Thank you Magellan. Why start a thread about this and furthermore, why start it in PHF? I, too, am an IHSA umpire and this is common knowledge. I believe the term you are looking for is "framing." You are taught not to fall victim to "framing," and I guarntee you the umpires at the professional level wouldn't be were they are today if they consistantly fell victim to this "art." There is nothing wrong with it and it does work from time to time, but c'mon. No thread.

Alright computer nerds, time to come out in force. Having never expierenced any problems with my media player in the past, I have absolutely no idea where to begin. Anytime I attempt to use it (i.e. for MLB.tv or any other streaming video) I have this pop up: WTF!!! I don't even have Navigator. Please, please help--it's really appreciated.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 12, 2005 -> 10:49 AM) depends, i guess. Big name prospects are there, some were probably just completely made up. f***in' ay. I can't wait to get started. My PS2 is currently at my lakehouse but on its way home today, so I should be getting started on a Dynasty either today or tomorrow. Expect a lengthy MVP FAQ thread coming from me in the not too distant future.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 12, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) real team names. only minor leaguers who have played at least 1 MLB game have their real names, if not, fake. Are the rest of the cats the "unofficial" official players like they have in the NCAA series? Or are they guys completely made up?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 12, 2005 -> 10:01 AM) If we can end up going 5-1 on this road trip, I will be more than happy. ^^^ I'll be keeping a watchful eye on Freddy Garcia. He's been lights-out his last couple outings and if this is something he can mantain--watch out. Go get em'.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 12, 2005 -> 09:47 AM) We had dinner with a scout last night and he had great things to say about him as well. One thing specifically he did say was that his change-up was "very sneaky" out of his glove. Change-up.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 12, 2005 -> 10:14 AM) Great work, and I think im going to put into MVP today. Hey Tony, I just got MVP the other day and haven't really had a chance to dick around with Dynasty mode, but do they have the real team names (likely) and prospect names (unlikely) in the game? How does that all work? I'll be posting a MVP FAQ thread soon because I don't have the time nor drive to make it through 76 pages of MVP talk, but the help is appreciated.

So long Iron Mike. Nice knowing you. As a boxing enthusiast, I'm completely at a loss. Great Story by Yahoo

Go get em' Mark! Tonight's as good a chance as ever to extend the streak!

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 11, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) I made one if anyone wants to use it. Boo-Hoo Look at Me! Look at Me!

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 12:56 PM) I am sure Cub kissing ass Harry brought it up this sight blows He wasn't even in-studio.

Now he's speaking to Korey Patterson saying he thought this was going to be his break-through year. Oops. Blah. Blah. Blah. Cubs talk now. I'm done.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 10:10 AM) Steve Phillips and expert on the situation in one sentence? His exact words. He questions how firey managers will sustain themselves and questions the "that's just Ozzie being Ozzie" supporters when the team isn't playing well. He thinks managers, and I tend to agree with this, that are even keeled, Torre, Cox, LaRussa, are the ones that work.

He didn't really give Farmio the time of day, but he still maintains he jumped on the Sox and is kinda backing off. He felt he was a good guy to speak to the situation because he dealt with a firey manager in Bobby V. in New York and thinks of himself as an expert on the situation.

Now they are playing the Ed Farmer soundbite for Phillips--this oughta be rich.

Cruise looked like a rat on cocaine on Oprah. It was a complete joke and rather disturbing to watch. ...funny how these two find love when they both have summer movies to promote.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:56 AM) You can't grade drafts before anyone pleays in the system. Respectfully disagree. Unless, of course, you are only speaking of the MLB draft.

One of the rare exceptions: a new poster that has been nothing short of excellent. Happy B-Day!

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:16 AM) i think you should all be congratulating me and addison for being whiny b****es and getting this thread rolling "Shut-uuuuuuuuuuup"

Glad to hear you had a great time! That was a very fun series in a very neat ballpark.

I, for one, got a kick out of it. Fireronzook.com orginated this stuff and has yet to be challenged.

...to be honest, I'm still a little pissed my question didn't make it in there. First-class job!

I SS.

I have no clue, but I suspect it has something to do with those runners were attributed to the pitcher, having not reached on an error, but simply scored on one.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 9, 2005 -> 11:00 AM) I hope you were sure to ask him Addison't question about the current economic crisis in the Philippines.... Seriously.. thanks Cerb. Hey Now!!! That is a very pressing issue worth visiting with our newest strapping young lad.
