Nov. 14, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: WESTERN WORLDS 2013 If they choose Sacremento I sure hope the fields are in better shape than they were in 2011. The coplex in Aurora was far superior than any field we played at in Sac. The grounds crews were even much more on the ball than in Sac. If they want to move it take it to Lacy WA. and play in another great complex. Thanks: James
Nov. 3, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior softball summit Fabe: You should not even take that fool serious. He has no clue why most of us even play this game. I manage a chemical plant in Tacoma and our largest customer is BEI in Hawaii. They are like a family. Thank You: James
Nov. 1, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior softball summit Hi All: I believe the Senior Softball Summit meeting us coming up but the only two topics i have heard rumblings on are 70' bases and possibly toning down the home run rules a bit. Just wondering if anybody had a heads up on what the agenda is? Thank You: James
Oct. 12, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: AAA Home Runs I agree with Local on this one 100%. Just because a team gets hot and hits a bunch out of the park does not make them a major team. We have been on both sides of these games and it is just part of senior softball. I bet that guy who hit his first HR had a day he will never forget. What is wrong with that? Thanks: James
Oct. 8, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion The only thing I would recommend is get rid of the 5 games guarantee in a tourney with this many teams. It just adds to the wait for teams still playing to win. Or the consilation games can be played after the winners have been decided and each team can decide if they want to stick around and get their 5th game in. Thanks: James
Oct. 7, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 50 M+ & 50AA Anybody know who won 50 M+ & 50AA? Thanks: James
Oct. 2, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: World Tourn. Updates Who won in 55AAA? Thanks: James
Sept. 18, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SO WHAT DO WE GET OTHER THEN PLAYING FOR $675.00 PER TEAM IN VEGAS It is not about the $695, it is about playing teams from all over the country and having a blast. I sent the check in for our club and felt like it was a bargin just because we will be playing teams we rarely if ever see at a great place to place ball. James
Sept. 4, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Meniscus Surgery Recovery Time? I played a 2 day tourney 17 days after getting two tears repaired and that was not a smart move on my part. My suggestion is to wait until the off season to get it done and take your time getting back into playing form. The procedure is a piece of cake and I was walking the dog in a couple days. The same knee is now a mess and I am wondering if part of that is because I pushed the recovery. Good luck: James
Aug. 18, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: Ambush Review Took my first 50 swings with a 28oz balanced today. A little stiff the first 20 or so easy swings but then you could feel the bat coming to life. I did not hit any 100% but the balls hit at 75% were ropes. My game bat of choice has been a U2 for years but now i have a hot Reebok and this Ambush to chose from. If I were to judge these three bats after 50 breakin swings the Ambush would be #1. It may be just be but it feels like it is easy to generate more bat speed with the Ambush. I would like to hear if anybody else had the same feel from these bats. They are all good bats do now we have more quality choices. Thank You: James
Aug. 13, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Product review Discussion: New Combat AMBUSH break in tips (and other senior bats) I just received my new Ambush yesterday. It is great timing because both of my game ready U2's are cracked. Must have broke both at the Western Nationals. I now have one new and nearly bloke in Reebok balanced Melee, One old U2 in great shape and I know it has pop and the new Ambush. I will add my $.02 cents on performance comparisons after the Ambush is broke in. This comparison will come from a 180lb guy with what I have been told is pretty good bat speed. The Ambush does have a great feel and balance. Can't wait to take some cuts and see hot it hits. Thank You: James
Aug. 7, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Scores for Western Regionals Hi paul0784: We had a good weekend and should be in good shape for Vegas. we need to stay healthy now and be ready for Vegas. What is the biggest differance between AAA and Major? You guys played so well last year it looked to me like you could compete in the upper division. We added defense, speed and power this year trying to get where you did last year. Thank You: James
Aug. 6, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Scores for Western Regionals JCI Jones Chemicals/ The "Y" Sports Bar went undefeated in 55AAA. We had some great competition but it must have just been our weekend. The fields and umps were great and it was a well run tourney for the most part. I also met Ed Endrews the Reebok bat rep. Great guy and he is not a pushy sales rep. If you wanted a bat he said he had them available but he did it with class. Got to respect that. Thank You: James
July 29, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: WESTERN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS....A concern? John: 325' is nothing for you. You and Wayne can miss them that far. James
July 15, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: what's the best senior bat, gave up on the gsc promises. The two hottest senior bats I have ever swung are the Reebok end load and Miken red end load but I do not use either one of them. I choose the black U2 because for some reason it fits my swing better and I find the sweet spot most of the time. Many of my softball friends have switched to the balanced Reebok and seem to be hitting the ball further than they ever have so I am going to give one of them a shot. They also say it has a larger sweet spot than the end load. Thank You: James
July 13, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What 55AAA teams are going to Western Nationals Hi Folks: I am just seeing what 55AAA teams will be at the Western Nationals in Aurora CO. The JCI Jones Chemicals/The "Y" Bar and Grill will be there. Thank You: James
July 4, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken U2 Performance Thanks Alan: I have too many Miken and just thought somebody may want to swap for a very nice older one. It has Miken pop and more durable than the newer ones. Thank You: james
July 3, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken U2 Performance I have 4 ballanced U2's that are all great bats. two of them are at least a year old with the 1.21. I also have a 28oz 1.20 that is a few years old that is very hot but it has at least 200 swings on it. The forth bat has no markings on it and was produced right after the ASA tagged U2. It is a 28oz also and in very good shape. It is also a hot bat but I rarely use it anymore and would trade it for a ballanced Reebok senior Melee in 28oz. I can be reached at jgroh@jcichem.com if anybody is interested. Thank You: James
May 17, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Is this yelling out OK. HJ: I would have to say that is about as chicken shit as it gets on the part of the baserunner. He might just get drilled in the back by a thrown ball next time he is on base. Thank You: James
April 11, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: Need your input Last year at the Western Nationals Joe spent a good 30 minutes talking to my boy and I about bats and hitting. My boy is just starting to play slowpitch and Joe did a better job than I could have explaining hitting. His time was much appreciated. Thanks: James
