good job again.
Yankees suck though.
I'm sorry, but
1. I'm a rays fan
2. I hate any steinbrenner
3. I hate A-Rod

Hey, I'm a semi-rays fan. What do you have against the Yanks now haha? I know Steinbrenner has a temper, but he gives a hell of a lot to charity. And if it weren't for Steinbrenner, their may not have even been free agency (He was one of the biggest fighters for it). He has goten much better in recent years then how he used to be. Plus, he's no longer manager, his son's are. Their temper is not even comparable. The Yanks aren't doing to well recently, hate the Red Sox. Yankee players are about as nice as they get. Let me go through all the players and which ones have charities:
Jorge Posada: Yes, a brain disease cancer for something his son has
Giambi: I believe so, not sure for what
Cano: I believe he owns a big charity that has something to do with helping out the poor and underprivileged in South America.
Jeter: Huge one, but I forget what it is (haha)
A-Rod: Yes, a pretty big one and help a lot in Jeter's and others charity.
Damon: Yes, a Roberto Clemente nominated charity for helping injured Veterans.
Abreu: Yes, I forget what
Cabrera: I don't believe so but he isn't paid much
Matsui: I am almost certain
Wang: I believe so, but I'm really not sure
Mussina: Yes
Pettite: Yes
Joba: He would if he had any money but being a rookie he doesn't get paid much. He does do a lot of charity work but he doesn't have the money to make one
Mariano: Yes
I'm leaving a few out I've forggotten.
Oh and do you hate A-Rod because he just hit a grandslam against you?
You'd rather have him with the most homers then Bonds, right?

well yes, but he (A-Rod) still has an ego (and too much money), and steinbrenner wasn't the only guy fighting for free agency.
What about Curt Flood? He has a book writen about his fight for FA.
other than that, though, they're ok.

A-Rod isn't that bad, the media attacks him all the time. They allways exagerate everything and write stories that aren't based on any truth. I can't stand the biased media (especially fox news) and I wish they'd stay out of Sports. Hell, I wish they'd say out of everything. By media, I'm talking specifically about gossip and biased news media. I prefer newspapers lik the New York Times (which is a little biased, but not much. Only it's opinion pieces are, and they have a few republican writers there).

ummm, Fox Sports Networks are pretty good believe it or not. All of the Detroit games are broadcasted on FSN Detroit. I love them, and the annoucers they have on FSN. Rod Allen and Mario Impemba are our sportcasters for the Tigers.

Just love FSN, nuff' said from me. :P

I hate it with a pasion. Actually, I just think their sports is sub-par comprared to ESPN and the Yanks announcers (I know I'm biased, but there are very few announcers who come close to them. The Yankees are even better then ESPN in my opionion and the only ones I've seen that come closer are Dodgers, Red Sox at second best, and ESPN). What I hate is everything else on Fox. If you want to see how biased it is, look up the "daily show gender card" and watch a video.
Edit: Detroit's might be different, I've never seen them announced. Without doubt, the most painful 20 minutes of baseball I've ever put up with was Arizona's announcer, they are horrific. I couldn't watch the game with them.

Due to the amount of home work I have, I might not continue this log. I probably will do a years worth, and if I do it will now be the long version report but only once a month. Sorry, but I don't have the time anymore.

Thanks mate. I'm also strangely losing my enjoyment in Power Pros, I need a break.
Jeter now has the most hits as a Yankee!!! (in real life!)

Are you losing interest as a whole, or only one mode of PP?
Because I will lose one interest and go to a different mode........

That happens eventually, when November rolls around and all the new games come out, PP will rarely be touched.

Nah, when November roles around I might be buying one more game at once. I will have a job at once but I'm very frugal with my money and I don't want my parents to buy anything for me. I'm trying to get in the mind-set of buying very little to prepare myself for College and life. I won't be paying for college but I'll probably pay for my meals and after college my rent of course.
