Damn,I'll do it when I get home,have some great pics of HoJo but not working for me here at the job.....do you have to create an account for this to work?
|
Edgy DC Aug 16 2007 08:45 AM |
Not the lastings time I checked.
|
metirish Aug 16 2007 08:47 AM |
I did but I think you don't need to,anyway the geek squad here at work ain't letting me do it....
|
Benjamin Grimm Aug 16 2007 08:48 AM |
For consistency sake, should we do white Mets with realistic color skin or yellow skin. (Both are options.)
|
Benjamin Grimm Aug 16 2007 08:52 AM |
It's amazing how, when searching for a "large" image of Billy Wagner, I also get Matt LeBlanc, Sammy Davis Jr. and Opus the penguin.
|
Farmer Ted Aug 16 2007 08:52 AM |
Farmer Ted not on the list. I will do Omar Minaya. I noticed that the BoSox folks did Theo.
|
Willets Point Aug 16 2007 08:53 AM |
I think you use yellow for Caucausians and the other appropriate skin tones for players of African, Latin American, and Asian background.
|
Benjamin Grimm Aug 16 2007 08:59 AM |
Omar. He's inarticulate.
|
Edgy DC Aug 16 2007 09:01 AM |
In Simpsonia, the yellow man is white and the white man is yellow, and that's fine by me.
|
Edgy DC Aug 16 2007 09:02 AM |
Make sure you confirm the guy's age.

One gets strangely intimate with the ballplayer when answering the questions about specific physical characteristics.
|
Benjamin Grimm Aug 16 2007 09:46 AM |
I think it's short, tight, and curly. But I may be thinking of someone else.
|
Willets Point Aug 16 2007 09:48 AM |
I just went ahead and put a hat on Simpsonized Jose.

Especially since it's all done so crudely and need to be manually edited to get close.

HahnSolo Aug 16 2007 10:27 AM |
If the best Gotay portrait I can find is him in a Royals cap, is that OK? Will the cap translate when the picture is Simpsonized?
|
Edgy DC Aug 16 2007 10:34 AM |
Probably not.
|
DocTee Aug 16 2007 10:38 AM |
Time crunch-- need to catch a flight and can't find a large enough photo of Endy.
|
Willets Point Aug 16 2007 10:41 AM |
|
No the cap doesn't appear in the Simpsonized version.
|
Valadius Aug 16 2007 10:43 AM |
They only have one cap, and it's blue.
|
Edgy DC Aug 16 2007 10:51 AM |

i put it on pedro, maybe we should have decided to have everyone wear or not wear hats.
|
Benjamin Grimm Aug 16 2007 11:37 AM |
One thing that can be done in PhotoShop is we can draw (or paste) an orange interlocking NY on the blue cap.

HahnSolo Aug 16 2007 12:29 PM |
So where are you guys finding photos big enough? Any Gotay portrait I find I run through and it is too small.
|
Edgy DC Aug 16 2007 12:32 PM |
The pictures don't seem to have as much to do with the transfer as your own editing. I'd take the biggest one you can find, download it, and then resize it.
|
m.e.t.b.o.t. Aug 16 2007 12:40 PM |
m.e.t.b.o.t. is disappointed to see that, once again, robots are left out of the collective consciousness.

I just found a head shot of Valentin in Google Images and then resized it by 600%.

OlerudOwned Aug 16 2007 01:16 PM |
Getty Images is a good place to find the big versions of the spring training portrait shots. The watermark usually doesn't obscure the face.

m.e.t.b.o.t. Aug 16 2007 01:17 PM |
who should m.e.t.b.o.t. simpsonize?

metsmarathon Aug 16 2007 01:19 PM |
is there some sort of preferred attire? i just sent in a john maine, but i'm not thrilled with him...

Benjamin Grimm Aug 16 2007 01:21 PM |
There's a Simpsonized Mets uniform somewhere. (From the episode where Apu tried to Americanize himself.)

Someones gotta do Mr.Met..

Check out Willie.
|
m.e.t.b.o.t. Aug 16 2007 01:35 PM |
m.e.t.b.o.t. has sent a mr. met to project coordinator edgydc. m.e.t.b.o.t. is not convinced that m.e.t.b.o.t.'s handywork is yet complete, nor does m.e.t.b.o.t. believe that the burger king simsponize me is optimized for mascot transformation. m.e.t.b.o.t. will endeavor to further modify simpsonized mr. met until simpsonized mr. met is deemed suitable. currently, simpsonized mr. met appears to be a pale bald guy, with stitches on his head, which is technically correct.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 16 2007 01:39 PM |

Sounds like Gary Cohen to me.

Simpsonized Mr. Met is rather creepy. Almost as creepy as the Capital City Goofball:
|
HahnSolo Aug 16 2007 02:38 PM |
This is taking up a little too much work time for me. If Ruben Gotay can wait until tomorrow for me to figure out resizing images and such, I'll try again. If that's too late, someone else can have a go at it.
|
Rockin' Doc Aug 16 2007 07:34 PM |
It took some searching, but I found a good shot of David Newhan without a hat on. Unfortunately, the picture is only 140 x 187 so I don't think it can be used.
|
Edgy DC Aug 16 2007 07:37 PM |
Again, their hattedness doesn't seem to matter much. You can also resize the photos with your desktop art thingies.

Kid Carsey Aug 16 2007 08:11 PM |

Frayed Knot Aug 16 2007 08:14 PM |
I have no idea where to find a large head-and-shoulders shot of Damion Easley nor any clue as to how to re-size a smaller one if I could find one of those (which I can't).
|
Edgy DC Aug 16 2007 08:36 PM |
Gots to work with whats we got.
|
Rockin' Doc Aug 16 2007 08:44 PM |
When I resized the image, it loses definition and gets blurred. I don't have any Photoshop (or similar software) on my computer. I may be ill equipped and almost certainly am ignorant of what I need to do in order to complete this assignment.
|
Methead Aug 16 2007 10:54 PM |
I resized my photo to the point of excess blurriness, and the Simpsons machine didn't care... at least you'll get a starting point that you can customize from.
|
G-Fafif Aug 17 2007 01:01 AM |
My apologies to Pedro Feliciano, but I've never even been able to figure out how to post a picture here or find an icon or nothin'.
|
Mendoza Line Aug 17 2007 05:06 AM |
The Simpsonizer keeps telling me that it can't see Philip Humber's face, and I've tried three different photos.

HahnSolo Aug 17 2007 06:50 AM |
I've given up. Anybody want to take Gotay off my incapable hands?

Billy Wagner has been Simpsonized.

One can resize with Microsoft Paint, available in pretty much every Windows package since 1990. Open the photo and select Stretch/Skew from the Image menu.

I'd be all for letting soupcan do his thing with my HoJo...just the uni mind.
|
Edgy DC Aug 17 2007 09:43 AM |
Yeah, some of us have worked to hard on the hairlines to have everybody capped. I think it'd be cool to dress them all in jerseys but just have soupcan slap the insignia on the ones who already have caps.

I was able to Simpsonize a picture of Mrs. Doc, so I'm hopeful that I can now get my assignment of David Newhan completed after work this evening.

I can't download from that site for some reason. Could be my firewall. I need a pinch-hitter.

I just can't get the damn thing to work with David Newhan. I have tried everything and have numerous enlarged images of Newhan on my computer, but I just can't get the images to the Simpsonizer.

Frayed Knot Aug 18 2007 05:48 AM |
My latest snag is that when visiting the Simpsonize site I get a real nice looking robin's-egg blue screen. Nothing else, just a blank blue screen.

I know you're all wondering, "What's the point without Guy Conti?" Well, you'll be happy to know that we've got Conti on board.
Valentin (I think) turned in by Willets.

I have given up hope of completing my assignment. David Newhan is available for anyone that wishes to pinch hit for me.

bmfc1 Aug 23 2007 08:15 AM |
Edgy, the Burgos picture you sent from Wiki doesn't work (perhaps it's too big). I Googled him and all the existing pictures are too small! I'm trying!

Ken Griffey Jr., last active ringer for the Power Plant softball team, was knocked out of the big game due to a case of gigantism, brought on by an addiction to the nerve tonic Mr. Burns pushed.
