| Nov. 11, 2014 Rainmans | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Veterans Day 11/11/14 While only one day of the year is dedicated solely to honoring our veterans, Americans must never forget the sacrifices that many of our fellow countrymen have made to defend our country and protect our freedoms. I cannot thank each and everyone of you enough for your contributions and sacrifices. |

| Jan. 1, 2014 Rainmans | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: classification Section 14.1, B-3: "A Major team roster shall not have more than three players with a team affiliation rating history during the two previous tournament seasons greater than Major." A simpler way to state it: You can't have more that 3 Major-Plus players |

| Dec. 26, 2013 Rainmans | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: All the hate on DBO with senior bats...how about this? Maybe we should eliminate the pitcher and hit off a tee. Or, maybe we could have virtual indoor softball simulators so we can play against any team, at any location, at anytime of the year and nobody gets hurt. |
| Dec. 12, 2013 Rainmans | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Why Not Have A Players Committee Of Real Players To Over See The Rules The last survey (2013) was on adopting 1-1 Count which wasn't accepted. There should be more surveys to get the input from the players. As with all methods of data collection, surveys also come with a few drawbacks (i.e., not reaching everyone). |

| May 5, 2013 Rainmans | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Sponsor looking to finance an "established" Men's club Sorry, Sparky! It’s been extremely difficult following this post. The way some of the individuals of our age group/maturity responding are exhibiting adolescent attitudes and displaying antisocial behaviors are implacable and petty. |

| March 24, 2013 Rainmans | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Please send you thoughts and prayers... for the RUDY FLORES FAMILY... I was shocked when I received the sad news of Rudy's passing on Friday from the Wongs who are playing at the same tournament in Mesquite. They said he had been complaining about heartburn similar to James Washington when he passed on the softball field back in 2009 (I was present and it was very disturbing and sobering). Rudy was a great teammate, a competitive player, a wonderful sense of humor and a very positive attitude. Even when someone was down or upset, he would be able to put a smile back on their face. You'll be sorely missed my friend! Steve |

| Jan. 23, 2013 Rainmans | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rotator cuff rehab surf88 - "...commitment to keep up the therapy and daily exercise" -- I agree with your statement. |
| Jan. 17, 2013 Rainmans | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rotator cuff rehab After the surgery, I couldn’t lift my right hand without help from my left hand. I started PT (was painful) the following week after the surgery and continued for 8 weeks (2 times/week). I also did daily exercises (stretching, elastic bands…) at home. I was fortunate my therapist was a baseball pitcher and he said it would take a year to be at 100%. He stated swinging a bat wouldn’t be an issue early in the recovery cycle but my throwing ability would be limited. He warned me to be careful throwing the ball too hard/early as I could reinjure the shoulder (didn’t want to relive that pain again) because the tissues soft and are still healing. I began playing catch (approx. 10-20 feet) with my wife after 2 months and began throwing a tennis ball at a wall (40 throws increasing – over time - to 100 throws per day). I played in a tournament about 4 months after surgery. Swing the bat was okay but I could tell I didn’t have the strength/power I had prior to the injury. I also did not throw the ball hard (lobs and relays). I began lifting light weights (5 lbs.), push-ups (5), and other exercises at 4 months and have slowly increased the weight and repetitions. It’s been 8 months since the surgery and I’m stronger than I was before the injury and I feel I’m 90% recovered (the year timeframe seems accurate). |
