Jan. 15, 2012 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tebow If he takes a knee then the play is over,the ground cannot cause a fumble.
Jan. 14, 2012 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tebow DMAC,southpaw,the rest please make sure to play in Vegas as a resident I would love to you guys pass by drop a few bucks on your favorite player and teams. Multi billion dollar monuments were built on all types of reasons to bet a team and follow players. Also keeps my tax rates low. DMAC who do you like tomorrow?
Jan. 13, 2012 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tebow Let's talk some football here. Last year in Seattle the Seahawks surprised the Saints the Seahawks became the darlings of football. They go into Chicago as a double digit underdog and everyone got amnesia and suddenly the Bears were going to be in real trouble. The Bears pummeled them. A clear analogy here playing a home game against an opponent ripe for the taking and then taking that same flawed team Denver on the road into Foxboro has Patriots blowout written all over it. I enjoy the Tebow story but the numbers suggest a Patriots romp.
Jan. 11, 2012 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What are some of the factors players look for in deciding which tournament team to play for? Stick, John played with the MOB. John remember we had some slugfests with those guys. Remember the one in Vegas when the wind was blowing out a bit at Arroyo. Johnny G how the heck are you? Joe
Jan. 3, 2012 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: West Coast food for thought. Come on Marv Ridge Hooks SPA how many times are we going down that road. Tried Mesquite in either 2009 or 2010 and that was cancelled, heard through the grapevine that LVSSA and SPA were hooking up we know how that ended. Reno had what 10-12 teams.
Dec. 22, 2011 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... tg69 I could be wrong on this but every young team I know plays the 5 man because they cannot or are severely limited with balls over the fence. I've never heard of a 5 man to protect the pitcher. Most of the kids I know are very adept at pounding the 5-6 and 3-4. The bats are shaved not for distance but for speed through the reduced infield hitting areas.
Dec. 22, 2011 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... Gary the rules I posted above are from the 3 or 4 major organizations. You keep talking about the way it used to be, it doesn't exist anymore anywhere. They all have bastardized the rules some more than others. The kids have adapted by shaving the bats to hit through 5 man defenses, they take "dirty swings", you see swinging bunts, larger gloves. It's different everywhere. The tradeoff for the 3 outs, 2 bases, safety plates etc would probably be some of the rules I posted above. The genie is out of the bottle.
Dec. 22, 2011 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... One more thing if you did play with the kids, seriously played, you would run screaming back to the senior game because the kids game has been bastardized to the point of no return. One last thing real story played against some kids and got introduced to the swinging bunt. Fun to watch actually. Kid was hitting in the 3 hole. My team made a defensive switch to pinch in the 3B and SS to cut off the bunt, he hits a lazer past the pitcher as he's running down the 1B line he's yelling at the pitcher and IF to play straight up or he keeps ripping through the box. How much fun is that.
Dec. 22, 2011 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... I'll post the rules tell me who they apply to 1.) Offensive ejection if you hit the ball over the fence yet you can still play defense when your slot comes to bat automatic out 2.) If you hit the ball over the fence it is a run for the other team. Hit a second two runs etc etc 3.) Runners only I think they are called rabbits or base burglars forget the term sorry 4.) Automatic out if you hit the ball over the fence 5.) Hit the ball within a circle painted around the pitcher umpires discretion you are out. 6.) Special bats for one association and special bats for the other 7.) Bat testing machines Gary19 and Pricer what say you
Dec. 15, 2011 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: CR E4/E6 why you got to go there with 40's and 50's comment. Luckily you don't have a say.
Dec. 9, 2011 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: courtesy runners 5tools I do believe I meant Dan Gilbert. Gary I doubt you can top the owners of the Cavs.
Dec. 9, 2011 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: courtesy runners 5tools would Gary be more of an embarrassment to the NE Ohio area than say Dennis Gilbert?
Dec. 6, 2011 Lecak	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Winter Worlds Las Vegas Jawood roster wise major and major plus are light years apart forget talent but according to what is being proposed you can add two guys from west of the Miss River a major team can't what if you had to make your team roster look like a major roster? If you did away with the STUPID roster rules I doubt anyone would bitch otherwise major plus has a big advantage. Think about this logically you want your cake and eat it to. Can't have it both ways. SSUSA should combine the divisions and take some major roster rules and some major plus roster rules and be done with it. What if the major plus had to qualify a player before adding anyone and let major teams have two players along the dividing line? Blur the roster lines a bit for both divisions.
Nov. 29, 2011 Lecak	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Las Vegas--Big league Dreams (Schemes) Gary if you haven't played in Vegas or live here not sure how you can intelligently comment on the state of our facilities. The BLD is far superior to anything else in town. Due to municipal budget cuts some of the other fields are dreadful. Your thoughts on the state of senior ball make sense because softball is softball where ever played. Commenting on local conditions not so much. It would be like me commenting on Northern Ohio facilities and the state of your local budgets its folly on my part. The BLD facility is well maintained with very nice areas for families. My wife loves watching games there and won't watch anywhere else we play.
Nov. 28, 2011 Lecak	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Las Vegas--Big league Dreams (Schemes) Gary you should open your own complex then not condescending comment either. There is plenty of land here in Vegas good luck with the financing on a softball park though. They are not offering an either or scenario. They are charging it people are paying it they must think it is worth it. Your comment on PT Barnum I don't think applies with these facilities, they are a vast step above what we have in town, they are great family places, I have been in the one here in Vegas on an off nite and there are alot of non softball related activities taking place. Pick a better fight if you saw these facilities it would make more sense. It's like any else they could bury the fee or be transparent about it personally I prefer the latter.
Nov. 28, 2011 Lecak	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Las Vegas--Big league Dreams (Schemes) Gary the important thing is it is their park not yours, not mine not the taxpayers, privately funded facility. I live in Vegas, it is not that big a deal. The BLD facility beats all of the other facilities we have here by a mile. Anybody on here remember the old Freedom park facilities that is where this one stands. You live in Cleveland I'm sure your tax payer funded pro facilities do bag searches, limit food brought in etc. Why don't you start with your publicly funded facilities and let private facilities run their facilities how they deem fit. If the customers don't come so be it.
Nov. 2, 2011 Lecak	Topic: Associations Discussion: SPA Question???? Jawood sometimes it not about the softball. The City of Las Vegas will do a great job with these tournaments and God knows we need it.
Oct. 13, 2011 Lecak	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 50 Major+ Worlds...OKI Hi Stick my understanding is you add players below the major plus you either have to qualify or under certain circumstances where the roster goes below 12 add the next age group and lower class. My team for example 50 major we would have been allowed to add 55AAA or spend the money and qualify a new roster. We also could have opted to play major plus. I have mixed feelings on declaring a team major plus without going through the learning curve so to speak. Major plus is a big step, based on what I've seen the jump from Major to Major plus is bigger than AAA to major. I'm sure others will disagree but I can only go by what my eyes tell me.
Oct. 12, 2011 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Divisions Curveball played with Southwest Legends. Too bad the tournament didn't end on Friday for us we played well. Saturday we took a dump. That's softball. If I play next year will be 55 team in Vegas Sin City. Did my 50 time. If you were on the tables I'm sure we spoke. If you do the local stuff in Mesquite i'll say hi. By chance do you play with Russ Curtis.
Oct. 12, 2011 Lecak	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Divisions Curveball I wish I knew who you were I played up at Shadow. Damn would have loved to have introduced myself. I'm with you on the Major plus. That was a tough bracket the 50 major plus. Demolition looked awesome I got to watch them play and Geno has done a tremendous job with that team. Some old teammates of mine play for them Babbs and Danny Hess. We had 11 teams in the major division there and really there was quite a talent difference from what I saw from major to major plus. No offense to the major teams who competed but that major plus bracket was tough.
