Updated to 11-19 ...And the PS3 fights of 2006 are under way. I've been reading about fistfights and cops being called to stores to break up customers before they kill each other over this. My God, we haven't seen this since X-box 360, and then before that with X-box, and before that with the PS2. At least people are consistent. ...Had to go to COMP-USA yesterday to look for something. I hardly go there because this store is located in a suburb of my town that I hate to go to. The biggest change I noticed about that store is the layout. Years ago they had aisles and aisles of software. They don't anymore. They do have some now, they just have them on a shelf in the back of the store. They really make you look for it. What they don't make you look for is the "Stereo Surround System" for the X-Box 360, which is on display right near where you come in. That can be yours for only $499. Even COMP-USA has turned their back on the PC user. ...In the I didn't know that department, which in my case is a very big department, I found out a pretty interesting tidbit about "A Christmas Carol." Do you know how before a movie starts they have those trivia things on the screen to pass time away before the show? Well they had one about this movie. It seems that since 1900, this story by Charles Dickens has been made into a movie over 30 times. Well, I thought it was interesting anyways. ...I am off this week from work for vacation. I was off last week because I was not feeling well. Tomorrow is a day I am not looking forward to because that's the day we get our Christmas shopping out of the way. Oh, the walking I am going to do tomorrow. ...That Ohio State and Michigan football game yesterday was everything it was built up to be. Over time that might prove to be one of college football's classic games of the decade. ...I think it is nice to read that the Yankees have an interest in bringing back Ted Lilly. I didn't want him to leave in 2002 because he was showing a lot of promise right before he got traded. I'd love to get him back instead of Andy Pettitte, who can stick his head in the Texas sand for all I care. ...It boggles the mind that a team like Boston can bid 51.1 million dollars just to talk to this Mataszuka guy and still with a straight face cry poverty to everyone. And what makes it worse, people in here and all over baseball fall for it. ...Going to go see Casino Royale over the Thanksgiving weekend. I've seen all the Bonds so I have to see this one. Early reviews say this is going to be another good one. ...I have a date for my knee surgery and it's January 9th. Never before has one person looked forward to going under the knife as I am. ...Enjoy this week if you have some time off, and I hope each one of you has a great Thanksgiving.

No problem. I'm a Bubba fan too.

Updated to 11-12 ....Hospitals are no place to be. Trust me. ....But this is not a bad weekend at all! The Yankees got rid of Gary Sheffield, thank God and are very close to getting rid of Jaret Wright. And I like what they are getting in return: pitching. ...It's starting to get colder out there now. People say "the most wonderful time of the year" is coming up for the Christmas season. Maybe so, but not weather wise. ...I am a little confused about why major league teams had to bid so much money just to be able to talk with that Japanese pitcher. I mean, if you want to be in the major leagues so bad, have open negotiations with the teams. I just don't get why the teams have to bid 20 million or more just to talk to this guy. ...One final note on the Yankees. I don't want them to get Roger Clemens back. Or Andy Pettitte. ...Now that the elections are said and done, the politicians can go back to doing nothing. ...I'm old enough to remember when the Raiders would lose two to three games a year instead of winning two to three games a year. You have no idea how depressing that is. ...One of the things I do in here daily is go to the Creative Discussions thread and see the newest sigs and artwork because I really appreciate the work that is done there. ...For the $600 asking price they want, how many people are going to get a PS3? ...Then again these damn things will sell out in one day and it'll just be another reason to ignore the PC gamer market.

I've collected them all from two places on the Internet. Basically I concentrate on Yankee photos but I do branch out on other ones. I keep a photo album and I add to it all the time. My sources are here: The Yahoo web site for Yankee pictures. Note if you go there you will see an option on the right hand side that has a drop down menu that says "Other teams." You can view photos from every team that way. Of course, during the baseball season there are a lot more added to this daily. I also get them from CBS Sportsline. Check out this thread right here on how I do it. Again, you get more photos when the season is going on.

DUnit: Here are some Bubba Crosby photos

Here are some Melky's for you:

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.
