You can search the web, and it gives the latest downloads and posts on Mvpmods. It also is a e-mail notifier and it has the local temperature.

No, that made perfect sense to me. They finally showed a little life. Maybe it will start something.

Updated to 5-20 ...What a "vacation." Let's just say it was unique and leave it at that. I just hope the next one in August is a lot better. ...One thing I always notice when I am on vacation is that there are a ton of people out and about that have nothing to do. That's their everyday life and I only get to share in it every once in awhile. Well yeah, I'm jealous. ...Uninspired. Listless. Lazy. Lackadaisical. No, I'm not talking about Alfonso Soriano this time. I'm talking about New York Yankees. That's exactly how they've been playing. :headache: ...I won't lie to anyone in saying I am not worried about how this season is going so far because I am. ...Tyler Clippard starts tonight for the Yankees, another rookie. I just hope he doesn't break a leg or a finger. That's just how this season has been going. ...I would like to thank DJeagles for his time as a Yankee fan and would hope that he would spend equal time soon being a Red Sox fan. ...This Mvpmods toolbar is a great addition to my Firefox browser. Give it a shot! ...The audio in Mvp Baseball has always been very important to me. Not counting the announcers of course, the two audio mods I use and recommend to get the most enjoyment out of this game is UncleMo's best dang mod and the Organ mod made by someone called The_Betz. If you use both of them in 07 you won't be sorry. ...I think I might give Virtua Tennis 3 for PC a shot when it comes out. ...Next week I will be out of town at this time so if someone can come in here and do this, I would appreciate it. All are welcome, of course. Have a great week.

I beg of you to have a David Ortiz avatar as soon as possible.

Updated to 5-13 ...The only team in baseball that can identify with what the Yankees have been going through this year with injuries are the Blue Jays, who've had enough injuries to last two baseball seasons so far. ...And yet Boston doesn't get hurt at all. Their time is coming. ...I survived my cortisone shot on Wednesday afternoon, Thank God. ...Heck yeah, my vacation is going good so far. I've done nothing but watch baseball and drink iced tea. ...Had a overload of Star Wars yesterday. The first five movies were shown on Cinemax yesterday and I watched most of them, taking time off to sleep. I still got to say my favorite was The Empire Strikes Back. ...I should explain that I'm someone that enjoys watching those movies, that's it. I'm not one of those people that collect everything about Star Wars. I don't have an official Star Wars coffee cup or an official Star Wars pillow. That's just nuts. ...Interleague play starts soon. I can't stand it. The Yankees got to play six games against the Mets and the Red Sox have to play no games against the Mets. ...Good for Scott Proctor not to appeal his four game suspension, just get it done. And the next time hit that hot dog Bentacourt right in the head. ...Why? Because I hate the Mariners. ...And, don't forget, Happy Mother's Day to all your mothers out there, whether they are with you or not.

Updated to 5-6 ...It's within my grasp now. That's right, a vacation for me is coming up. I work the first three days this week and I got a week and a half off. I believe I am up to the task of doing nothing all day. ...After work on Wednesday I have to go for a cortisone shot in my right knee. I am not looking forward to that at all. I dislike needles for one, and that shot, at least for me, is painful. ...One guy I really feel bad for is Carl Pavano. I understand everyone's frustration with him, but being injured like this is the very last thing he wanted to have happen. And if it is Tommy John surgery, say goodbye to 2008. ...I'd like to see the Yankees go through an entire week of not getting hurt. Am I asking too much? ...Paris Hilton's going to jail for 45 days. Am I the only one that finds this funny? ...I saw this tornado video on youtube from two days ago in Oklahoma. It's a very clear video of the tornado itself. The only bad part about it is the commentary of the guy who is taking it. This is as close to a tornado as I want to be. ...Ping to JoeyMcM93, Tribetime and Thug4Life. Where have you guys been? ...Who's this Hunter Pence guy from Houston and why's he so special? I never heard of him. ...So Ichiro's a free agent?? Very interesting. ...Ok, who's seen Spiderman 3 yet? Any reviews for those of us who haven't seen it yet? Is it worth it?

Updated to 4-29 ...Thank you Raiders for drafting Jamarcus Russell in yesterday's NFL draft. I hope this is a start that turns the fortunes of the team around. The last few years have been unwatchable. ...The collective sigh of relief you heard late yesterday afternoon came from the Yankee fans right after they saw their favorites finally win a game. ...It is amazing to see how so many Yankee fans (on this site and those you come in contact with away from here) who are quick to throw in the towel because of this bad streak of baseball that they are playing. ...Hey, at least this makes the people at ESPN happy. They are always a fair and truthful bunch over there. ...You know the main thing I hate about the Yankee-Red Sox games? It's how long the games are! Screw that with the 3 1/2 hour games. ...I went to see the new Nicholas Cage movie last night called Next. It was great and as an added attraction, Jessica Beil was in it. ...Spiderman 3 comes out this Friday (May 4) and that's going to be the first blockbuster of the movie season. Unless of course you consider Will Ferrell's latest clunker one. ...Good Lord, that's my version of hell. Watching a Will Ferrell movie followed up by Ben Stiller at his finest. :lala: ...I love my .mp3 player. I don't know if my wife does because I drown her out. :laff: ...Finally, this past week I did some reading on the new Madden game that is supposed to come out in the summer. Madden 08 has Vince Young on the cover. Well, I was reading some of the things that they have in there (new signature moves) and basically this game looks like 07. And 07 looked like 06. Oh well, EA's got nothing to worry about. People will buy this game for the name itself and not for what's in it.

Updated to 4-22 ...These last two games at Fenway Park have been terrible and tonight doesn't look any better either. The Yankees are too beat up right now. ...And I think people are over reacting too much about Mariano Rivera. He goes through tough periods like this every so often, usually at the start of the season. ...Man, things have been good in Alfonso Soriano's world lately. He's been hurt so he couldn't play. That meant he didn't have to make any effort to do anything and he still got paid. ...Yes, I do hate that guy as much as you think I do. ...Try out the new song lyric thread located also in this left field forum area. Basically you give a song lyric and have the others guess the song. I've only been able to guess one song so far, so I'm not that good. ...This Virginia Tech incident is still on my mind. ...The weather around here was fantastic yesterday. Hardly anyone was in their house because it was so nice out. I really believe that the people who live in the Northeast part of this country (and believe me, this is a terrible area to live in) know how to enjoy good weather better than anyone around simply because we hardly get any of it. ...Maybe it's just me, but take a look at Manny Ramirez' hair the next chance you get. To me it looks terrible. ...Vacation countdown: three more weeks until the promised land. ...Don't forget to tune into the sig competition here and at EAmods. The artistic work from these guys who compete in it will amaze you.

You know something UncleMo? I won't send you a PM since I made this comment here in public, so I will put my response out here in public. Sometimes when you try to be funny, it turns out not to be the case. This is how it was here. I have no out and out purpose to "stir the pot" as you say, but it sure as heck looked like it on your end of things, and for that I am sorry. I can fully understand your surprise when you read it and the questions you brought forth because of it. For that, I am sorry. I am also sorry for this poor attempt at humor and for it being directed at you. What I will do is go and edit my post and take out that word for you. Enjoy your week man, and again I am sorry.

My guess is that no one wants to stick their neck out and take chances. They just want to do what they can to get by.

Updated to 4-15 ... What a difference a week makes. Last week I was bored out of my mind on Easter Sunday, away from home, no computer, no laptop, nothing at all. It's like I was transported back to 1979. Thank God I'm home. ...Yesterday's Yankee win over Oakland (or should I say earlier this morning) in 13 innings was a game that showed how good this bullpen can be. And if Darrell Rasner had some decent defense behind him, he would have won the game. Too bad I didn't see Giambi's homer, since I was fast asleep. ...Speaking of errors, Jeter now has five on the season. Go figure. ...Total Classics Phase 7 is out and it is just as good, if not better, then I was expecting. Grab that mod today and you will love it. ...Nice to see that Pacman Jones jackass being suspended for the 2007 season. ...What a way to start the season Alfonso Soriano, you crook. A .233 average, no homeruns and one RBI. Yeah, you are worth 136 million.. :w00t: ...Isn't it about time for Britney Spears to get back in the spotlight by doing something outrageous? Who knows what she'll come up with next? ...R.I.P Don Ho, a good man who made tourists welcome from all over the world to a place that I really miss. ...I am very worried about this storm that is supposed to be coming tonight or early tomorrow. I hope it misses us completely. If it has to storm, let it be in Boston. :loco: ...Welcome RaptorQuiz to the staff. I'm sure everyone here on the forums will wish you luck, with the exception of UncleMo. Don't worry man, you got it made. Mark and I get the blame for everything. :gack:

Updated to 4-8 (really 4-9) ...Thank God I am home. I don't like driving long periods of time and for me that means more than twenty minutes. ...I'm walking like a mummy right now because I slept for two nights on a bed that should have been thrown out twenty years ago. ...I had to watch more of the PGA golf yesterday than the Yankee game. It's just another example of the bad weekend I had. ...There was more snow on the way down there then there was in December when we went for Christmas. ...What's Easter dinner without having leg of lamb? I found out yesterday. ...I'd rather be a Red Sox fan than live in my wife's hometown. Think about that for a second. ...I didn't complain about everything this weekend. I mean, we left on time today to come home. ...I was able to log on here for about five minutes yesterday. But then the computer was taken over because someone had to play some new music videos. ...Is TC 7 close to coming out yet? ...Ok, time for a nap. I am bushed.

Updated to 4-1 ...It's here! Opening day (well really opening night) for Major League Baseball. Even though I won't be able to watch the Yankees live until Wednesday, I am going to be watching as much baseball as I can this week. :stickman: ...I am up in the air right now about buying the MLB Extra Innings package. The good thing about it is that I can see a lot of games but the reality of it is that I only tune into YES. ...Count me in for someone who is happy that Carl Pavano is pitching tomorrow for the Yanks. We need him because he does have a good right arm. ...Each year at this time I try to think of something nice to say about the Red Sox because of the start of another season. Right now I can't think of anything. ...Every once in awhile I play non-sports games. I just got this game from a website called Big Fish Games and this game is called Abra Academy. You have to go around looking for hidden objects in a picture. It's a good looking game as you can see by that screenshot. ...Today's April Fools Day, which immediately makes me think of Alfonso Soriano, the clown prince of laziness. ...If I have to beg you Mr. Fuzzone, I will. Please release Total Classics Phase 7. You and TeamFUZZ are the best. ...Forget it, I can't think of anything nice to say about the Red Sox. :wall: ...Oh, A-Rod? Knock the cover off the ball this year so you shut up those people who boo for no reason at all. ...Next week I may not be here for the Random Thoughts, so you guys just can handle it then without me. I might be going out of town for Easter, but it is not certain yet.

Nice idea. Good job. Yeah, I guess so. But what's stopping Ace152 (the guy who posted this thought) from posting Royals photos himself? I won't do it because of one reason. I hate the Royals.

Updated to 3-25 ...One week from today baseball season starts!! Isn't that great? It will be the Mets at the Cardinals at 8:05 pm EST. Probably on ESPN. Whatever happened to the Reds kicking off the season with a day game in Cincinnati? ...Probably the best uniform in the National Hockey League has to be the one the Montreal Canadians wear. Of course, many of you here will debate this. ...The only good thing about the injury to Chien-Ming Wang, if you can call it a good thing, is this hamstring injury happened right now instead of during the pennant race. ...The guy that wrote this article made some good points about the increased urgency of the Yankees getting Roger Clemens. Personally, I hope the guy stays retired because I'm sick of looking at him. ...It has been four straight days since I have walked on snow. What a nice feeling. ...Mvp baseball is at its most enjoyable when you are playing it against someone on here online. ...I tried Tiger Woods 2007 but I still like the Links series. Also, I have CD's full of courses for that game from here so I am all set. ...I don't like it when people come up to me and say "try this, you'll like it" when I know I don't. ...I have a niece on Saturday who will be turning twelve years old. Where has the time gone? ...The conclusion of the NCAA tournament is going to make the rest of this week fly by.

Updated to 3-18 ...From 60 degree weather on Tuesday to 20 degree weather today with almost a foot of snow. Yeah, that's the Northeast for you. Don't tell us who live here how much it sucks. (We already know.) ...For those of you who don't have the 1994 mod by Hory, take the time to download it and install it. You'll see how baseball was just thirteen years ago. It's a great mod. ...Good luck to Carter and Trues with that competition site that has gone up this week. Lot's of people joining! Get some games in and enjoy that new part of the site. ...No, I didn't join. ...Got to get a cortisone shot in my right knee in about a month. Not looking forward to that at all. ...I'm glad Gary Sheffield is not on the Yankees anymore. This guy never shuts up. ...College basketball to me is more fun to watch than the pro game. ...Do any of you guys think a major trade will happen with any team before opening day? ...The best times in your life are when you are in school. The problem is you don't realize it until that time has passed. ...Send a thanks to your favorite modder today. They are the reason why this site is here today.

For anyone who's curious as to what this means, check out the hi-res thread and go a few pages back. Mav3rek tried to add some funny captions to his pictures and I had the nerve to say in so many words that I didn't think it was funny. Apparently that was too much for him to handle, so now I'm the number one bad guy on someone else's list around here. If you don't like how things are here log off and don't come back. I've had it with people like you who don't have the guts to say what you mean and like to *(&)&^* about me. Go over to EAmods and make a thread about how bad you were mistreated because I didn't think you were funny. Yeah, I sent you a PM about this, but my intent was for you to just cool it in that thread and not to make it go off topic. If that's too much for you, again, get out.

Updated to 3-11 ...On Friday night I saw Wild Hogs, and to echo what DJEagles said, it was pretty funny. Well worth going to. And as an added bonus, the lovely Marisa Tomei is in that movie. ...During the previews I actually had to groan outloud because the totally unfunny Will Ferrell is coming out with yet another movie. This time he plays a figure skater. And like the last movie he made when he was a race car driver, I'll pass. ...This was one *(& fast week. I was on vacation. I loved it. I want more. ...Got Tiger Woods 2007 today. Looks pretty good. I am more used to playing Links, but I will give this a shot. ...It's nice to see that the Bernie Williams watch has gone off the New York writers minds. Move on. ...Can't say the same for Roger Clemens. He just "happened" to be at a Yankee spring game last week and the speculation started again. ...I have to thank you guys for adding to my photo collection in record numbers. ...The new stadiums made by Pirate, Paulw and SeanO recently are nothing short of a work of art. ...Contemplating a trip to Cooperstown in August. ...East coast residents, turn your clock ahead one hour today.

Updated to 3-4 ...I'm finally on vacation this week. I'll be staying warm, icing my knee, playing Mvp, watching DVD's and doing a whole lot of nothing. ...Congrats again to Raptor and PistonJ92. Trivia questions coming up in a PM box near you soon. ...The only thing I look for in Yankee Spring Training game is not the wins or losses but just to be sure no one gets hurt. ...And I am still hoping someone shows Kyle Farnsworth the door. ...Carl Pavano's first start is today and I got a feeling he's going to be a nice surprise for us this year. ...I think the Philadelphia Eagles made a mistake by letting Jeff Garcia go. ...The NFL draft is next month and already it has crossed my mind on how the Raiders will screw that up. ...I just can't wait for the first time Alfonso Soriano loafs on the ball field this season and Lou Piniella gets in his face. ...Calling out to MarkbtheYankee. Where the heck have you been? ...I have to say it one more time because I love it so much, I'm on vacation. :balloons: :stickman: :stickman:

Updated to 2-25 ...Now it's really starting to hit me! This week will be the first televised spring training game on Thursday, March 1st as the Yankees take on the Twins. It's at 1:00 pm on YES and the replay on at 7:00 pm. ...This will be a slow week for me because all I'll be doing is anticipating my vacation which will begin next week. I have a lot of activities planned next week for me and they all consist of doing nothing at all. I believe I can handle that. ...I'm really bored with this so called A-Rod and Jeter thing. So what they don't hang out as much as they did years ago? Do the writers realize that maybe one of the reasons now is that A-Rod is married now and has a kid? Before, both of them were single. Of course it is different now. ...Carl Pavano is one guy I am really pulling for this year. ...So Bernie Williams has decided to pout and stay home from spring training? I don't see the problem here. ...ValHaltren's hi-res photo thread on this site is the place to go to see some great photography. He along with a few others have been posting some pretty impressive pictures that I've been grabbing every day. Check it out right here if you get a chance, and get ready to right click and save. ...One day last week the temperature here got up to 41 degrees. That was the combined temperature of five days the week before. You know you got it bad when you are happy with forty degree temps. ...I got to get a cortisone shot in my knee soon and I am always afraid to do it because it hurts like hell. ...Only a few more days for the moderator contest for those interested. ...Finally, check out this photo from nearby Oswego, New York. I don't live there, thank God, but those poor people have been hit very bad by snow this year, as you can see by this photo. I never want to see snow like that in person, thank you.

Updated to 2-18 ...Baseball's back! Just check all the new articles in your favorite team's newspapers and you'll see. The NY Daily News and Post have a ton of Yankee articles now. ...Randy Johnson kindly explained to everyone in an article that the New York writers were to blame for his struggles in New York over the past two years. It's nice to know it was them instead of all the home run balls he was giving up. ...I wonder if Britney Spears shaved her head because she was sick of all the lice in it? ...Whenever I buy a DVD movie I go by what kind of extras are included on the disc. It's not enough for just the movie to be on it. ...No one, besides Joe Torre of course, has more pressure on him this season than Lou Piniella. The Cubs spent 317 million during the off season and they won't settle for another 96 loss season. Sure, it'll be funny if it happens, but that's another story. ...Last week around these parts in the terrible Northeast area of the states we had a storm. Some areas got up to two feet of snow in one day. My area just missed it by a few inches. [sarcasm on] Boy, we really got lucky. [/sarcasm off] ...Fuzzone, please release Total Classics 7. ...Someone should start a pool to pick the day Ken Griffey Jr. gets hurt this year for the first time. ...I don't care it was just the NBA team for that city and not the baseball team, but I enjoyed watching the Boston Celtics lose 18 games in a row. ...Again, only for those who are interested, there are only ten more days to participate in the moderator contest.

Updated to 2-11 ...Mvp Baseball 2007. Nothing more to say than that. Thank you one million times over to Krawhitham and his team of modders for this. ...All I need now is Total Classics Phase 7 and will compliment this mod perfectly. ...Very good Bernie Williams, don't accept that minor league contract from the Yankees. In fact, don't take anything and stay home. You are finally realizing what everyone else has known for awhile, and that is your time is done. ...Pitchers and catchers report this week. Man I feel good! And the first game is on March 1st against those *&%^& from Minnesota, and it will be on YES. ...Re-read "To Kill a Mockingbird" recently. One of my favorite books, and it was a pretty good movie too. ...A record 1,000 people watched the Pro Bowl yesterday. ...Does anyone realize that we got through all of last week without hearing one thing about what Roger Clemens is going to do in 2007? How did we survive? ...Anyone ever try smoked oysters? They look terrible but they aren't so bad. ...Reading a book about Ty Cobb recently was a real eye opener. For example, I didn't know that this multi-millionaire, towards the end of his life, had two homes. Both had no electricity or telephone service. What the hell? ...One final thought, this one to sports giant EA Sports. You people are a bunch of stupid *&$%*&. I would have loved to try out NCAA 2007, but you only made it for the PS2. Nice move, real nice.

Thank you, great post. That should answer his question. But if not.... The reason why you were given this answer is because when Mvp 06 was going to be released last year, people would make posts demanding and complaining that the mod was not out yet. So, now this question is the quickest way to get banned from this site, all because people last year gave our modders not a moment's peace.
