Updated to 1-25 ...When it was up to 42 degrees here on Friday (the 23rd) it was higher than the temperatures of the previous week combined. Now that's cold no matter how you look at it. ...Just one month ago it was Christmas day. And some people are still paying for it. ...Don't you hate it when you go to someplace like McDonalds for instance and the person in front of you acts like this is the first time they've been there? ...Saw "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" the other day. It was pretty good. Kevin James is always funny. ...I have no problem with Kurt Warner. In fact, I think it's a great story of how he came to the NFL ten years back after working in a supermarket. I just don't want his wife getting a lot of air time like she did the first time he went to the Super Bowl. Talk about annoying. ...Scott Boras is having a hard time selling Manny Ramirez. Can you blame him? He quit on the Red Sox last year and now he's trying to get teams to buy in that they need him. The sad thing is though someone will bite. ...Brett Favre announced his retirement the other day......from online poker. ...Come on Raiders, make Tom Cable the head coach and be on with it. ...I've lost a lot of respect for Andy Pettitte after he didn't sign that ten million dollar contract offer. He did nothing last year except give up a lot of runs. I understand that ten million dollars is not enough for the Pettitte family. They might have to resort to cutting coupons if he signed for that amount. ...Here's a little plug for Dylan Bradbury's calculator utilities that he has for the game. Try them out and you'll really like them. I believe there's about four different programs and each one of them can help you run a better dynasty.

No, I'll bring them in on the joke just in case they read the topic of your thread close enough. It's ok.

Hahahahaha! :lol: :lol: Now, when I get PM's sent to me asking where the 09 mod can be downloaded at, I have only myself to blame. Have fun man, and I hope you win all your games.

You know what you should do is edit your topic on this thread and say you are playing this dynasty on the 09 mod. Hahahaha

Oh, the inquiries that this is going to bring!! Your sense of detection serves you well. I just can't lock this thread! I can't do it. I'm enjoying reading about your dynasty. You're doing a great job. Tell you what...the next time you play the Yankees, bean A-Rod in the head.

You're winning and Joe Rudi isn't??? I ought to lock this thread right now. :(

In that case my friend, I don't mind being on the outside looking in.

There is a place for hip-hop though. Get a few of those songs and use them to wake you up for work or school in the mornings. You're guaranteed not to hit the snooze button.

Hold it, hold it!!!!!! Is there a difference between hip-hop and hip-pop or did superciuc just do a typo?

Sure, just about anything from that time period. Early Def Leppard too.

I listen to classic Rock, not classical music. Classic Rock like Van Halen, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Guns n Roses, Early AC DC, Judas Priest, etc. I do not listen to any of the new crap. I saw them years ago. Just wish I could have seen them when Bon Scott was there.

Updated to 1-18 ...Anyone notice that I've spent a lot of time here the past few days? That's because I haven't been working. When the weather gets into the subzero temperatures, my knees do not like it and they let me know it. Let's just say it hasn't been a pleasant and fun few days and we'll leave it at that. ...But I did have to go out on Wednesday because I had to go and get dog food. So I took a trip down into YankeexDev territory and went to BJ's wholesale club in Webster. It was around 9 am and I got in and out. It was freezing. About five degrees outside and God knows what the wind chill was. But the oddest thing I saw was when I left that store. Some guy was wearing sandals. You know, the shoes that have the feet completely exposed? You wear them in the summer. And people criticize kids because of what they wear! ...My wife got a new iPod for her birthday (an iTouch one) and now I am the proud owner of her hand-me-down one. It's an 8 gig one that plays video and audio. I have to take off all the songs she had on it because there's no way I'm listening to country music and Elvis. ...Same goes for hip-hop. Sorry Mark. I did listen to one hip-hop song a few years back for you and just recently my headache went away. ...I am going to miss Circuit City. I always enjoyed going there and spending time just looking around. I love electronics. ...I wonder if the MLB Network is going to have a reality show? Everyone else seems to. ...Right now all I see from those people is that they repeat everything over and over again. It's like they are having a hard time filling 24 hours so they have to repeat the same 1991 Cubs-Pirates game. Put another one on. Have some variety. ...I see that one of my favorite punching bags received a huge 41 million dollar contract extension from a team that I don't care to mention right now. One thing I'll admit right now: he'll probably earn it unlike Robinson Cano, who stole money last year from the Yankees. ...If Roger Clemens ends up in jail he will be the one who put himself there. ...Oh yeah. The NFL Championship games. Like I care. I don't like anything from Philadelphia so I won't root for them. The Steelers I can't root for so there you have it. And if these two teams win today, so what? ...I am more interested on who is going to be the next Oakland coach. I'm hoping that Tom Cable comes back. ...The next movie I want to see is that Kevin James one, Mall Cop. Let me know if anyone here has seen it.

Now that's a good one.

Updated to 1-11 ...It is a helpless feeling to watch snow fall when you can't do a thing about it. ...The Cardinals are going to the NFC Championship game? That's a story in itself. ...Makes me have wild and crazy thoughts about the Raiders now. ...I'd like to wish shiftless and lazy Rocco Baldelli good luck in Boston but I just can't do it. ...The updates by Pirate and TheBigO on their respective stadiums are beautiful. Thank you to both of them. ...Tomorrow we find out if Jim Rice gets in the Hall of Fame. I vote no. But I have no vote, so it doesn't matter if he does or doesn't. ...Speaking of the Hall, I am in the planning stages of a trip there in the middle of July. The snow should be gone then. ...Please Money Ramirez, go back to the Dodgers. They actually want you. ...It's been on eleven days now. How do you all like the MLB Network? I've never heard of Trenni Kusnierek, but that doesn't stop me from watching her. And my first impression of Hazel Mae is not a good one. ...Welcome back Monk and Psych.

They didn't.

Updated to 1-4 ...Sorry there was no entries last week in this thread but I was kind of indisposed as I was in the hospital and had no access to a computer. ...I left the hospital happy to get out of there with a clean bill of health and two sore arms, courtesy of the IV team. ...There is nothing like the satisfaction of knowing the holidays are over and they are twelve months away again. ...My sympathies to the John Travolta family, who lost their son over the weekend. ...I think the Mark Teixeira press conference to introduce him to the press is going to be on Tuesday. I don't have to tell you how happy I am to have this guy on the team. It also meant that Giambi won't be back-and that's a plus too. ...I wonder why Derek Lowe, Manny Ramirez and Bobby Abreu have not been signed yet? ...Does anyone else get this network? It's called the G4 Network. It's on DirectTV and I've been watching it since I've been home. It's not bad. ...Don't look now but my Raiders won their last two games and are going to be going into the 2009 season looking better than they did at the beginning of this one. ...What a shame that Peyton Manning has to go home again after another loss in the playoffs. ...My early review of the MLB Network is that it's not that good but that's just based on what is on now. They keep on repeating the same stuff. I'm sure that once spring training starts next month that this network is really going to shine. ...I'm hoping everyone who reads this thread has a great new year.

I don't think you can but this is a good idea. I don't really mind listening to Kuiper but this Krukow guy is the one that gets on my nerves with his dumb comments like Meat and Big Boy.

Thank you for making me aware of these font changes. I overlooked them.

Updated to 12-21 ....Thank God. It's almost over. The best thing about Christmas for me is when it finally gets here and is all done. ...One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to watch "A Christmas Carol" or any version of it that is played on TV. ...I finished my shopping on Thursday night before the storm hit and I was lucky to do that. I go to a mall out in nearby Victor, New York called Eastview and they have wall to wall cars and traffic there even in the summer. ...I hope everyone who is unlucky like me to live here in the eastern part of the country was able to dig themselves out of that storm we got on Friday. Here's a sad thought: It's not even officially winter yet on the calendar. This is just a sneak preview of it. :cry: ....Do I really have to say how much I envy you guys who don't live in this area? ...Playing MVP is really going to help me get through this winter, just like it did last year. Last winter was easier though because I was home with my knee surgery. ...Don't count me in as someone who's doing backflips because the Yankees got Sabathia and Burnett. I still see holes in that lineup. I don't trust the Yankee hitters and I hate the second baseman. ...One thing I'm wondering about something the Mets did. If they went out and signed a closer in Frankie Rodriguez, why did they have to go and trade for another one in JJ Putz? ...Manny, go back to the Dodgers, ok? ...Aww, the Cowboys lost yesterday. That sucks. I'm sure timay, wherever he is, has a few good excuses thought up already.

Oh....that's funny. :lmao:

Updated to 12-14 ...A big welcome back to MarkB, who's been gone since November 15th. I was worried because I thought his neighbors finally got so fed up of having to listen to that hip-hop music that they banded together and got rid of poor guy because of it. ...Ouch. That's what I said on the 11th when I got my latest cortisone shot in my knee. I can't stress more to you guys here to take care of your knees so you won't have these problems. End of lecture. ...It was a slow night here at Mvpmods last night. How slow? SeanO did not release a stadium. ...Every time I play in a new ballpark that one of the modders makes it is like playing a brand new game. I love this game. ...There's ten shopping days left until Christmas. Good. I just want this done. ...No matter how well you plan for this holiday you always end up forgetting to do something. Right now I'm ok, but I still got a lot of time to mess it up. :whistle: ...Forgive me if I hold back any praise for the signings of Sabathia and Burnett to the Yankees. Games have to be won on the field. The offense is still the same and that's inconsistent. I refuse to get excited about this team until I see results that show me that I should be. ...I still think Mark Teixeira is a key signing for them and he's the one I'd really want. ...I'm hoping the Detroit Lions don't go winless this year. ...Are Blu-Ray players worth it? Can anyone tell the difference?

I remember hearing the announcement while watching Monday Night Football.

Updated to 12-7 ...It's now sixty-seven years since the attack on Pearl Harbor and to me this is as much a day of reflection as September 11 is. I've been at the Memorial a few times myself when I lived out there and believe me it is quite a site to see. RIP. ...Yes I regret leaving Oahu. ...At least today is good for HFLR, since he's celebrating his birthday today. Happy Birthday Hector and I hope you have a wonderful day! Other major league players that were born on your birthday were Johnny Bench, Tino Martinez, Eric Chavez and Ryan Theriot, just to name a few. ...I hope there's not going to be any fuss about A-Rod wanting to play for the Dominican team in the World Baseball Classic. I'm not really concerned about this at all. First of all, who gives a *&%$ about the WBC? Secondly, it may be funny to watch all the Dominican fans get bent out of shape after they see A-Rod choke every time he's at bat and there's a runner on in scoring position because we know daaaaammmnnn well he's not going to do anything. ...Missing persons alert: MarkB's gone and can't be found. The best admin on this website hasn't been around lately. I blame the hip-hop music. ...The speculation about whether Sabathia will go to the Yankees or not is something you deal with during the off-season because there's not much news to begin with. But at least you can hope a decision is made soon. What I really want is someone (like Philadelphia) to scoop up AJ Burnett. They deserve some bad luck. ...I got to go Christmas shopping soon and I dread it. For someone who hates crowds, this is a tough thing to do. ...Hey, it could be worse, right? I could be working at a place like Walmart and I've have to deal with it every day. ...Cheers for DJEagles being home now and reunited with his family after being gone for some time working out of town. Good luck with your new baby! ...If I hear "The Twelve Days of Christmas" one more time I am going to break something.

DiehardYankee26, this is someone else's dynasty. How about not trying to take it over?

Updated to 11-30 ...Came back home last night from the Thanksgiving holiday that we spent out of town. There's nothing like sleeping in your own bed. ...Every time I complain about going to work I can say I could have it worse. I could be having time off and be down at my wife's hometown. I have never spent a fun and interesting day down there. ...My wife and her two sisters and their mother were looking through the ads on Thanksgiving day like they were battle plans. Not one thing was missed. ...I did not go near a store on Black Friday. ...What economic recession? We drove into the Waterloo Premium Outlet Mall (a place that has over 100 stores) on the way back home to pick up something and that place was full. I wanted to get out of there as quick as possible. ...The games that I watched (the Detroit and the Dallas game) were terrible. I did not watch the Cardinal one. The Detroit Lions ruin every Thanksgiving. ...A middle finger is extended to all the tractor trailer drivers on the New York state Thruway last night. Those selfish *&*()^& acted like they were the only ones out there. What a profession! If you are an as*****, you can drive a truck. ...On Wednesday when I left town I got gas for $2.15. When I got home it was down to $2.09. That's nice! ...Why did Plaxico Burress have a gun with him in a nightclub and why was he so stupid to shoot himself in the leg? You know darn well the Giants are going to get rid of him now. ...Best of luck to Lane Kiffin, the new head coach of the University of Tennessee.
