| , Sept. 23, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Zytiga/Prednizone my mom was on prednisone for years to combat COPD....a serious side effect is that it makes bones brittle as we found out later with many micro fractures in her spine.......if it is short term, it will do it's job, but long term has serious side effects....use as doctor directs |
| , Sept. 20, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Vegas Bat Display I will add that Alan is top notch also....I have met him personally and talked to him on the phone many times....he always answers my texts and emails and is never to busy for me.....any problems, he takes care of them for me.....we all could try to do what he does but after a week or two of me and all my softball buddies, I would resign.....we are a very demanding group to say the least....I have nothing but high praise and respect for the man and not only does he supply good information and equipment, he backs it up by his playing and competing....Brian from Syracuse |
| , Sept. 12, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 3N2 Shoes uh-oh...just bought 2 more pairs of Boombah Riots too....maybe that's why they were 20 and 25 bucks for a pair BUT, they feel great with extra insole and traction is superb...no separation issues yet....also used successfully Mizuno eruption turf shoes and had great luck with them.....I am sure they all are good in some respects but everyone has different feet so one person's success is another's failure |

| , Sept. 11, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Fall Training Camp for Senior players Alan, I am out for the fall training camp....but look forward to the spring session....hopefully it is in March this time so it is closer to the start of our outdoor season in the northeast....either way, I will probably go and have another great start to the softball season |
| , Sept. 3, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Getting released from a team you don't want to play for any longer imagine if we played for money....prize money!!!.....I remember a long time ago playing in cash tourneys....it went downhill from there....teams started loading up, rec teams disappeared, leagues folded and all that was left were super teams.....what used to be a 14 team league sunk down to 3 or 4 and that was the beginning of the end....if a guy wants to leave, let him go....it's not always greener on the other side and wouldn't you rather play with friends than be a part of a super team and lose good relationships that you had for 20plus years over softball.....I don't know, I guess I am getting old |

| , Aug. 29, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Little League World Series way to go NY and USA......great job |
| , Aug. 27, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Little League World Series today's US Final was umpired very very well.....I think they had a conference amongst the umps about the strike zone |
| , Aug. 27, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Little League World Series wayne....the "slot" misses a lot of the opposite side pitches thus leading to bad/missed calls on balls and strikes.....if that is how they are taught then there are going to be many upset hitters and coaches |
| , Aug. 27, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken 2 piece balalanced vs. Adidas me lee 2 balanced I have both...for me, the Melee2 is better....more pop, better feel and just a better confidence in my hands...Miken is a great bat too BUT, see first statement |
| , Aug. 26, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Little League World Series there seems to be a pattern here....the side of the plate that the ump is opposite is the side where the ball is 6 inches inside or outside ....do we see a pattern here??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlIoliH8NRM |
| , Aug. 26, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Little League World Series maybe it is the angle the ump uses...why don't they sit right behind the catcher and see both sides of the plate...seems pretty simple.....watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGWXx4_auuM |
| , Aug. 26, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Little League World Series the link above to the ump punching out the kid on a pitch that was easily a FOOT outside was ridiculous.....at least sold the call.....except to the batter.....we are so used to calls on TV where strike boxes are used and play in games where a ball hits a mat or it doesn't, so when I watch these umps banging out a kid on a 8 inch inside pitch,, it is disappointing.....I doubt these guys are volunteers totally too.....our league used to pay kids 10-15 bucks to get abused by coaches and especially parents.....at this level, Little League should find the best and use them.....good luck to NY, just an hour down the road from me |
| , Aug. 25, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Little League World Series when I coached little league 10 yrs ago, the strike zone was 1 fist on each side of the plate....this prevented tons of walks and encouraged kids to swing the bat....BUT after seeing some of the calls the last 2 days it seemed like 6 inches |
| , Aug. 3, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SOFTBALL SHOES I wish they made the Erupt in more colors besides black and white...the shoes are great though...I put extra insole for more cushioning |
| , Aug. 1, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Combat no longer making bats I heard about Combat not making bats any longer and researched it and found a company letter stating that Performance sports (basically Easton) will no longer make Combat bats and close their Canadian plants.....once they sell out all their current product, they will be done making bats....their technologies will still be used in future bats probably under an Easton nameplate.....looks like another giant has swallowed up a smaller one , which is really how the world is changing every day |
| , July 11, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Northeast Championships Results Session One great weekend for Custom Logo of Syracuse.....undefeated at 5-0 to win 50AAA......Syracuse had great representation throughout bracket as teams competed well in all brackets.....congrats guys |
| , June 28, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: End cap reglued Altered Bat can an aftermarket end cap be used if the original cap is broken? |
| , June 14, 2016 bkb555 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: My son Tim I have had the pleasure of meeting Alan personally and know he is a great person....my heart was saddened when I learned of Tim's passing this weekend......Alan, you are in our thoughts and well wishes in Central NY....god bless you and your family......Brian in Syracuse NY |
