| July 19, 2008 Ken | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A team's rating! Taits, To answer your question about how many guys we had back from last year's Basehawgs, it was 9. We added 5 guys from our 50 team that turned 55, and one other guy. Except for the new guy, we all played on the 50 Basehawgs at one time or another that was rated AA and AAA. These things are easy for SSUSA to check. The rosters are on file. These are the things that they should review, not just look at a run differential that was skewed by a couple of high scoring open innings. |
| July 19, 2008 Ken | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A team's rating! This whole fiasco just leaves me feeling confused, disgusted, and powerless. I’m the guy that put the appeal package together for Hennessy. I showed them that we played the same 2 AAA teams 7 out of 11 games, and that we scored 14 runs in our open inning in one game that was close the whole way until then. The only thing they considered in all the info that I made available to them was the 6.6 run differential. That’s it. We asked the tournament directors from the three tournaments we played in to contact Hennessy and give him their own opinion of our abilities and where they thought we should be rated. I know this was done, because I actually sat in one guy’s office while he called SSUSA. The same guy forwarded me an email that he sent to SSUSA saying all this. I forwarded to Chris at SSUSA, who was putting it all together for Hennessy. All of this was to no avail. I’m convinced that they didn’t even look at our records for the last 7 to 8 years when we were AA or AAA. Maybe they were tired from their trip to Japan. This concept of run differential is a joke anyway. All a team has to do is lose one of their seating games by a lot. There are teams doing this all the time to play the system. If SSUSA wants to look at statistics, why not look at those instead of just run differential. There are teams that have won multiple ring tournaments and continue to play AAA. We never won any big tournaments, and now we never will have the chance to. We tried to play it straight and were screwed for our efforts, while they continue to ignore the real statistics and play with people’s lives. |
| July 15, 2008 Ken | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Movie Trivia 14 Robert Wagner is correct. I thought the Mundy clue (as in Alexander Mundy, It Takes a Thief) would give it away. |
| July 14, 2008 Ken | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Movie Trivia 14 Well, it's "Mundy" and nobody has ventured a guess on this. |

| July 7, 2008 Ken | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Movie Trivia 14 Okay, In the Paul Newman movie "Sometimes A Great Notion", his brother died in the end. Who played the brother and how did he die? |
| July 5, 2008 Ken | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Ratings; to move up or down or stay where your at, a comfort zone as it were. Taits, maybe we/they are trying to get things fixed through the appeal process before airing our opinions on this board. |

| July 2, 2008 Ken | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: team ratings I was told that the people that make the decisions on ratings are meeting again on July 10th. Maybe this discussion should be tabled until after that date. They may try to rectify some of their mistakes. One thing I did hear is that the magic number for run differential is lower than 8. |
| June 29, 2008 Ken | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Movie Trivia 13 Right you are. You're up. |
| June 28, 2008 Ken | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Movie Trivia 13 Anybody? Maybe I should have said "Who or what threw up in the back of the Cadillac? This is Draggin' on, lol. |

| June 24, 2008 Ken | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Movie Trivia 12 Cuba Gooding Jr. is the second answer. As for the bat, I think it was an old Demarini, but not sure. All I know is that they should have had a stand in for Tom Cruise when he was swinging, lol. |
