It was based on something that he said daflyboys in his post: I've tried the whole mounting the crack and everything but to no avail. I can play normal games... It is well-known by now that there is a warez version of this game floating around various places on the internet and that is where a lot of the people in here get this game because they don't feel like buying the actual game and they somehow think this hacked version is good enough. Over the years it has been proven that there are problems with this pirated version of the game because it just does not work right 100% of the time and reading what he said here this guy has a pirated version. Whoever ripped this game that people have been downloading all these years must not have done a good job because people that use this warez version time and again report virtually the same problems with it when they come in here to ask for support. By the way, what this guy tried to do was change the EXE in the game folder so he would not have to use his CD's. That's another problem with this warez version by the way. He was probably confused because all you really have to do is over write the original mvp2005.exe file. You can do that easily but not everything will work.

Now that was a helpful post! It's my hope that this guy follows your instructions to the letter!

I've been trying to think of some good candidates and then I thought of the Love Boat and Lauren Tewes immediately came to mind. I didn't post her picture here because I like you guys too much. Tewes by the way let success go to her head and many grams of cocaine up her nose and ABC TV fired her from the show.

Oh, it was one of the times when one of the bad guys had them locked in a room and eventually he got them out by doing his usual kicking-every-bad-guy-he-sees routine to save the day. I actually own this entire series on DVD. I paid less than twenty dollars for it on Amazon a few years back. Some shows were good. Season one was better than season two.

As talked about in the shoutbox, here are Erin Grey and Pamela Hensley of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, a highly forgettable show from 1979 to 1981. These two were the best parts of that show. Grey is on the left, Hensley on the right Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Very easy daflyboys. She played Batgirl in the third and final season of Batman. No Googling required from that one.

Yes they did and they looked so much better then women like Heidi Klum for instance, who looks like she would blow away during a strong gust of wind.

You got to search. This time go on the front page and look for the link to Mvp Baseball for Dummies. There is tutorial help there.

You're right, I did forget that. I'm sorry about that. And that right there, having that entire three-game series televised by three different networks should explain perfectly why people all across the country hate both the Yankees and the Red Sox. Hell, I'm a Yankee fan and I want to see different teams each week because I am someone that does not have the MLB package on DirectV.

Updated to 6-9 ...While a recent kindergarten graduation ceremony was being held in Cleveland, a minor accident occurred that ended up with eight people being arrested in what should have been a very happy day for a group of young kids. It all started when one girl accidentally spilled punch on another girl and that was all that was needed to get this fight going since saying "excuse me" was never an option. Ten squad cars of police arrived at the school to break up the fight and the cops confiscated a hammer and a pipe that were being used during it. That's the part I don't understand. Why would anyone want to bring these things to something like this? I'm kind of curious to see what these people are going to do when their kids graduate from high school. ...The JCPenney company recently had a teapot for sale that for all intents and purposes is just like any other teapot. It heats up your water, lets you know when it's done and then you pour the water in a cup so you can enjoy your hot tea. Unfortunately someone decided that this particular teapot looked like Adolph Hitler because that's the first thing you think of when you think of Hitler, a hot cup of tea. Penney's apologized (for what I don't know) and removed this teapot from their online order catalog, although you still can get it by going into any one of their stores. Despite all the backlash and complaints this teapot sold out online and some people are selling it for $200 and up on eBay. And before you knew it the clamor about the appearance of this product became overshadowed by the people who couldn't get their hands one, whether they thought it looked like Hitler or not. ...During the latest Red Sox-Yankees series that was held in the Bronx, viewers nationwide got to see them play on Saturday night on FOX and the very next night on ESPN, proving once again that these two networks have no idea that there are twenty-eight additional teams in Major League Baseball. ...A Sacramento, California man got a package from FedEx last week which he thought was kind of strange since he did not recall ordering anything and when he opened it he saw that the box contained eleven pounds of marijuana. His first reaction was to say hallelujah but then he realized that the people that sent it to him did not mean for him to keep it on a permanent basis so he called police and turned the package over to them, which they valued it to be worth $24,000. Whomever sent this to him is going to learn the hard way to double check the address label before sending it off to be shipped. ...Yankee owner Hal Steinbrenner admitted in an interview last Monday that he has been disappointed in Alex Rodriguez' behavior at times during his tenure with the Yankees. No kidding? What took you so long? Yankee fans have been saying this for years now. ...But to be truthful, no matter how much Yankee fans lash out at Rodriguez and dislike him, they have to blame the Yankees for giving him that foolish ten-year contract after the 2007 season. It's easy to see now that they took a losing gamble with him whereas they couldn't predict that he needed two hip surgeries that turned him into the game's most expensive singles hitter along with becoming involved in two steroid scandals in a matter of four years. If there is one good thing that can be said about this ten-year marriage is that other teams have avoided getting in the same confinement that the Yankees now find themselves in. And the one team that did, the Angels, probably wish now that they didn't give Albert Pujols that huge deal after the 2011 season. And even though he only got a five-year contract the way he's playing it looks like the Angels gave Josh Hamilton five years too much. He's been doing nothing for them and he looks like a left-handed version of Alex Rodriguez where his name and contract are bigger than his results. This guy won't start hitting until he pours enough scotch in him to fill a kiddie pool. ...With Anthony Bosch finally agreeing to talk to Major League Baseball about what he knows about Biogenesis and more significantly what players were clients of his, this will arguably be the major story that will define the 2013 season. Forget who wins the batting titles or Cy Young awards. I even think this is going to overshadow whomever wins it all this year. This is going to drag on for months and it is going to be very interesting to see who gets named and what kind of proof Bosch can provide and what baseball will do with this information. ...I honestly don't care if Alex Rodriguez gets nailed to the wall here. A fifty or a one hundred game suspension will really hurt him because he then will be unable to try and pick up girls in the dugout while the game is going on. But if Rodriguez is the only one who is brought to light here then this thing is going to prove to be a farce and a witch hunt. Every player on that list should be made public and if proven guilty they should be punished too. ...I actually mistrust baseball so much now that I am starting to think that with all the recent calls that the umpires have been missing that they've been doing it on purpose just so Buddy Boy can push for more instant replay to be used. ...Indians reliever Chris Perez and his wife have been charged with fourth-degree misdemeanor marijuana possession after police, postal inspectors and a narcotics unit searched their rental home last Friday after they seized a package of marijuana that was addressed to their dog Brody, which just shows how much mischief your dog can get into when they get their own laptop. Police later said a "significant amount" of marijuana was confiscated from the raid on Perez's home. When it was said and done they ended up only walking away with a little over nine ounces. Hardly anything significant about that. How's Brody going to have a decent party with the other dogs in the neighborhood when everyone's out of the house with just nine ounces? May as well not even show up and stay home and bark at cars and do the usual things. When Buddy Boy was notified of this he immediately asked if any HGH was also included in the package and when he was told that there wasn't he said don't worry about it, boys will be boys or in this case, dogs will be dogs. ...I don't like hecklers. I don't care for people who interrupt when someone is trying to make a speech or answer questions. Usually this happens in the political field like it did last week when Michelle Obama was interrupted when she was addressing people at a private Democratic Party fundraiser. My feeling is that she's the first lady and you got to respect her for that and it should not matter if you agree with what she is saying or not. And it also should not matter if the person up there talking is Democrat or Republican. They are the ones that the crowd came to see and hear and not someone in the back trying to talk over them. About the only politician in recent years that has not had to go through this has been Sarah Palin, which did make sense if you stop and think about it because no one wanted to miss it when she said something stupid. ...An eighteen year old high school cheerleader from Minneapolis has been arrested for prostituting a younger student in her school by creating an online ad and taking her to see potential customers. For her troubles she is facing felony charges of sex trafficking and promoting prostitution and is free on $50,000 bail. Maybe the next time she wants to earn money for college in the fall she should try something else like getting a job. ...For the past five years Amazon has been testing a new product line in Seattle called AmazonFresh, which is an online grocery business that will deliver fresh produce to your door such as eggs, fruit and meat with their own fleet of trucks. The good news for those interested is that Amazon is planning on branching out to other areas of the country next week starting in Los Angeles and later in San Francisco. I'm not sure about this. I would rather go to my own grocery store to get what I need. If the shipping costs for these items are the same for the other things people usually order from them (like books, games, movies, etc) then I don't see the point of looking forward to this new service from them. I can go to my supermarket right now and buy a dozen eggs for around $1.59, give or take. I order the same dozen eggs from Amazon for the same price and they'll tack on an eight dollar shipping and handling fee. I'll pass. ...The other week I wrote about how there are some mixed-up teenage girls who have started a Facebook page that insist that mad bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was innocent because they thought he was good looking. Now someone has opened up an account for him and people have been sending him money totaling up to $1,000 so far. Tsarnaev's mother has received $8,000 from people pledging their support for her son. I don't know what they plan on doing with all that money but if all of a sudden Walmart sells out of pressure cookers we all know why. ...I saw a picture of Steven Seagal the other day. He looks like an adult version of Eddie Munster. ...Cheers to the airline that kicked those one hundred kids off the plane after they refused to sit down and turn their cell phones off as the plane was about to make departure preparations. The crew made several requests to the students asking them to prepare for takeoff and the flight's captain even made a similar request over the intercom that was also ignored and that is when they were kicked off the plane. These kids didn't realize that the airlines are not forced to put up with the behavior that their teachers are compelled to tolerate. Once they got off the plane the kids had to come up with a reason why their flight got cut short before it left the ground so they played the race card and told everyone that was listening that the reason why they got booted off was because they were Jewish. All I can say about that is Oy Vey. ...Taco Bell last week fired the employee that had his picture taken when he was licking those thirty taco shells and they also canned the person who took the photo because they figured his tongue was guilty too by association. No wonder why it always took so long in the drive-thru every time I went there. ...The officials at the Miss World contest that will be held in Indonesia in September are not going to allow the contestants to wear bikinis at this year's competition because of mounting protests from Muslim groups who believe it is disgraceful for a woman to wear them because presumably if a Muslim sees a woman wearing a bikini they end up getting turned on so much that they have to kill her so their thoughts become pure again. What will replace the bikinis will be a one-piece long sarong, which is an item that is traditionally worn as beachwear. These people really are a piece of work. If they don't like something they make sure they ruin it for everyone else. It's funny that it's ok for them to gang rape and kill women but if they happen to see their navel they think it's a sin. Got to keep them happy, right? If not they always got another bomb to set off. ...I have never understood why people insist on mowing their lawn during a bad rainstorm. ...Welcome back Burn Notice this week, which airs on the USA Network. It's the last season for this show and it's going to be hard to say goodbye to one of the best action shows on TV. ...Since 2006 there have been literally thousands of missing person cases in Mexico which has led Amnesty International to comment that it has become a national scandal for the country and a systematic failure by police to investigate these cases properly to give relatives answers about what happened to their missing loved ones. Truth be told, all they need to do is look to their neighbors in the north and start in Los Angeles. Half of the people that they are looking for are gainfully employed at the airport and at various hotels in the city. The rest of them are in Texas.

Thank you!!!! I have been waiting so long for this answer that I forgot the question.

Homer you're right. Fuzzone made that utility many years ago and it was released before Vista came out. I enjoyed that studio program very much when we first got the game but as you said it could be buggy too. I can't recall how many times the program crashed on me. But it was still a nice program for its time. TiT is fine and if you really want to, use EAgraph. But the total installer thingy is the way to go.

I am not even sure that this game was downloadable when it was released in 2005 and if by chance it was that was stopped once EA lost the baseball license later that year.

Every so often this question is asked around here.

Amazing work. Looks beautiful.

You were a lot better at doing this too wrigleyville.

You got to remember that this is an eight-year old game. This controller probably wasn't even made when Mvp 05 came out. Your best bet is to mess around with the controllers until you get it to work right. My config file for my Saitek P880 or my Logitech gamepad will not help you out at all here.

I can't even argue with that logic Dennis. Besides, GoRedSox had a great hockey dynasty going that I loved to read about. And it's true, these dynasties do keep MVP alive and it creates interest in the game. I wish GoRedSox34 a lot of luck with this although I can't be following his progress towards a possible league championship because I just can't make myself do it.

I wonder about you at times man, I really do.

Sabugo said: Yes, you are right and I'll go as far as saying that most of the Muslims in the world have no interest in participating in these kind of acts but at the same time there are many of them that do. Take this last one when they butchered an off duty soldier. In their mind only they thought they had a good reason for doing this. And wherever they go, if it is here in the U.S or in Europe, as soon as they settle down they start to dictate how they want things run. You put it good sabugo when you said your house, your rules. Don't like it? Leave. The trouble is they don't and that is when trouble starts.

Sabugo said: I can't argue with that.

Updated to 6-2 ...Everett Golson, the starting quarterback for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish was suspended from the university for at least the fall semester for what is being called "poor academic judgment." You have to admit when they put it that way it sounds a whole lot better if they came out and said we caught this guy cheating and told him to get lost. ...Wait, there's a guy on the PGA tour named Boo Weekley? I wonder how many times he watched To Kill a Mockingbird to get that nickname? ...I wouldn't want to be Adrian Peterson right now. The Vikings star running back said in an interview last week that gay marriage was something that he did not believe in and when you make a statement like that that goes against what the media says you better be prepared to be treated like there's something wrong with you. People will always defend your right to state your opinion provided that what you say goes along with theirs. ...By the way I happen to agree with the guy. I think marriage should be between a man and a woman because it takes a woman to truly make a man miserable. All kidding aside that's just how I feel and I realize I could be mistaken here and if I am it will not be the first or last time I will have been wrong. ...Speaking of weddings, my wife and I got word that we might have to attend one next year. We're not sure yet but the way my luck runs this wedding will take place and on the hottest day of the year. When I was a kid and my parents would get invited to go to weddings I would beg to go because I loved the excitement of it watching people have a good time and dance and be dressed up. At least those were the memories I had of the few weddings that the kids were invited to. Now that I'm older I don't want to be invited to any weddings ever since the one I was dragged to in Pennsylvania where the DJ's insisted on blasting Who let the dogs out at full blast over an unsuspecting audience, many of whom had never heard that song before and had no idea that the dogs had been let out. I can still recall my late father-in-law leaning over to me asking me what the hell they were saying so I told him a few dogs escaped from a dog shelter and they were looking for the guy who forgot to close the gate. ...Strange move by the Kansas City Royals by hiring George Brett as interim hitting coach and sending the two hitting coaches they already have down to the minor leagues instead of the hitters who haven't been doing anything. Brett shouldn't get too comfortable since there is nothing he can do to make anyone from that bunch hit like him. ...Meghan McCain, John McCain's daughter, is the only person I know that could convert me to becoming a Republican just by posing in a bikini. ...Muslims in England have been complaining to anyone that would listen to them that they have become victims of anti-Muslim sentiment in London and all around Great Britain because two of their own decided to take a walk last week and just because they had nothing else to do they hacked to death an off-duty soldier who was minding his own business. They don't understand why the Brits are getting so upset since this kind of stuff happens back home in the desert all the time. I'm with the people of Great Britain. These Muslim fanatics need to go back to where they came from so they can be cruel and inhumane to each other and no one thinks twice about it. I' not promoting violence but what the hell, wherever these people go and whatever they do something vicious and brutal happens. Enough of this. ...These people are incredible. A British soldier gets run over by a car and then chopped up like a cucumber and the Muslims are crying about being verbally abused, head scarves being pulled off women and an attack on a mosque. Can you imagine if this were the other way around and a Christian butchered those two Muslims instead? All of England would have been set on fire or blown up. They like doing stuff like that. It makes them happy. ...This time Amanda Bynes isn't fooling around. She's suing everyone after she was caught smoking from a bong and then throwing it out her window when the cops came to arrest her. She's going after her apartment complex for calling the cops on her, the New York Police Department for arresting her after they saw her throw her stash out the window, a New York cop for allegedly "touching her inappropriately" (when asked about this later the cop told internal affairs that he was just trying to get some of the flies off her before putting the handcuffs on) and the street vendor she went to earlier in the day who forgot to put relish on her hot dog. This woman is the only person that can make Lindsay Lohan look normal and rational. ...When I read about the teenager who defaced an ancient temple in Egypt by writing his name on it I was relieved to find out the kid was Chinese and not American. It's kind of comforting to know that this country doesn't have all the idiots. But it was what the kid's parents said afterwards that really impressed me. They took full responsibility for what their kid did and they apologized for not supervising and teaching him well. An American parent would blame it on someone else, file a lawsuit while insisting that their child would never do such a thing. ...Usually whatever Justin Bieber says or does is of no importance to me. The little that I do know about him is that he has a lot of little kids that like him and everyone over fifteen can't stand him. The Canadians gave him to us as a gift with a strict no return policy and it immediately made me wonder what we did to them to get them so mad in order for them to do this since Celine Dion was quite enough. Well, it seemed that during the Memorial Day holiday he was driving his Ferrari very fast through his neighborhood when he happened to fly past former NFL player Keyshawn Johnson and that did not make him happy at all. Johnson then got in his car and caught up to Bieber and when he got out of his car to talk to him about his driving, Bieber got out of his car and ran in his house and wouldn't come out. Not counting airport attendants who handle his luggage this was probably the closest he has been to a black person and his bladder just could not handle the excitement. ...A six-year-old little boy on his way to school last week was holding a plastic Lego G.I. Joe gun - a toy that is roughly the size of quarter- and before he knew it this little kindergartner found himself labeled public enemy number one in his school district. Because schools all over the country insist on acting like Barney Fife when it comes to situations like these when they overreact instead of using their head, things like this happen. Now because this little boy had this plastic toy in his hand he was forced to serve detention at school and there is a possibility of him having a temporary suspension from riding the bus. They really nipped it in the bud with this kid. If they would have looked the other way here this boy would have progressed to jaywalking by the first grade and then after that who knows? It's a good thing that these schools want to keep these kids safe and have a zero tolerance rule about guns and weapons but this also should not mean that they should exhibit zero common sense at the same time. ...And what the heck, one more since this school year is rapidly coming to a close. An eight-year-old boy was suspended from his elementary school because he chewed a Pop-Tart that he was eating into the shape of a gun. In other words he ate his Pop-Tart in the shape of an "L" and school officials were concerned that the said Pop-Tart the boy had was loaded. Ballistic tests on the toaster pastry later showed the Pop-Tart to be heavily loaded with blueberry and blueberry flavoring and based on that the school decided they had more than enough grounds to suspend him. Incredibly the school also told parents it would give counseling to any child that felt they needed it after the Pop-Tart incident. So far only one child has felt the need for it and it was a fat kid who complained that he was hungry and he wanted to eat the kid's other Pop-Tart and he was denied. ...I got to wonder what the hell these people had done if the kid had some Rice Krispies? Snap..Crackle..Pop! The National Guard would have been called. ...An Oregon man with apparently nothing better to do walked into a state office last Wednesday with a pressure cooker and told the receptionist there that he had a bomb and he was going to blow up the sign outside their office because a word on it was misspelled. Isn't that something? At least you got to give the guy credit here for being original. He went on to explain to the frightened receptionist that he was unable to carry out his bomb plot because the instructions he downloaded from the internet to make the device also were misspelled. Imagine the damage he could have done to that innocent sign had he just used a spell checker. ...I'm no Tampa Bay Rays fan but I really have to respect the way they handle issues within their organization because these guys don't mess around at all. Just last week they indefinitely suspended their 2010 first-round draft pick, a guy named Josh Sale, for getting kicked out of a strip club and bragging about it on his Facebook account. Sale just finished serving a fifty game suspension after testing positive for amphetamines. And now this. The Rays don't play games with people like this as they have shown in the past with characters like Delmon Young, Elijah Dukes and Josh Hamilton, all problem guys who cared more about themselves than the organization. The next time this guy's name pops up he'll be wearing a different uniform as soon as Tampa can dump him off on someone else. ...Although it is not official yet, Texas governor Rick Perry is expected to sign legislation that will allow public schools to celebrate Christmas and other winter holidays without fear of lawsuits. Can you believe this? They actually need a law for this. When this bill takes effect it will allow students and teachers to say out loud and to each other such things as “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Hanukkah," and --hold on tight now-- “happy holidays.” This is a good bill, a common sense one, and I hope it gets passed even though I don't live in Texas and I think it will make the kids feel a lot better. I'm sure a lot of them were wondering why "Merry Christmas" was treated like a dirty word at school that they couldn't say. And it's pretty sad that a bill has to be made in order for this to take place to allow children and their teachers at school to wish each other a happy holiday. ...Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has recovered enough to walk around now without the aid of a wheelchair and in a phone conversation he had with his mother he insisted that he and his brother were innocent of what they have been accused of and has no idea why he is locked up in a prison hospital. What else was he going to say, that he was guilty? His mother wouldn't believe it anyway. Have you ever seen any of those true crime shows when they bring the camera crew inside a prison to interview a guy who is serving his time and they always end up asking this same question all the time. Did you commit this crime? And every single time they look straight at the camera and say "no." That's what Tsarnaev did when he talked to his mother over the phone, which was the next best thing. ...I am suddenly pulling for the San Diego Padres to get many more come-from-behind wins this season after watching them drench super-hot sideline reporter Kelly Crull with two Gatorade baths this week.

And this is just the minor leagues! Thank you very much.
