  1. What the you-know-what? You're selling it for a decent price too!
  2. That's a nice Nolan Ryan you made.
  3. 40 downloads

    From the readme file: This graphics pack will update ALL overlays to look as if the game is being broadcast on the YES network. All the overlays have been modified to use a yankees blue white and black color scheme, along with original designs by myself for many of the overlays (Due Up box, Replays). Also this includes shuttertop.bmp and shutterbot.bmp which will update the shutter animation for replays, into a "YES Network Action Replay" shutter. To Install: Install all files (EXCEPT shuttertop.bmp and shutterbot.bmp) to your ArtOverlays folder for HH2K3, or into Art2K2Overlays/ folder for HH2K2. Install shuttertop.bmp and shutterbot.bmp into the Art2D folder for HH2K3.
  4. I've read this entire thread over again from the beginning and aside from all the animated gifs I have no idea at all what you all are talking about!
  5. All aboard the Kansas City Royals bandwagon! Never mind that it's June and that every team gets hot over a 162 game season! Miguel Cabrera did nothing for the three games against the Royals and he hit just as well as Mark Teixeira does for the Yankees (1 for 8, 3 walks and 2 strikeouts.)
  6. Thank you! I am going to try this on my Windows 7 laptop.
  7. I gave him a link to this thread so he could see for himself the problems you were having. Don't worry, Trues can fix this.
  8. Um, you didn't offend me and I never said you did. I am going to bring this up to the site owner tonight. He knows when and how much you contributed. What I have done for you right away is move you into contributor status. I am also going to let the site owner know I did this too. I am sure this will get straightened out soon.
  9. Yes, we are all ghosts here. And what subscription do you have? You are not in a contributor or a contributor plus status. You are a member and that means you get only two downloads a day. And to answer your question, yes there are people here like myself that are looking after the website. If you have not heard from the website owner that means he is busy. Away from this website he is like everyone else. He works. And sometimes that can be time-consuming.
  10. Updated to 6-15 ...Tomorrow in Bridgeport, Connecticut Pete Rose is getting the opportunity to return to the dugout and manage one game for the Bridgeport Bluefish of the independent Atlantic League. Since the Bluefish are not associated with any team in baseball they did not have to seek out the permission of Major League Baseball before they offered Rose this one-game opportunity. Rose said he took this opportunity because he loves baseball, a fact that was never in question anytime his name was mentioned. His problem was betting on the wrong horses and the wrong baseball teams. Willie Upshaw, the former Toronto Blue Jays first baseman is the manager for all the other games on the Bluefish schedule. I wonder if all he has to do for this game is to keep Rose's coffee cup filled and to tell the press what a wonderful job he did? ...A manager of a Family Dollar store in Saginaw, Michigan was fired last week after observing some customers in the act of shoplifting and when he called 911 to report the theft they asked him to go outside to see if he could get the woman’s license plate number. When he went out to the parking lot to get the information for the police the women in the car saw him and figured out what he was trying to do and before he had a chance to finish they got out of their car and confronted him. It's right here where the store manager took matters into his own hands and it ended up costing him his job. The argument between the people lasted for about two minutes and the only stolen item he was able to get back from the women was a can of Febreze which he then promptly sprayed in the car in a fit of anger. It's a good thing these people didn't steal a can of Raid. The fired store manager explained later that the police in this section of town that this Family Dollar is located in do not show up when you call 911 and the only thing that they did in this instance was call back later to see if they had everything under control. Losing your manager's job at a place like that isn't the end of the world because you can make nine dollars an hour someplace else with a lot less responsibility. But if there is one thing to take out of all this it is the knowledge that if you are even in the Saginaw area and you need to pick up a few things and you are a little short on funds, just drop by this store and load up with anything you want and the cops will never catch you because they won't even show up. ...I saw something similar to this a few years back when my wife and I took one of our dogs to the local Petco so he could pick out a new toy to bring home with him. While we were walking back to the car we saw four people that we learned later on were members of the same family coming out of the Factory Card Outlet (now called Party City) and the reason why we paid attention to them was the way they walked out of the store. Every few steps they kept on looking over their shoulders like they were trying to sneak away from someone so they could leave them behind while they drove away. We were just about to get in the car to go home when all hell broke loose. Two people from the store came out and pointed to them and yelled at them to stop. As soon as they said that they took off running to their mini-van and unfortunately for those store employees those people did not have that far to run. The family of Bonnie and Clyde made a clean getaway and I don't know if they were ever caught because the police were only a minute behind them. I later learned from one of the guys that took off after them that this family was going from store to store in this small outlet mall stealing whatever they can get their hands on. ...A father on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i got himself in some pretty hot water with a judge because of the way he chose to discipline his kid. Dad had to go to his son's school because he had to pick him up because the school was sending him home for the day for doing something wrong and when he got there he was naturally curious as to why he had to come and pick him up. While they were in the car he kept on asking him about it but his son refused to respond. Finally the father had enough of his little act and stopped the car and told him to walk the rest of the way home. You know, like they do on TV at times. When he let him out he was only about a mile away from home. For doing this he had to stand in front of a judge and explain his actions and the judge, to put it mildly, was not sympathetic. She sentenced him to one year's worth of probation, a $200 fine and he is forced to attend a child parenting class for a misdemeanor charge of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor. All this for making the kid take a walk. All this time I knew something was terribly wrong during my growing up years because every single day without fail my parents would make me walk to school. ...The only regret I have about the Manny Machado bat throwing incident is that he didn't do it against the Red Sox. ...I can't imagine how much pressure Mariano Rivera, Jr is going to be under now after the Yankees drafted him. If he can be half as good as his father the Yankees are getting a good one. ...Where I live the name Tom Golisano is very well known. In 1971 he founded Paychex, a company that offers payroll and payroll tax services which in turn made him a billionaire. He's had many interests such as owning the NHL Buffalo Sabres for a time and also running unsuccessfully for Governor of New York three times. He has contributed a lot to charity including a three million dollar grant to the high school I used to attend and part of that grant allowed the school to purchase laptops for each one of their students. Now at the age of seventy-two and three times divorced already he will be getting married again, this time to forty-year-old former tennis star Monica Seles, a woman who was born two years after he founded his company. Some people never learn. Seles is a millionaire already but there's always room for improvement when you hook up with a billionaire. One look at Seles these days again confirms that one of the first things to desert you as you age is your vision. ...A man who drove a cross-country trip with a dead woman in the passenger seat will not face charges for failing to report her death immediately since there was no foul play involved and that he thought he had forty-eight hours to report her death because that is what he read on the internet. When he arrived home he was asked by the medical examiner if he was uncomfortable driving all that way knowing there was a dead body in the car the guy replied that he was fine and that the ride was pretty quiet since the woman kept to herself for most of the trip. ...The New York papers have been running daily articles on the Life and Times of Derek Jeter because they don't want anyone to forget for one day that this is his last year as a Yankee, as if we can forget it. They never have a hard time coming up with a new angle to kiss his backside but last week when they said that Jeter showed Cano what it means to be a leader they went a little bit too far. If there is any truth to that at all then Captain Wonderful did an awful job because whatever words of wisdom he passed on to Robinson Cano it must not have been worth remembering. Cano may be a lot of things but a leader isn't one of them. ...Hey, the World Cup started! I know this because ESPN has been talking about this non-stop and they're giving it a lot of coverage to try and fool people to think they actually care who wins. And I never would have paid attention to this at all had it not been for that Brazilian girl wearing blue who sang in the opening ceremonies. ...A man in Arizona after having four or five too many drinks in one night went out in his backyard last week to get some air and while he was out there had a confrontation with the moon because he didn't like the way it was looking at him. So he ran back in his house and grabbed his handgun and started firing at it but his shots missed by a few hundred thousand miles. Give him credit, he tried. For his attempt to shoot the man in the moon he was charged with felony counts of unlawful discharge of a firearm, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and for trying to out-drink a bar full of people with tequila shots. He'd have been ok if he just did what Ozzy Osbourne did and just bark at it. ...It is never easy to hear about a ballplayer unexpectedly dying the way Bob Welch did last week. Even though I may not have thought about him for years (not counting Total Classics games) the news still came as a shock to me. I didn't realize that he was in the big leagues for seventeen years. I do know when his rookie year was because the replay of him striking out Reggie Jackson to end game two of the 1978 World Series was shown quite a few times but a lot of people do not know what happened a split second before Welch threw his final pitch to strike out Jackson. Bucky Dent was the runner on second base and with a 3 - 2 count he took off on the pitch. As he took off he caught Jackson's eye and when you are trying to hit a 95 mph missile from a hard-throwing rookie you need all the concentration you have. Jackson ended up striking out and in the replay you can see him being upset with himself. He was, but he was also upset about the distraction caused by Dent. But this was back in the days when the Yankees played like the Yankees and they won the next four games to win the series. Jackson faced Welch two more times that series and got a single and in the deciding game back in Los Angeles he got his revenge on Welch. In the seventh inning with New York leading 5 - 2 Jackson again faced Welch. This time with one runner on first base, Welch threw another fastball to Jackson and Jackson turned on it and deposited it in the right field bleachers to make the score 7 - 2 and that's how the game ended. R.I.P. Bob Welch. ...Also R.I.P. to former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Chuck Noll who died last Friday at the age of eighty-two. Noll is the only coach to win four Super Bowls and he did it with the powerful Steeler teams back in the 70's. What I remember most about Noll is that he called Raiders strong safety George Atkinson "part of the criminal element" in the NFL after Atkinson hit Lynn Swann in the head with his forearm in the first regular season game of the 1976 season. Atkinson filed a two million dollar defamation lawsuit against Noll but lost. Noll was a hard guy to beat even off the football field. ...Finally happy Father's Day to all the dads in here. I hope you have a relaxing and enjoyable day!
  11. Is there something wrong with your video card?
  12. I don't want to have these pictures taking over this game thread so as of today they will not be posted in here anymore.
  13. White fur? What do you think he is, a polar bear?
  14. Minnesota Twins' Kendrys Morales in his first at bat of the season during the first inning of a baseball game against the Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto on Monday, June 9, 2014.
