Jan. 29, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Reclassifying Teams At one point the board had 6 members and 145 anonymous viewers. The most I have ever seen on the website at one time.
Jan. 29, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Reclassifying Teams I have no personal knowledge of the teams in question, but I believe if a roster is completely reworked then a team can appeal to have their classification changed. The name alone does not mean a team should be classified in a particular division.

Jan. 28, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: OFF season Hitting drills It was one of the Huge lights poles in between the fields. Not one of my stellar moments. That was not the last time I was a horses ass, but pretty darn close. The closest you will see me getting upset now is if I hit a ball poorly, you will get a Dad gummit and thats about it. Maturity has its advantages...LOL...that and bats with no warranty.
Jan. 25, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: OFF season Hitting drills I resemble that remark....Long time ago and I never said a word to anybody...just me being frustrated.
Jan. 25, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: OFF season Hitting drills I have often been asked. How do you do what you do? I am often confused as to whether they mean: my ability to find the best/cheapest buffets in town manage to ask for a runner before I hit stay married to an absolute saint or hit So I thought I would post this link for the hitting part, the rest I am protecting under the trade secrets provision in Federal law. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-ngmqC_ftQ&feature=em-uploademail
Jan. 25, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Best Pitcher Webbie's statement - whom you guys consider the best pitchers in the game. If Webbie asked who is the Best pitcher in the game then conceivably you would be correct in your analogy that he had not seen everyone therefore his conclusion would be flawed. However, since he qualified his request by stating who do you “consider” the best, he requested an opinion therefore all responses would be deemed responsive. Personal opinion is accepted unless the term expert opinion is applied then the individual’s experience is foundational in determining value. Just start every sentence with “in my opinion" and your comments are considered as delivered. Caveat: This does not work when talking to you wife, teenage kids or the IRS…just saying
Jan. 24, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Best Pitcher Our team does not have a bat boy, we have a BAT VALET. Nobody better than Joe Brown. Every bat is lined up, they are always wiped down, umpire always has balls (no pun intended), and no bats are ever left in the dugout. It seems silly, but he truly adds value to our team.
Jan. 24, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Best Pitcher You are assuming Bobby can see straight...I have had BP pitchers that try to work on their game while pitching BP. I spent $140 on a pitching machine so Castro, Lloyd, Crawford and I can hit good balls without us being there for 2 hours. Amazing how quickly you can do BP when every ball is 11' and a strike. Back to the thread (West Coast bias rearing its ugly head except for Bobby Davis - Hollis, Manny-Mavericks, Flip-Mavericks, Gombos-Nighthawks, Ray Ray-Double Play (that is who you meant Kennard), and Conway-DK are the best at throwing a difficult ball and fielding the middle. The book is still out on our new pitcher, Mickey-Joe Brown's Allstars, but I think he is gonna be a goodin.
Jan. 23, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TOC 55 division I agree that it is an expensive trip, but if I have the time off and the team agreed to go, I would go. I believe you can equate TOC on the same level as the Pro Bowl. It is more for the recognition and the experience than it is for the actual play. My brother is playing in the ISSA TOC this weekend. He and his wife are stoked to get out of Ohio in the winter.
Jan. 22, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Tournment Pitcher from NY looking to join a team D5, I don't know where you play softball, but I have never seen talent as an obstacle in playing on a new team. Now attitude is a different animal. There are many good ball players not asked because of their insistence of emphasis on the me in team as opposed to the team as a whole. I will agree the thread has been a little harsh, but seriously you don't stand on a soap box and boast without willing to suffer the consequences. I agree with your statement about playing with friends, life is too short not too spend it with people you enjoy being around. So it boils down to words are words and actions are facts. We, the softball community, look forward to welcoming new players into our group. After all we are not getting younger. Come knowing, that past success does not always translate into future success. More importantly league play does not always translate into tourney caliber results. CERCE/MD may be the best to hit the scene in years, but until he has proven so, he is just promoting a product that is not on the market.
Jan. 21, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: loosing toenails I lost my toenail on my left big toe. My problem was that I did not get my glove down quick enough when Charlie Carter hit one at me. 1st inning 1st game 2012, there were other places he could have hit me that I don't use......
Jan. 21, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Best leadoff hitter I hate to do this because his ego is already big enough. Gary Springer, Mavericks then Summerville. Learning to hit, as a Big Time over the line player, he would just drive defenses nuts. Move in, he hits it over your head, stay back and he would dink it over the infield. Infield play back he would slap it and out run the throw. I am surprised that he could hold a bat after patting himself on the bat so much, his hand had to hurt at some point. Seriously though, he is one of those guys you love to get out because if you do, it could affect the outcome of the game. I would much rather have him on my team than have him on yours.
Jan. 21, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Tournment Pitcher from NY looking to join a team Guys you are being a little rough on someone new to Senior Softball. It is reasonable to assume that once he starts playing on the tourney circuit, his opinions may change. Personally I believe that this is more of a catfishing situation than some real individual making those statements. And yes John, I am interested in seeing what Cerce has to bring to the table. I have been fortunate to have been on the dish when some really good pitchers were my teammates. Manny, Gombos, Flip, Ray Ray and I have faced some outstanding pitchers over my 42 years of softball. That being said, it is still underhand and their success is usually determined by their ability to field the middle when combined with pitch location. If Cerce is for real then I can only say in my best Mac Davis imitation. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way. Cerce/MD time to video up. I believe Steve Imlay is in Florida this week shooting a video with Bogey, you might want to swing down there for a little face time.
Jan. 18, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Tournment Pitcher from NY looking to join a team In fairness to Cerce, he indicated he played in a high arc league. Problem is there is no high arc played in Senior softball torunament play in the recognized national associations. Therefore we are somewhat comparing horse apples to cow pies. It should be noted: •Your first name, Cerce, makes you self-reliant, creative in practical ways, and an independent diligent worker. • You work best alone making your own decisions as it is not always easy for you to respond to the advice and direction of others as you feel the need to be in control. • You enjoy the simple pleasures of life especially activities that take you outdoors. • You have a few good friends who enjoy similar activities. • Living much within your own thoughts and finding it challenging to communicate easily with others, you are, at times, too candid and honest in your assessment of situations. • You feel this separation from others and would give anything to be always lighthearted and friendly instead of serious and shy. •Although the name Cerce creates the urge to be original and self-reliant, we emphasize that it limits self-expression and friendly congeniality with a moody disposition. •This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses heart, lungs, bronchial area, and tension or accidents to the head.

Jan. 14, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: What were the results in Menifee this weekend. You can tell me who won, but more importantly how bats broke. If was freaking cold for California.
Jan. 7, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Cure for AAA after 3rd HR! One day a AAA team may look like a Major team, and next week, they can't beat St. Mary's Home for Unwed Mothers. That sounds like most every senior team I know. Sometimes we just play our age. We can beat this horse to death, but it ain't a changing. You gotta adjust or deal with the circumstances. I mean look at 3A aka Webbie, he hits 3 HRS against Hollis and everybody thinks he is a M+ player. Obviously he is not M+, he played AAA all of his senior career until this year. Just because he batted about 800, threw out one guy a game, and was 3rd on the team in Hrs, he has to be AAA and not M+ because that is where he played for 10 years. Just saying.
Jan. 7, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Bats Discussion: Best Cold Weather Bat I hit yesterday. I hit the couch hard, it did not go very far, I was still able to reach my beer and the channel changer. The next hit, was me getting hit up side the head because I had a bunch of Honey Do's I had not finished. My son is graduating from Marine Boot Camp on Friday and we are having a little get together on Sat. I expect to be hitting a few that day also.
