NYY: Andy Phillips does not wear low socks

...I finally managed to purchase a new phone to replace my aging i530. This sucker right here: with a new plan to boot. I no longer pay around the area of $70 for my phone service. With 450 anytime minutes, unlimited walkie talkie, free nights and weekends starting at 7PM, for only 39.99, with the insurance coming in at 6.99, life is good. ...Again, I am disappointed as I have still not been able to go visit this girl out in Massachusets. I'm about to give up because it's frustrating. When I am capable of going, it turns out she is working overtime. I can understand, because I put off fun time also for extra work. I tell her, it's no biggie, next week we'll hang out, grab a couple beers and see what happens from there. Hanging out with me, according to my friends is pretty fun because I'm a funny guy and my frequent poor timing with the things I say are just hilarious to them, but that's just KC being KC. She has a baby girl, about 2 years old. Her baby's father is a total douchebag, and it's people like him that ruin everything for guys like me who might want to get into a relationship with this woman, hypothetically speaking. But she failed one of the principles in becoming a good woman from the start: I can't stand seeing some girls I know, who are awesome chicks, start dating some insecure f*ck who makes up for their failings by being possessive and controlling. Before long, the crazy chick drinking friend I had is gone, and now if they ever come out for drinks without said douchebag, it won't be long before they are telling everyone their problems. That makes for a fun party atmosphere. One thing I've heard a few girls say is a long the lines of "He just got out of prison, but he's a really nice guy." or "He just got out of rehab, but he's a really nice guy." Actually thats usually the last thing they ever say to me, because I usually try to avoid contact at all costs after that. I'd like to think that its because I realized that she has issues, but it may have been more likely that I didn't want prisoner No. 1998376 thinking I was eying up his woman. In short, if you aren't happy with who you are when you're single, dating some idiot certainly won't help matters. There's a lot of principles I posted somewhere about being a good woman, but those are just my points of view, I might post it in a blog this week. ...Speaking of blogs, thanks for reading last week's entry, "What it means to be alone". I wrote it from the heart and it means a lot to me. Even though the comments weren't what I'd expect, 200+ views in one week is awesome. ...I guess I got served this week on MVPMods. My apologies for being a d*ck. Maybe I haven't learned how to STFU when needed but someday I will. I guess next time I'll let my work speak for itself. ...I don't get the idea of Igawa being the answer to Matsuzaka. He is being paid to be a 5th starter, not an ACE, or a #2 guy. A 5th starter. A 5th starter is also able to go in relief if need be. Igawa, he hasn't made up for his shortcomings but he's come through at least twice this season and delivered. Rasner broke his finger vs Boston? Igawa went the distance and struck out 7. Yankees needed an extra starter? Igawa comes through and has 6 Ks in 5IP vs the Devil Rays. It might take a while to really get accustomed to Major League pitching, and develop some consistency, but that will develop eventually. Luckily as the 5th starter it will take a while. Igawa will be a decent reliable pitcher next year, I guarantee it. What I can't guarantee is his success as a pitcher with this team next season. ...Speaking of Pitching, Joba Chamberlain. My goodness...and NO, I DON'T WANT HIM TO PITCH IN RELIEF. Bring up the stories of Santana and Liriano all you want, but Gardenhire is no Joe Torre. Torre's belief that experience is far better than talent boggles my mind. Also, Chamberlain, IMO is best utilized as a starter because he has a repertoire of pitches, where as a reliever you can get by with just two. Or if you are Mariano, just one. ...The new Yankee Stadium is shaping up to look lovely. They already set up the foundation for the escalators, as well as the outline of the press boxes. If only the workers had the work ethic of the people who designed Yankee Stadium in the beginning, my gosh, I feel that they would have been most likely finished by January 08 instead of 2009. Construction began May 5, 1922, on the current park, and Yankee Stadium opened to the public less than 11 months later.

I am not sure if it's possible but wouldn't it make sense to remove the players that are on the DL from the roster in general and replace them with players who are currently active? i.e. Pavano, Liriano, Giambi, etc., essentially players on the DL for long stints, they can be exported as players off the roster update and when they do come back you can just reimport them through MVPEdit

The sigs in this page are full of win. Great job, gentlemen.

That costs money, and money is something the city doesn't know how to spend wisely. It's not that hard to get into brooklyn or queens, it all depends what trains you take to get around. I live a stone's throw away from Manhattan, and in order to get downtown I take the train that has the least amount of stops on some days, and on other days the train that is least packed. The city is currently trying to build the 2nd Ave. Subway Line which will ease the congestion on the east side of Manhattan. As we all NYers should know, the East side of Manhattan is served only by 3 subway lines, the 4,5 and 6, two of them running on the same track. On top of that, what sucks even more balls is the way the subway is set up with trains coming in from Queens, where you have your express train (the E) linking to a LOCAL subway station (51st street on the 6), and your LOCAL queens train (the R) connecting to the express station in Manhattan (59th Street on the 4,5,6) It's all a clusterfcuk. I wish I ran the MTA, I would run it exactly like Boston has it, where the last subway train leaves at midnight, and the only source of public transportation would be the buses. Increased bus service at night, Increased subway service during the day = Win.

I'm taking requests. One at a time.

- I want to thank the people out here who read my blogs and are willing to offer me some advice. I am always open-minded and I'm willing to learn and understand where people come from with what they say. It's one of the many ways this kid can grow. After some thinking, a solution has been reached and I feel much better about life and everything in general. - Daft Punk are gods. Gods in France, gods in house music, and gods in club scenes. I praise them a lot because I've followed them since junior high school and they've come a LONG way in terms of music and popularity. Y4L, I'm not sure if you are into house music or techno or any of those related genres, but they are probably the greatest collaborative duo ever to touch the House genre of music. I managed to catch their live show on youtube, which is not official but it is video from a news broadcast and man those guys know how to put on a show. I cannot wait for the NYC show next month to close out my summer. - No, I still haven't left to Massachusetts yet to visit this woman, but I am planning to make the most out of my trip, because I'd like to experience something new outside of my normal habitat. I just hope she doesn't like me enough to the point where she'll want to keep me around longer than what I'm planning. Don't worry, I will be sporting my Yankee jersey with pride, and I'll have a small vial of Yankee Stadium mound dirt in case anything happens with Red Sox fans I kid, I kid. - Yes, I agree, Sheffield should drink a nice glass of STFU. - My dreams of buying a vehicle to get around have not died yet, and it won't. - I have yet to find a job, but I am trying. - I'll touch on other topics in my blogs, as it helps develop my writing and people seem to love them. I won't touch on just any topic, just stuff that applies to me and my daily life.

Jose Molina has been traded to the New York Yankees for AA pitcher Jeff Kennard, Nieves will be DFA'ed. http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/news/articl...t=.jsp&c_id=nyy

I love the text effect on PAPELBAHHN, errr Papelbon. The Game Over with the yellow glow feels like it doesn't belong there but it's a good effort. Nice sig.

whatever man, I don't see any growth from you as an "artist" and you are supposed to be further into doing this stuff than I am. Graphic design is not exactly my interest so I don't bother making "real sigs". What exactly constitutes a "real sig" anyway? Is it in the same category as the superficial stuff in baseball like "heart", "grit", and "hustle"?

You've been called out on this method, formula, technique, steps, whatever, when you first started doing signatures, around late last year: http://www.mvpmods.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=310607.html#310607 I've noticed you developed better techniques but the premise remains the same: I even changed up my recent alex rodriguez background to emulate your style, first one is my own: to

at the expense of file size

No, I don't...sorry

Given the frequency I do my sigs, it varies: is different from

Dan, there is no argument. I'm just saying that I'd like to see a little more variety, that's all. To change the formula every now and then, so to speak.

That images was posted after I pointed out the similarities in your sigs. A majority of them have the same image original sized, blended on a stock image in the background, with the smaller image resized to fit the dimensions of the signature in the foreground. Throw in a fancy font and voila. It's not exactly the method I'd imagine, as it's vague but it's to the point. I understand that is your style, but I am just saying you have to have a bit more variety, because it looks repetitive. You should know this, as you are farther into graphic design than I ever was. It's not my forte anyway. If anything, my sigs always feature the player first, with the design itself being the background. Not too intrusive with the focus being on the player itself. I use brushes not for the noob factor like you say, but because the image itself is small and anything else is overkill.

Yes, they are. All of my sigs don't use C4D, or stock stuff, just flat out brushes

vs

Of course anything looks good when it's done in the same style. Nice try.

I believe it says JUNIOR in a script font

You have to branch out

I want to cry. I want to shed an e-tear. That is just beautiful.

Wrong.

I don't mind, I mean I don't use baseball player sigs because I'm a jinx Pavano - TJS, out for the season Damon - fears the DL, has played half-assed Bonds - super slump
