Sept. 8, 2008 idahoreb | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Phoenix fields What are the fields like at Mountain Vista? |
Aug. 29, 2008 idahoreb | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Accomodations in Phoenix We are staying at the Residence Inn in the Tempe area. What is the area like? Thanks |
Aug. 22, 2008 idahoreb | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Phoenix Worlds!! Old Dawgs will be there. |
Aug. 7, 2008 idahoreb | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: RAINOUT IN ISA NATIONALS IN BRIDGETON MO Better yet. If you ever get the chance to play in the Reno/Sparks, Nevada area and they are using the Golden Eagle facility, make sure you attend. Best facilities for softball in the world, bar none. Look it up on line for info. All field turf fields and great weather. SSUSA events and great tournaments. |
Aug. 6, 2008 idahoreb | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: RATINGS WARS And the reason you will not find out just how good you are, rather it be against 55 AAA or major, is because you have decided to protest and not play. You could have played Roseville against major competiton just to see how you faired. Too bad for you and everyone else who is affected by your decision. However, I would venture to guess that if you called SSUSA and asked to get in the Roseville tournament they would be more than willing to accept your team, even today. Just a thought. |
Aug. 6, 2008 idahoreb | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: RATINGS WARS I would venture to say that you are missing the point with moving you to major from AAA. SSUSA surveyed the teams and saw your team as being far above the existing AAA teams in competitive games played and future AAA games and moved you to the major level to make all playing fields more level. They know the teams and if you added two major players to your existing strong AAA team from last year then they determined that you were well above the skills level of esisting 55 AAA teams and moved you to majors. What is so hard to understand about that logic and reasoning? They were protecting the 55 AAA teams from being blown away by a far superior team. That should be the end of the story and just get out and play the game we love but spend a lot of money and time on. Complaining is easy, playing the game at the appropriate level for your team should be a challenge we all should love and anticipate. |
Aug. 5, 2008 idahoreb | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: RATINGS WARS One issue that you are forgetting with your boycott. You are hurting teams that attend these functions with your refusal to play. We are a 55 major team that was moved up from AAA and we continue to play. Our problem is a team like yours who does not agree with being moved up so doesn't play out of protest. You are hurting us because of the lack of teams in a tournament. We are a singles hitting team with one or two power guys but we play defense. We can play at the 55 major level because we stepped up our game to be there. I think you will find a world of difference with the 55 majors compared to the 50 majors. Much more equal competition among the teams with more emphasis on defense and singles and gap hitters and less on hr's. We need you back in the 55 majors for the competition at these tournaments. |
July 28, 2008 idahoreb | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 55 major websites Old Dawgs will be at the Cal Cup in mid August and in Phoenix. |
July 28, 2008 idahoreb | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Cal Cup Heard there were only 25 teams signed up for the Cal Cup the middle of August. Who is going? |
July 25, 2008 idahoreb | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 55 major websites Here is a concept. How about all 55 major teams, (there are 31 listed), put together an email list serv and we let each other know where we are playing in the major tournaments. We would be able to then decide if there were going to be enough teams in each tournament and could enter a tournament knowing we would see more than 2 or 3 teams. For the amount of money we are spending to go to these tournaments it would be great to know the number of teams before we put up the entry fee. We could also use it to inform each other of the good tournaments that we should attend and those that we need to stay away from. Thanks Ron B Old Dawgs 55, Sacramento, Ca |
July 23, 2008 idahoreb | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: idahoreb We need to know who is going to the Cal Cup in Roseville on Aug 15-17 in the 55 major bracket. We need to kow right away to determine if we are going. |
Oct. 12, 2007 idahoreb | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: LOOK' to buy a Wilson A1695 XXXL Softball Glove. I have also been looking for some time for this glove. I have not had any luck in finding. Please let me know if you are successful. |
Oct. 8, 2007 idahoreb | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Terry et al Einstein I am with you all the way about TNG (Gary 19) but have one suggestion. If you are going to contact Terry, do it directly and not on the web site. I have problems with the lack of enforcement but I did not use the web site as a sounding board but sent a message to him directly. See you in Phoenix. |
Oct. 5, 2007 idahoreb | Topic: Product review Discussion: Gary 19,just curious. At last someone has found a way to fund Senior Softball for the next two years. Set up a match between TNG and Pete D and sell tickets. Would sell out most major venues in hours. Do you realize how childish this sounds? Just like the conversations with TNG over this web site. I am glad to see that the true nature of TNG is coming out with the "I will face you anytime" statement. Sounds like a physical threat to me. |
Sept. 25, 2007 idahoreb | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Why?????? TNG: I find it very offensive to tell someone to "shut up" and never allowed my kids to say that among themselves or to others. It shows a total lack of respect for the person you are saying it to. My daddy always said, "if you can't say anything...", so if you are more than willing to comply, COMPLY. |
Sept. 25, 2007 idahoreb | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Why?????? Why is it that a few have to spoil it for the rest of us? I used to love to read the Message Board to follow discussions relating to Senior Softball and how we can make it a better sport for all concerned. Now what do we have? Three guys who have taken over the Board and all are trying to one up the other in length of message, criticism, jabs at the other, namecalling, etc. Ya that would be you taits, einstein, and TNG. This is about Senior Softball and how to make it even better than it is. It is not about you and your opinions or defensive dribble. Keep to the topic (Senior Softball) and add your insight when it is appropriate. Now here comes the defensive posture from the \"group\". |
Sept. 6, 2007 idahoreb | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: looking for tournament We are a 50+ AAA team from Northern California. We are trying to find a tournament at the end of September that will keep us sharp for Phoenix since the Nor Cal tournament for Manteca was cancelled. If you know of any tournaments the last weekend of Sept (29, 30) please list. We would like to stay in the N. Calif area. Another thought would be if 4 or 5 other teams need to play that weekend, we could get together and play a round robin over the weekend. Did this before and we did a "call your own" instead of paying umps and just had to pay a fee for the fields. Just a thought. |
Aug. 30, 2007 idahoreb | Topic: Bats Discussion: Combat Just saw the ad at their web site about the bat. It is a Senior Combat with a 10" barrel and has red markings. Must be new. |
Aug. 30, 2007 idahoreb | Topic: Bats Discussion: Combat Has anyone used the Senior Combat with the short sweet spot (10") and if you have how does it compare to the regualr Senior combat? |
Aug. 28, 2007 idahoreb | Topic: Bats Discussion: BREAK in PERIODS & "BEST' BATS!! How about the ASA Rip It Reaper as it compares to the Anti-Virus for ASA? |
