Updated to 3-30 ...If you missed that Dodger-Red Sox game last night at the Los Angeles Coliseum, you missed a bit of history. Before this game I only saw films of how this place was and how bad it was for pitchers but to see it on TV like I saw last night it was unbelievable. Can you imagine if they still had to play in that place today and if Manny Ramirez played there? How many home runs would he have hit with that short left field wall? Over 100? 125? ...The first inning Andruw Jones hit a line shot off of Wakefield and it bounces off the left field wall. The Red Sox shortstop fielded the ball because it was closer to him than it was to Manny in left. I was thinking to myself I would have loved to see those right handed hitters take batting practice before the game, they'd have broken a few seats. ...Finally I thought of the people of Brooklyn and how they must have been feeling. For those of them still there that remember when their ballclub left all those years ago, this must have been a painful and sad reminder of what Walter O'Malley did to that borough fifty years ago. I'm sure those people weren't watching last night. ...Tonight we get to see the new Nationals ballpark for the first time on ESPN Sunday Night baseball. I can only watch it for a few innings. Doesn't matter to me if it's the first Sunday night game of the year, I can't go nine innings of listening to Miller and Morgan. ...Anyone catch the title of Bobby Murcer's new book that is coming out soon? It's called Yankee For Life: My 40-Year Journey in Pinstripes. He never got in contact with me to use that name. ...Kei Igawa is really going to help the Yankees chances this year by not being there. ...What a week for the Yankees. Matsui runs off and gets married and it makes front page news. And A-Rod gets accused by Jose Canseco of trying to steal his wife. If Canseco writes another book, he'll accuse A-Rod next of trying to steal his car. ...Yankees home opener is tomorrow at 1:05 pm. Man, that's going to suck for those who are going. It's going to be freezing. I've always said they should open up the season in both leagues with games played in the western or southern cities or cities with domes. ...Chien-Ming Wang gets the opening day nod for the Yankees. He should be ok tomorrow since it isn't a playoff game. ...Here's hoping for a great 2008 season! Finally we have our game back.

Maybe, I don't have Windows Vista so I really wouldn't know. I'm sorry.

Updated to 3-23 ...So, what I miss? I was out of town again at my wife's hometown and when that happens I miss what happens in the world and in here. I have a very hard time getting online down there and when I was on yesterday (for five minutes) it was on a laptop that seemed even slower than me trying to climb stairs. ...The Sunday paper down there is 101 pages. One page of news and one hundred pages of advertisement. And all for the bargain of $1.50 ...Roy Rogers Restaurants on the Thruway rest stops are highway robbers. $2.79 for a cheeseburger which looks like the same cheeseburger you'd get at McDonald's on the dollar menu. ...Gas was $3.47 at home and $3.33 down there. Big difference. ...Had the obligatory ham for Easter. I don't care for ham. That's why I have four dogs that help me out with the ham when no one's looking. ...Went over to the sister-in-law's house on Saturday. Big screen TV. Would have loved to watch College basketball or baseball. Both had to take a backseat to Lifetime Television. ...DirectTV had a free preview of their games this weekend. At least I had something to do to pass my time when I was there. ...Read two books amidst all the excitement there. Mr Monk and the Two Assistants and Storm Warning by Jack Higgins. I'm a fast reader. ...Anything happen with the Yankees? Didn't see any sense asking anyone down there because they seem to think Mickey Mantle is still on the team. ...It takes me three days back home to get things right and organized how I want them after I am gone for a weekend. I hate that 180 mile trip. ...Happy belated Easter!

The way I do it is this: When I finish the game, I go to the main menu of MVP 05 and then I hit ALT+TAB to go to the desktop. I then run the box score extractor and it starts and I get the message that says it is "searching for the memory address." After that, I follow the prompts and finally it asks me what do I want to name this file? I give it a name and that file is place in a directory where the Box score extractor is. So try this out the next game you play. Play a game and name this file something that you will have no trouble finding, call it TESTBOXSCOREGAME or something. You'll see it there in the BSE thread.

Seems to me that the seven that he has in now are pretty good. There's a good variety in it.

Works for me.

These last few posts by DJ I can't tell if he's responding to posts here or playing Bingo. :shrug:

Why timay? There's no need to bring anything like that up. This is his thread.

If you know where it is, give the guy a link. It will save me from looking through my CD's.

Now, I am not saying this program is not around anymore. I am sure that there are some people that have this lying around. Maybe someone will be able to help you.

MvpEdit has never been and it never will be on this site. Rglass, the creator of this program, only wants it on his site. And the only version he has on his site is the one for 2005.

Updated to 3-16 ...It was nice seeing Billy Crystal having that much fun a few days ago when he was the DH for the Yankees. When I was watching his at-bat I thought to myself "when I'm 59, I won't even be able to foul off a pitch, let alone hit one." Who am I kidding? I can't do it now. ...Selig being Selig department: Now Major League Baseball is not allowing Yankee instructor Reggie Jackson to wear his uniform anymore. These people have nothing else to do. ...I don't care if you like him or not, but I love the support Hank Steinbrenner is giving to Joe Girardi after the two incidents with Tampa recently. ...Check out the special Yankee hats that they will be wearing on Tuesday the 18th when they face Virginia Tech. Here's a maroon one and here's the blue one. They'll be autographed after the game and sold at an auction run by Virginia Tech. Don't worry, I am sure that before this week is done both of these styles will be available for sale on their homepage. ...I'm all for the promoting of baseball in any part of the world and it was nice to see that the Chinese people really took to the games between the Dodgers and Padres, but when Selig wants to possibly play a regular season game there, that could be too much. ...The IHOP sucks. Those people couldn't make a decent breakfast if their lives depended on it. I've always found it is best to go to a small diner for Sunday morning breakfast because they always do better than the Corporate ones like IHOP, Denny's and Perkins. ...I'll never understand the people that send out junk e-mails. Do they really expect people to believe what they are peddling? I got one the other day from a multi-millionaire who "has so much money he feels that he should share some with me." ...I like buying DVD sets of my favorite television shows. ...We are only a few weeks away from opening day. Even less if you count the opening series in Japan. I hope the Red Sox have a hard time making it through customs when they get there. ...Someone may want to again take this over next week since I got conned into going down to my wife's hometown for Easter. Oh well, it will work out for me in the end like it always will. That means I won't have to go there for a very long time after this latest imposition. ...You want an idea how exciting it is down there? Picture having a job where all you do is sit in a chair and you have to look at a wall watching the paint dry from it. You can't do anything else except for getting up to use the bathroom or get a drink. It's that boring down there.

This thread is open for any member of the board who wants to come in and jot down whatever is on their mind. Anyone's welcome.

Updated to 3-9 ...Since I've been home recovering from this knee surgery I can not sleep through the night for some reason, and tonight is no different. So, I'm here. ...Speaking of that, I got to go see the knee doctor on Thursday. I am in no way ready to go back. I can't even go outside and walk on that snow without it bothering me. ...This weather sucks, doesn't it? I think brutushayesosu, when he said this in the shoutbox yesterday, really summed it up: "Tuesday it was 60 degrees here. Friday and today....Old Man Winter spreads his cheeks and squats." ...I just love reading and talking about baseball and everything about it during spring training. About the new prospects, your team's chances, listening to experiences of you lucky few on here that live in Arizona or Florida that get a chance to see this, everything. Not even the weather can over shadow this. ...But you got to remember, the result of the games don't matter. That's misleading about the spring. Hey, even Kyle Farnsworthless is looking good right now, you know what I mean? ...Call them what you want, Devil Rays or Rays, they're still the same old a-holes to me. This just adds another reason why I can't stand that Tampa Bay team. All I can hope is that someone gives it to them for what they did to Yankee prospect Francisco Cervelli. ...You know what the best part of being on staff here is? When you get to deal with new users who get such a big kick out what is offered here. I had three different ones this week that I exchanged PM's with that are overwhelmed at what this site has and what you great modders have done with this game. I don't think there are enough thank-you's in the world that you guys can get for your work. ...Anyone try that Gatorade G2 yet? That stuff's good, especially the grape. And that Snapple Antioxidant water isn't bad either. ...I have a fear of eating or drinking anything past the expiration date. If orange juice in my refrigerator expired yesterday, I won't touch it. Same for any kind of food. ...I'm not a beer drinker. Let me say that right off. But when I was in 7-11 this week I saw this for sale. What the heck is up with beer with clam juice? They don't sound like they should go together. Maybe it's an acquired taste? If so, I'm not acquiring it. ...Daylight Savings Time starts today, so we got to turn our clocks one hour ahead. ...I hear the plows outside constantly as I write. Not good. I think I'll try to go back to bed and try not to think about it.

Kraw please, if there's any questions on the runnings of this site bring up any comment in the Forum and Site Issues threadSITE ISSUES forum or send Trues a PM. I do recall when that happened a few years ago and the reaction it got. I do recall -and I know I'm right- that Trues asked for a five dollar donation from anyone at that time and in return they'd have lifetime access to all the downloads. And that's all I say about that because this thread isn't about this.

I may be able to help you, if you don't mind. Check out these 1937 Dodger uniforms. They were made by someone else and they are in our download section. They are 2X. Now, I am not that comfortable yet using the Tit program ( I still have trouble ) and since these uniforms were made before the Tit program was written, I do not know how to put these into the game. I just want you to know that. I would back up my models.big and just in case portraits.big (I always have backups of these) before installation. Here's a picture of these uniforms:

I was going to suggest making a throwback jersey for Toronto. Before the Blue Jays came in the league, they were a minor league city and their team name was the Toronto Maple Leafs. But I can't find any decent photos to show you. I did see photos of these uniforms and they weren't that bad.

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. But Cashman's the GM, you mean Hank could be a good owner.

What's your point?

....You guys have no idea how happy I am to be back here with all of you instead of being out of town for the weekend like I was. ...I hate tractor trailer drivers. These a-holes don't care what the weather conditions are, they still fly past you at 70 mph. On the NYS thruway and on Route 81 south past Syracuse these jokers acted like it was the middle of July instead of a snowstorm. ...Lucky me got to sleep in his favorite bed down there, the real soft one with no support. Try to picture Frankenstein when he was walking, stiff and rigid. That's me right now. ...Right after I write this post I have to go check up on the news in the world of sports and the world in general. They have a paper down there where my wife's family lives, but it's only good for lining the birdcage. ...On the way home we drove through Elmira, New York. That's Mark Twain country. I waved as we went past. No one waved back. ...Every time I take route 390 home past Elmira, I see a sign for the historical Newton Battlefield State Park. Well I never knew what it was until just now when I looked it up. Seems as if in 1779 the Continental Army went there and beat up a bunch of Iroquois Indians who were pro-British. Anyways, now I know and so do you. ...I didn't do a G.D. thing yesterday except watch TV and sleep in a chair. There's no internet access there. They're lucky they have a telephone. I had to watch a stupid movie called "Tommy Boy" with the late Chris Farley. He is another guy that I don't think is funny at all. ...All I know is that I support Hank Steinbrenner's comment in the latest issue of ESPN the (horse****)Magazine "Red Sox Nation? What a bunch of [expletive] that is," he said in an interview with The New York Times' Play magazine. "That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans. "Go anywhere in America and you won't see Red Sox hats and jackets, you'll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We're going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order." Brings a tear to my eye you guys, it really does. ...And seeing Kei Igawa still in a Yankee uniform brings a tear to my other eye. ...Want a good classic CD to listen to? Try The Who's Quadrophenia. Anything they did with Keith Moon it was great.

I sure can, I'll do it right now.

If someone would like to take the reigns on this when Sunday morning gets here, I'd appreciate it. I'll be out of town from Friday night until Sunday afternoon. Thank you.

Well, I've seen worse, but she just annoys me and that makes me not want to watch the stuff she's in. Nothing wrong with that. Blondes rule.

She is a ugly as she is annoying. I had to be forced to watch "How to lose a guy in ten days" because my wife said it was a "wonderful" movie. It sucked. That's why I won't go and see "Fool's Gold" only because she is in it.

Hell yeah. And don't be a stranger in this thread. I got a feeling if you put your random thoughts down here one morning it would be quite a read. :chin:
