2 out of 10, 160 seconds. You read that right. I was that bad today.

Not too long ago Muller_11 had the idea to create a 2005 total conversion mod because as he explained that when he joined here he never had the chance to play the game with the 2005 roster and the mods made by the people who were here at the time. An interesting idea I thought to myself and Muller made it happen and in a big way. You can download the mod right here and it is very easy to install and get in to. For veterans of this website this mod is a glimpse into our past as we began to collect and use the first mods that were released here and for newer members you will notice right away how good the modders who were here at that time improved this game in every area and you can see why that even today this game is the best computer baseball game around. Muller includes the original rosters that was made for this game along with portraits and the uniform set from Moser316 and the All-Star game uniforms were made by UMachines. Also included are player audios, cyberfaces from many cyberface creators and of course updated and improved stadiums from the stadium modders. You may ask “why create this 2005 mod when all you have to do is install the game from your CD?” That’s an easy question to answer because the default or “clean version” of the game as I like to call it when I am installing a total conversion or classics mod has no mods included. Go ahead and look at the default game and stadiums and uniforms, etc, etc and you will see how much improvements were made in this game and how impressive the modders on this website are. This is why I am forever grateful to them. My first impression when I got into this game was that it brought me back to the time when I was adding these mods as they came out. This mod also showed what I liked and did not like about the game back in 2005. At that time I did not know how to change the jukebox music until someone uploaded the Ditty Importer and I got rid of these songs once and for all. I also liked that the default overlay is here only because it would have been impossible to choose one from that time because the overlays that were coming out back then were outstanding. Of all the things I liked about this mod I have to say the roster was my favorite because I got re-introduced to players I have not thought of in years. In my exhibition game with Pittsburgh and San Diego I saw quite a few and I’ll get to one of them when I display the screen shots. Every team is going to have a lot of players who have been out of the spotlight in years and it was fun to play a game with them again after all this time. Muller did a great job on this mod and he deserves all the credit in putting this all together. I highly recommend this mod. Screenshots Here is the default overlay that came with this game. This is why I am thankful for all the overlays we have. This is what I was talking about. Here is Padres shortstop Khalil Greene. When this guy came up he had a lot of promise but then just went away. Later on he was with the Cardinals and soon after out of baseball. You will find players like him on every roster in this mod.

7 out of 10, 107 seconds. Yeah I got seven but I was stumped on a few of them. And what a race we have going. Four people have a chance to win and after my performance today I am out of the top spot.

Maybe I should try this the next time!

2 out of 10, 165 seconds. Let's see, the Winston Cup, what European club did so-and-so play for, where did some guy go to college and rugby World Cup questions. With questions like that getting two right is a major accomplishment for me!

5 out of 10, 121 seconds. This four-way race is going to get even tighter today.

Don't worry Jim. You guys got me later on this week. My goal is to get at least half of the general ones right. I'd of guessed either Ted Williams, Babe Ruth or Barry Bonds.

10 out of 10, 42 seconds. I have to build on days like this because when we get to the general questions this week I am going to fall apart.

7 out of 10, 88 seconds. Tough ones today but two of the ones I missed were on me. Also, we have one exciting race going on.

10 out of 10, 36 seconds. I needed this after yesterday.

Hey!!! Ok!!! Spring training opens and we have already received our first exaggeration of the season. Aaron Boone just said the Yankees are "hellbent on being a champion." Wooo, what do you think of that? Gives you goose bumps doesn’t it? He neglects to say that this organization is always “hellbent” on this and it seems to me he is already putting up smoke and mirrors ahead of the first rash of injuries that should happen next week or the very latest the last week of February. I am conditioned now not to believe anything this guy says ever again.

Oh my God! Why do I suck at these general questions? 😄

2 out of 10, 122 seconds. Now what did I say yesterday? I have two weeks of general questions to mess up on and I sure did it today. There was a three way tie for first place going into today but with what I did today I really messed that up. We have exactly two weeks to go and these general questions will haunt me. You guys do great in this section!

7 out of 10, 101 seconds. I was stumped on a few of them and with two weeks remaining it is going to be another close one. What worries me is I have two weeks of general questions to mess up on. 😮

3 out of 10, 144 seconds. A typical day for me with these general questions. The Portuguese Cup final game, the Grand Prix and the Winfield Cup (whatever that is) were questions I had no clue on.

9 out of 10, 69 seconds. Slow as hell today. I missed a Yankee one if anyone can believe it.

10 out of 10, 42 seconds. Yeah I did ok but I could not get into a rhythm like I was on Friday.

Who the hell is Eddie O'Brien?

8 out of 10, 47 seconds. Those Joe Schultz questions (manager of the Seattle Pilots) get me every time. Thank you Fiebre. It was a lot of luck on my part.

And you my friend are going to break it. I don't know when but it'll happen. You have two 31 second ones and today you had 32 seconds. Any other day that score is a winner but for an extreme case of luck on my part I passed it. I have to do well on days like this because all of you guys wipe the floor with me on general questions.

Thank you Laroquece! 🙂

10 out of 10, 29 seconds. I could not believe the time when I saw it. I know I was doing ok but I had no idea I would get under 30 seconds. This is a new record for us. I still do not believe it.

Yeah, that's what I hear.

6 out of 10, 66 seconds. Considering these were general questions I got very lucky today. Very lucky.

7 out of 10, 73 seconds. Today was a coin flip day because I guessed right on four questions.
