  1. You're kidding, right? Man, you got to take a look at the download section and you will see a lot of uniforms you can put in the game and new rosters for 2K12 are always being made. Those guys do a great job keeping that game current. Spend some time in the download section to get familiar with what is available.
  2. To ddawley and mcj88: I have informed the site owner of the problem you are having and he should be able to clear this up for you.
  3. How can anyone disagree with that? I hate to say it but I can't wait for the off season.
  4. Don't mind the Yankees, their packing it in.
  5. He was good when he was with Texas, Atlanta and the Angels and after his first year with the Yankees he shut it down.
  6. Well you know, yeah.
  7. This guy is great! Thank you!
  8. I really had no idea. I feel bad for Portugal.
  9. It seems to me that your laptop could use a bit more RAM.
  10. And Davey Lopes wasn't a quitter.
  11. Teixeira is Portugese? I never knew what nationality he was. Never thought about it really. All this time I thought he was an idiot.
  12. Ah, the 1970's. The decade where fashion took ten years off.
  13. Dennis I would like to welcome you back to uniform modding again. I know you have been away from it for awhile. In case any of you have not heard Dennis has been on a world-wide tour these past few months teaching would-be modders in Asia how to create wonderful looking uniforms themselves. Dennis went to Japan, China, Thailand and South Korea. He also traveled to Europe and Canada for the same reason and wherever he went he was able to teach people how to mod Mvp Baseball 2005. The only area he did not visit was the Latin America countries because they were not interested in having him come down there. They told him that they would rather just continue stealing his work and passing it off as their own. Welcome back Dennis!
  14. Great job Dennis, as usual, as always!
  15. Updated to 8-31 ...Today's the waiver deadline in baseball and that means it is the last opportunity for the Yankees to pick up a washed-up outfielder for this year. ...A week ago today I went to a retirement party for someone who I used to work with and I was able to see some people that I haven't seen since the last one I attended three years ago. When I was working I had myself convinced that once I walk out those doors for the last time I'd never look back and in one regard it's true. I've never been back to my work place since the day I cleaned out my desk and locker and that was five years ago. I never had a party in my honor when I left because no one (including myself) knew I would be retiring. I retired via a disability and that meant that literally I was there one day and gone the next and I couldn't do anything about it. I'm just happy they think well of me to invite me to these things. ...But before I close on this I have to let you know about a story that a wife of one of my ex-coworkers told. She was in the hospital recently and before she came out of the anesthesia she said she had a near-death experience. While I was listening to her tell us what she saw I could tell that this woman was no kook who was trying to manufacture a story like this for reasons known only to her. She was a religious person and what she saw from her glimpse of heaven made her wake up with a smile on her face and no one that she has told this to has doubted her yet. This includes me. I have heard many stories similar to what she told that day and they were all from sane and rational people and not someone who spends twelve hours a day watching The 700 Club. ...A blue lobster was caught up in the state of Maine last week by a fourteen-year-old girl and her father while they were hauling lobster traps. The odds of catching a lobster of this color is one in two million so if this kid knows what she is doing she should run to the closest corner store and purchase a lottery ticket. The lobster was donated to the Maine State Aquarium and they will make sure that anyone who is in the mood for a lobster dinner leaves this particular one alone. ...Personally I don't care what color they are. Blue, yellow, orange, green. Give me a chance and I'll eat all of them. Pass the butter. ...I was considering sending an ice bucket challenge to David Ortiz but I figured once he found out what I had in mind he would never respond. I wanted to personally stand above him and drop a dozen blocks of ice on top of him. Anything for charity, right? ...Maybe I am missing something but I don't understand the problem that some people are having when they found out that Burger King bought Tim Horton's. I get why McDonald's was upset because they probably wanted to buy Tim Horton's themselves. Part of the deal also includes a plan to change the new firm’s nominal headquarters from Miami, Florida to Oakville, Ontario, where Tim Hortons is based. If they do that Burger King/Tim Hortons would be subjected to Canada’s far lower corporate tax rates and when you consider that Burger King paid $89 million in taxes on $1.1 billion in revenue this deal makes perfect sense. But because they are leaving the U.S. to go to Canada there are some people who are protesting this move and are swearing that "they will never have a Whopper again." Right. These are also the same people who don't have to worry about paying an eighty-nine million dollar tax bill. Every time I hear about some boycott going on I give it a week before it folds up and dies. That's what will happen here. ...Check my I.D. Dept: I must have a twin somewhere and if I do I feel bad for the guy. One day last week I was at the grocery store picking up a few things and while I was waiting in line to check out the person behind me tapped me on the shoulder and told me that he was sorry to hear about my brother. I was going to reply that "he had it coming" or "it serves him right" but I could tell that this guy was sincere and I let him know that he had the wrong guy and that I didn't even have a brother. He apologized for the confusion and I am sure that when we went our separate ways we were thinking just about the same thing. He probably couldn't wait to get home to tell someone he knew what happened and I immediately thought of the first time that someone mistook me for someone else. But that was over thirty years ago. Back in the late seventies and early eighties a group of friends and I used to hang around a burger joint because they had a Pac-Man machine there and we would try to get our names on the top ten screen they had there. I rarely made it on there and the few times that I did I was quickly replaced by someone else. It wasn't for lack of trying especially with all the quarters I put in it. One night we were there and this time we actually ordered something which almost put the owner of the place in a state of shock. While I was waiting for my order I had a spare quarter and I decided to play the game and while I was playing it I was distracted by a lady who was watching me very attentively. I didn't know who she was but just as I ended my game she came up to me and told me why she was looking at me. She said that I reminded her of her son who died in a car crash back in 1970 and she just wanted to let me know that. I didn't get a chance to talk to her that much except to say that I was very sorry because my order was ready and that was something that I have always regretted. I wish that I would have spent more time talking to her because I noticed her watching me even after I sat down. I never saw her again. ...Last month an uncle of mine died in a nursing home at the age of 96. He was there for the last year and a half or so of his life and from what my cousin told me the people there took wonderful care of him. On Tuesday there was a memorial mass for him and the other eight people that passed away last month and earlier this month and it was one of the most unique masses I have ever attended. There were four hymns that we sung during the mass but each time we sang them one of the residents there kept on singing the wrong song even though pamphlets were passed out to everyone before the ceremony began with the song and lyrics on it. Looking at the pastor I could tell he was even getting confused and he probably knew these songs by heart. There is a part of the mass where the priest/minister/preacher asks the congregation to be thankful for their blessings but maybe because it was such a small crowd the pastor decided to do this part a little different and I'm sure when it was over he regretted it. He asked the group of twenty-five people what they were thankful for and the same guy who didn't know what song was being sung started thanking everyone that he knew in his life - or at least that's the way it seemed. The mass started at 10:30 am but the way this guy was going I thought we were going to get out of there at 4:00. He got on such a roll that other people were joining in too. Finally the pastor told him that he'd talk to him after the service and that made the guy so happy that he kept quiet for the rest of the service. It was quite an experience for me and you could tell by looking at the faces of the people that live there that this was more than just a memorial mass. God bless them. ...A pediatric nurse from San Diego got himself into a very bad situation last week and if what the media is reporting about this is true no one is ever going to see him again unless you happen to be a prisoner. Whether this is true or not this registered nurse is looking at federal charges for repeatedly molesting a two-month-old baby that was placed in his care at the beginning of this month. The FBI said they captured video evidence from his home to prove he was molesting the infant and they did not go into any detail to inform the media what they saw. I don't know if that's good or not because in these situations you always imagine the worst. If there is one thing to hold on to about this is that this happened to the baby at such a young age. At two months old you don't remember anything and I really hope there is no lasting scars for this kid to have while he grows up. As for that nurse as soon as he settled into his comfortable cell he will be getting a different set of scars. That's another thing I don't even want to imagine. ...My favorite football league, the Legends Football League, is going through their playoffs right now and things are starting to get really hot. This is a woman's seven-on-seven league and they play their games in the spring and summer. This league used to be called the Lingerie Football league but don't let the name change fool you because they still wear the good stuff. There are ten teams in this league and I don't know any of these players by name. I just know them from how they wear their uniform and how it fits on them. There's this one who plays for Los Angeles, well never mind. You get the idea. If you want to check out both the games and the players they have an official Youtube channel you can go to. Fair warning though, the NFL will never look the same again. ...It should come as no surprise to anyone who has driven there but according to an insurance industry report Boston is home to the worst drivers of any U.S. big city. I realize that this has nothing to do with the Red Sox in any way but if I hear about anything that puts down that city then I am going to write about it. ^-^ ...Things we learned this week, Dept: When watching Jesus Montero play baseball never give him an ice cream sandwich because he's partial to hot fudge sundaes...The Angels are trying to win the A.L. West and the instant replay people in New York are doing everything they can to make it happen...And there were some people that actually gave the President a hard time because he wore a tan suit the other day. What the hell, I thought it looked good. I'd wear it. ...Yesterday the Rams announced that Michael Sam has been waived and did not make the team's final fifty-three-man roster. They released this statement yesterday afternoon so there really hasn't been any negative reactions yet - or at least as far as I have seen. Coach Jeff Fisher stressed that this was "a football decision only" but I am just waiting for someone to write an article accusing the Rams of stringing Sam along all this time. Can he play? Probably, but not up to NFL standards. Even though none of them will ever admit it I can't help but wonder how many Rams players were happy Sam didn't make the final cut? ...Finally, have a wonderful Labor Day holiday weekend. Didn't it seem like yesterday when it was Memorial Day? <sigh>
  16. How many people want to bet that Tanaka does not pitch again for the rest of the season?
  17. You aren't kidding. And if people search even further they will find another NCAA thread that was before this one. I'm not even going to post the link here because that thread is dead just like this one should be.
  18. Well I do have this mod but I am not going to upload it because the file is still actually there. Something needs to be fixed with some of these files in order for people to download them. The site owner is aware of the problem.
  19. A "please" and a "thank you" always works well.
  20. I don't know what the hell daflyboys just said but I gave him a +1 anyways.
  21. Thank you KST. You always do wonderful work.
  22. From NoMaas.org. This describes Teixeira perfectly.
  23. Excellent work Oscar!
  24. This guy is a hero!
  25. Sure, I knew that. I've been trying to convert him for years now but he won't budge. I thought something else was up besides that.
