I can tell you put a lot of thought into this management/game simulation league thing that you want to start up and I wish you the best of luck with it because as far as I can remember in here this kind of league has never been brought up. There has been leagues in here but we haven't had any in many years. I did read your proposed rules closely and I really don't understand some of your rules here. This is what I mean: No way would I want to do that. Just because someone is 0 for 3 at the plate you will manually substitute him? Hey, I don't care if Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Hank Greenberg, Joe Dimaggio, Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, etc, etc, etc happen to go hitless in their first three at-bats. That can happen at any time. That doesn't mean I want to take the bat out of their hands before they get up to bat for the fourth time. Never. This makes no sense. Sometimes when the player charges the mound in this game he gets thrown out and sometimes the pitcher does. I have seen both. No one should be suspended for this at all. Anyways, I wish you luck.

Damn that view looks nice. Seems as if it will make it more challenging too, which is fine by me.

Hey, if you don't mind can you post some screen grabs of your classic pitch mod and some shots when you are batting? This really has me interested.

Now that I think of it my phone is almost that old too. I don't have the internet on mine but the reception is very good and that's all I want. The generation of kids that I grew up with were the last ones to play ball in the street and the one of the last to join the playground for organized sports like softball. The only softball that is played at the playgrounds when I was younger are nightly adult leagues. During the day you don't see anyone.

Yeah, he's not on here all the time but he always makes time to assign the numbers to new players.

How about if you give the modder a chance to do it?

Updated to 8-12 ...An 87 year old Denver man was arrested for growing and dealing pot and is now facing multiple marijuana-related felonies. The man was allowed to grow a certain number of plants for medical reasons but was pinched by the cops because he grew two hundred more marijuana plants over the legal limit supposedly because he wanted to increase his daily limit of lighting up once a day to lighting up once an hour. ...A British man was arrested for creating a public nuisance after he threw a bottle at the finalists of the Olympic mens 100 meter race. The guy was extremely intoxicated and quickly apprehended - which probably explains why he threw the bottle. Being in his drunken state he apparently assumed he was at a soccer game where throwing bottles is encouraged and done by one and all. ...After an impressive tryout for the Seattle Seahawks that saw him run a 4.5-40 in his workout, Terrell Owens was signed to a one year contract by the team, which just shows you how bad things in Seattle are. Taking nothing away from what he did because running a 4.5 is a tough thing to do when you are a 38 year old veteran, but remember this is Terrell Owens. He also can destroy the chemistry of a team in about 4.5 seconds too. ...With the expected launching of Apple's iPhone 5 near the end of next month, many iPhone 4 users are selling off their current phones because overnight it became dated and obsolete. Some are placing the phones on eBay to sell to some poor schmuck who doesn't know any better. The funny thing is nothing has been confirmed by Apple about the release date and the people that are selling their phone are only doing it because of rumors heard on the internet. If you ever wanted to be a part of a brainless herd of people then Apple is for you. ...I don't know how improved the New York Jets passing and running game is going to be this year but their punching game is going to be no problem. ...Jennifer Lopez is saying that her former driver has been trying to blackmail her to the tune of 2.8 million dollars because she did not use a security team he recommended for a music video shoot and if he was not paid that amount he would disclose personal information that he overheard while driving for her. Lopez in return is seeking twenty million dollars in damages from her former employee. She has as much chance of getting twenty million out of that guy as her career does in making a comeback. ...A fifteen year old boy from Ohio collapsed and was hospitalized after becoming severely dehydrated last week because he was playing on his X-box for four days straight, only stopping to grab a few snacks and take a fast shower. The first reaction to a story like this is to blame the parent and maybe there's some truth to that because when you let your kid stay inside his room for four days without wondering why, it does not display good parenting skills. But this kid is fifteen and he should know better. If this is the kind of kid that is the future of America then I'll take the past. ...When I was that age and I stayed in my room for more than a few hours my parents either thought I was sick or up to something. ...Wow, it's been a tough year for country singer Randy Travis. He just got arrested again in a matter of months for public intoxication and this second time he didn't hold anything back. Consider: he was found nude by the side of the road at night smelling of alcohol and then threatened to shoot and kill the cops who arrested him which must have made him a real popular guy at the police station. Like the old saying goes you can take the redneck out of the trailer park but when you do you'll find him laying naked in the road. ...Kinda makes me think that somewhere in Texas a homeless man is wearing a pair of rind-stoned jeans and a new 10 gallon cap. ...Just when I thought I've read enough awful news stories in the past few weeks like that Colorado theater shooting and the Neo Nazi nut who killed six people at the Sikh temple in Milwaukee, I read about a mentally handicapped woman from Vietnam who was beaten and robbed by a ten year old boy and two of his friends who incredibly were both younger than him. These kids beat her with rocks and sticks and threw a potted plant at her face. The three little robbers made off with twenty dollars from her purse, which when you split it three ways really amounts to nothing. But hey, these budding sociopaths are probably just getting started with their criminal careers and we all know that Rome wasn't built in a day. ...I neglected to mention that this happened in Philadelphia, a city world renowned for the class of its citizens. ...A man waiting for his flight in Rome, Italy fell asleep on a baggage belt and traveled about 160 feet before being discovered by airport security drunk and unaware that he dozed off on the conveyor belt. The man was taken to the hospital due to exposure from the X-Rays that scanned the luggage. The good news is that he is ok but they did discover he has two cavities on the right side of his mouth. ...What is it with the Yankees? I can not think of one sensible reason why they had to go and sign Derek Lowe. Are they trying to say that they have no one they can trust down in AAA ball? All this team does throughout the years is brag about their minor leaguers but they'll be damned if they give any of them a chance. It sure as hell helped Lowe that he once played for the Red Sox, a fact that Brian Cashman can't seem to resist when signing free agents. ...Since the selection of Paul Ryan by Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney to be his running mate it has created a swarm of opinions by people pro and con, smart and stupid, funny and ridiculous about the choice he made on news shows throughout the day. I don't know if this guy made a choice that is going to help him or end up hurting him come November because to be honest with you I have never heard of Paul Ryan and since I have been living in what I consider a very nice life here in Central New York state, I have been doing very well not knowing this guy existed. In other words, I could care less. ...When I first heard the words "Honey Boo Boo" I just thought it was the name of a song that I've never heard of but when I found out what it was - a show about a spoiled arrogant six year old redneck fat kid who somehow believes she is a beauty queen. There's more to this show of course. The kid has a mother who weighs three hundred pounds, give or take a chin and three sisters, the oldest is seventeen and pregnant. The only chance this kid has at winning a major beauty pageant is if they have the thing in front of an audience of blind people and the rest of the contestants don't show up.

You are doing something wrong. You're missing a step somewhere.

It takes practice. I went through the same thing when I started out playing this game. I couldn't hit that good at all and it seemed that every time I threw a mistake pitch it was hit over the fence or off the wall. But it does get better.

Will you take a look at that? I didn't even see it. I'm going to go download this right now. This really looks good. Thank you very much!

You got me confused here. What do you mean you were not sure if it was cleared to do so? Every single mod hosted on this website is free for the users here to download and use. So if you see something in the download section that appeals to you, grab it and read the directions on how to install it and you are good to go.

That's a tough question to answer because if you asked ten people what datafile they are using for this game you may get ten different answers. Try some out and see what you like for yourself the best. As far where Jim825's datafile is it is in the same place where it has been all this time. You can find it by searching or by going to this link right here.

Nice catches lee you. Good job.

You just responded to a six year old thread. And Edgar Martinez is on the Mvp 2005 game disk. So if you have that you already have it.

This is a three year old post, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask.

Oh well, what can we do? That's how it goes.

Oh my God. I WANT IT.

Yes, they are shut down for good. And no we can not upload this.

I'm not too sure but it would not surprise me if it was an Mvp 08 face. Swisher has been with the Yankees since 2009 and hasn't had a beard all this time.

You are probably right. But wouldn't you say what he is doing this year is the complete opposite of what he has done in all his years as a Yankee? These two leagues can't be that much different that this has to happen.

He is doing this year what the Yankees expected him to do for them. I don't understand it either.

I found two more minor errors and I'm upset with myself that I didn't find them before. First, check out this screenshot of Nick Swisher of the Yankees. He has a beard and the guy does not have one. Now, look at these two uniform selections. This is not the Red Sox uniform from 1908. I don't know what year it is from but it isn't that year. And this is not the 1932 road Yankees uniform. This is the road uniform that they used from 1927 to 1930. The sources I am looking at is the Baseball Hall of Fame's Uniform Database.

Updated to 8-5 ...Another trade deadline has come and gone and with great surprise the Yankee farm system still has their top prospects. There was talk that the Cubs' Ryan Dempster was maybe coming to New York but I'm glad nothing came of it because all we need is another guy who pitches like Phil Hughes. ...If Theo Epstein would have been able to get rid of Alfonso Soriano during his first year in Chicago it would have been a successful one despite the team's won-loss record. He still has one more chance to do it by the 31st of August to get waivers on this slug and with this guy's over inflated contract he is sure to clear waivers. But if Theo thinks he can pawn him off on the Yankees he should be gently reminded that the Yankees had him nine years ago and during all that time have showed no signs of missing him. ...Some guy in the Netherlands built a full scale replica of Noah's Ark because he had a dream that his homeland would be flooded. The designer, a Mr. Johan Huibers built this to tell people about God and to explain the Bible in real terms. This ark also includes a theater, restaurant and conference facilities to seat 1,500 people - something that Noah in all his wisdom forgot to include in the original one. ...I can just picture two or three thousand years from now when some future archeologists find this thing they will claim they found Noah's Ark until they examine it closely and find that it was made in Holland. ...A tour guide down in the Florida Everglades got his hand bit off by an alligator last month when he got too close to it for his own good while he tried to feed it. If that isn't bad enough, the state of Florida is pressing charges against him because feeding alligators is illegal. Game officials tracked and killed the gator and retrieved the hand but doctors were unable to reattach it. Serves the alligator right because as we all know you should never bite the hand that feeds you. ...Because the CEO of the restaurant chain Chick-fil-A opposes gay marriage and had the nerve to come out and say so, some mayors of various U.S. cities have told the company that they are not welcome to open up franchises in their city because of his stance. This is just a transparent political move during an election year. Give these same mayors a lifetime supply of two for one coupons and just watch how quickly this problem goes away. ...India suffered two crippling power failures in two days last week that affected more than 350 million people. Remarkably no deaths have been reported and one would hope this good news continues. This power failure in India has also affected many people here in the United States because millions of technical support calls have gone unanswered. ...Snoop Dog (formerly known as Snoop Doggy Dogg) wants to be known now as Snoop Lion because he claims he was "born again" when he was in Jamaica and that he is the reincarnation of Bob Marley. Canines everywhere are applauding this name change while the lions union is considering a lawsuit. ...A.J. Burnett pitched a one hitter last week against the Cubs in Chicago. That's right. This guy gave up only one hit in a complete game shutout over the Cubs. Last year, every time Burnett had a one hitter going for the Yankees the second batter of the game was coming up to hit. ...A man and a woman were stoned to death a few days ago in Mali (a country in Western Africa) for committing adultery. By Islamic law this is the punishment for infidelity. It makes one wonder that if these same people were in control of Hollywood for awhile they would run out of rocks. ...A seventeen year old lifeguard was doing his job not too long ago and minding his own business when he heard the cries for help from a twelve year old boy who was drowning off the coast of Oregon. Not thinking twice, this kid jumps in the water and despite high waves and rough waters he was able to reach the boy, calm him down and get him to shore. Both he and the boy were taken to the hospital to be checked out and after some tests, everything was still in working order and both were released. That's the good news. Jump ahead a few weeks and after checking his mailbox one day this lifeguard discovers that he received a bill for almost $2,600 for his trouble - including $1,900 for the ambulance ride! They could have called for a taxi because it would have been a lot cheaper even if the driver took the long way. This proves once again that no good deed shall go unpunished. At least there is a happy ending for this lifeguard because his bill is being paid in full by anonymous donors. ...This is why I don't jump in the ocean to save people. First I'm not that good of a swimmer and someone would have to come out and save me and secondly I don't live near an ocean. ...Motown legend Stevie Wonder is getting divorced from his wife of ten years citing the usual "irreconcilable differences" reason that is usually told to the public when these things happen but the word around Hollywood is that someone finally told him what his wife really looks like. ...Former porn actress Jenna Jameson said last week that she is going to be endorsing Republican candidate Mitt Romney for President. Now if only the GOP can get Traci Lords to back Romney they'd be all set. ...The country of Saint Kitts and Nevis told track and field runner Kim Collins to pack his things and return home because they couldn't find him for three days as he missed practice meets and repeated attempts to contact him. Collins' excuse for his dismissal from the team is that he went to a hotel room to be with his wife, who also happens to be his coach. Collins obviously did not know the rules that well because if he had got caught in a hotel with a hooker instead of his wife they'd have brought him back and hushed this up as quickly as possible. ...Incidentally, I've never heard of Saint Kitts and Nevis before. It sounds more like a department store than a country.

It doesn't matter what you say to these people Jim about something like this. It's like they have a mental block or something. He was already told that Homer was not done yet with the mod but he just had to be told again.
