Even if they don't sign this guy the media and just about everyone in here will get on the Yankees for having money yet again.

Updated to 11-5 ...Wow, this thread is over a year old now. Pretty good. I like how topics can branch off into anything in here and it's always fun to read. Maybe that's what it's called random thoughts? :mexican: ...I'm glad Halloween is over. I don't like watching horror movies at all. And in the next few days the elections will be done and all the windbag politicians will go back in the woodwork. ...Oh, I am not either a Democrat or a Republican. I don't give a *&* to listen to either one of them and their lies. I've never once had an interest in politics. ...Free agent filings should be due any day now. I forget the exact date. Note to self: check UncleMo's sig and I'll find out there. :grin: ...I hate Scott Boras. ...Gary Sheffield is one reason why the general public dislikes today's ballplayers. He's crying because the Yankees decided to pick up his 13 million dollar option. That means they are going to pay him that much. That guy's got a hard life for sure. ...Jeff Suppan?? What the hell? Just because he had a good post season I read articles how the Yankees and other teams are "looking at him" for pitching help next year. This guy's a Kansas City reject. Keep this idiot out of the Bronx. :headache: ...And I am glad Bernie Williams has filed for free agency. As soon as he leaves, close the door and change the locks. He's done. ...The rest of this year is going to fly, just watch. And then when January gets here, it will start to drag. Happens every year. ...Anyone have the NFL Network? I got it on Directv and it's pretty good. Sure they got some crap on it, but it's still not bad. ...Sorry if this is old news to some, but they are making a sequel to one of my favorite movies, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. The second movie, which is to be released next year some time is going to be called Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam.

You're fine. There's never been a complaint about you.

Updated to 10-29 ...It drives me nuts when I can't find something that I just set down three seconds ago. I look around, move stuff, pick things up, and then you find it, like it was waiting for you all this time. ...I wonder how low the ratings were for this year's World Series? ...Now it's time for Joe Frontrunner to put away his White Sox hat next to his Red Sox hat and wear his Cardinal gear, because after all, he's a "lifelong" Cardinal fan. ...The day can't come soon enough that Gary Sheffield is traded by the Yankees. ...I just love the smell of a wood burning fireplace. ...Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Oakland Raiders today. Years ago that really meant something. ...The toughest part about going to work each day is hearing that alarm clock go off. ...I like eggs Benedict for breakfast every once in awhile. If you've never tried them, give it a shot. The first time I ever had them was when I was in Texas six years ago. ...You see, now I'm thinking of them and I might go to my closest breakfast place to get some. ...This baseball season, heck, even this year, has just flown by. I just went back and looked at some of our threads at the beginning of April. Everyone was so happy that the season was under way. And just like that six months went by. ...I'm glad the MLB and players agreement is done. One less thing to worry about. ...Clocks back one hour here in the east today. Have a good week.

Don't worry about it, everything's fine.

No I'm not. I'm more concerned about keeping this thread on the subject of the Mvp 07 mod and not having it branch out into stupid arguements that have no purpose here.

Enough of this joking before it gets out of control. All NYM has to do is work on his Shea mod, test it out and send it to Kraw for approval. Then he's all set. He'll get his proper due.

Not true. Ideas are just being thrown around now, that's all.

God damn, Hory was right.

Hey, no problem on my end! Check this out

Any idea is not a dumb idea. Remember that. And I'm not just referring to you Bama, anyone who reads this thread. Throw your ideas out and see which one of them sticks.

Of course not. I just wanted to get this back on course. I just did what I was able to do, sticky this thing and now we have it in one thread so we can concentrate on what can be done instead of wasting time on things that don't matter anyway. Besides, how can I take over? Kraw's a genius. :stickman:

Let's try this again, shall we? What I want to do in this thread is to have a central meeting point for anyone who wants to help out Krawhitham and his team of modders with the 2007 mod. Put in any idea you want for this mod in this thread. If you have something you want to contribute, post it in here. If you want to help out on the mod, let them know in here or via private message. I am starting this thread tonight because there was a misunderstanding with one of our members earlier today. Some people thought he jumped the gun and wanted to take over this proposed project, but it wasn't the case. He is just an enthusiastic user who wants to be involved in some way. Maybe his wording in his post was wrong, but his intentions to help out were not. Ok, that's out of the way. What is more important are these basic questions: Mvp 06 was great. How can it be improved upon? Can anything else be added? What wasn't added that time did not allow? What new mods or ideas can be incorporated into this? These are just some questions we will find out together. The only thing I know is that you men in here can make anything happen. Any help I can do you let me know. On to Mvp 07!

Something's going to be done about it. I am home tomorrow so I got some time to think.

Updated to 10-22 ...I only watched three minutes of the opening game of the World Series last night because I was waiting for a movie to start on the Encore channel. Sour grapes Y4L??? You bet. ...It gets me nervous each time Boo Selig says that the labor-management talks are "amicable" because that usually means the opposite. ...I wonder why no one in here was gloating when the Mets lost the NLCS but when the Yankees lost, it was a cause for celebration? Double standards. ...I read this article last night on CNN and I still don't get it. Why wouldn't he want to leave? Unless maybe he gets free satellite and Internet service there. ...Anyone ever watch a show called "The Wild, Wild West"? I've been watching season one of it for the past week. I used to watch the reruns of it on TBS not to long ago. ...The late W.C. Fields once said "I never vote for anybody, I vote against them." Which is exactly how I'll approach this year's voting. ...Ted Lilly, please come back to New York. You never should have left in the first place. ...I got the Thanksgiving week off, but only you guys in here know this. No one in my family does as of yet. Because if they do, something will get planned or we'll have to go somewhere "since you are home anyways" at the last minute. ...Shopping carts hurt. Damn, they hurt. Especially when someone doesn't watch where they are going. And I've had this happen before! ...MTV sucks. I know it has been years since I watched it, but it is even worse then I imagined.

I'm sure Soriano has already done that. :binkybaby:

Who the heck is Chris Leak?

Updated to 10-15 ...Well, I've been getting more sleep at night now that the Yankees are not playing baseball anymore. Isn't that nice?? :gack: :cry: ...I don't care how much people wanted the underdog Tigers to win, I still didn't like it. ...I didn't need some politician named Foley to remind me how much I dislike and distrust politics, all it did was confirm it for me once again. ...Hard to believe some areas of New York State got blasted with snow this past week. Like Buffalo for instance. Glad I don't live in that area. To borrow a phrase, Buffalo has two seasons: August and winter. ...Hey, Terrell Owens got into another arguement with a coach a few days ago. Who didn't see that coming? ...Everyone I talk to about the bargaining agreement expiring soon does not seem to be worried about it. But I sure am. I don't think this is going to be as cut and dry as people are hoping for. ...I hate people that use their car horn as doorbells. ...Hi-Def TV's and me are a marriage made in heaven. I just don't have one yet. :spin: ...I'd like to win the lottery just once and then I promise never to play it again. ...Finally saw Gridiron Gang last night. Not a bad movie at all.

I know you didn't and I never thought you did. But some of these winners in here might think so. You know, the same ones who call us Nazis. Now I'll go even further: Hitler built up a depression era Germany. Gave them jobs and pride in the country. Then his thoughts of world domination and his hatred for other races and religions were his downfall. My source for this?? History books. Read them.

Neither do I but it gives me a day off with pay so I'll take it.

Updated to 10-8 ....As much as I try, all my random thoughts today seem to revolve around the Yankees and how they blew it yesterday in Detroit. ...Well, so much for the lineup that was "going to score 1,000 runs" crap! ...Yes, Detroit deserved it. But as Alex Rodriguez said, you get tired of giving the other team credit. ...As soon as the last out was made yesterday I immediately thought about what was going to be happening for the Yankees this off season. Because I really feel we are going to see some shakeups that are going to surprise a few people. ...And I don't know what this means for Joe Torre. ...I know he did not affect anything in this series, but I would really like to see Kyle Farnsworth off the team. I hate that guy. There's a reason why the Cubs, Braves and Tigers got rid of him and now I know why. ...Same for Randy Johnson. ...I also think it is time for Bernie Williams to hand in his bat and take his guitar and go home. ...I really feel bad for Derek Jeter. He was the only Yankee that played with any heart in these four games. ...One final thought about Jeter: I wonder what he really feels about this team of overpriced SOB's as compared to the Yankee champions he played on? ...Oh well, for me, it's on to 2007. God knows what that will bring.

Updated to 10-1 ...Even though I am happy that the playoffs start Tuesday, it's still a little sad knowing the season ends today. For me it marks the official end of summer. ...And before we get into it, I'd like to give the people at FOX a :soap: :soap: for the next two weeks of their baseball coverage. Thank you for extending the games past midnight. Thank you for the endless commercials and FOX TV show plugins you are going to give us. Thanks for making me look at Jeanie Zelasko again on an every day basis. This is the worst network ever. ...I don't know why, but the phrase "East Jesus" has always made me laugh. This one guy I work with lives far from work and he needed a ride home and some other guy said he couldn't give him a ride home because he "lived all the way out in East Jesus." Don't ask me why, I just think it's funny. ....What the hell is it with crazy nuts, guns and high schools in the state of Colorado?? ...How do they determine the price of gas? I mean how is it one day $2.89 and 24 hours later it can be $2.83? Who sets this? ...People that insist on stopping ten feet past the stop sign at an intersection *&^$ me off. ...I have always liked browsing used bookstores. You never know what you can find there. My wife doesn't like me going there because I'm a speed reader. :roll: ...Is it a good thing or a bad thing that Randy Johnson has his back hurting right now? You never know what you get out of this guy when he gets on the mound. ...Am I worried about the playoffs?? Hell yeah. ...I have yet to watch a NFL game this year.

Updated to 9-24 ...This is the last full week of the baseball season. It just flew by again, didn't it? ...How many people got the money to buy "Official Division winning gear" and then, if your team gets that far, "Official Division Series winning gear" and "Official LCS winning gear" and "Official World Series winning gear" that MLB is hawking? ...Nice arcade area we got here now at the site. But I'm avoiding that baseball game. What the hell? ...The Raiders will not lose this week. They have a bye week. Thank God. ...I wonder how long this Karma/Smite thing will last in here? ...Maybe we should make a poll about that? I've got a good one in mind but I better not do it. ...Now you see it, now you don't. That's what happened to MLBXpress. :razz: Trues decided to bring the best of that forum over here and now everyone can have their own team discussion area. That solves that issue that has come up every so often. ...Gary Sheffield has not looked bad at first base. He'll be playing every day this final week. ...I just love that 06 mod more and more each day. <------What the hell is that smilie for????

Updated to 9-17 ....Hopefully with the Yankees winning a few more games, they can wrap up the division this week. I never assume anything anymore since the '78 season. ...It was sad to learn that Jim Kaat retired from broadcasting. I thought he was one of the best ones in the booth on YES. Al Leiter is good too. Also, it's been nice not listening to Michael Kay for awhile. I don't know where he's been. ...What the heck is the attraction to myspace? ...I have never been in any fantasy league for anything in my entire life. I've been asked many times, but I have no desire to do it. ...With the Mvp 06 mod out and TC6 coming out soon, I'm all set for the winter. And since I will be laid up for about a month sometime in January for my knee surgery, this will be great. ...One thing about the Mvp 06 mod, I played a few games with the modders and Forum Fanatics and I am going on record right now in front of the entire community to say I have it in for Trues. Every ball hit to him he catches! Either he dives for it, runs back 100 feet and pulls it in, starts a double play, etc, etc. And don't get me started when he's up to bat. Have him hit a ball in the gap and watch him coast into third base or get a single and steal second on the next pitch. Something's got to be done. I think I did get him out once. I should have got a screen capture of it. ...Isn't it amazing how David Ortiz has tried to spin his way out of what he said about Derek Jeter? ...I love it when someone you know is getting married and you find out you are not invited to the wedding. I'm serious here, no sarcasm intended. I hate going to weddings. ...It's nice to see gas prices around here go down a bit. I hope it is the same for you guys wherever you are.

Updated to 9-10 ...This was one of the toughest weeks of work I've had in a long time. I've been so tired with all the overtime that I hardly had a chance to do other things, like be on here. But at least I have the next two days off. ...Saw a movie called "Barnyard" last night, a computer animated movie. It was good. Don't laugh. ...I wonder if there is any Yankee fan out there who is comfortable when they see Kyle Farnsworth come into a game? ...Don't know why, but I've been making a lot of audio CD's lately. ...Damn that Vida Guerra is hot. ...And so are the two girls on the YES Network's "Ultimate Road Trip." If any of you have the YES Network you will know exactly what I mean. ...I'm glad my wife doesn't read the Random Thoughts on a Sunday Morning thread. :wink: ...The first Raider game of the year is on Monday night and it starts at 10:00 pm east coast time!!!! Thank you NFL for being so fan friendly!! :evil: :evil: ...I see Christmas stuff up at the department stores. Great. ...Finally, another thank you goes out to the firefighters and everyone else that helped out on September 11, 2001. Tomorrow's already the fifth anniversary for this terrible event.
