Aug. 5, 2008 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: pruitt chevrolet player lecak & I don't have the info available @ this time, but have suggested a fund be set up through SSUSA. There was a flyer @ the fields with the name of a player that passed away, and an address for contributions. I will try to get that info on this site asap
Aug. 4, 2008 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: pruitt chevrolet player glad to hear that the player that suffered the heart attack at the Eastern National Tourney is doing well. Our prayers are with him.Outstanding job by all involved to assist during this tragic event. We (Baystate Bombers) will be making a contribution to the defribulator fund in the immediate future.
April 18, 2008 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: new rules wondering how the new rules, i.e. the new mat and hitting the middle, are being received. We in the northeast haven't had the opportunity to evaluate them yet. Like to hear from the guys who have played with the new mat especially. Any thoughts?

March 7, 2008 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: looking for balls any one have balls for sale? need league balls and home run derby balls.Heard that the worth launch is a good derby ball but don't have access to them yet. Any help?
March 6, 2008 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Team Ratings while it seems that the M & M+ players are the most affected, it does bleed down. A possible solution would be to have managers classify players with a minimum number of their roster, say 8, designated within the respective division. This might allow some players to be able to be reclassified to one division.lower. If a player is used exclusively in a division he would automaticaly be classified there. Also, some players might need to be rated higher than the current division in which they participate. This would then come under review by the powers that be. Just some thoughts!!
Jan. 9, 2008 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What Would You Change in Senior Softball-Part II it sems that the most "lost" time appears between innings and with courtesy runners. Allowing outfielders to throw between innings is time wasted, and as an infielder, after the first or maybe 2 nd inning I no longer need a warm up throw, and if playing in the 3rd or more games in a day my arm is beginning to get tired and sore so I usually decline anyway. At this age , hustle becomes relative to over all conditioning. Allowing outfielders to edge towards there respective positions after batting helps a little as it's usually the farthest away guy is the last one ready. This is not generally allowed, as umps want players in the dug out at all times. Pitchers should be taking any extra warm ups on the side line to help speed things up also.
Jan. 7, 2008 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What would you change in Senior Softball? i agree with the 1-1 count and make the mat triangular -from the corner's of the plate go out to 1" wider per side - to help the curve etc. We tried doing 2 innings at a time, but it was not well accepted. The divisions are working as is , just look at the scores- usually pretty close! Perhaps upping the per inning runs to 7 for M & M+. Maybe a home run change, i.e. AAA 1 & 1up, after 4 Total per team they become outs, AA= 1, single, outs. We've seen more teams at the lower levels, and have added a " rec " division to our tourney's with only a 2 game guarantee, saturday only, for local league teams.Would like to see less courtesy runners allowed per inning, say a limit of 2 or 3. My thoughts.

Dec. 20, 2007 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: when managers picks all-tournment players it would be wise to set some criteria before the start of the tourney / season, as to what constitutes an mvp or all tourney award. I am proud to say that i've been on a world tourney winning team, but not so proud of the actions of some other people in the "vote for me " contest. often times, the rabbit guy- the guy that runs for every body- is over looked because he was tired in the finals and his performance suffered. Also, a great hitter may not hit any home runs or have the best average, only say 5 game winning hits in a tournament. How important is defense? does an EH that hits .850 deserve it? even if he needs a runner every at bat? There are things beyond the stats that are immeasurable also. How about the guy that the hit's .350 pts higher than normal? So many area's, no rules.
Nov. 29, 2007 curty	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: moving up from my experiences, teams try to win first, then look for better competition. our team has played@ AAA from the start , playing major @ a national event voluntarily, so we could judge for our selves. Being a new england team, it get's expensive to attend these events and we want our monies worth. To that end being competitive means winning= more games. I think the issue should be decided on ability of the dominant players on a team because THEY will want to play up. Sometimes this means a migration of players from lower divisions to better a team or vice versa. A good defensive team can get penalised by being moved up as opposed to a good hitting team. My thoughts.

Oct. 31, 2007 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: results from phoenix? the umpiring @cesaer chavez (55aaa) was very good as was the competition. I personally witnessed 7 xtra inning games, with at least 3 of these going to more than one xtra. K.C. Blues won it, but Bombers, Murphy's Law, Indiana Legends,Las Vegas Heat, Old Dawgs were all in the hunt, with most games decided late and by small margins. Great job by SSUSA, STAFF, and ground crews all around, including nite games! Loser 's bracket sucks but spectating is worse!
Oct. 24, 2007 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: You make the call - umpire gets over-ruled by TD in Phoenix could the team have used a substitute runner? Or perhaps had an injury? Was the td baseing his call on the " he touched the base" rule before play started? Interesting, would have liked to have seen it!
Oct. 23, 2007 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: results from phoenix? anybody have any early info on phoenix so far?Any scores, horror stories,weather, winners?
Oct. 3, 2007 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Who decided to bring him back, Terry hey, einstein, what team(s) do you play with? were you in vegas 9/29,30 with a 50 team?

Oct. 3, 2007 curty	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Who decided to bring him back, Terry hey, tng, what team(s) do you play with? What tournaments? Just trying to put a face to the names.
Sept. 19, 2007 curty	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: fair or unfair? hey, why won't theKids team release this player? How many teams has he played for this season? Is he an "impact" player? Will he be competing against his old team?
