A Man visits a Brothel The madam opened the brothel door to see a rather dignified, well-dressed good looking man in his late 40s or early 50s. "Can I help you?" she asked. "I want to see Natalie," the man replied. "Sir, Natalie is one of our most expensive ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else," said the madam. "No, I must see Natalie" was the man's reply. Just then, Natalie appeared and announced to the man that she charged $1,000 a visit. Without hesitation, the man pulled out ten one-hundred dollar bills and gave them to Natalie and they went upstairs. After an hour, the man calmly left. The next night the same man appeared again, demanding to see Natalie. Natalie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row-too expensive -- and there were no discounts. The price was still $1,000. Again the man pulled out the money, gave it to Natalie and they went upstairs. After an hour, he left. The following night the man was there again. Everyone was astounded that he had come for the third consecutive night, but he paid Natalie and they went upstairs. After their session, Natalie questioned the man. "No one has ever used me three nights in a row. Where are you from?" she asked. The man replied, "South Carolina." "Really?" she said. "I have family in South Carolina." "I know," the man said. "Your father died and I am your sister's attorney. She asked me to give you your $3,000 inheritance."

Hey Jim, I've got this on one of my DVD's that are full of mods. Let me go and look for it. Give me a few years.

I agree with what you are saying Homer and I want to say again he is not being snubbed in here. I have some of his uniform packs too but we need permission from him to do it, just like with anyone else.

BJ Upton? Well, it was spring training. Didn't matter. Next time pitch him Soriano-like and throw it low and outside. I hope you can help her. Good luck now.

Show off.

It is my experience that when you are dealing with angry cousins is to leave as fast as you can and hide.

Spungo, I am not arguing what you said but that is not the issue here. My idea some months ago was to show the people here and especially the newer ones what we have in the download section and I went through and made a list of modders that I was going to cover, modders who are no longer here and modders that currently are. That's it. I will be the first one to tell everyone that you made excellent uniforms. I even bought your uniforms some years ago so I could use them. That's how much I liked them. But you don't have that many mods that I can tell everyone to go and take a look at because you pulled your mods from this website and brought them over to the now defunct Eamods. You know this for a fact. The problem with your lack of mods here is the same for people like UncleMo, Kgbaseball and piratesmvp04, just to name three. All you guys did great work but there is nothing here for people to go to and check out for themselves. So, you were not snubbed or ignored or intentionally left out. End of story.

This week we look at a modder who made wonderful looking overlays and datafiles that completely changed your game and a popular uniform modder who has made some of the nicest uniforms for Mvp Baseball in recent years. Ksmlove000 Ksmlove000 was a South Korean modder who created some of the most involved datafiles for this game that anyone has ever attempted to do. His last one, linked below, is probably his best one although the others he has in the download section are very good too. They just have different tweaks to them. Besides the datafile work he made some very good overlays for the game, some which are listed below. The XSports one has to be seen to be believed. Ksmlove000 Datafile 2007 v4.7. Ksm (MLB on FOX) Overlay & ETC v3.2 -no infobar. Ksm Stadium Theme v.3. Ksm TBS Overlay v2. KSM XSports Overlay v1. This unique overlay actually has a small Asian girl as part of the display. Bctrackboi11 While being away for months at at time due to military service commitments, bctrackboi11 has created some of the most popular uniforms Mvp users have downloaded over the past few years. This coming February he will have been a member here for four years and during that time has contributed his time and uniforms in the creation of the Mvp 12 and 13 mods and currently is one of the many modders working on the NCAA mod. Seattle Rainers Throwbacks. 1962 Los Angeles Angels. 2011 Padres Digital Camo. 1956 Miami Marlins (Away.) 1939 New York Knights. (from the movie The Natural) 2013 Boston Red Sox "Boston Strong" Uniform. 1942 St. Louis Browns (home and away.)

No, not at all. You actually were in the top ten when I was starting this thread but there are only two of your mods hosted on this site (your accessories pack and glove pack) and that wasn't enough choices. As you know a lot of your mods aren't here so I really couldn't do anything. The newer people here really have no idea about how good your uniforms were.

Updated to 11-17 ...Isn't it funny that the Braves are getting their third ballpark in Atlanta since moving there in 1966 and a team like the Oakland Athletics can't get a deal done to get a decent one built out in California? ...Turner Field's not exactly old. The Braves started playing there in 1997 but if you listen to the Braves explain why they want to build a new park they'll tell you that Turner Field needs $150 million in infrastructure work which is a fancy way of saying some of the seats are broke and they need new light bulbs. They just don't make stadiums to last these days. Bud Selig himself gave his seal of approval on this impending move and said so in a prepared statement released from the Commissioner's office last week. That means that the check that the Braves sent him was cashed and he now supports them 100%. ...I did not really pay attention to the local elections around here and I confess I did not even cast a vote that day because aside from voting on a new mayor I had no idea what other positions were to be decided on because between you and I and whoever else reads this every week I really didn't care. ...I may not have had any interest but at least I kept it to myself until just now. Over in Boston the voters there showed that they didn't give a damn who their next mayor was going to be when they gave David Ortiz the most write-in votes in the Boston mayoral election, which was news to Ortiz since he wasn't running for office anyway. But the fine folks in Beantown figured that since he can hit a baseball that surely means that he is qualified to run the city. And if anyone out there needs any further proof that no one really cares about steroids here is your proof. That little PED incident hizzoner had? Gone and forgotten. Can't go after everyone especially when A-Rod makes it so easy. ...But you can't beat Texas. Down there a man named Dave Wilson got himself elected to a seat on the Houston Community College Board of Trustees by fooling the district that he was running in into making them think he was black. Wilson, who looks more like an accountant than a glad-handing politician, beat his Democrat opponent who happened to be black and has the photo ID to prove it by only twenty-six votes. What I am trying to figure out is how did he do it? Didn't he do any campaigning or give any speeches? As far as I can tell from what I heard is all he did was send out election flyers with pictures of black people that were downloaded from the internet. His opponent was understandably upset about losing, especially at such a close margin. His major complaint was that Wilson never put out to voters that he was white. Should he have? If just a few of them were paying attention this guy would have never got elected. ...And this is from a state where not too long ago wanted to secede from the United States. ...Chinese-American groups and other protesters that currently have nothing else to do are upset with Jimmy Kimmel and are calling for his job all because of a segment that Kimmel runs occasionally on his late-night TV show called "Kids' Table" where as host he would ask a group of young children questions and the answers that they gave were strictly off the cuff and completely unrehearsed. This question-and-answer format with pre-school children was first made famous by Art Linkletter and later in the late 1990's by Bill Cosby. What got Kimmel in trouble was when he asked the kids how the United States should repay its $1.3 trillion debt to China. One little boy suggested that "we kill everyone in China" and that was enough to get the professional protesters going again to babel about another injustice. I don't understand why Kimmel is being targeted here. Sure it was his show but why should he be held responsible for what the child thought in his mind was an easy answer to his question? And for a group of adults to gather together so they can complain and protest about a comment that a pre-school kid made on a late night talk show is ridiculous. Kimmel is taking the brunt of this because it's so much easier throwing stones at him instead of a six-year-old-boy. ...We had our first snow last Tuesday. Well, not really. While it was true that everything was covered in white that morning we didn't get more than a quarter of an inch and by the time early afternoon got here it it had all melted. But there is something about the first sight of snow every year that makes bad drivers turn into really bad drivers. I had to go out that day to run some errands and it didn't shock me at all to see on my way home a car that was being towed away after hitting a tree. Trees have a habit of jumping out in the road during snowfalls. What always worries me every year is the first time we get snow and we have so much that we have to break out the shovels. That's when these people are really dangerous. ...You got to hand it to the dedication that golfers have to their game. Take for example that guy who traveled down to Cancun, Mexico to attend a wedding and during some of his free time down there he decided to play a round of gold with his friends. At one point he was so intent on trying to hit a shot from a bunker that he did not see a twelve-foot crocodile watching him to see if he could hit himself out of the sandtrap. The croc was nice enough to give him one shot but one was all he gave because then he lunged at the guy and attempted to drag him into the water. Luckily his friends came to his aid and began beating the animal with their clubs before it let go and ran off. When they asked the officials who ran the Iberostar Cancun Golf Club why steps were not taken to rid the place of crocodiles they were told that the crocodiles were allowed to stay there because they rid the course of lousy golfers. ...I couldn't stop laughing last week when I saw the clip about that sixty-two-year-old white supremacist who while a guest on a talk show, found out he had a little bit of African descent in him. Naturally he said he didn't believe it and there had to be some sort of mistake. That's probably the best thing for him do from here on out, just to say that there was some sort of error with the DNA testing because if he doesn't one night he'll get all good and plastered and he'll start burning crosses on his own front lawn. ...I was watching part of an old movie last Wednesday afternoon called Marathon Man and still after all these years I have never seen it from start to finish. That's because every time they get to the part when he's being tortured in the dentist's chair I put something else on as fast as I can. I'm not bragging here or anything but there is no way I'd be tortured like that because all they have to do is give me a Snickers bar and I'll tell them what they want to know. ...Here it is a few weeks past the end of the World Series and traditionally this has always been the toughest part of the year for me because I am trying to adjust to not having baseball around me. You would think with the MLB Network around now that it would help but I didn't watch them much when the season was going on. So I go back to watching the NFL but I can't watch much of it because every time a touchdown is scored someone is dancing around in the end zone as if a colony of ants were suddenly dumped down their back. They all do it and that includes the Raiders, whom I am partial to. I remember watching a guy named Walter Payton who played for the Chicago Bears. He was a hell of a runner who played for some very bad Bears teams until near the end of his career when he finally played on a winner. Payton was one of the best and after he scored a touchdown he would give the ball to an official instead of breaking out into a signature dance. That's why I don't watch football that much. The showboating ruins the sport for me. ...Probably the worst news that I heard last week had to do with the Major League Baseball owners approving the expansion of video replay review. What this is going to do is allow two challenges per game by managers for any play they wish and if you don't think these will all be used up by the fourth inning of any typical Yankee - Red Sox game you have another think coming. ...And for those people who are supporting the further use of replay in the game and are thinking that two protests a game for each manager is no big deal let me tell you this. This is only the beginning because before long they're going to decide to give the managers three or four challenges a game and everyone still is going to say it's not a problem. Before long watching a baseball game is going to be as bad as watching a football game because you're not going to know if something you've just seen take place is going to be reversed. ...It's common knowledge that before this off season is over with that the Yankees are going to sign someone that will have everyone else scratching their heads. Usually it is a player who's pushing forty and would have been more useful to them had they signed him ten years ago or it's the square peg in the round hole kind of player that does not really fit in but they sign him anyway. The latter is what would have happened had Brian Wilson agreed, once he heard that the Yankees were showing interest in him, to shave his beard and get a haircut to adhere to the Yankees strict rules that limit the length of a player's hair and facial hair. But bless his heart, Wilson told the Yankees to keep their scissors and razor away from him because he had no interest in signing with them. Finally a sign that maybe the Yankees fortunes are turning around. Usually they end up signing idiots like this. ...Isn't there some sort of saying that goes something like if things are going good you should expect something bad to happen? Whether there is or not that is what happened to me. Things have been going pretty good lately but I've had times like this in the past where everything seemed to be going well too and when the crash hit it was always loud and painful. The crash hit me at 9:53 a.m. last Friday when I was getting ready to make a left-hand turn into a supermarket. That's when my car decided it didn't want to work anymore and died right before I wanted it to turn. I put my flashers on but that still didn't stop the people behind me who wanted to make that same left-hand turn from getting upset at me because my car wouldn't move. I swear they must have thought I did this on purpose and I chose that intersection to stop and have coffee. It seems that there is something wrong with the air flow vent or hose or whatever and because of that the engine is not getting enough air. I found this out after the AAA road side driver towed my car to the mechanic and now this has to be cleaned out for the proper air flow to get where it has to go. At least it is not something with the brakes or the alignment, things that you know are expensive as soon as you hear those words being said. I can't be sure if I am being optimistic here or am just saying this to keep from panicking for the rest of the weekend until they call me on Monday morning to let me know how much this is going to cost.

Jim is someone that knows more about this game then most people in here and has been creating full season mods for years so if he says something can or can not be done in the game people listen. There are faces for managers however. You can find them in the download section. Take a look at this one. It's a hell of a good likeness but where you going to put it? If you look closely you see that he's got Francona playing the infield. It made no sense to me and that's why even though the face looked great I didn't bother downloading this.

Tell the great man the next time you talk to him that his number one fan is still here and says hello to him.

Never fear, the great man has not been forgotten here. Stay tuned in the following weeks.

I should have mentioned last night that there is a mod here that you may find of some use here. Some years ago a user named The_Betz made an Organ mod that replaces the rally.big file with customized organ music. I have used this mod for years and really adds a lot to the game play. There's a few reasons why this mod is not that well known. First, it was made seven years ago. Secondly it was made by a guy (The_Betz) who people are not really familiar with and lastly this was his one and only mod that he made here. The_Betz has not been here since 2009.

Um, I better not come in this thread again because the next thing I know I'll be taking a brand new PS4 out of the box and trying to convince my wife that I got it for her.

Jim I would love to take credit for this but I can't. Last night I used the well-hidden practically invisible password-protected search function that we have on this site and I was just quoting something that Mark said in a thread three years ago.

It is possible by editing the rallydat.big file.

This week we zero in on a modder that during his short time here created some very useful utilities and another modder that helped organize and lead in the creation of the two new Mvp season mods that were released during the past two years. Compmaniac Compmaniac joined here in late 2006 and the utilities that he made for this game were a huge help in modifying and customizing your game. He's not that well known today even though what he made is just as relevant now as it was then. But that's the purpose of this thread, to introduce quality work from modders that have been here in the past. One of his most popular mods that he made was his base mod (featured below) where he was able to show in hi resolution dirty bases or clean bases, whichever you preferred. Downloaded over 2,000 times it just gave another dose of realism to the game. All Screens Maker (4 different screens.) Initial Splash Screen, CTS Screen, Loading Screen, License Screen. Base Mod in Hi-Res (Dirty or Clean.) MLB Vector Circle + Extras. Mvp Baseball Game Resolution Changer. Mvp Softball. Note: As stated in the mod description this is not a completed mod and I always wished that Compmaniac would have finished it because he was on to something here. I've tried this mod out myself and it works very well. Back up your files as always if you want to give this a go. Mvp Schedule Reader. Kyleb During the time after the Mvp 2008 was made there was always a discussion about making another season mod but after bringing it up at the beginning of each year and talking about it for awhile nothing ever came of it. There were still modders around to work on this game but what really was needed was someone to fill Krawhitham's role of being the project organizer and leader and without someone like that a mod of this kind would not be made. Finally in 2012 a new season mod was made and it was thanks to Kyleb who put things together and who worked flawlessly with a very talented group of people that have produced two very impressive mods in the past two years. Each modder of course deserves credit for what he contributed because the mod would not have been the same without them but without Kyleb things would have not have come together. Mvp 12. Mvp 12 1x Uniform Pack. Mvp 12 Walk-Up Music. Cleveland Indians Minor League Portraits 2012. Mvp 13. Mvp 13 1x and 2x Uniforms.

That sabugo, was one hell of a post.

Updated to 11-10 ...This Friday Sony will be debuting the Playstation 4, the latest edition of their successful line of gaming consoles. While I will not be getting one myself for financial reasons only I am still very interested if the game play on this machine matches the hype that it received in the last few months leading up to the release on November 15th. If I had five hundred dollars to hand over to get one for myself I would have already pre-ordered one but with Christmas getting closer and money being dished out for that faster than we can earn it I have no problem holding off. Maybe with luck for my birthday in July and by that time there might be a price cut. ...There's someone I know who owns both the original Xbox and the Xbox360 and he is also one of those people that gets them on the first day they are sold or not long after. Characteristically for him he'll have his hands on his Xbox One before the weekend of the 22nd draws to a close. He loves the Xbox so much that the suits in Redmond, Washington should hire him and place him in their publicity department. He loves pointing out things that he believes are weak points about the PS3 or PS4 and last week he told me in an e-mail that Sony made a late change in the PS4 that they put in right before Friday's launch where they were dropping support for Mp3's and CD's so they could not be played on the new system. I'm glad he wasn't looking for a response because I didn't give him one but if this is what Xbox fan boys are zeroing in on to point out what they see is a flaw then they must think that Sony's going to come out with a good one at the end of the week. If I was in the market to get one of these systems this would not be a deal breaker because in my house alone I can think of at least ten different devices to play my CD's and at least half of them will play MP3 files along with it. Most houses have CD players and if they have a computer they can play MP3's. Maybe that's why Sony dropped support for them because they are so readily available anywhere else. I'd still get the PS4. I just need the money. ...I was kind of surprised that some members of the Miami Dolphins were coming out in support of Richie Incognito, whose unique way of hazing towards second-year player Jonathan Martin came out in the open last week after Martin left the team. If this guy ends up getting kicked out of the NFL for this, which is now a good possibility, he will have no one in his corner to defend him or lend him moral support unless you are counting the Klan or the state of Mississippi. ...You never know when you are going to cross paths with the next idiot that enters your life. This happens occasionally when I have to go to a drive-up window. I'll never forget one instance ten years or so ago when I ordered an Egg McMuffin and and orange juice and after the McDonalds employee asked me if that completed my order she then asked if I wanted an egg with it. I told her I ordered an Egg McMuffin and since when do you have to request that the egg be included in this? Her response was a mumbled "oh yeah" which I have discovered over the years is code for I screwed up again. I've told this story to friends and relatives over the years and I've even repeated here in the shoutbox too a few years back. Some people believed what I said and some didn't but they all laughed because they thought it was a good story. What happened to me last Tuesday when I went to pick up a prescription is now going to replace my McMuffin story. The CVS near my house has a drive-thru drop off and pick up window for pharmacy business and I went there that day to pick up some medication. After providing my name and address this is how the rest of the conversation went, word for word. CVS: Can you tell me the month and day in which you were born? ME: Sure. July 14th. CVS: No, that's wrong. ME: You mean I've had it wrong all these years? CVS: Can you tell me the month and day in which you were born? ME: July 14th, and here's my drivers license to prove that the State of New York agrees with me. She then took my license and then tapped on her keyboard a few times and whatever she did made her see that CVS also agreed that I was in fact born when I said I was. I know this because I heard her say "oh yeah." She didn't fool me. I knew what she really meant. ...A middle school football coach from Portland, Oregon got himself fired for his refusal to change the venue of a team party that was scheduled to take place at Hooters. The party was planned over a month ago and the team's parents were notified of it then and during all that time the coach did hear of any objections to his plans. That all changed on the weekend before the party when the school athletic director told him that three or four families took exception as to where this affair was to take place but by that time it was too late to change restaurants because the coach had already spent over $1,000 of his own money in preparation for this day. Now I'm sure this coach wasn't planning on slipping his players a beer or two while they were there, after all the parents were to be in attendance too. And if anyone who has ever stepped foot in a Hooters before knows they keep things light and easy in there and they never take themselves too serious. But that's not what some of these parents are complaining about. They don't want their son to see a girl wearing short shorts and a tight t-shirt, forgetting that all these kids have to do is turn on the TV or surf the internet or even walk around a mall on a hot summer day for them to see worse. The exposure to violence on a daily basis that these kids see, whether it is the real kind or the kind you see on TV is almost the norm these days. That being said, thank God that eighth-grade football team was spared from seeing pretty girls walking around wearing a t-shirt that was one size too small. ...You can tell when Brazilian soccer fans do not like you because they will literally separate your head from your body. This was the way they let a referee know they were not pleased with his work this past summer and the other week they did the same thing to a retired player by the name of João Rodrigo Santos Silva. Silva's wife discovered his head in a backpack which was left by the front door of their home as she was preparing to go to work. It is uncertain why this happened to Silva, who stopped playing two years ago and since then has owned and operated a health food store. No games were scheduled that day and the people in charge of the beheadings down there must of had nothing else to do. And the World Cup is going to be held there next year? What a good idea. I hope that the stadium that this will be played in is right near the airport because if Brazil doesn't win this thing that is where all the other teams are going to be running to. ...One thing I have learned over the years about Halloween is that the idiots make themselves well know with the costumes they decide to wear. From the mother in Virginia who dressed her little boy as a mini Klansman and thought nothing of it, explaining that it was a "family tradition," to the two girls in England who dressed as the burning Twin Towers just as they appeared after the September 11th, 2001 attack to the right after they were attacked in 2001 to the twenty-two-year-old Michigan girl named Alicia Ann Lynch who dressed as a victim of April's Boston Marathon bombing and thought it was hilarious. I'm sure that little boy did not know the meaning behind that costume he wore. For him it was Halloween and that meant candy. The others were old enough to know better and the backlash that the girl who wore the Boston Marathon costume has cost her her job and her privacy when it was found that she had some nude photos take of herself and someone posted them online. (Now I won't post the link here but if you just Google her name you'll see that once again Google is your friend.) This almost makes you want to fast-forward to next Halloween to see what these people are going to dress up in next because in twelve months time they're not going to get any smarter. ...Goodbye Blockbuster Video and thanks for the memories, mostly bad. I can't recall how many times I went into one of those places to get a movie and it wasn't there. I used to joke with my wife that the employees knew what I was coming in for and would hide it before I got there. ...Courtney Stodden, the girl who at the age of sixteen married a fifty-one-year-old man just two years ago has now filed separation papers from her husband. This decision stems from her need to no longer have plastic surgery done on her chest and her husband's insistence to take vacations and getaways based on what he read in his AARP magazine. ...Kmart's announcement last Monday about their decision to stay open for forty-one hours straight starting at 6:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving day came with all the expected outcry and anger that they anticipated. I read the usual "I'm never going to set foot in your store again" quotes but by next July when something's on sale for their summer patio they'll go there. People are calling them greedy and selfish among other things but the Kmart executives, who will be home that day with their families, know that a lot of the people who are condemning what they are doing will be there on Thanksgiving day. And that is the problem right there. Every year these retailers push it just a little bit more to see what they can get away with and the public always does their bit and shows up when they want them to. Last year Walmart started their Black Friday sales at 8:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving and I wrote then in this thread that I would not be surprised if that was moved before Thanksgiving within the next few years and based on what Kmart is pulling this year my prediction could come through in 2014. ...It's no wonder that as each year passes I dislike Christmas more and more. Not the Scrooge way that Charles Dickens wrote so well of but just being fed up of watching what this holiday has turned in to. It used to be you would start thinking about Christmas the day after Thanksgiving but now it's right before Halloween. Sometimes I think that if Scrooge was around these days and if the three ghosts that were sent to visit him stopped to look around for a bit they might say the hell with it and leave. ...It's been a long time since I went out and bought a comic book but that is going to change next month because the people at Marvel comics are changing the appearance of one of their super heroes and making her into a sixteen-year-old Muslim-American teenager who lives in New Jersey. I don't know why Marvel decided to have a Muslim as one of their lead characters and have to emphasize it. Maybe to keep things even when the next Iron Man movie they will announce that Tony Stark is Jewish. I'm buying it to see how accurate it is by checking to see if every four pages or so something gets blown up and a jilad is declared. A Muslim super hero. I guess after twelve years Marvel figured no one would mind.

Sounds good to me. Is this going to be something similar to that WS 98 datafile that you released last year?

Thank you for your time in making these rosters. So I just download the file that says version 2.0? I got the other ones including the patch you made for it previously.
