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.

Oh well, what can we do? That's how it goes.

Oh my God. I WANT IT.

Yes, they are shut down for good. And no we can not upload this.

I'm not too sure but it would not surprise me if it was an Mvp 08 face. Swisher has been with the Yankees since 2009 and hasn't had a beard all this time.

You are probably right. But wouldn't you say what he is doing this year is the complete opposite of what he has done in all his years as a Yankee? These two leagues can't be that much different that this has to happen.

He is doing this year what the Yankees expected him to do for them. I don't understand it either.
