I don't care if the Yankees won. That worthless Teixeira is a no good bum.

Wonderful job. I love it! Thank you very much.

Yeah, get

A three run home run by Dioner Navarro and the Yankees are going to fold up and go back to the clubhouse. What the hell has happened to this team?

I believe that. I don't care what the hell the players say when they are concerned about the fans and that the fans are important to them. That's a crock of #&^%. Not all the players feel this way but I would have to say more than 90% of them do.

Not with the horse**** team they have right now.

Now isn't that the truth? Maybe the next time we can think of a debatable topic and mull it over. There's a lot in this game.

The wrong house. Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say: "Jesus is watching you!" Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again. "Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again. The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot. He asked the parrot: "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?" "Yes", said the parrot. The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the parrot: "What's your name?" "Harold," said the bird. "That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Harold?" The parrot said, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus."

Well, I don't know. Maybe I don't trust these players anymore because they mean less to me now then when I first started following the game. But I do know one thing. That is your opinion and that is worth just as much as anyone else here and that is good enough for me.

No, I don't see the point. You get a picture of Jeter because he's a guy that has never been accused of cheating. You also could have grabbed a photo of Ortiz with Mariano Rivera, also a Yankee, a Hall of Famer and no one ever thought he was a cheater. As for Mantle, is he the only alcoholic to play in the majors? Look through the Hall of Fame members and you will see he has plenty of company. Pretend you are a fan of any other team and you will understand.

And I agree with you. It's not really a big deal if the Yankees are mentioned here because we all know what team Rodriguez plays for.

What the &&&&? Why bring up Yankees when you are trying to make a point? Is there any reason you had to drag in Jeter, except that he's a Yankee? I just don't get it. And I am sure if I bothered to look hard enough I would find pictures of Ortiz hooting and hollering and carrying on with Justin Verlander or Scherzer. But I won't.

I am questioning Cabrera because of his friendship with Ortiz. Birds of a feather, etc.

I'll give the Yankees by the end of July to be in last place.

Who gives a sh** what Mantle did? It was a different era. He was the big man on the team so no one said anything when he drank and ran around on his wife. He didn't do steroids. Alcohol shortened his career. And why bring up Mantle in this?

Hey man, don't worry about working on Michael Pineda. He's still on his sabbatical.

I'm not questioning Trout. The guy's never been in trouble so there is no reason to accuse him of something. I would put every amount of money I have in the bank and say that Ortiz has not taken a test in years.

Cabrera is tested just as much as David Ortiz is tested and means none at all. You know what that is? Because it's harder for minor leaguers to get their order of steroids. A major leaguer has someone do it for him so when someone like David Ortiz says that "he never got involved with steroids" it's true. He had someone else get involved for him.

Like I asked in the shoutbox if we want to continue talking about this subject we should do it here because it's so much easier to quote someone and respond better. That's the only reason why I suggested this thread. Now where did we leave off? Oh yeah. Miguel Cabrera is a steroid user and has not been caught simply because he hasn't been tested. But you never know. And we brought up his drinking and his habit of hitting his wife. He also plays loud music at his home that bother the neighbors, kicks small dogs and constantly drives through red lights. Does that about cover it? But Cabrera is an alter boy when you compare him to David Ortiz. Holy *&#^ the things he does and is involved in. I read an article about him years ago that no one here will believe and if I tell you what it was about you will accuse me of making it up because everyone knows I don't like him. Ok, continue. Cabrera? Bad. Indians players? Good.

You know what? So was I.

The modder will release it when he is ready.

Tony Gwynn On June 10, 1981, Gwynn was drafted by both the San Diego Padres (third round) and the NBA's San Diego Clippers (10th round). After signing with the Padres, he reported to Walla Walla of the Rookie Northwest League, where he earned MVP honors after leading the league with a .331 batting average. He spent the final three weeks of the season at Double-A Amarillo, where he hit .462 over 23 games. He made his major league debut on July 19 that season, going 2-for-4 with a double, run scored, sacrifice fly and an RBI in a 7-6 loss to the Phillies. In his 20 seasons with the Padres, Gwynn compiled a career average of .338, a mark that ranks 17th all-time among major league players. He hit .300 or better against every team in the National League with a high-water mark of .379 against the Colorado Rockies. He hit over .300 for 19 consecutive seasons, surpassing Honus Wagner's National League record set from 1897-1913. The only time he failed to bat .300 at any stop in his professional career was in 1982, when after batting .328 in 93 Triple-A contests; he hit .289 in 54 games for the Padres in his major league debut season. Gwynn ended his playing days ranked 17th in career hits (3,141). He was also ninth all-time in singles with 2,378, 17th in doubles with 543, and was among the top 75 in runs scored with 1,383. From 1993 to 1997, Gwynn hit .350 or better, becoming only the fourth player in history to top the .350 mark in five consecutive seasons, a feat previously accomplished by only Ty Cobb (11 straight .350 seasons), Rogers Hornsby (six) and Al Simmons (five). His career-high average came during the 1994 campaign when he hit .394, the highest average in the National League since 1930. Over the course of his 20 seasons, he struck out only 434 times in 10,232 plate appearances, an average of once every 23.6 plate appearances. With 790 career bases on balls, he drew 1.8 walks for every strikeout. He walked more times than he struck out in every one of his major league seasons except his rookie campaign when he drew 14 walks and struck out 16 times in 54 contests. Gwynn won a record-tying eight league batting titles (1984, 1987-89, 1994-97), joining Honus Wagner as one of only two players in National League history to accomplish that feat. The only major leaguer to win more is Ty Cobb, who earned 12 titles in the American League. Gwynn and Cobb share the distinction of being the only players to string together two separated streaks of three or more consecutive batting titles, with Tony earning three in a row from 1987-89, then collecting four straight from 1994-97. He is the only player in major league history to win four batting titles in two separate decades. Over his 20-year career, Gwynn hit .351 with runners in scoring position, including a .390 mark over his final six seasons. With 200 or more hits in 1984, 1986, 1987, 1989 and 1997, he is one of only 19 players to have reached that milestone in five seasons. A member of the 3,000-hit club, he achieved that feat on Aug. 6, 1999, in a game at Montreal with a first-inning single to right center off Dan Smith. Only two players achieved 3,000 hits in fewer games than Gwynn and just five needed fewer at bats. Gwynn's first major league hit had come off Philadelphia's Sid Monge on July 19, 1982. His 1,000th hit was against Nolan Ryan in Houston (April 22, 1988), and he got his 2,000th off Colorado's Bruce Ruffin (Aug, 6, 1993). Gwynn played in 15 National League All-Star games and was voted to start that contest 11 times. His 11 starts are the most ever by an N.L. outfielder and equals Reggie Jackson's major-league record among outfielders. He was named to the all-star squad 12 of his final 13 seasons (all but 2000) and 16 of his last 18 campaigns. Known as "Mr. Padre" both during and after his long and distinguished major league career, the San Diego club retired his number 19 jersey in ceremonies held at PETCO Park in September 2004. Last spring, the street on which the stadium is located was named Tony Gwynn Drive in his honor. On August 24, 2002, Gwynn was inducted into the Padres Hall of Fame. His jersey No. 19 was retired by the Padres during Petco Park's inaugural season in 2004. On January 9, 2007, Gwynn was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, being selected on 532 out of 545 ballots (97.61%), seventh highest percentage in Hall of Fame voting history.He was inducted alongside Cal Ripken, Jr.on July 29, 2007. Ripken and Gwynn are two of the 46 players in the Hall of Fame who played their entire major league career for only one team. Both were elected almost unanimously in their first year of eligibility.

This has been covered before in here but I'll tell you how to do this. 1. The database files in the datadatabase folder, please back them up. Zip them up just to have them backed up. I always tell everyone to back up their work. 2. After you have this database backed up, delete the files in the datadatabase folder. 3. Now install the new, updated rosters in the datadatabase folder.

Well, I still had some money on my Amazon gift card left over from Christmas and I purchased Tiger Woods 2008 for PC today. If I end up not liking the game I know who to blame.
