| Oct. 2, 2005 Sticks | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: SSUSA PHOENIX This question makes me think. Did your team qualify in SSWC? If they did, did your team release you? |
| Sept. 22, 2005 Sticks | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Add 3 Major Plus players to AAA team in Az. MK, lets start with me. I did not write it but wish I had. You do just cause a lot of trouble and whine about a loss. |
| Aug. 31, 2005 Sticks | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: how to win a ring Fred, you say: "On any given weekend anyone can win. Playing better teams makes you better !!" I would agree with you if you had said in any game. But you said weekend. That I feel most of the time will go to the better teams. Sure upsets do happen. But that is why they call them upsets. They are rare. It is and has always been agrivating to arrive at a World and find the same teams year after year that had been ranked a division higher all season dropped down for the upcoming world. Then after we get home and read the results those teams always finish very high. It is just politics and we are stuck with it. But we do not have to like it. |
| Aug. 30, 2005 Sticks | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: how to win a ring Ruth Realty is one of a few team that always seem to get preferential ratings by those two. Grimes and Theraldsons come to mind with me as always somehow being allowed to play down. The world is just full of politics. |
| Aug. 28, 2005 Sticks | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: San Diego Marauders and Top Gun in AAA. WTF? |
| July 25, 2005 Sticks | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 300 Snowbirds in Senior Softball?? Daw-gone MK. with all this crying you will run your make-up. Just play the game. None of us get our way all the time. |
| Jan. 22, 2005 Sticks | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: out of area exemption rule WW can not be MK. Not anywhere near enough words misspelled. |
| Jan. 22, 2005 Sticks | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: out of area exemption rule Buffalo, I just took that as a takeoff on the Gary somebody statement that 95% of all the Major and Major + teams have cheaters on them. Using that as a measuring tool. I am sure he was not pointing any fingers at any one. |
| Jan. 21, 2005 Sticks | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: NOONE HAS BEEN BANNED FROM THIS SITE Why not just have those very few players and teams submit some kind of application to the Associations. Come on guys. |
| Jan. 21, 2005 Sticks | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: NOONE HAS BEEN BANNED FROM THIS SITE Is it really that hard to regulate some kind of special exemption or hardship rule to allow the very few cases like Walk's to play in all Associations. How difficult can that really be. Or is all this talk correct and there is just some kind of vendetta. I for one do not believe that. I feel this will get resolved. It has to. If not this is really some sad butt crap. |
| July 29, 2004 Sticks | Topic: Bats Discussion: To MK39, Sam Lee, BruceinGa, Doubl10 Personally I say good. I have thought that some of the Miken sponsored teams are swinging bats that most of us can not buy off the shelves. That way we will find out. They will be challanged. |
| June 28, 2004 Sticks | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Can someone explain this. MK39, I quote you: "I think that each team needs to have a player with respect for the game that will stand up and check all the bats on his team. Reputations are fragile and i personally supply my team with all the bats we use and have a Kelly's Sports logo on them. i will not let any out side bats into our dugout and i take 100% responsibility for the bats used by my team. Any one else worried enough about there team to moniter all the bats being used by there team????" With that in mine and many of us thinking that bat sponsored teams are using bats that the rest of can not get. I would ask you that if ever our teams meet can we exchange our five Ultra 2's for five of yours. That way will all the game would be straight up. |
| June 25, 2004 Sticks | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Can someone explain this. MK, the focus should be on the cheaters. I agree with that. I‚m sure GT is a man of integrity. But for a member of the Senior Summit and soon to be Chair of the Summit to make an unfounded statement like this, is totally inappropriate. I for one am appalled at the lack of thought that he used when speaking at the Summit. Being a person of responsibility he needs to think through his statements before speaking. As you point out his percentages may just be off. Even if he had reversed the percentages I would be just as angry when he offers no evidence. His statement is just throwing mud and his hands are dirty now. I believe he should apologize to Senior players and remove himself from office. |
| June 16, 2004 Sticks | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Team Ratings This is just in Nor. Cal. I wonder how many others are no longer teams? Some of these teams have been gone for a few years. 50 bracket teams no longer in existence Fast Track Oakland CA Major Grayhawks Davis CA AA Nevada Co Merchants Grass Valley CA AAA River City Raiders Pioneer CA AAA Slam Alamo CA AAA Walker Communication Roseville CA AAA Yuba City Express Yuba City CA AAA 55 bracket teams no longer in existence 24 Hour Fitness Roseville CA AA Calif.

| June 2, 2004 Sticks | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Can someone explain this. I read these posts and then found the report in the paper that I had overlooked. Now that I have read the report I would be real concerned about the testing. All of us that have used Composite bats know that after break-in they get much better. Also some bats of the same model are just better than others. How the heck is a machine going to know any difference in a legal real good bat and a hot bat. If there was a machine that would be able to check the wall thickness (compared to Manufacture thickness) then I would say fine. But that is not what they do. You could be busted for a completely legit bat. Won‚t that be great. By all means test away, ban players and pay for the law suites. Test mine first I need the money. |
| Dec. 30, 2003 Sticks | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: LOOKING FOR A GOOD 55 TEAM. Greg, the N.Cal 55 team I am with is having our meeting in early Jan. I will bring your name up. Should know by middle Jan. |
| Nov. 21, 2003 Sticks | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: LOOKING FOR A GOOD 55 TEAM. By the way. When you type in capital letters you are shouting. |
| Nov. 21, 2003 Sticks | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: LOOKING FOR A GOOD 55 TEAM. G.L. I remember that Out of Storage a new 55 team was looking for players. Try them. |
| Nov. 8, 2003 Sticks | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Mobile Senior Softball Championships BigFly, having the SSWC tourney in those other locations would not work. They would not pay the SSWC enough to host the tourney. Las Vegas, Phoenix , Winnipeg are now Mobile are the best paying locations. |
| Nov. 5, 2003 Sticks | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 2004 Worlds Air fare to Winnipeg is the killer. Only the well financed or more local teams can afford that trip. Air fare from San Francisco to Mobile was half of fare to Winnipeg. |
