I don't know Homer. This guy who keeps insisting that Jeter belongs ahead of these players is really pissing me off.

Let's get the obvious out of the way first here Homer. I'm a Yankee fan and therefore I am a Derek Jeter fan and that means I root for this guy and I appreciate what he's done for the Yankees since he's been with them. But there is no way I would put this guy on my all time great list. When I compare him to other shortstops in the history of the game I can not with a straight face put him on it. And anyone that makes an argument that he does deserve to be on this list is misguided. I agree here 100%.

I need some time to think about this because this is harder than it seems.

Updated to 8-19 ...Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chad Johnson was arrested for head-butting his wife after she found a receipt for condoms that he recently made. An argument ensued, things got heated and she ended up getting bopped in the head. Johnson spent the night in jail and as soon as NFL commissioner Roger Goodell heard about it he fined Johnson an undisclosed amount of money for an illegal hit to the head. ...If this was all that happened to Johnson I'd have imagined he would have been fine with it but his week just went from bad to worse. Soon after this incident with his wife she decided to file for divorce after only forty-one days of marriage, which gave Kim Kardashian an incentive to beat the next time she ties the knot. And then it was the Miami Dolphins turn. In what was probably going to be the most media attention they will get all season, the team released Johnson -which is their choice- but they made sure to do it while the cameras were on during the NFL Films "Hard Knocks" series which just showed a lack of respect and compassion from them. ...A woman from a small eastern Pennsylvania town not far from Philadelphia was arrested for stabbing her fiance to death during an argument in the early morning hours on the day that they were to be married. What they were arguing about was not disclosed and her excuse was that "she didn't do it on purpose" despite the fact that she ended up stabbing him two times. As any wife can bear witness to this woman really screwed up here because she could have just nagged him for the rest of his life and avoided prison time. For any of you guys in here that are not married yet remember this since it proves the old adage that it is unlucky for you to see your bride before the wedding. ...Four members from Congo's Olympic delegation went missing after the closing ceremony in London last week. Congo officials have unsuccessfully tried to reach them since then but have been unable to. They are not missing. They know exactly where they are. One of them, a judo athlete, lost his final match after forty-nine seconds. The guy probably had his bags packed and is hiding somewhere in London at this moment. Who can blame these poor guys for not wanting to go back to the Congo? Besides, if they ever get homesick and need a reminder of home they can go to the London Zoo and let the lions chase them around for the price of an admission ticket. ...Makes me wonder why the North Koreans didn't try this. ...A Middle School in New Jersey will have a brand new rule for their students when classes resume in a few weeks. Beginning the new school semester students will not be allowed to hug each other during school hours. The incredible reason that the school gave for this was that they wanted to "teach children about appropriate interactions." Hugs may be outlawed but handshakes, pats on the back and the occasional french kiss are still permitted. ...For those of you that missed out on the original Neo-Geo console system twenty years ago, you're going to get another chance. Just in time for the Christmas season the The Neo Geo X Gold will be released for $199 and will come with twenty classic games. That's a hell of a price drop from the first time this hit the market ($650 for the system itself and $200 and up for individual games) and it makes me wonder how these guys expect people to pay two hundred dollars for this to play games that are twenty years old. It's like trying to sell Hardball III to someone who's been used to playing The Show. ...If I were Melky Cabrera I'd make a discreet call to Ryan Braun's legal team to see if they could get him out of the same mess that he was in. ...A burglar broke into the home of Steve Jobs, the late co-founder of Apple and stole computers and other items from his home and was caught by police trying to sell the goods. Among the things he was trying to fence was the only iPhone known to be in perfect working order, along with $60,000 worth of computer items, or the amount you'd pay for two Mac Books and four iPads. ...Vanessa Bryant, Kobe's airheaded trophy wife, said in a magazine interview that she does not want to be married to someone who does not win championships and if her husband has to sacrifice time away from her and her family then he better win a championship and he should do it every single year. And all this time we all thought George Steinbrenner was unreasonable. Kobe's already won five championships in his career and that's a lot for any marriage. Makes me wonder what she'd say if Bryant were a baseball player and he played for the Cubs. ....On a 100 degree day two years ago, a woman decided to attend a scrimmage that the Dallas Cowboys were holding and she took a seat on a black marble bench to watch the practice. Wearing a pair of shorts she sat down on the bench and she immediately burned her lower backside, causing her to jump up faster than she went down. If any of you have accidentally touched the hood of a car after it has been out in the sun all day you will have a pretty good idea how she felt at that moment. The result is that she suffered third degree burns on her buttocks and smelling a lawsuit along with her burned a$$, she did just that. Incredible. She's suing the Cowboys for mental anguish, physical pain and disfigurement. There's no word yet if she will also be suing the sun. If you are asking yourself why she took two years to file this lawsuit you are not alone and why you would go and sit on a marble bench when you consider how hot it was that day is living proof that some people do sit on their brains. ...Now if this woman is successful with this lawsuit consider the suits that you and I can bring up if we use our imagination: 1. For those of us in cold weather states we can sue the makers of the snow shovel that we have because when we first start to shovel our walk the handle is always cold and it makes our hands cold and we just can't have that. 2. The next time we go to 7-11 for milk and bread and they are out of 2% milk we can file a lawsuit for not having the store properly stocked. 3. When going out to dinner we can sue the restaurant if the waiter or waitress does not give us enough butter to go along with our bread. 4. Going to see your favorite team play and watching them lose in person can cause anger, frustration and emotional distress - a perfect recipe for a lawsuit. 5. When you want to do one thing with your spouse and they want to do something entirely different and you are made to do what they want, you can sue for an infringement on your inalienable right of your pursuit of happiness. After thinking about this last one it really doesn't sound like a bad idea. ...Jenny McCarthy's gone through another boyfriend, this time breaking up with Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher after four months. This broad has been tapped more times than the floor at a dance studio. ...For the past eight months R.A. Dickey has been wearing two friendship bracelets on his glove hand that were made by his two little girls and have been worn by him non-stop since the season began. That is until last Wednesday when the umpires forced him to remove them, citing the violation of a rule. It's so nice to know that Bud Selig is always looking out to uphold the integrity of the game.

Very impressive catch and it was also impressive as to how you captured the video from the TV. I'd never be able to do that.

You asked this same question in another thread. Why did you have to make a new thread for the same question?

I'm not trying to be a smartass but just download the 2012 mod and you'll see for yourself the overlay that came with it. It was made just for the Mvp 12 mod. You've been here long enough to know where the overlays are stored for Mvp baseball. To remind you all you have to do is go to the downloads section, go in the Mvp 2005 area and check in the Overlays subsection in there. You will see you have twelve pages of overlays to choose from in case you do not like the overlay that was provided in Mvp 12.

I don't see a problem with the way you want to do this. Makes a lot of sense and I'll be happy to use these rosters.

Can it be any worse? Nope. And look at the good side about this. Lowe does not have Burnett's inflated contract so his future on the team is limited to say the least.

I understand they are just guidelines and that's fine. But that right there is my problem with leagues like this. It's like "if that happens in the game then we do this." I mean I don't think you would pinch hit for Ruth in the 8th inning even though up to that point he was 0 for 3. I want that guy and all power hitters in TC 10 to have as many at-bats in a game as possible. But at the same time there would be no problem pinch hitting for someone else in the same situation who is 0 for 3. I didn't say that. I just said that we have not had Mvp leagues in here in a while. These guys dabble in fantasy leagues in here.

I can tell you put a lot of thought into this management/game simulation league thing that you want to start up and I wish you the best of luck with it because as far as I can remember in here this kind of league has never been brought up. There has been leagues in here but we haven't had any in many years. I did read your proposed rules closely and I really don't understand some of your rules here. This is what I mean: No way would I want to do that. Just because someone is 0 for 3 at the plate you will manually substitute him? Hey, I don't care if Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Hank Greenberg, Joe Dimaggio, Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, etc, etc, etc happen to go hitless in their first three at-bats. That can happen at any time. That doesn't mean I want to take the bat out of their hands before they get up to bat for the fourth time. Never. This makes no sense. Sometimes when the player charges the mound in this game he gets thrown out and sometimes the pitcher does. I have seen both. No one should be suspended for this at all. Anyways, I wish you luck.

Damn that view looks nice. Seems as if it will make it more challenging too, which is fine by me.

Hey, if you don't mind can you post some screen grabs of your classic pitch mod and some shots when you are batting? This really has me interested.

Now that I think of it my phone is almost that old too. I don't have the internet on mine but the reception is very good and that's all I want. The generation of kids that I grew up with were the last ones to play ball in the street and the one of the last to join the playground for organized sports like softball. The only softball that is played at the playgrounds when I was younger are nightly adult leagues. During the day you don't see anyone.

Yeah, he's not on here all the time but he always makes time to assign the numbers to new players.

How about if you give the modder a chance to do it?

Updated to 8-12 ...An 87 year old Denver man was arrested for growing and dealing pot and is now facing multiple marijuana-related felonies. The man was allowed to grow a certain number of plants for medical reasons but was pinched by the cops because he grew two hundred more marijuana plants over the legal limit supposedly because he wanted to increase his daily limit of lighting up once a day to lighting up once an hour. ...A British man was arrested for creating a public nuisance after he threw a bottle at the finalists of the Olympic mens 100 meter race. The guy was extremely intoxicated and quickly apprehended - which probably explains why he threw the bottle. Being in his drunken state he apparently assumed he was at a soccer game where throwing bottles is encouraged and done by one and all. ...After an impressive tryout for the Seattle Seahawks that saw him run a 4.5-40 in his workout, Terrell Owens was signed to a one year contract by the team, which just shows you how bad things in Seattle are. Taking nothing away from what he did because running a 4.5 is a tough thing to do when you are a 38 year old veteran, but remember this is Terrell Owens. He also can destroy the chemistry of a team in about 4.5 seconds too. ...With the expected launching of Apple's iPhone 5 near the end of next month, many iPhone 4 users are selling off their current phones because overnight it became dated and obsolete. Some are placing the phones on eBay to sell to some poor schmuck who doesn't know any better. The funny thing is nothing has been confirmed by Apple about the release date and the people that are selling their phone are only doing it because of rumors heard on the internet. If you ever wanted to be a part of a brainless herd of people then Apple is for you. ...I don't know how improved the New York Jets passing and running game is going to be this year but their punching game is going to be no problem. ...Jennifer Lopez is saying that her former driver has been trying to blackmail her to the tune of 2.8 million dollars because she did not use a security team he recommended for a music video shoot and if he was not paid that amount he would disclose personal information that he overheard while driving for her. Lopez in return is seeking twenty million dollars in damages from her former employee. She has as much chance of getting twenty million out of that guy as her career does in making a comeback. ...A fifteen year old boy from Ohio collapsed and was hospitalized after becoming severely dehydrated last week because he was playing on his X-box for four days straight, only stopping to grab a few snacks and take a fast shower. The first reaction to a story like this is to blame the parent and maybe there's some truth to that because when you let your kid stay inside his room for four days without wondering why, it does not display good parenting skills. But this kid is fifteen and he should know better. If this is the kind of kid that is the future of America then I'll take the past. ...When I was that age and I stayed in my room for more than a few hours my parents either thought I was sick or up to something. ...Wow, it's been a tough year for country singer Randy Travis. He just got arrested again in a matter of months for public intoxication and this second time he didn't hold anything back. Consider: he was found nude by the side of the road at night smelling of alcohol and then threatened to shoot and kill the cops who arrested him which must have made him a real popular guy at the police station. Like the old saying goes you can take the redneck out of the trailer park but when you do you'll find him laying naked in the road. ...Kinda makes me think that somewhere in Texas a homeless man is wearing a pair of rind-stoned jeans and a new 10 gallon cap. ...Just when I thought I've read enough awful news stories in the past few weeks like that Colorado theater shooting and the Neo Nazi nut who killed six people at the Sikh temple in Milwaukee, I read about a mentally handicapped woman from Vietnam who was beaten and robbed by a ten year old boy and two of his friends who incredibly were both younger than him. These kids beat her with rocks and sticks and threw a potted plant at her face. The three little robbers made off with twenty dollars from her purse, which when you split it three ways really amounts to nothing. But hey, these budding sociopaths are probably just getting started with their criminal careers and we all know that Rome wasn't built in a day. ...I neglected to mention that this happened in Philadelphia, a city world renowned for the class of its citizens. ...A man waiting for his flight in Rome, Italy fell asleep on a baggage belt and traveled about 160 feet before being discovered by airport security drunk and unaware that he dozed off on the conveyor belt. The man was taken to the hospital due to exposure from the X-Rays that scanned the luggage. The good news is that he is ok but they did discover he has two cavities on the right side of his mouth. ...What is it with the Yankees? I can not think of one sensible reason why they had to go and sign Derek Lowe. Are they trying to say that they have no one they can trust down in AAA ball? All this team does throughout the years is brag about their minor leaguers but they'll be damned if they give any of them a chance. It sure as hell helped Lowe that he once played for the Red Sox, a fact that Brian Cashman can't seem to resist when signing free agents. ...Since the selection of Paul Ryan by Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney to be his running mate it has created a swarm of opinions by people pro and con, smart and stupid, funny and ridiculous about the choice he made on news shows throughout the day. I don't know if this guy made a choice that is going to help him or end up hurting him come November because to be honest with you I have never heard of Paul Ryan and since I have been living in what I consider a very nice life here in Central New York state, I have been doing very well not knowing this guy existed. In other words, I could care less. ...When I first heard the words "Honey Boo Boo" I just thought it was the name of a song that I've never heard of but when I found out what it was - a show about a spoiled arrogant six year old redneck fat kid who somehow believes she is a beauty queen. There's more to this show of course. The kid has a mother who weighs three hundred pounds, give or take a chin and three sisters, the oldest is seventeen and pregnant. The only chance this kid has at winning a major beauty pageant is if they have the thing in front of an audience of blind people and the rest of the contestants don't show up.

You are doing something wrong. You're missing a step somewhere.

It takes practice. I went through the same thing when I started out playing this game. I couldn't hit that good at all and it seemed that every time I threw a mistake pitch it was hit over the fence or off the wall. But it does get better.

Will you take a look at that? I didn't even see it. I'm going to go download this right now. This really looks good. Thank you very much!

You got me confused here. What do you mean you were not sure if it was cleared to do so? Every single mod hosted on this website is free for the users here to download and use. So if you see something in the download section that appeals to you, grab it and read the directions on how to install it and you are good to go.

That's a tough question to answer because if you asked ten people what datafile they are using for this game you may get ten different answers. Try some out and see what you like for yourself the best. As far where Jim825's datafile is it is in the same place where it has been all this time. You can find it by searching or by going to this link right here.

Nice catches lee you. Good job.

You just responded to a six year old thread. And Edgar Martinez is on the Mvp 2005 game disk. So if you have that you already have it.

This is a three year old post, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask.
