| July 3, 2010 doker | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Teams moving up that have never won a Major Event WE ARE GOING TO COLLEGE STATION 24-25JUL AND IRVING AUG 14-15/SPA AND MAYBE 7TH AUGUST IN SAN ANTONIO...BOERNE 28-29 AUG THEN??? UNTIL PHX AND VEGAS...OCT-NOV....TOC IN FEB 2011.....THEY'VE BEEN MESSING WITH US HERE IN TEXAS EVERY YEAR I'VE BEEN HERE (6yrs) FLORIDA WAS QUITE DIFFERENT BUT WE DID HAVE THE HALF-CENTURY EVERY MONTH TO DRAW FROM....DOWN THERE!!!! AS I'VE SAID....JUST WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!!!!???? HERE IN TEXAS IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY'RE PUNISHING US FOR WINNING OUR INSTATE TOURNAMENTS!!!IF AND WHEN YOU WIN SOMETHING SUBSTANCIAL YOU STAY WHERE YOU ARE SO YOU KEEP COMING!!!! JUST MAKES COMMON SENSE TO ME!!DUH!! WHO KNOWS??? DOKER |
| July 3, 2010 doker | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Teams moving up that have never won a Major Event I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND OUR POWERS TO BE HERE IN TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!EACH YEAR WE GET OUR TEAMS TOGETHER TO PLAY HERE IN TEXAS....EACH YEAR WE ADD A PLAYER OR TWO TO TRY AND IMPROVE ON THE PREVIOUS YEAR....THERE'S PERHAPS 6-7 TEAMS HERE IN TEXAS EITHER AA OR AAA THAT ACTUALLY TRAVEL TO OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY TO PLAY IN THE LARGER TOURNEYS AND PERHAPS 3-4 MAJOR/MAJOR+ TEAMS WHO DO!!!! I HAPPEN TO BE ON THE TANEL 60+ AAA TEAM THAT WON SSUSA/VEGAS LAST YEAR AS A 60AA AND WE JUST RECENTLY WON THE TEXAS STATE TOURNEY IN DALLAS AS A 60AAA AS WE GOT MOVED UP FROM THE VEGAS RESULTS!!! THE TOURNEY IN DALLAS HAD 5 TEAMS IN 60AAA AND 4-5 TEAMS IN 60AA AS A FACT NONE OF THE DIVISIONS HAD MORE THAN 6 TEAMS.....WHICH IS AS USUAL FOR ALL OF OUR TEXAS TOURNAMENTS.....WE ALMOST ALWAYS PLAY THE SAME 3-5 TEAMS AT EACH EVENT WHETHER SSUSA OR SPA....AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT NO ONE TEAM DOMINATES!!!!!!!!! OUR TEAM TANEL 60AAA IS COMPETITIVE IN 60AAA AT THE LARGER TOURNEYS AS WE WENT TO RENO AND PLAYED OK.....NO OTHER TEAM FROM TEXAS HAS GONE OUT OF STATE OTHER THAN A SPA OKLAHOMA TOURNEY....THUS NOT SEEING HOW THEY WUD COMPARE WITH OTHER TEAMS FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.....SO MY THOUGHTS ON ALL THIS....... IS WHY ARE TEAMS GETTING MOVED UP IN RANKINGS WHEN THEY'VE ONLY PLAYED ALMOST EQUAL TEAMS HERE IN TEXAS???...IT MAKES NO SENSE...WE SEE TEAMS FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY..FLA/CA/WA/CO/AZ/NM THAT EVEN WON THE TOC AND NOT MOVING UP IN RANK...OR WINNING RENO 15+ TEAMS IN BRACKET OR PHOENIX 20+ TEAMS IN BRACKETS AND NOT MOVING UP IN RANKINGS...HECK.. LAST CALL.. FROM RENO HAS EITHER WON OR COME IN SECOND IN RENO THE LAST 4YEARS???? DON'T GET ME WRONG I'M NOT BEGRUDGING WHAT RANKING THEY'RE GETTING!!! BUT I'M UPSET WITH OUR LEADERS HERE IN TEXAS WHO EACH YEAR UPGRADE TEAMS THAT HAVE NEVER WON ANYTHING BIG!!! THUS CREATING AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM WITH OUR TEAMS HERE IN TEXAS!!!! WHY WUD ANYONE WANT TO TRAVEL TO A LARGE TOURNEY THAT MAY COST THEM A $1000 JUST TO GET DRUMMED WHEN THEY HAVEN'T WON ANY TOURNEY OF STATURE!!!??? WE ALL LOVE THE GAME AND ONLY ASK THAT THEY RANK US SO WE CAN BE COMPETITIVE SO WE CAN ALL RELIVE THAT COMPETITIVE SPIRIT WE HAD WHEN WE WERE YOUNG!!!! SO TO ME UNTIL WE ACTUALLY WIN EVERY TOURNEY OR AT LEAST ONE BIG ONE EACH YEAR....HOW CAN THEY IN GOOD CONSCIENCE MOVE SOMEONE UP THAT HASN'T DONE THAT CONSISTENTLY???? WE ALL HAVE OUR GOOD TOURNEYS AND BAD ONES... BUT UNLESS YOU ALWAYS WIN THEM PLEASE TRY AND KEEP US RANKED TO WHERE WE CAN WIN...NOT JUST SHOW UP AS FODDER!!!!!!!!!DOKER |

AND CAR RENTALS DOKER HERE ...WENT LAST YEAR TO DALTON,,,GOOD TOURNEY.....STAYED AT THE TRAVELODGE WALKED ACROSS THE STREET TO A GOOD RESTAURANT THAT HAD TWO FOR ONE BEERS ALL WEEKEND LONG 24HRS A DAY......RENTAL CARS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE IN ATL...I USUALLY USE THRIFTY....AND THE CHEAPEST RATE FOR THE 8THSEP TO 12SEP WAS 68.90/DAY(EXPENSIVE)!!!!!!!!!!

| June 4, 2010 doker | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Cheap awards given out in Reno COME ON MADDOG....WE DON'T NEED REWARDS! JUST PLAYING AND WINNING AGAINST GOOD COMPETITION AT OUR AGE IS AWARD ENOUGH!!!! YES WE SPEND LOTS OF DOUGH PLAYING FAR AWAY...BUT WE CHOOSE TO DO SO!! SO WE CAN PLAY THE BEST IN OUR CATEGORY AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH OUR BUDDIES AT THE SAME TIME!!! IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY WE WOULDN'T TRAVEL TO THESE GREAT TOURNAMENTS.....ANYONE WHO HASN'T GONE TO RENO AND PLAYED ON GOLDEN EAGLE IS REALLY MISSING OUT!!!!!...THE TOURNAMENT WAS RUN EXCELLENTLY (EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN'T PLAY WELL) AND WE HAD A LOT OF FUN!!!! DAVE,FRAN AND TERRY DO ALL THEY CAN TO MAKE THESE TOURNEYS HAPPEN AND I FOR ONE TOTALLY APPRECIATE ALL THEY DO. PLAYING IN THEM IS THE WHOLE THING, NOT AWARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOKER |
| June 4, 2010 doker | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Should a bat be confiscated Hey maddog...Kenny's right no bloomers!!!!..shud have been with us in RENO...AWESOME COMPLEX>>>>...i agree with an earlier comment ..lets move bases back to 70'...we played in vegas last year on a field with 70' bases and the game really slowed down...not as many runs and infield play...something novel!!!!...doker |
