 == This Discussion Page Is Absurd! == 

 I was just browsing through WikiPedia and came across this discussion on MVP Baseball 2005 and I wanted to throw my two cents in on the topics raised on the discussion page. 

 First, how is this game a ""collector's item""?! The title of the game includes the year 2005 on it for God's Sake!!! (A “Classic"" Yes! A ""Collector's Item""?...What?!) 

 Second, yes this game is still sold in stores! I've seen it at multiple places of business without naming names. Just because EA can't make a new MLB game doesn't mean that the old ones that have already been released have to be pulled off the shelves! That's the stupidest statement concerning video games I've ever heard!!! And I've heard some stupid stuff about video games before! I mean you can still buy brand new, shrink-wrapped copies of ""Triple Play Baseball"" from 2001 if you wanted!!!!! 

 Third, if you pay $100 for ANY video game you are officially the stupidest man alive! Period! No Discussion!!!! And you are closely followed by the (explicit deleted) jerk that's trying to sell a video game for $100! 

 Fourth, WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S A ""DESIGN FLAW"" TO ONLY BE ABLE TO CONTROL ONE TEAM IN SEASON MODE?????!!!!!!!!!! Jesus H. Christ! Every time I thought I've read the dumbest statement, you guys proceed to top one another!!!!!!!!! 1.) Why would you want to play as multiple teams in the same season?! 2.) I don't know what ""handful of baseball video games"" you've been playing 'cause I'm hard pressed to think of one game that let's you control two teams in the same season! 3.) What the heck does ""Design Flaw"" even mean? Did Calvin Klein make this game?! A ""Design Flaw"" is wearing a pair of flip-flops with full-length jeans, not controlling one team in Season Mode!!!!! 

 Fifth, (This is fun.) Time for the Coup de Grace! Yes Virginia, this game has a Red Sox bias!!!!! I noticed this day one, when I bought it! This is going to take a while so I'll put my proof in a list. 

 1.) Manny Ramirez is on the cover! Granted the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 thus they put a Red Sox...Sock?...Sick?...Suck? (What is the singular form of Red Sox anyway? I've always wondered that.) Anyway, they won in 2004 so they put Manny on the 2005 cover, but if you use this logic why was Albert Pujols of the also-ran Saint Louis Cardinals, who didn't even make the playoffs in 2003 and actaully finished in their division behind the Chicago Cubs, on the MVP 2004 Cover?! Why not everyone's favorite inebriant Dontrelle Willis of the World Champion Marlins?! 
 ANSWER: Red Sox Bias 

 2.) The St. Patrick's Day Jersey. Why? Sure it's different. It's a new element that I don't remember in any other baseball video game. I don't care about it, but, nonetheless, it is a new element not in any other game. But there's already way, WAY! too many Red Sox Jerseys in this game. Each of the 30 MLB teams has at least one, in some cases two, set(s) of throwback jerseys, but the Red Sox get THREE: their 1903 Home/Road, their 1908 Home/Road, their 1908 Alternate, and the cheat code-required St. Patrick's Day Jersey. Also, the cheat code to unlock this jersey is to create a player with the name ""NEVERLOSESITE"". That's Never Lose Site, as in the Red Sox and there fans ""never lost site"", ""never gave up hope"", ""never..."" Who Gives A S-!!! This is all Red Sox Propaganda! Why add the St. Patrick's Day Jersey? Why create this obviously spiteful code? Why?... 
 ANSWER: Red Sox Bias 

 3.) There's an unlockable version of Fenway Park. No, that's not a typo! You see, Current Day Fenway Park is in the game, but one Fenway Park is not enough! No. no. no. They have Fenway Park circa 1934 or ""Fenway Park (Classic)"" as it's dubbed in the game as an Unlockable Stadium. ""CLASSIC""?! ""CLASSIC""?! ""Fenway Park (Classic)"" is Fenway Park Pre-Green Monster Noise-Bleed Seats! ""Fenway Park (Classic)"" is Fenway Park as it's been for the last 70 years, with the Green Monster. That's the first thing you think of when you hear ""Fenway Park"". Besides, only 3 people in the whole world know that the Green Monster was not actually part of the original Fenway Design. And then they further add to the retardedness by dating this ""Fenway Park(Classic)"" as 1912 - Present...Swear to God! It says that! Gee, I thought the Green Monster still existed? (That's sarcasm by the way.) Why two Fenways?

 4.) The Opening Movie. As you start MVP Baseball 2005 you are greeted by ""Cover Boy: Maybe He's Born With It, Maybe It's Maybeline"" Manny Ramirez hitting two homeruns off of...guess who the New York Yankees, along with a caption at the bottom of the screen reading ""History Was Made In 2004..."" That's rig
