That's quite a shock. I always hate it when sports stars do that to themselves, like the German goal keeper, Robert Enke, who walked in front of a train on Tuesday / Wednesday. Very sad and I hope that Wetteland gets the support he needs.

Also, do you think Mike Lupica is bitter?

Silver Sluggers were announced and as a result of that, I think we've seen that the MVP for the American League will be both a Gold Glover and Silver Slugger this year, but considering there were 8 people to do "the double" this year, it looks like the NL MVP will only have a Silver Slugger this time around (Pujols)

In the AL, you could easily argue that Ichiro, Torii Hunter, Derek Jeter, Joe Mauer, Evan Longoria and Mark Teixeira are worthy of MVP considerations.

Looking slightly deeper, I'd say that we can write off Hunter and Longoria from the MVP winning chances straight away. Ichiro is there for his consistant approach to his career numbers, as is Derek Jeter, though both have had good seasons.

While Jeter might be considered as a dark horse this year, the two front runners are undoubtedly Mauer and Tex. Without Tex, the Yanks might have only won the Wild Card. His defence has sparked the Yanks to great things this year and his acquisition was a major upgrade.

Mauer - yes, we know that there will be a little discussion as to why I'm not sure about him winning the MVP, so I'll sit on the fence a little and say that it's still a two horse race between Mauer and Tex, with Jeter coming in third for me.

I wouldn't use a book - there are usually 6 feet for the lap top to sit on without causing any damage to the unit. What you might find to more advantage is if you went and got a "cooling plate", which is a stand for a laptop that has fans mounted in it and is powered by a USB connection.

That, combined with a dust clean for the computer would certainly help.

How would the many crews and Flash colabs ever have started? Sure, some of the spam is just plain Gay and annoying, but some of it is also epic and considered part of the portal history.

I think you're taking a dim view of the situation here - you're not supposed to go out and find abusive reviews for the whistle points. You're supposed to go out and find the abusive reviews to clear Newgrounds up. Just go and have a look, there are thousands of abusive reviews on the site. I should know, after all.

Like B for instance.

Yeah, B started a revolution, where the Clock Crew stepped up and a bunch of animators made decent flash. Watching well animated Clock Crew flash always raises a smile. Then came the Lock Legion, which was basically because of internal politics within the Clock Crew. The other 'spin off' groups that have jumped on the bandwagon just did it for the spam, which is not to be encouraged.

Any way, SPam cCrews have started many actual crews like The Garbage Whistle Crew.

Which is completely useless and a waste of time

So are there any other annoying groups that we could go and BLAM away?

We're not a blamming crew. We encourage people to vote how they think a flash deserves to be voted upon.

That's about what you expect from Sony though - great on the graphics front when it comes to FMV, but the developers seem to have concentrated on the PC format for the main release of the game.

Talking of MVP, all three (or four, if you count Ichiro, as well) candidates won gold gloves, which is pretty cool. He'd have some competition from Molina, if he had the starting job in NY, but other than that, it's a free run for him.

You might be correct for this year, due to the addition of Teixeira, but I'm talking about 2003 onward as a whole infield for multiple seasons had they kept Polanco.

Hmm. The thing I was thinking about was the new line in the submission agreement which (on reading it again) says something like "due to new laws, you may not submit photographic images of nude people engaging in sexual activity".

Well, anything by GlamMaster would then be prohibited. I think common practice pretty much covers it, so it should be safe.

Thing is, I've no idea if a striptease counts as 'sexual activity' in the eyes of whoever wrote the law it's referring to (probably not, but you never know...). Anyone study law around here that can clarify what exactly counts as 'sexual activity' here? Where's the line between porn and garden-variety tits here?

I believe that since there's no vulgarity here - people could still get away with it as 'art' in most civilised countries, while certain Middle-Eastern states would view certain soap operas as pornographic.

Going by television rules, since there is no sign of an erect penis, or penetration, we cannot view that the protagonists are aroused, so therefore we cannot view it as "excessively pornographic"

In my view, let it ride.

Interesting thoughts. I don't watch the Yankees on a day to day basis, but if you think that is the option, well I guess age is finally catching up to him at his postition. Still, any Molina behind the plate is a good replacement.

Molina will be a good backup, plus he's a great defensive mentor for someone like Cervelli, who can call a good game.

Behind the plate this year, we all know about the issues with Posada / AJ, but the numbers of passed balls that Posada coughed up were up on his usual. With age, the defence will only go downhill, as will the power numbers.

2) Re-sign Matsui - there's your DH right there, so there would be no room at the inn for Posada. Sorry, but that's business.

Ya, that guy was a thorn in the Phillies side this post-season. Him and Damon at the plate... might as well just walk them to limit them to something less than a HR or 2B.
