| Dec. 19, 2010 The real deal | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What about Fathers? As a kid, I grew up watching my dad play (3b and lead-off hitter). Then got a chance to play on the same team with him in a church league for about 10 years. He's now 85 years old and finally stopped playing when he reached 80! |
| Dec. 18, 2010 The real deal | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How many guys have had the pleasure of playing with their son(s)? Playing with your kids is the best! I have had the pleasure of playing with my 3 sons and son-in-law in city leagues and weekend tourneys for the last 5 years. Currently playing weekend tournaments on a father - son team: 3 of us dads and the rest are all our sons. Nothin' better... |
| Dec. 17, 2010 The real deal | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A New Normal? By the looks of another thread, it seems like the haze is starting to get thicker... |
| Dec. 17, 2010 The real deal | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: February Tournament of Champions Polk County Sorry I missed the previous discussion about this. Why not have an end of the year TOC in late Oct. / early Nov. in a warm weather state, and continue the "long term contract with the people in Florida" by calling it the season's "Opening Weekend" tournament? Might actually draw more tournament champions for the year's finale. I know - too much change... |
| Dec. 16, 2010 The real deal | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: February Tournament of Champions Polk County I know this has been talked about before, but shouldn't the TOC should be the last tournament of the calender year instead of the first? A lot of teams have moved up / re-tooled / disbanded / etc. by February... |
| Dec. 15, 2010 The real deal | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How did you get your start in softball? After college baseball and two years of semi-pro league, I started playing fast pitch softball - what a blast! Still can't believe the things some of the pitchers could do with a pitched ball. After moving to CA., slow pitch was the only thing available. A little anti-climactic at first, but now it's one of the joys of life! Currently playing 2 nights a week city league (one of those with my 3 sons) in addition to senior ball. Let's play two! |

| Dec. 14, 2010 The real deal | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A New Normal? A lot of us have noticed and appreciated the kinder, more civil tone to this discussion board the last few days (and a couple of missing posters?). Thanks to SSUSA staff for allowing this website to return to what it was intended to be. Let's play ball! |
| Dec. 12, 2010 The real deal | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Re: Christmas shopping Thanks, taits, for the awesome post. And JR, your post put a lump in my throat and brought a tear to my eye. I think I'll be shopping at Sears this week... |

| Jan. 1, 2010 The real deal | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Top 5 Tips For A Successful 2010 Season 1). Add as many "5-tool" players to your team as possible. On my team, I am the only one who qualifies: I drink, smoke, gamble, cheat, and go to church every Sunday. Once you get this down, the softball stuff comes easy... 2). Eliminate "Eye Bounce". This year our outfielders will be trained to chase down fly balls with an open mouth (seriously guys, some of this stuff I couldn't make up). 3). Eliminate "Ball Bounce". In a related training technique, while chasing down fly balls, our outfielders will be trained to keep their balls from bouncing by opening their anal cavity. 4). Intimidate the other team by adding at least one player who is familiar with the hormone (he didn't pay her). 5). Add one player to your team who also moonlights as an umpire. This player is usually your second best player (with everyone else tied for first). He is also the last player to enter the game, and the first one to be ejected. By following these tips, I can guarantee a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year for your team, 'cuz I'm... The Real Deal |
| Dec. 30, 2009 The real deal | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Top 10 things I learned from this message board in 2009: 1). That Acai berry juice would help me lose weight. I lost 15 lbs. drinking this stuff! (Unfortunately, no one mentioned that the weight loss would come by way of constant diarreah). 2). Chicks dig the long ball! (Especially the grandmas in the stands with 6" of exposed cleavage). 3). Some teams just don't take senior softball seriously enough! While our team was taking BP in the weed patch next to Costco in Turlock before our next game, our opponents were sitting in a big circle, laughing, yukkin' it up, and enjoying their favorite beverage together. They just don't get it! 4). If you post something on this board that disparages me or my co-workers, I'll sue yer ass! 5). To improve my quickness and agility, I should stand in front of my bedroom mirror, flex a few times, and move up and back - side to side as rapidly as possible! (Note: To avoid whiplash pain, please wear underwear...) 6). If pitchers need to wear protective gear, they should find another position, or retire! (Especially if I want to "buzz the tower"). 7). Regarding the "best outfielders" post, I was pissed that none of my teammates submitted my name (those bastards!) They're lucky to have me. Not only am I the most gifted player on my team, I'm also the nicest guy... 8). Einstein, Dirty, and Mad Dog must be future HOF'ers! 9). We demand a bat / ball combination that will allow us to be so impressed with ourselves that we won't need to use Viagra. 10). SSUSA doesn't need to spend any time or effort trying to determine what the players want. Just ask ME, because I speak for the majority! cuz I'm... The Real Deal |
