| Jan. 29, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Dave "Hump" Humphries Thanks E4/E6. He was definitely all that you elluded to. |
| Jan. 29, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Dave "Hump" Humphries Thanks for your kind words Butch17. He will truly be missed. |
| Jan. 28, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Dave "Hump" Humphries It is with great sadness that I relay the news of passing away of a great man, Dave "Hump" Humphries. For those who don't know Hump, he was a coach/sponsor for the Pine Knob / Premier Ticket / RSIG Security teams based out of Michigan in both 50 major plus and the last couple of years 55 major plus divisions. He also coached and sponsored many younger teams that played under Humps Softball Club. Many of Michigans best players at one time or another played for Hump. Personally he was an inspiration and was like a second father to me. RIP my friend, the world is better place for you being a part of our lives. |
| Jan. 20, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Masks or Helmets #6, very good post!! That's one of the main reasons why our health insurance rates have risen thru the years. Unnecessary frivilous lawsuits. |
| Jan. 20, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Just Curious! Here in Michigan we're in the land of the mostly unemployed. Having worked in sales with primarily automotive accounts for a number I could see the current economic crisis coming 5 or 6 years ago. That old saying of something that is too good to be true isn't true definitely applied to the automotive industry. Now I dabble into several part time jobs where I'm my own boss--all of which add up to one full time income. Working for a big company may have it's advantages but as fast as they hire you they can turn around and sh-tcan you at the drop of a dime. |
| Jan. 13, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Hey Butch Larry I have to believe that your collarbone injury is a direct result of too much tailgating!! lol Drop me an e-mail |
| Jan. 5, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Knee Pain Dirty, I'll do mine Thursday. Six or seven different exercises--takes about 45 min. I officiate hs basketball on friday night so any muscle soreness will go away with the running. |
| Jan. 5, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Knee Pain Legs are the key in most all sports. Think about it, when your playing ball every movement you make on the field starts with your legs. If you have weak legs the rest of your game will eventually break down. Like Dirty, I do squats and almost every other leg exercise 1 of the 5 days a week I train. In fact I kil my legs!! It's important to use a lighter weight so you can do the exercise correctly. Using heavy weights can do much more damage to your joints and muscles than good. It's important to keep in mind that well conditioned legs aren't going to make you a speed demon--your either fast or your not. What they can do is give you a better first step or a quick jump, which could be the difference in getting to a ball in the field or taking that extra base. |
| Jan. 4, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What's Wrong With-- Taits, in major no, in A yes, in AA yes. |
| Jan. 4, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Waiver or not to waiver... Actually Einstein, the system is set up to let those lawyers live and live like kings--at taxpayer expense. And if things keep going as they are, "you ain't seen nothing yet" |
| Jan. 4, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What's Wrong With-- Taits I remember playing against other A and major teams back in the day where the count was 3-2 no foul to waste. Most games were still 2 hours plus. Good hitters are going to get their hits--even with u-trip pitchers pump faking and throwing flat and fast. |
| Jan. 4, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Waiver or not to waiver... LOL Einstein that only scratches the surface of how the game is played. |
| Jan. 4, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What's Wrong With-- Dirty I vividly recall when USSSA went from 4-3 to 3-2 count. They claimed games wouldn't take as long. I'm not sure but I wonder if someone knows how going to a 3-2 count would take away base hits, extra base hits, home runs, errors resulting in a shorter game? Hitter sare going to get their hits and errors will happen. Games lasted just as long if not longer. |
| Jan. 4, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Waiver or not to waiver... Einstein, to answer your original question waivers don't always work. I'm not a lawyer but I used to work for a slip and fall attorney and a damn good one. Trust me, this guy could pick a waiver apart and make a very compelling argument contrary to the intent of that waiver. Slip and fall lawyers are semantics experts. |
| Jan. 3, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Top 10 things I learned from this message board in 2009: Einstein let me clarify my #9) This is not my opinion--only what I've learned from posters on here as the thread title specifies. IMV, the majority of the umpiress that I've experienced do a nice job. Interesting question you ask about next year. I'll be with OKI Players in 2010 and as far as I can tell we're looking pretty decent. I'm sure the competition will be strong as usual if not stronger. That's what makes it challenging!! AFAIK, Gekle Builders is done for 50 major plus. I'm not 100% certain but I think Ray is having a team but it'll be for local guys around where he lives and just for local tourneys. It was a fun ride playing for Ray and Gekle Builders but all good things come to an end. Who is on your team for next year and what age division are you in? Hope your holidays were good and all the best for you and yours in 2010!! |
| Jan. 2, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Top 10 things I learned from this message board in 2009: Here are my top ten 1)I find myself in almost total agreement with Dirty on his views 2)If there was ever a SSUSA players union formed I have no doubt Einstein would be the leading candidate for being head of that union 3)Most players wanted the PPR rule thrown out 4)There are things I never that are available to take to offset our nagging ailments--i.e: wintercrest cream, etc 5)Einstein means business when he says good bats and good balls. I also know this from talking to him personally!! 6)One person got my anger when they said SPA was shoving their motto of "To God be the Glory" (or something like that) down his throat. No one is shoving anything down anyones throat. People have a right to speak but not to be heard. 7)Some people take criticism personally. Unless you know them personally how can it be personal if you don't know them? 8)Results of tournaments seem to trickle in slower than we might like. Might be a communication problem 9)A good portion of the tournaments don't have very good umpires. 10)Einsteins posts are the longest posts!! Sometimes I and others may disagree but he's very passionate about the game and only wants good things. |

| Dec. 29, 2009 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Pre-Game Routine E4/E6 I play league with a guy (a left fielder) who puts chicken bones and makes jirations toward them on the left field line before every inning. I'm not sure what the story is behind that, but WEIRD!! |
