Updated to 10-4 ...Because of the playoffs starting this week, this month is going to fly by. We're going to be watching so much baseball that we won't know where the month has gone. ...And then when it's finally over, we'll miss it just like we do every year at this time. ...It's about time the Dodgers finally got around to winning their division. The season was almost done so they figured that they had nothing else to do. ...Who else thinks the AL Central will go down to a one game playoff? ...I've been spending a lot of time on Youtube the past few days ever since I found out that some guy was posting an old cartoon called Underdog. I really doubt if anyone here would remember this show. ...I think that the lady who does the Progressive insurance commercials is just as annoying as the Geico commercials. ...While I am obviously pulling for a very successful Yankee October, I still am hoping for Andy Pettitte to get the hell off the team and never return. ...How about winning the last game of the season just to recall what it feels like to win ? ...Tampa's deliberate beaning of Mark Teixeira won't be answered back by the Yankees until next year. ...Let's see if the Raiders can score more than three points today. Nothing changes with this team. -

Updated to 9-27 ...Already I can start to feel a chill in the air. Not good at all. ...Saw the replay of Ichiro being ejected yesterday. I really don't think he did anything that bad. ...The Cardinals won the NL Central last night and now you too can own official Division Champs merchandise from MLB.COM to celebrate the occasion. The cheapest thing is a $21.99 youth T-shirt while the one they are going to soak you most for is a Playoff Therma Base Classic Hood which can be yours for $54.99. They're always thinking of us. ...The upcoming four game series at Detroit with the Twins should be very interesting. Maybe the MLB Network will actually show a few of these games instead of replays of games that we have already seen. ...It's nice to see that even Joba Chamberlain can still pitch a good game. ...C.C. Sabathia has been all the Yankees hoped for, and the same goes for Mark Teixeira. We'd be lost without them. ...I got to admit, even Robinson Cano is knocking the hell out of the ball. ...But none of this matters if they can't play this way in October. ...Worst fans in the world, Part 9,872: A teacher in Baldwinsville, New York (a suburb of Syracuse) ordered one of his students to not wear his Yankee shirt. This teacher is a Red Sox fan so he didn't want to see the Yankee shirt. I hope this guy gets fired. ...The Cowboys new stadium looks impressive. They'll be on Monday Night so everyone can see it. -

Updated to 9-20 ...Not many random thoughts today because all that's still on my mind is my little Scottie who left me all too soon. ...I don't want to get all philosophical or anything like that here, but I'll never understand why a bad thing like that happened to an animal that never did one bit of harm to anyone. That dog had me wrapped around her little paw and I would have done anything for her. ...Usually I can recall exactly what I did during the course of a day but yesterday is a blank. ...At one point I decided to check out the Yankee game but I couldn't find it and then I remembered that they were out on the west coast. So I said F*** it and didn't bother. ...With any luck I'll get some sleep today because yesterday I went without it. ...Have a great week everyone. -

Updated to 9-13 (actually 9-16, but what's a couple of days between friends?) ...I'm back once again. If you notice the previous post in this thread that I made back on September 6th, that post is also the last one I made in here since that time. I went back into the hospital on the 6th and remained there until yesterday afternoon when I was released. That's a long time. ...I won't go into detail about everything since some of you wouldn't understand it, some of you aren't interested and some of you don't care, but to sum it up I had some complications due to the surgery and I am on antibiotics every day now, at least until they decide to stop it. ...I did come home yesterday and popped in here for a bit but I couldn't stay because I was so tired. You do not sleep in a hospital and I can vouch for that. You try to sleep when you are always getting your blood pressure checked, temperature taken, shot given to you, etc, etc. If you can, you got me beat. ...Listen, I'm hoping that none of you guys in here ever have to go to a hospital for anything but if you do I strongly recommend a private room. Because along with all the noise that the hospital staff causes, you got the guy in the same room as you making just as much. God forbid you get a roommate like I had. The guy complained about everything. He drove the nursing staff and myself crazy. ...After being admitted via the emergency room twice, I got to say that the people that work there are very special and they do a wonderful job. ...As soon as they tell you that you are not allowed to eat or drink anything, that's when you immediately crave a glass of water. ...Because I am a charter member of the Sniveling Cowards Association of Upstate New York, having an IV put into me hurt like hell. It even hurt when they told me they were going to put one in. ...Finally, I just have to say a prayer that I never have to go there again. Now, on to sports... ...Thank you Serena Williams for showing the entire world why I have hated you and your sister for years now. After threatening to kill a tennis official because a call didn't go her way, she's been spinning around her story and making excuses since this happened. I have no respect for you and I am glad you finally showed your true colors. ...Question for Yankee fans: Doesn't watching Robinson Cano play drive you nuts? I can not help but thinking this guy is a lazy S.O.B. Not in the Soriano class of course, but this guy is as close as you'd want to get. I may yell at Posada a lot, but Cano is the guy I hate the most. ...The only good thing about yesterday's loss to Toronto was that Sergio Mitre played himself off the playoff roster. Thank God for that. ...Isn't it funny that every series that the Yankees play with Toronto they never miss facing Roy Halladay? Of course, it's not the same when the Blue Jays face Boston. The Blue Jays are this year's team that lays down when they face the Red Sox and go all out when they face the Yankees. ...If the Raiders keep playing like they did on Monday, they'll surprise people this year. I was able to watch the entire game on Monday since I was still laid up in the hospital and I had nothing to do anyways. It was a very tough loss. ...$%&* Tom Brady. ...I'm watching Sportscenter the other day and I see that they just launched a new website called ESPN.Boston.com. I almost threw the remote at the TV but then I remembered the hospital owned it and not myself. How do you like this? ESPN finally comes out and admits to the entire world they they favor Boston and they give them their own private website that concentrates on Boston sports. BULL FU**ING SH**. The MLB Network grovels to that city. ESPN grovels to them. Tell me why? ...Oh yeah, and so do the schedule makers. How right is it that the Yankees have to open up the 2010 season in Boston and close the 2010 season in Boston? Why is it that they make the Yankees do this but don't even consider making Boston do this. It must be nice having the commissioner in your back pocket. -

Updated to 9-6 ...The recovery part after the surgery is really taking a toll on me. I've never been so tired in my life. I'm up for a few hours and then I start to feel exhausted, and that means it's time to sleep some more. I think with all the sleep that I have missed over the past six months, I'm probably all caught up by now. ...I have a pain pill called Hydrocodone (Vicotin) that I try not to take because you can get hooked on it. ...It's my hope that I never have to go through this again. Now I know what it means to be on the receiving end of a blindside tackle. ...I know a lot of you love college football, but for me it's going to be another season of ignoring it completely. ...The only football team I worry about is the Raiders and that's fine by me. ...I'll admit that I was very puzzled by the trade for Jerry Hairston, Jr but I'm not anymore. I'm impressed with the versatility that this guy brings to the Yankees. And he is a huge upgrade from last year's versatile guy Wilson Betemit, who excelled at nothing during his Yankee tenure. ...Derek Jeter is very close to breaking the all time hit record for a Yankee player. He should pass Lou Gehrig sometime this week. I just hope he realizes that Gehrig would have had a lot more hits had he not been struck ill in 1939. ...Nice to see good guy Jason Giambi hook up with the Rockies and be productive for them. ...Another example of the huge difference between the two leagues. Jose Contreras, the Cuban pitcher who couldn't get anyone out, gets traded to Colorado and in his first start goes 6 2/3 innings and gives up 8 hits for the win. I never understood with all the good stuff that guy has he is not a winner. ...Thank you Mark Kotsay. -

Updated to 8-30 ...I did not mean to let this go for a few weeks and not post anything in here, but I think I have a good excuse as to why. I've been in the hospital for a week and now I have been home for a week recovering. ...A hernia combined with a small bowel obstruction equals severe abdominal pain. It will make you (reluctantly) go to the emergency room and then be told hours later that you need surgery. Not what I was expecting. ...So, as a result, on the 18th I had surgery and had to spend the rest of that week in the hospital. ...It's true you don't get rest in a hospital but you can't blame the nurses. If you have a semi-private room, there's your biggest problem. The visitors for my different roommates while I was there talked and carried on like they were at a picnic. LOUD. ...The people that come in and take blood from you try to fool you when they say "this won't hurt a bit." Oh yes it does. Every time. ...But I do have to say right here that the people that work in a hospital are special. They do a great job and they really helped me a lot. I'm especially thinking about my time in the surgical ICU with those nurses there who helped me walk around the day after the surgery. ...I had to go five straight days without drinking, which was just as hard as the operation itself. ...The time where it is really slow in a hospital is the early morning hours. Many times you can't sleep and all you can do is listen to the sounds around you. ...Remember that Friday night game in Boston between the Yankees and Red Sox? The game the Yankees won 20-11? Well, I watched it until the game started to actually hurt me. Back when the Yankees were winning 15-5, the Red Sox were threatening. They had the bases loaded off of Pettitte and all I could think of was "grand slam and the game is going to be 15-9 and that's close enough for a comeback." I was moving around so much in bed then that I popped off my heart monitors and the nurses had to come in and put them back on. They wanted to know what was causing the problem and I told them it was Andy Pettitte. They asked me to change the channel so I could calm down. So, I did. I put it on USA and watched the latest episode of Monk and then everything was back to normal. ...I got released on the 22nd in the afternoon and I have been home ever since. Still can't be here on a regular basis as before because I'm always tired and I have a hard time moving around right now and getting up. I have this binder on me right now that really limits mobility. ...I had to catch up on a lot of pages when I first came back here. It's amazing what you miss. ...Now I will go back and lay down since it is still only 5:30 am and I need more rest. I can't sleep through the night yet. -
Please send me a PM right now Athletics4ever.

Updated to 8-9 ...The movie Funny People is one of the top movies across the country right now and I'm amazed as to why that is. It wasn't that good of a movie and it really wasn't that funny at all. Not even my wife, who is a huge Adam Sandler fan, thought it was that great. ...Why the secrecy of who claimed Alex Rios? ...Yankee fans should be very happy about how this current series with you-know-who is going, but it's still just a series in early August and there are a lot of games to be played. ...Former Blue Jay Josh Towers didn't have a long stay with the Yankees yesterday. He took a taxi to the ballpark and he should have told the driver to wait. He's already gone. ...The Red Sox had their "Futures at Fenway" game at their ballpark yesterday. It's a game where one of their minor league affiliates play at Fenway Park for a day and there are reduced ticket prices to attend the game. The Red Sox have been doing this for a few years now and it is probably one of the best ideas in all of baseball. ...Did David Ortiz do steroids or not? What do I know and most importantly, what does it matter? All I care about with this guy is that the Yankees get him out. ...One thing you do have to realize about Ortiz is that he is going to have a lot of people on his side for this just because of the kind of person he is. He does not have a Barry Bonds personality, that is to say he's not a jerk. He doesn't have the attitude of Roger Clemens, who wasn't that well liked even before his steroid problems. Like him or hate him, this guy is well liked by his fanbase because of the kind of person he is off the field. ...Women and beer. Bad combination. Just ask these two female Cardinal fans. They had too much Budweiser and then they pushed an old Busch Stadium usher out of his wheelchair. Maybe the Cardinals should stop beer sales after the second inning from now on or just ban these two from the ballpark for the next 50 or 60 years. ...Went to my first baseball game of the year one week ago today. Saw the AAA team of the Philadelphia Phillies play, the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. Former Blue Jay Gustavo Chacin pitched for them and did pretty well. The Red Wings won it on the Iron Pigs bullpen in the bottom of the ninth. ...For some reason, the National Anthem sounds better in person when you are at a ballgame. And of course, the hot dogs taste better too. I'll vouch for that. Twice. :lol: -

Updated to 8-2 ...Man was this a tough week! Worrying about the trade deadline and wondering if the Yankees were going to pull off another blockbuster trade by acquiring someone they didn't really need while mortgaging their farm system again. Thank the Lord this didn't happen this year. ...But at the same time, why Jerry Hairston, Jr? Where the hell did that come from? ...And the Yankees are playing bad once again. At least I know where the hell that came from. This team is a bunch of pretenders. ...Hey DJ, it's past the trading deadline. Who's your team now? Don't pick the Yankees, they'll drive you nuts. ...How about those Pirates? Too bad for them the trade deadline didn't extend another day or so. Then they would have had time to trade the rest of their farm system. ...Yesterday, Andrew McCutchen of Pittsburgh hit three home runs in a 11-6 victory over Washington. Watch for this guy to be traded in the off season. ...Every GM in baseball was greedy during this trading period except of course when dealing with Theo Epstien of the Red Sox. Then they gave him what he wanted without a fight. ...Yeah Indians, I'm talking about you. ...Whatever happened to Ben Sheets? ...Still waiting for Matt Garza to be suspended for admitting he hit Mark Teixeira of the Yankees in a game last week. ...David Ortiz made news back in February saying that if a player gets caught doing steroids he should be banned for a year. Now, he should eat his own words and ask for an indefinite leave of absence. ...The smartest thing pitchers can do right now when facing Matt Holliday of St. Louis is to walk him. ...Thirty years today for Thurman Munson. :( -

Updated to 7-26 ...Amazing isn't it? Here it's the 26th of July already and once again the month of July flies by. ...Now I'm getting a bit worried. The trade deadline is getting closer and closer and the Yankees haven't done anything yet. I am always concerned that they are going to get rid of too much in a trade. ...One of these years the Pirates are not going to make any trades at the trade deadline and they'll shock baseball fans everywhere. ...Stay Halladay, stay! ...Last year the Yankees started out after the All-Star break with an eight game winning streak. This year, same thing. As a Yankee fan I am hoping this is where history stops repeating itself. ...To be honest, I had little faith in yesterday's game because Andy Pettitte was on the mound and this year he's been terrible at Yankee Stadium. In fact, he's just terrible. ...Hall of Fame Day today. And that's one place that I do not want to be. Thousands and thousands of people coming together in that one little village? No thanks. ...Took a boat ride yesterday on the Erie Canal, something I've never done before. It was very nice taking the ride and listening to the history of the Canal. The only thing I didn't like about the ride was three little bastard kids who kept running up and down the boat making noise and disrupting people. ...Anyone who has not seen Public Enemies yet with Johnny Depp. It's about the story of John Dillinger and his bank robbing ways in the 1930's. I won't spoil anything about it except to say that it was worth going to. ...Every public preview from the Sandbox Games crew so far has looked great and it increases the anticipation for this game. -
I understand what you mean. The song can be any song you wish to put in it. It's your choice. It also can be as long or short as you want. For example I have a six minute song in there and another one is only a couple of minutes. For the length of the song when you put it into LOCLOOK, take a look at the first post in this thread. I have a few songs that run a little over the allotted space and you can see how it looks as a finished product. But the bottom line is it still works.
-
Yes it will. It will work for any conversion mod out there and the original 2005 game itself (a copy that I am guessing that you mean have no mods installed yet.) All this is is changing the songs and putting the ones in that you want and in the proper format for the game.
-
Not a problem. Glad it worked out well for you.
-
You must have done something wrong because LOCLOOK will open up the .LOC files in Mvp baseball. They are in your DATA directory. EDIT: Any questions with this, let me know in this thread. I will be back later on and I'll try to help. Or maybe before hand someone will jump in and show you.

I think you are misunderstanding what this is. The subscription fee is for the payment for the server costs each month that this website has. 100% of the money goes to that and only that. Unfortunately this has come to pass here. Check out how many members we have here. As I write this there are 75,092 members and most of them contribute nothing to the running of the website. But, this is your opinion and that's how it is.

That is what I like to call the dshibshm doctrine.
-
I wouldn't even do that. Do what Jim825 does and that is announce nothing. When you give out a target release date for something and you do not release it on that date, you will hear about it from people in here. Jim announces nothing and says nothing about the mod he is working on and the way you find out about it is when you log on here and see it listed in the newest downloads. That's the best way to go.

Thank you. That is what I am concerned about too, whether I will not listen to it enough. Maybe I'll just keep the radio off if there is no other options. I sure as hell could care less about that Limbaugh guy. -

Updated to 7-19 ...This is my favorite part of Sunday morning where I wake up early to let the dogs out and then after that I can sit back and take it easy while the wife is still asleep. I just love the quiet. ...Sure as hell won't get any this week because she's on vacation for the whole week. ...I've been looking at the advantages of XM radio. If anyone has it, let me know how you like it. ...I'll tell you why I'm looking at XM radio. Since I am home I'd like to have the radio on while I am doing things around the house just to listen to something and the only radio show that is on every day in the afternoons is the Rush Limbaugh show and there's no way I'm going to listen to that idiot. ...Yesterday was old timers day at Yankee Stadium. No one does that event as well as the Yankees. ...And I still can't wait for the day when Jorge Posada joins that roster. ...I'm hoping for a strong second half for the Yankees but at the same time I am not forgetting how they started out last year right after the All-Star break. They won eight in a row and then that was that. They slumped for the rest of the year and didn't make the playoffs. Partly it was due to lack of pitching and partly it was due to the laziness of Robinson Cano, who I still dislike to this day. ...Here's hoping that Toronto demands every top prospect the Yankees or Red Sox have for Roy Halladay. Even better, here's hoping they don't trade him. ...Wouldn't it be funny if Soriano got traded at the trade deadline this year? That would do nothing but help the Cubs. ...I just love my Five-O season six DVD set. I'm already done with disc one. :) -
OTBJoel, what would consist of testing this mod out for you? Let me know.

I think I'm only going to serve tea on rare occasions now because the price of it went up. As for my PbP's of the Yankees, they'll be back once I can convince myself of watching them on TV again. Damn straight!! I mean WTF? That was true for every Front Page Sports Baseball game. Some things were impressive but at the same time it was hard to play because they did such a bad job. No and hell no. Not that I don't mind looking a some beautiful twenty-something blonde jumping up and down in a short skirt, but this does not belong in major league baseball. No room for it. Keep it in the NFL and in college. -

Updated to 7-12 ...No random update last week because one week ago today I was still down at my wife's hometown visiting the people that live there while at the same time anxiously awaiting to leave. ...If any of you guys want to experience what true boredom is like, visit Binghamton, New York once in your life. You won't be able to get out of there fast enough. ...When we got there, I thought we were going to have to stay longer because the serpentine belt in our car broke and we had to get a tow into Binghamton. Fortunately I have AAA Plus so I got free towing, but I still had to pay 85 dollars for a new belt. *&$**&(() ...And that is why this Sunday is so much better than the last one! ...Oh no! Is that the Angels team in the other dugout? We're going to lose! That's what it looks like to me when the Yankees are faced up against this team. ...I did not watch yesterday's game on FOX, but I read about it. You have to beat the Angels with good starting pitching and that is what the Yankees did not do both nights. Joba screwed up again and Pettitte has shown that he does not have it anymore. That's why the Yankees lost. ...If Brian Cashman offers Pettitte another contract for 2010, he should be fired immediately. ...The other night (Friday) I listened to part of the Yankee game on the radio in my backyard. I only listened to the first three innings, which was ok because the Yankees were winning. Then I went to bed because I was exhausted. If I'd had listened to the whole game outside (a 10-6 Yankee loss) the neighbors near me would have called the cops. ...If anyone wants to spend the All Star game here on this site like we did last year, you are all welcome. Last year we had a bunch of people in the chat room while the game was on and it was a lot of fun. ...Roy Halladay is a heckuva pitcher and the Blue Jays should only trade him if they have to. Sure, I'd love to see him in a Yankee uniform, but I don't want the Yankees to mortgage the farm system for him. We are finally building it back up to respectability to mess it up now. ...In case some of you were wondering about me, I've had some things to deal with outside of here that I had to take care of and partly because of what was going on I could not do my job properly here on this site, so I was temporarily removed from this position here. Now that everything is at a point where I can not go further with it, I can let you all know what was going on. I've been home since January and I've been trying to get back to work as quickly as possible but it has got to the point where I can't return now and now I will be forced to have a disability retirement. This is something I did not expect to happen to me, but it has and I have to deal with it. -

Updated to 6-28 ...Happy 35th birthday Derek Jeter, two days ago now. His present to the Yankees was not playing on that day, therefore avoiding grounding into another double play. ...Sure wish June would get done. Haven't watched a Yankee game since the second game of the Mets series at Yankee Stadium. ...With the recent flu bug that is going around on the Yankees, I kind of wish someone would sneeze on Chien-Ming Wang. ...The recent death of Michael Jackson and the media attention it has been receiving reminds me of when Elvis Presley died in 1977...almost. Just consider all the press this is getting and multiply it by ten for Elvis and then that should give you an idea how it was for the remainder of the year in '77. It was non-stop. ...My wife loves to watch NCIS and so do I, up to a point because I hate that DiNozzo guy. ...Wasn't around yesterday because I read two books, If I Never Get Back and the sequel to it, Two in the Field, both written by a man named Darryl Brock. It's a baseball/history book about a guy who gets sent back in time to 1869 and ends up playing for the original Cincinnati Red Stockings. I'll tell you no more about it just in case anyone's interested. ...Has anyone ever tried BS Player? I tried the free version some time ago and I liked it so much that I bought the Pro version, which is well worth it. ...Strange that we talked about this the other day in the shoutbox about why some people don't use Twitter or myspace or Facebook because someone asked me two days ago about joining Facebook to "keep up with me." We both live in the same city, so I told him that if he wants to do that he can send e-mail or pick up a phone. I won't bother with Facebook. ...This is going back a few years now, but does anyone remember a P2P file-sharing program released by Globalscape (the makers of CuteFTP) called CuteMX? I used to be on that a lot. Guess it just disappeared because it was during the time all that moaning and groaning was going on about downloading mp3's. ...I can promise you all that you will have a better time on the Fourth of July than I will because I will be out of town being bored out of my mind. That's right, another in-law trip.
