| Oct. 12, 2006 batterup0055 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TO EINSTEIN Funny how you can go on for paragraph upon paragraph about someone's anonymous moniker, but you cannot take those same paragraphs and intelligently debate a subject, "He was abusive and wrong in the eyes of real men and women as you are for not "signing in" and standing up to your comments and aggressions." the only agression I show is trying to get YOU to stay on point instead of focusing on personalities or who the heck someone is behind a pen name. YOU started this whole theme on altered bats, and now YOU refuse to debate points. YOU are the gutless clown, and I think it shows for all to see. Windbag pontificators like you are the problem with the internet. |
| Oct. 11, 2006 batterup0055 | Topic: Bats Discussion: how to solve the illegal bat problem Horrible idea, Einstein. Especially after the snafu in PS with the Old A's etc etc which has been debated by many to death..... Who would decided what bat to take? What about HR hitters? What about someone with a base hit? What about a hard hop ball that was caught? Just too many scenarios where a bat/ball could be taken on a whim The problem needs to be solved by technology, as there are too many human factors at work to be truly subjective. I heard that Bill Ruth had a ring of sorts that could be slid over the bat and pick up a repainted bat? Also, some bat companies are supposed to be inserting microchips, which in turn could be read with a hand held scanner, and supposedly would show up if the bat had been altered IN ANY WAY. Perhaps players, managers ought to go to the bat manufacturers themselves and make themselves heard. With your penchant for unending blither, perhaps you, Einstein could drive them nuts. |
| Oct. 11, 2006 batterup0055 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TO EINSTEIN Einstein, You quote " Gary, let's stay on the issue. Illegal bats...a huge problem we need to solve. And not get side swiped by any no-account bushwhacking clowns." WHY do you refuse to debate the issue, again focusing on WHO I am instead of the valid points I bring up to you. For someone who has a rather Bozo-itis head of hair, you seem awful fond of the word "clown".... I guess you realize you can never intelligently debate this problem, you just come on this board, spout your nonsense, and refuse to answer questions posted to you. |
| Oct. 11, 2006 batterup0055 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TO EINSTEIN Stoneman, You, at least, are man enough to be able to deal with my anonymnity and still post thoughful replies, dealing with the subject matter. Thanks. Even if the catcher, was as you say..."having fun", that should not be tolerated. Einstein, I knew you would concentrate on WHO i am rather that what I say, and not be man enough to defend your position on Gary. Looks like YOU are the clown for refusing to debate what YOU started. Irresponsible fool that you are. Windbags like you are a dime a dozen, and if you wish to debate WHO I am rather that the topic you started, just shows you are nothing but hot air. |
| Oct. 10, 2006 batterup0055 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TO EINSTEIN still waiting your answer to the previous questions posted to you regarding Gary Tryhorn being able to be an active player who can demand to see bats as the head of the Altered Bat Committee..... Funny how you can post all sorts of wild accusations and then refuse to debate one of the most important issues about the whole shebang, choosing instead to focus on this poster himself and his choice of anonyminity. still waiting Einstein......... |
| Oct. 9, 2006 batterup0055 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Need for an arbitration committee? Einstein, You are a mess of contradictions.... again, I state your quotations from your last post. "RB Thomas is the manager of Thomas Engineering and Gary Tryhorn is the manager of the Old A's. Neither one of these guys should have had anything to do with a process that determined if a bat was legal or legal as it was their 2 teams that we're playing against each other at the time." For your last 18 or so posts, you have screamed over and over that the "head of the altered bat committee - WHICH IS GARY TRYHORN - should have been given this bat. The summation of many of your posts state that this process was not followed, disallowed by Vickie, etc etc. NOW you come and state that Gary shouldn't have had anything to do with this false claim against this bat. WHICH IS IT??????????????????? Can you finally see that Gary T should not have the power to grab bats if he is playing at the time, especially against a team he is losing against at the time of his claim??? I am sure you will not be man enough to answer my questions and once again you will focus on my anonyminity. If you wish to be taken seriously on your arbitration and other posts, you should first learn to stay with the facts and not contradict yourself. answers, please???? we are waiting....... |
| Oct. 6, 2006 batterup0055 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Need for an arbitration committee? Einstein... To quote you... "I never mentioned anyone by name when I questionned the process by which an illegal bat was challenged in Palm Springs." SO YOU NOW KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THIS BAT WAS "ILLEGAL"....? Watch your wording....you are convicting now without evidence... All I am doing is tossing your own words back to you. For the umpteenth time, the chairman of the bat committee was playing against this team at the time of the so-called challenge, and his team was losing big time. Do you think it is fair to have a chairman, or someone of this position, that can be playing at the same time he can question a bat of the opposing team, with no evidence other than twiddling it on his finger? You refuse to answer this question, and I am sure you will again focus on my anonimity rather than my statement. Let's see if you are man enough to answer my questions instead of focusing on who I am...... |

| Oct. 2, 2006 batterup0055 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Need for an arbitration committee? O.K. Einstein, Having calmed down a bit over the past week about your postings, please give this a thought..... You state it doesn't matter the details about the bat question in Palm Springs. What you fail to see is that empty accusatons like this mask the REAL problem. I agree there are altered bats out there, ( and sorry to bust yer bubble, but I am not a bat doctor) and many of us know who uses them. And have for years. Certain Bat Doctors are well know? Yet it goes on and on... What you fail to see is that in this case, the bat was examined by the ump and was determined to be fine and then was returned. Doesn't it strike you as funny that the head of the bat committee, a.k.a. Gary, was also the first baseman that day, playing against a rival that they were losing against???? Suspicious timing for "questioning" a bat, especially noting the game facts that have been posted previously. YOU CANNOT DETERMINE ABOUT A BAT SIMPLY BALANCING IT ON YOUR FINGER!!!! talk you your Old A's buddies. Ask them about prior empty claims they have done before against rivals. They once held up a game an hour against this same team ( while losing) claiming one of their players was not who he said he was, before their claim was tossed out and they went on to lose. Funny stuff..... I understand your zeal against altered bats. really I do. All I am saying is that it DOES matter about WHO and WHAT you post about. In future posts, please determine the facts FIRST HAND ( not by second hand gossip) before you name names. THis only hurts your diatribes in the end and despite what you think, puts out false information about people who don't deserve it. And please stop obssessing about who I am. part of the charm of the net is ebing able to post thoughts freely and/or anonymously.... if I signed "Joe" or Bob" at the end of my postss, does it really change the content of those same posts? |
| Sept. 28, 2006 batterup0055 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Need for an arbitration committee? Bob, Thanks for a thoughtful reply. However, I must take exception to your characterization of Einsten. you call him a "stand up guy".... Number One: He wasn't even at the event he posted about. Number Two: He was not in possession of any of the facts, except second hand gossip, at best. Number Three: He was told by Stoneman that he was "out in right field", given the facts by people who were there ( number of HR's, who hit them, even the temperature at game times), YET still he persisted in posting demeaning characterizations about players who are known for honesty in our not-so-honest game sometimes. I can understand over zealous posting about a subject, but not at the expense of someone's reputation. Einsten needs to clean up his own act before he so casually disregards the reputations of others he posts about. Not exactly "stand up" characterizations, I would say. I guess, in the world of Einstein, that if I were catching and a batter came up I had a grudge against, I could at once pick up his bat, rotate it on my finger, scream that it was illegal and have the bat pulled? Players spend months breaking in bats, some are very superstitious about using certain bats, yet Einstein feels simply on the say-so of any catcher, that we can now pull bats? Where is the logic? I apologize if my language got a bit strong, but I still feel Einstein is dead wrong on this matter and that his affiliation with the A's, and some of their dirty tactics, is truly behind his tirade in this case. |
| Sept. 28, 2006 batterup0055 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Need for an arbitration committee? Hmm, Einey..... So according to your logic, I can post a name and be like you and STILL post false accusations and that makes it alright????? |
| Sept. 28, 2006 batterup0055 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Need for an arbitration committee? Einstein, You have got to be the laughingstock of this board. Let me try and get this through your thick skull..... The reason this bat was given back to the team was that there was NO MERIT for it to be confiscated. # 21 played a normal game with this bat, not like there were 7 home runs or some off-the-wall number. The fact that the catcher held the bat and "claimed" it didn't balance was BOGUS - as everyone knows, you can hold a bat 1,000 ways to make it tilt funny - the umpire, etc all held the bat and determined it WAS FINE. END OF STORY. As for your player in question, he has been playing illegally for YEARS being a full time resident of COLORADO and yet still playing for a CALIFORNIA team. It's a known fact, and one that was brought up at the summit. That is why he was also DENIED to play at the SPA Nationals in Plano. I suppose now you think the SPA decision at Plano was wrong, too. What's your excuse there???? If someone posted false accusations against me, such as implying I used a doctored bat, I would kick their bald butt back to California. # 21 is too much of a gentleman probably to do that, but since you are such a gutless, spineless wimp who sits at his computer desk and posts crap at will, I am sure that even # 21's goddess of a 6'3" or so wife ( us old guys should all be so lucky) could take care of your mealy mouth. But please do keep posting, you are always good for a laugh. |
| Sept. 27, 2006 batterup0055 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Need for an arbitration committee? Einstein, I was watching at that game, as were many teams like my own who were waiting to play, and observed the Old A's and another attempt at a false accusation....it was nothing more than an empty attempt at slowing a game they were losing. As for the bat in question, anyone can hold a bat at a finger length and cause it to tilt either way. The bat was scrutinized and it was obvious it had never been tampered with in any way. The A's have been known for questionable tactics before. As for the questioned batter, # 21) he has an impeccible reputation as an honest player, just ask anyone. So your 55 team wasn't hitting any out? Hardly a basis for complaining about a 60 or 65 team that was performing as yours was not. Stop your whining!!!!! As for the exemption, I cannot honestly say what the problem was that some teams were allowed and some not. Everyone knows that certain players have been illegal,. snowbird claims or not, for years, no names mentioned. Since you only heard about this so-called incident, and were not actually there to see the B.S., you shouldn't blab on about things you don't know about first hand. just my .02 Batterup |
