew Miller is gone for a month just when we got Tanaka back. You just can't keep pitchers healthy. ...Even though the Tigers sent Shane Greene (4-6 with a 5.82 ERA in 13 games) to Triple A Toledo last week I still regret the Yankees trading him last year. ...I wonder how the Cubs fans feel about Jon Lester now after they dished out all that money for his 4 - 5 record and 4.25 ERA? ...Yesterday afternoon I went to see Jurassic World in 3D. If you have any intentions on seeing that movie I suggest you see it in 3D because nothing else would do it justice. You can keep on reading this because I am not going to bring up any points that will spoil the movie for you in any way. But there is one thing I have to bring up and I promise it won't spoil it for you that just had me wondering. There's this redhead in it by the name of Bryce Dallas Howard (never heard of her) and she has some kind of executive position at the park. At one point she is out there running from the dinosaurs and she is doing it in high heels. Adrenalin must have took over because she was flying. The movie is about two and one half hours long. There were two things that I thought of when I was leaving the Sony Theater yesterday. First, when this movie is released on blu-ray I am getting a copy and if there was ever a real Jurassic Park out there I would never go there. ...A strip club in Las Vegas is trying something new to attract new dancers and strippers to their business by sending out advertisements to encourage recent 2015 high school graduates to apply for a job there, saying that stripping will help them earn money for college. The owner of the club states that a girl can make up to one thousand dollars a night. That alone will probably get some girls to work there even though I doubt when it is time for them to apply to a college it won't look so good on their application letter that they worked there. ...I'd like to be a fly on the wall just to see the father's reaction when his daughter comes home right after her graduation and says to him "Daddy, I got a job." ...My first reaction to finding out that Tiger Woods shot a career-worst 13-over 85 at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio was that he's done. Injuries, personal problems and the inability to hold on to hot-looking blondes have finally took a toll on him. ...The CEO of Dunkin' Donuts said last week that the company is developing a mobile ordering platform to deliver coffee and donut orders to customer's homes and offices. They are doing this because in the northwest where Starbucks is king, they are testing a delivery service via a smart phone app. If Dunkin' Donuts ever ends up doing this any chance of C.C. Sabathia finishing his career with the Yankees and fitting into his uniform are slim and none. ...What am I laughing at? If Krispy Kreme ever did this I would be tempted. When we had a Krispy Kreme in my city I went there once and I couldn't get out of there fast enough. They were giving away free glazed donuts and those little things were the best I ever had in my entire life. Krispy Kreme was only here for a couple years but I never once went back. They were just too damn good. ...The Brooklyn Museum is gave Miss Piggy (yeah, the Muppet) a feminist award for her many "contributions to society" last Thursday. Really? What the hell did she ever do except chase a little green frog all over the place? Makes me wonder what real feminists think of this. This must be driving someone like Rosie O'Donnell nuts. She lives for stuff like this. ..This past week I started watching a TV series called Bomb Girls that aired for two seasons in 2012 and 2013. It's a show about women working in a bomb factory during the start of World War II. I like movies and shows based around this time but I never heard of this one because it aired on Canadian television. This show is available to view online but only for Canadian viewers. Meg Tilly is the star of the show and there's a looker named Jodi Balfour that will make you want to tune into each episode as quickly as you finish the previous one. ...Calling themselves a "socialist fairyland" North Korea is actively trying to get people from all over the world to come and visit their country to show everyone that they aren't as bad as all those people that they hold captive say they are. The way I see it getting into the country won't be that hard. All you need is a passport, the money and no common sense. Getting out of there could be harder. God forbid you jay-walk or commit other crimes against the state when you're there. ...Proving that Americans are not the only people who file idiotic lawsuits, a man in China is suing actress Zhao Wei for staring at him too intensely through his television set and therefore causing as he put it, "spiritual damage." This lawsuit is so stupid that it makes the one where the lady sued McDonalds for giving her hot coffee look smart. But I am going to pay attention to this anyway because if this guy wins I immediately plan on suing Kate Upton because each time I look at her chest my eyes bug out. ...I have always liked Jerry Seinfeld and that includes his stand-up act and his TV show. I like him because he is a genuinely funny guy and he doesn't take himself too seriously. My respect for him went way up last week after I listened to him explain in a radio interview why he does not want to do any of his shows at colleges anymore. He said that they were too politically correct and are too quick to find certain topics offensive. And he's right. Most college kids today are a bunch of self-involved hyper-sensitive whiners that can get offended over everything. Not everything that is said has offensive or racial overtones in it. Sometimes it's just humor as it is meant to be. That's why I don't blame him for what he said. I'm sure he'd rather do a show in front of people who aren't so full of themselves. ...It takes nerve these days just to express your opinion when you know it will not be received well by the outspoken minority of people who overturn rocks looking to be offended. ESPN announced that Bruce/Caitlyn/Whatever Jenner will receive the 2015 Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYS next month. Bob Costas, who has no problem calling things as he sees them, said that ESPN is only giving Jenner that award as a "tabloid move" that was only meant to generate ratings for them and that if ESPN really wanted to they could have found someone who was much closer and actively involved in sports that would have been deserving of what that award represents. Which does make sense if you think about it because Jenner won his Olympic awards back in 1976 and has been cashing in on them ever since. I commend Costas for having the guts to say what most people would be afraid to say. ...Well, I never thought I would see this happen and in a way I was lucky to come across it. A young black woman (age twenty-two) was fired from her job at a zoo in Chicago after she complained on Facebook of serving "rude ass white people" who would call her names, throw items at her and steal food from her cart and that it wasn't worth the $8.55 an hour to put up with treatment like that. When the zoo found out what she did they immediately fired her because people were threatening never to come back as long as she was there. The zoo even told those customers who called in about her post that they were welcome to go to other vendors and steal from them but they still wanted this girl gone. Like I said I was lucky to come across this because CNN didn't cover this and this is the kind of crap that they are all over. Racism! Injustice! Facebook! The only thing this story needed was a Kardashian in it and it would have been national news. I have no compassion for this girl because if she thinks she is supposed to be treated differently than anyone else who work with the general public then she's crazy. If she is going to have jobs like the one she had for the rest of her life then she is going to have to realize that you are going to come across people who are miserable because they enjoy being that way and there is nothing you can do to make them happy. But when you are like her, under twenty-five, you feel entitled and these kind of things should not happen to you. Well, they're not now. You're out of a job. Enjoy your 100% pay cut. ...If there is any indication of why soccer is and always will be considered a second-class sport in this country just look at Hope Solo, the star goalkeeper for the women's team. She has enough domestic violence abuse charges against her to make any NFL player proud and yet with the exception of one United States Senator who questioned why she was still allowed out on the field this weekend against Sweden, no one is saying a word about it. The woman's got a right hook and a hot temper equal to Ray Rice but unlike Rice no one has gone on TV calling for her head. Adrian Peterson has to be wondering what the hell's going on here too. And the reason is more people here in the U.S. care about football than soccer. If the NFL didn't do anything to those guys they'd lose sponsors and there was already a lot of racket about how they handled it when it first happened. With Solo? An article here and there and that was it. It was only soccer after all. ...Last Tuesday a bounty hunter accidentally (I think) shot and killed country singer Randy Howard at his Tennessee home when he was trying to bring him in on a warrant charging him with fourth-offense DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and driving on a revoked license. With all that going on I'm surprised Howard found time to sing. The reason why I said I wasn't sure it was an accident because it happened in Tennessee. If a bounty hunter wouldn't have done this it would have been someone else. -
Go into the game and pick the Oakland Coliseum and take a screenshot so we can see what you mean in here. If it says "missing" it could be missing a texture.

Enjoy yourself, have plenty to read on the flight and don't go in the water (sharks).

Random Thoughts On A Sunday Morning Updated To 11-24
Yankee4Life replied to Yankee4Life's topic in Left Field (Off-Topic)
Updated to 6-7 ...Last week a Danish radio host killed a baby rabbit by hitting it with a bicycle pump while live on the air because he wanted to show the hypocrisy of animal lovers. Talk about being a real shock-jock. The guy's point was that the people that say they are concerned about animal welfare are the same people who are not concerned about how animals are killed for their dining room tables. You know something? Maybe the man has a point here but I think I would have found another way to say it without killing a bunny. ...A thirty-five foot deep and eighty-foot wide sinkhole opened up on a Missouri golf course last week and while thankfully no one was hurt it did not stop a whole bunch of golfers from getting mad just the same. That's because none of them couldn't agree where to play the ball if it landed in there because none of them wanted to go in there to try to hit it out. ...On Michael Kay's radio show last Monday they were talking about Robinson Cano and his apparent unhappiness in playing in Seattle and if any of what they were talking about is true then as lazy as Cano is it in no way compares to how dumb he is. He's upset because there is a lack of a Dominican population in Seattle and because Seattle is located in the upper northwest of the United States their chartered plane rides are longer than any other team in the league. Don't you think he would have known this before signing that contract? I mean what did Jay-Z do, bring in a couple of dozen Dominicans and let them loose in Seattle just to give Cano the impression that he wasn't alone there. And he spent nine years as a member of the Yankees. He should have known how long the flights were to get to and leave the city of Seattle. What did he think, the planes were faster for the home team? Can you imagine how good this guy would be if he had a brain? ...This is kind of hard to believe but when the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars play in London on October 25th the game is going to be globally streamed for free live on Yahoo. Maybe that's a little unfair because the NFL is not as cheap as major league baseball. They just get the worst headlines. Something like this would have been a good idea when baseball's opening series was played in Australia in March but if the fans are in line to get something free baseball will find a way to charge them for it. ...At least Josh Hamilton gave the Rangers one good week. He sat out last week for what the team is calling “tightness in his lower half.” That's what happens when you try to lift up four pitchers of beer at the same time. ...The family of the victim who was fatally shot by members of Boston's Joint Terrorism Task Force last week are upset because they opened fire on him. What else did they think would happen when the guy kept on coming at the police with the knife in his hand and wouldn't drop it even though he was told to over and over again? The Boston police aren't playing around. They're still upset at what those two Muslim brothers did to the Boston Marathon a couple of years ago and if anyone thought they were going to negotiate with another one of these animals has another think coming. ...Either they did not read the papers or they did not care but voters in Pittsburgh voted in a councilwoman who died earlier last month over her opponent who as of this writing is still currently alive. This woman was so good at her job that the voters thought she could do a better job six feet under than the other woman that ran against her. I just hope no one expects her to make a speech any time soon. ...Johnny Manziel was staying in a Dallas hotel last week for a golf tournament when an eighteen-year-old fan started harassing him. It was obvious that he was a Browns fan because no other fans in the NFL hate Manziel more than Cleveland fans and the only way they'll consider letting up on him is if the Browns manage to dump him off on someone dumber than they are and there is little chance of that happening since Buffalo seems set at quarterback right now. The guy wouldn't let up on his comments about him and Manziel finally heard enough and hurled a water bottle at him. At least he tried. Before he got the pass off he was tackled by one of the hotel's staff for a loss. No matter where he goes he can't get protection. ...A lawyer from Kenya has offered President Obama fifty cows, seventy sheep and thirty goats in exchange for his sixteen-year-old daughter Malia's hand in marriage. Really, what is this guy thinking? Where are you going to house all those animals at the White House? I hope this guy has a back-up plan because the only way he's going to get Malia in his house is if he downloads a picture of her from the internet. ...Now if this same guy was interested in Kendall or Kylie Jenner he could have had either one of them and saved all his livestock for himself. All he would have had to agree on was to let Kris Jenner film the wedding for their reality show and he would have been all set. ..BINGO in Florida for senior citizens is very important. It's really all they do. It's not like they can spend their time going to Rays or Marlins games because when you get to be that age you tend to nod off easily and you don't want to risk having a ball hit you. That's why Bingo parlors are jam-packed. One day last week an eighty-two-year-old man went to try his luck at winning some money and when he got to the Bingo hall he found that his favorite seat was already occupied by an eighty-eight-year-old woman and what's worse is that she had no plans on giving it up any time soon. The guy then stormed out of the place and proceeded to grab an ice pick where he then punctured all four tires of the woman's car. The younger senior citizen was arrested for criminal mischief and was later freed on a five hundred dollar bond. When the judge asked him why he did what he did the guy replied that he "didn't like pushy old people." ...I have no sympathy at all for the Muslim woman who was denied an unopened can of Diet Coke on a United Airlines flight. The woman complained that for hygienic reasons she wanted an unopened can but was told that she could not have one but later on saw a flight attendant hand an unopened can of beer to another passenger. When she saw that she asked why she wasn't allowed to have her opened can and she said she was told that unopened cans could be used as weapons on the plane. At least that's what she said she was told. Wether she was or not is irrelevant. I'll be more compassionate towards the feelings of Muslims once they stop slaughtering people around them. ...Appearances are deceiving, Dept: An animal control worker in Michigan was called to a home because of a report that a tiger was on the driveway of a vacant home. Sure enough, when he arrived there it was. So he grabbed a pole and a shield for himself and called the police for backup. Had he looked closer he would have found that he could have saved himself a call because the tiger, although very life-like, was only a stuffed animal. That meant when the police arrived they did not have to shoot it. He may be a little embarrassed at what happened but at the same time he should consider himself lucky because if a tiger wants to get at you a pole and a shield is only going to temporarily stop it. When I first moved in my house back in 1996 the neighbors across the way from me had a ceramic black Labrador retriever on their porch for reasons known only to themselves. That damned thing looked life-like too and it had me fooled for awhile until I noticed after a period of time that it never moved once from where it was. Finally I asked our mailman about it and he told me that the dog statue has been there for as long as he was doing his route and that the people got it at a flea market. Well, some years went by and the same mailman took a few weeks off in the summer and we had a substitute carrier when he was gone. When he came back from his vacation he told me that the guy who did his route while he was gone did not deliver any mail to that house during his first week off because he thought the people had their dog loose on the porch. ...I bet that three hundred pound pitcher from Lewis-Clark State in Florida would not mind wearing those old wool uniforms while out on the mound because at least those make you look a little bit better then those double-knit polyester ones. But you know what? The guy's doing the job and is having fun playing ball. Can't fault him for that. ...Memo to the Boston Red Sox: Junior Lake of the Cubs hit a home run against the Marlins and as he was rounding third base he gestured to the Miami dugout and put his finger to his lips for them to be quiet. Never mind that the Cubs were still losing by four runs at the time, he still did it. Now that's the kind of player you want on your team. He'd fit right in with Hanley Ramirez and Mookie Betts. ...If you have not seen the picture of Bruce Jenner dressed as a woman on the July cover of Vanity Fair and calling himself Caitlyn Jenner you're going to have to do your own search for it because there's no way I am posting it here. The magazine is not even out yet but the media is already scouring posts and tweets for anything they think is controversial about it and Drake Bell is the first guy they set their sights on. Bell, after looking at Jenner's picture tweeted "Sorry, still calling you Bruce." No more, no less. That was it. But it was enough for the PC police to label what he wrote as "transphobic" and while I am not sure exactly what that means it was enough for Bell to quickly delete what he wrote. I don't blame him. You get those people after you and they don't let up. That is why I don't believe for one minute all the people that say they support him in what he's doing. You got to wonder how many have said it just to have the media leave them alone. Gone are the days of free and honest opinions. And it happened right in front of our eyes. ...By the way I am still calling the SOB Bruce too. ...I had a free trial of Hulu last month so I was watching some shows that I haven't seen in years. Some of you may remember a show called Good Times and some of you may not. It was only on about five years and towards the end of the show's run a young Janet Jackson was one of the regulars on it. Anyways, there's a point to this. After watching a couple of episodes I began to notice that the late Esther Rolle, who played the mother on the show, looked like David Ortiz. Proof? Here you go. Oh hell yeah. -
Ron Guidry Although Ron Guidry won over 20 games three times in his career, he is remembered for having one of the greatest single seasons ever. He was 25-3 with a 1.74 ERA in 1978, won the Cy Young award unanimously, and finished second to Boston's Jim Rice in AL MVP voting. Guidry set club records that year in strikeouts (248) and consecutive wins at the start of a season (13). He called his Yankee-record 18 strikeouts against California on June 17 of that season "perhaps my greatest single thrill." He started the AL East playoff game on October 2, 1978 against Boston and won 5-4 in what was "probably the most tension-packed game I ever played in." Guidry was named TSN Player of the Year and Man of the Year and the Associated Press 's Male Athlete of the Year, and he made every all-star team. His nine shutouts tied Babe Ruth's AL record for a lefthander. During the 1970s, Yankee management made a policy of acquiring pitchers through trades and free agent signings. As a result, Guidry did not find a regular place in the Yankee rotation until 1977, when he was 26 years old. Even then, there were those who felt that the 5'11" 160-lb lefty was too small to pitch effectively and last in the major leagues. Guidry dispelled the notion by going 16-7 that year and perfecting the wicked slider that became his bread and butter pitch. He went on to lead the majors in victories from 1977 through 1987 with 168, posting records of 18-8 (1979), 21-9 (1983), and 22-6 (1985). He is fourth on the all-time Yankee victory list (170), second in strikeouts (1,778), sixth in games and innings, and tied for sixth in shutouts (26). Guidry compiled a 5-2 postseason record, 3-1 in World Series play. Guidry's success and durability were attributable in part to the fact that he was an outstanding athlete. He won five straight Gold Glove awards (1982-1986) and was twice used briefly in the outfield. Guidry was slow to recover from elbow surgery following the 1988 season, and he started 1989 on the disabled list before beginning a rehabilitation assignment in June at Triple-A. When he didn't impress the Yankee management with his performance at Columbus, he retired from baseball on July 12, 1989.

Ketchup vs. Mustard on a Hot Dog
Yankee4Life replied to Kccitystar's topic in Left Field (Off-Topic)
This thread has gone completely off topic from what it was supposed to be about. -
No, this is a new one on me.
-
So what? That doesn't mean a thing. All that means is that the last post was a few months back. All threads are still open unless they are locked and when they are locked that means you can't post in them. There's not a lot of threads like that though. Anyway, don't worry about it. This is not a huge problem. From now on you'll know to post your request/question/comment in one thread. No big deal.
-
There was no reason to make this request in two different threads.
-
Kershaw's face looks exactly the way it was after he gave up that home run to Madison Bumgarner.
-
You install this patch with TiT. Install in the same directory as Mvp 15.
-
That's right. I'm not going to guess. Since he's brand new he could be talking about any mod. He could be talking about installing Mvp 15 or some new portraits or stadiums or whatever. Or he could be talking about the EA patches. I don't know. That's why I said I am not going to spend any time guessing to what he wants until he gets back here. Can you understand this or should I try to look for a funny picture to include in my post to get my point across? I don't mind helping the guy but I want to know what I am helping him with first. And by the way since he posted this in the Mvp area there's a good chance he is not talking about 2k12 here.
-
You guys are assuming that is what he is talking about but until he gets back here we won't know and I am not going to spend any time guessing.
-
Patch mods? What are you talking about? And you don't provide any information on what mod or mods you are having a hard time with so it makes it impossible to guess what you mean.
-
Thank you to MarlinsMY and BigRog for answering the question.
-
Are there classic stadiums in 2k12?
-
The guy's been working on this for years now. When he's done, he's done.
-
The Asian community has made some great mods. I'm talking about the ones I use for Mvp. They made an Asian baseball mod last year that is a blast to play. I think I play it as much as Mvp 15. Years ago they made another Asian mod that is not hosted here anymore and there are a lot of good mods for Mvp that are made by the Asian guys. That's what I was trying to say this morning. Look at it this way. All you guys are going to be doing is downloading a mod that you probably already have installed on your 2k12 game. It will be your work, scottybilly's, etc, etc. all rolled into one and packaged differently and when you open it up it will be nothing that you haven't seen before.
-
What in the world are you talking about?
-
This isn't the first time these guys have pulled something like this either. No it's not hard. When they try to pull something like this you don't approve the mod and you tell them why you are not approving the mod right away. Don't hold their God damned hand and hope they don't get mad. They've done this stuff before in the past when they stole stuff from Mvp modders and the 2k modders. Is there a bit of language barrier? Sure there is, just like with the Caribe guys. And let's not forget that the Caribe guys took a lot of the stuff the modders made here and claimed it as their own. But nothing as blatant as what this Korean group does. And there is no way you can tell me that there isn't one of them that can't understand English and that means they know exactly what they are doing. I'm sorry, but you are 100% wrong. You know how to twist it around, don't you?
