| Jan. 2, 2012 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: bifocals and softball I have noticed that with lined bifocals the ball will move when it crosses the line--but with progressive I have not noticed this ---I do have a problem of when running the glasses seem to bounce a little thereby "moving" the ball--any suggestions for this---also I had sunglases made with single prescription for softball -- |

| Dec. 31, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Question about your "LEAGUE" rules Gary you are so negative and so wrong here--I played in a church league for the past couple of yesra and we have not won any games yet we all laugh and joke shake each others hands when the game is over and pray together--it is fun just being together---you must really have a horrible life with all the negativity yow spread on here--everyone please pray for Gary---- |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... apparently that must be the reason that no one on here has agreed with the things you say--tell yo uwhat i believe you can go to my profile my email address is there contact me and I will send yo umy phone number--we can talk not a need to bore the guys here with childish bickering |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... I realize that every time I read one of your comment---and then read the next one where you have changed your stance--come on professor show me your brilliance--so far yo uhave failed miserably |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: correct/incorrect dugouts lessons paid for in a school do not give a person intelligence or common sense--I have never seen a post by yo uthat is agreed with to the contrary you are about the only one I have seen disagree with me and on this thread most saw the humor immediatley and did not respond-- |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... Gary the term was used by a child because he was made to look like the fool he is---i8ssues? Yes sadly I have some issues we all do--I am here for fun and to spar with you (an easy target) someone with intelligence realizes when they are bested and move on to something else--you just keep changing your stance and looking more foolish so have fun and I will laugh every time I post something to make you look bad |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: to play or not to play each and everyone of us sent in a certain amount of money for a membership--by doing so we agreed to play be a set of rules--if any of us do not like a rule send in a request to have it amended---arguing the same old feeble objections in an open forum really has no affect. Simply put we either play by the rules as they are--offer changes or quit--nothing else makes sense--not getting ones way makes one unhappy and having fun is what this is all about--- |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: correct/incorrect dugouts Gary19 in a battle of wits you would be unarmed----I have watched your posts and most make no sense let alone lend credibility to a point of contention |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: correct/incorrect dugouts I am amazed that anyone could have responded to my ignorance in a serious way!!! and MD you added a beautiful touch!! it all comes down to money |

| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rule change Interaction trying to be safe in order to have the opportunity to score later is again the reason for a good slide---but one thing that is really inportant if you are going to score--you have to play--no one can score from their keyboard |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rule change Interaction Gary again you change--can you not stay on subject--your original situation was a throw coming in from left field---that was answered so you change to breaking up a double play--- |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: correct/incorrect dugouts THANK YOU GUYS---YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY I knew I could get someone ot argue even with the most adsurd idea!!!!!!!!!! laughing so hard there are tears in my eyes |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: correct/incorrect dugouts but what if you are continuing to play on a field and have the wrong dugout ??? |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rule change Interaction and on we go-----Gary I covered the second base situation in my first post--scenerio--barrel hard into second attempting to run over second baseman and chance having him fall on you possibly breaking something on one or both--or slide with entire body toward opposite outfield side and reach out with inner hand--conclusion with old vision hand much harder to see and tag than an overweight body---I think that is called finesse---perhaps all do not understand that aspect of playing |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: correct/incorrect dugouts In going back in memory all the way to my youth I find that the Home Team normally occupys the the 3rd base dugout. In several tournaments that my team was in this year after the coin toss we wound up in the wrong dugout. This caused me much confusion. If we were the visitors my mind automactically sent me to the first base dugout. Heck I almost got whipped several times for going through someones bat bag looking for my stuff. I think we should just stand on the field with out equipment until after the coin toss and then proceed to the proper dugout. What do yo uthink on this subject??? |
| Dec. 29, 2011 steve65 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rule change Interaction Come on Gary---lets erase the batters box around your thinking and look at these rules for what they are. First this is a SERIOR Softball organization. The extra home plate the extra first base are there for the supposed safety of the "OLD" players. Our old bones do get brittle and they do break when abused hence minimize the danger. Before you ask "why no extra second base" and extra obstacle in the open field would create more not less opportunity for injury for sight challenged "old guys". The second baseman in thi sinstance should have a pitcher shortstop first baseman watching for him-- why does "idiots" have to be brought into play?? Guys that want to win at any cost --hence senior bats harder balls--will do whatever it takes to win but that does not make anyone an idiot. Personally I slide far more than most but learned with age that sliding away from the bag (second or third) will most likely get you a safe call quicker than going hard into the bag. It is much harder to tag a reaching hand than it is an entire body. Common sense dictates in most instances |
| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What makes a tournament a national tournament Wes you from Louisville?? gonna play in the indoor league?? it starts 1/10 at mockingbird valley soccer club--interested?? this year could be interesting--I am leaning toward the SilverSticks myself--really enjoyed playing with them in Ft Myers of course winning it made it that much better-- |
| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: WHAT TEAM DOES EVERYONE PLAY FOR gary yes we played either two or three times in Dalton---if memory serves me correctly the gray Sox were AA according to SPA--I think you beat us twice and we got you once--this was my first year to travel--coming back slowly after 40 years off--I am the bearded guy--- |
