I am sure that Ted B, & the Prescott Seniors were not happy w/ the MOB & the KIDZ. There will be New Rules, because , the KIDZ, tried to get the MOB, tossed out of that Tourney. GSF, did not try, so, why did the KIDZ? The MOB, would not play GSF. A forfeit. So, the KIDZ, "demaned" that the MOB, get tossed. So, those jerks, , YES, I am call' the KIDZ, jerks, forfeited to the MOB & did NOT play the MOB. NO, GSF, did NOT demand that both the MOB & KIDZ, forfeit. Ron, u were there & the BAD BLOOD, will stay BAD. I am begain' to wonder about u Ron. Take care & I truly am look' FORWARD to twick' ur Nose. (_!_) Best of Luck Always...... The STONEMAN |

| Sept. 22, 2007 STONEMAN | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: This FUSS w/ PAT & the lil' KIDZ..... WHAT NO REPLIES? Good, here is more reasons what or why, the Kidz have a hard time field' a team. 1) U-Trip @ Salem, 7 yrs or so. The 55 Major Plus Vegas team, tired to have two 50 AAA Vegas players Suspended 4 one yr. "Kidz" lost, their appeal. 2) 2 yrs ago, @ Hutch', the Kidz brought one of the best 55 runners to Hutch', Ks. Kidz, went 0 & 4. This man should have ran 2 -4 times / game. My friend, ran only once. 3) 4 yrs ago @ St. G. Used a East Coast player. This man, later said, No thanks to the "KIDZ". Do u think that the player that sat that bench was happy??? 4) I know & have been told by @ least 6 players that they will never play 4 the Kidz again. There r a few players that did not want to be named or get involved. Let's NOT forget Pat. Did the Kidz, lie to Pat?? 5) Over the past several yrs, how many times @ the end of July, did the "Kidz", start look' 4 the next yr. Started build' their NEXT YR team in Aug.' & not in Nov."?? ( How many players did thr "Kidz" force out?) This was done 2 yrs ago. 6) Until 2 - 3 yrs ago, the "Kidz", had 2 well known bat doctors on their team. Wonder why, NO one will play 4 the "Kidz"???? 7) Ask Jack Taylor, a 55 coach, who will be the Field Director @ Freedom Park the 26th, about " Setting Up to Cheat"!! 8) What about their loud mouth player ( that was UMP'), accused Terell ( out of Fla), last yr @ Freedom of us' an ILLEGAL / ALTERED U-2 BAT? That bat 2 days earlier belonged to Rick, who traded me that heavy ( 30 oz) Bat 4 a 28 oz U-2. Do any of u SENIORS wonder why , NO one will play 4 the "Kidz"?? I DO NOT need an ALTERED / ILLEGAL BAT & neither does Rick or Terell (Cowboy). 9) Who went to the LVSSA BOARD & got the Club's prez to rule 4 the "Kidz" & ban Pat T.?? LVSSA, has it's own Board & sets their own rules...... LVSSA, does not have to follow SPA or SS-USA....... What about some of u AZ players, any commits? Any stories?? NO, AZ DOES NOT stand 4 Armillo Zoo! How many of the "Kidz" players, over the past 2 - 3 yrs, have been given their release, by other teams The STONEMAN...... |
| Sept. 22, 2007 STONEMAN | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: This FUSS w/ PAT & the lil' KIDZ..... CURTY & the REST: The group of men that run the Kidz team, have no one to blame but, theirselfs. In Vegas, there r a hand full of Grown Men, that will not play w/ 3-4 of the Kidz players. TRUE--- some of these Vegas Men, may not be Major Plus Players anymore.....So, play in the Major Plus Division & get beat. NOOOOO. All u want to do is win! This ACTION that u have & r tak', is the REASON WHY many SENIORS in the SW, WILL NOT play ball on the Kidz Team. ( Skinny Dugan's, Lady Luck, the Stingers, Kidz) Several of the Kidz players have burned players, bridges, relationships, & had huge egos, etc, etc. Plain & Simple, very few players in the SW, will play ball w/ several of the Kidzs Men. The Men that run Kidz, R act like very small, petty, lil' brats. Rules, who gives a damn about the rule that will NOT let Pat ,jump to another team? U call ur'selfs Major Plus Players........ Kidz players, r us' the excuss that Pat, said many nasty & rude things to D.B.'s.... I have said many rude & nasty things to DB., myself. I try to stay away from DB & several of the Kidz players. Yes, my actions @ time has been in poor taste, rude, insult', etc. I CAN NOT blame anyone 4 my actions but, myself. There r men that do not want me on their team. That feel's is mutual. I still try & do respect some of these men, but, it is in MY BEST INTEREST, to stay far from this team. I am NOT the only Vegas Player that has this thought. 4 those of u Seniors that do not know the Vegas Senior history, I have listen to & been told by several Vegas Seniors, that this matter w/ Pat, is REVENGE & PETTY. Both teams hate each other. Do NOT forget what happen in Reno, in June. ect, etc, etc... Try ask' the follow' questions? The leaders of the Kidz team: 10 How many Vegas players have these men tried to get suspended?? 2) How many Vegas men in this age the age group of 55, 60, & 65, will not play w/ this team? 3) How many Worlds have the Kidz won & used ILLEGAL PLAYERS?? 4) How many times have the Kidz players went to the TD's, cried, wanted the rules changed, the wind @ their backs, etc, etc?? I will clear this last point. After cheat', how many times have the Kidz, turned in another team 4 do' just what the Kidz where do'?? 5) Over the last 10 yrs, how many Worlds did the "FAB 4" win , by fil' protests?? 6) Filed & lost?? It is WRONG, to keep any player in any Division, that wants out.....PERIOD. The conversations that took place where w/ Men, 52 to 70 yrs ol'. Major Plus players r surposed to be the best players in their age groups. Stop cry' & just play ball 4 the fun & not some DAMN RING........ I can't win.... I can't win.... I'M MELTING, The STONEMAN |
| Sept. 20, 2007 STONEMAN | Topic: Website comments Discussion: 2nd CHANCES... I WILL TAKE the WAIT & C...... U Seniors can, & do just what u wants. Plain & Simple Respect, @ times is an Issue on this Message Board. RESPECT, in most cases is EARNED. Seniors r allowed by SS-USA, a chance to "air it out". THANK U SS-USA, ( Terry, Fran, Dave, Bill, & many others.) When humans RESPECT one another, ill feel's, etc, is NOT an ISSUE. A few months ago, I came to a point, where it was NOT in my own Best Interest TO ANSWER to some of the POST or persons that posted. About he same time, several other Seniors, also, stop answer' the ROSEY 19's, on this Message Board. Giv' anyone a 2nd chance, is up to each individual. No, I am NOT sorry, that I did set a trap & Rosey 19, showed their stupid side. Did Seniors or Rosey 19, learn anything from "our" past attempts?? NO, I DO NOT THINK ( am I fool' myself, that I can think?) SO!!! DWG' ... some of u....... The STONEMAN. |
| Sept. 19, 2007 STONEMAN | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: fair or unfair? DMAC: If, a player is not happy, why, should a player not get released? This happens all the time. If, a player wants a release, release that player. How many teams will put a player on a team, that has a History of chang' teams every yr? Not to many. In the past & present, I know of 1st yr. SENIORS, & many other reason', that get stuck & r forced to quit. These players MGR, will not release them, so, players, have been forced to quit..... PERIOD. If, another player was sleep' w/ ones wife, why, should that player not leave?? Set out a full yr or 6 months. In some areas, play' spoftball, has only a 6 to 8 months time slot. KIDZ.... now that's another story. I, as a Vegas player, have nothing good to say 4 that group of men. I can tell u some war stories & some of the crap, Yes, crap that the Lady Luck, The String, etc, & Kidz, have pulled over the yrs. There r several men on Kidz, that I do NOT c eye to eye w/. But Hank, Pro, Danny Mac, Barnes, Wendall, & Zebra, r good people. The release form, is out dated. This was brought about because, there were several Sponsors, that brought their players, etc. Hopefully, the SUMMIT, will review this rule. If, a AA player can move to AAA, or a AAA player to MAJORS, & so, forth, let these players move up a min' of 1 division, w/ out a release from any team. I can tell u a story, about a team that had several wifes, that did not like one of the teams' player wife. That team had to kick a certain player off, or else, the 3 players wifes, would NOT allowed their gutless dudes play, because of another mans' wife. Yes, I still hold a grudge toward the 60 yr olds Major- Major Plus players in Vegas. NO, NOT all of the problems were caused by them. DMAC... I thought that there was some Article that went like:" .... to the right of liberty & to the pursue of happyness ... & justice......" How is is right that a Coach or a MGR, can keep a player that wants to go play else where? In the past, many Coaches / MGR's, kicked the player off, or, stated that the player HAD quit. Would u Guys, go & spend $400 or more, just to set the bench. Travel, miss work, etc & NOT get to play??? THINK !! I believe that the Coach or MGR, must release a player has seen it's day & a few changes can be done now & in Janurary of 08". Reason' & sound think' needs to be applied.... The STONEMAN..... writters cramps? |
| Sept. 19, 2007 STONEMAN | Topic: Bats Discussion: Worth bat AUDIE: There was never a jail in Dodge City, that could keep ho-Jo & I in. C u guys, Thursday, about 3:30 pm. We can take B.P., & the INFAMOUS BOOZE BROTHERS, can tell u'll many, many tall tales. The STONEMAN..... |
| Sept. 19, 2007 STONEMAN | Topic: Website comments Discussion: NEXT GENERATION: SENIORS: I have watched several Major Plus teams over the yrs play. It appears that there r a few team that have almost everyone swing' a U-2. The best bats @ the time period ( the Synergy). I have also, watch a few teams, & these teams have won several WORLD's, that have only 2-3 players use the U-2. The NSA, ISA, & USSSA approved Bats r good enough 4 most SENIORS to use. If a SENIOR, needs a Senior Bat, these players r either old or do not have the ability or talent to be a Power Hitter... PERIOD...... In the summer, Seniors should use a 50 cor balls w/ a 400 comp. The new MCT balls hit well when the temp is in the 100 degree range. Most BALLS @ 100 DEGREES, lose 180 lbs or more of that balls compression. The problem, if, there is a problem??? It appears that many Seniors, even in the AA & AAA, want to be Home Run hitters. Many of these Seniors do Not have the Talent, but, can buy the equipment to become a POWER HITTER. If, there is a MARKET, someone will produce the "DESIRED" product. This in turn, ( money), gets the Bat MFG's, to design & produce Bats the "we silly Seniors", will spend thousands of DOLLARS on BATS. WHY??? To be Home Run hitters just like "our" heros when we were small children.. A dwg chas' his own tail.... The STONEMAN |
| Sept. 19, 2007 STONEMAN | Topic: Bats Discussion: Worth bat SOFTBALL JJ1: I talk to one of Miken's reps, the Sunday, before Reno.The LAUNCH 510, is made by Miken & "is" a U-2, but, w/ a diff' Knob, End Cap, & Paint Screem. Several of "us" 55 ball players in Vegas, broke 3 LAUNCHES. We got less than 50 swings on 2 of these Bats & about 100 swings on the 3rd Bat. If, one is careful (smart), & do Not hit the Launch, more than 20 times in B.P., the LAUNCH, will last longer. Again, most of the hitters that I take B. P. w/ prefer the U-2 or SENIOR COMBAT, over the WORTH LAUNCH. AUDIEH:: When u come to Vegas, bring more money & Ho-Jo... The STONEMAN... |
| Sept. 16, 2007 STONEMAN | Topic: Website comments Discussion: NEXT GENERATION: NEXT GENERATION: 4 the love of the game that I have lost the love 4. ( Since I started play' Senior Ball.) 4 the yrs, that I did dreamed of play' ball., when I was in my late 40's. 4 the summers that I worked on a trash truck & was not allowed to play baseball. 4 the lil' jerk off towns that I was forced to live in because my father was an ENLISTED MAN. My cross is mine to "bear" & no one else should have to "bear." 4 the love of the game; 4 the love of the SPORT & SPORTSMENSHIP; 4 the love of c' who is the better player on any given day. 4 the chance to meet or renew old friendships. GLORY, LAST A LIFE TIME, NO MATTER HOW SHORT, that glory lasted. As we SENIORS get older, it will be the players that remembered us, when we were younger men or women. As we grow old, it will be very important that the ones that remembered us as the young studs that we once were. HELL, WHY ASK WHY? What else, do we have when we have one foot already in the ground?? STONED AGAIN. |
| Sept. 15, 2007 STONEMAN | Topic: Website comments Discussion: NEXT GENERATION: THE NEXT GEN: If, one checks the team Ratings, on the left, one can read about 475 50 teams & 363 55 teams. The rat' shows about 130 Major teams in the 50 to 55 age group. In the Major Plus Division, there appears to be 69 Major Plus teams in the 50 to 55 age group. This rat' is greatly flawed. There is not 40 Major Plus Teams in the 50 age group. More like less than 15 Teams. Again, there is not 29 55 Major Plus teams, more like 12 to 15. In the 50 to 55 Major Plus age groups, this DIVISION, makes up about 15%. Bats: On a good day, most of the better Major Plus Power Hitters in the 50 & 55 MAJOR PLUS DIVISIONS, can hit any U-trip bat as far as a SENIOR BAT. Yes, ther r more than just a few 60 MAJOR PLUS PLAYERS, that can also, hit the U-trip bats 400'. HOW DOES THAT help the good players??? U asked. If, one uses or allows the SENIOR BATS, the thought was to stop the us' of the ILLEGAL & ALTERED BATS. This is a much beaten & tir' subject. Most really Major Plus players, DO NOT & will not use an ALTERED or ILLEGAL bat. SENIOR BALL.... @ times is a real joke w/ plunty of jokers in a short deck. The more one plays, the more wonders just what in the hell r we, SENIORS think'. GOOD LUCK... The STONEMAN |
| Sept. 15, 2007 STONEMAN | Topic: Website comments Discussion: NEXT GENERATION: THE NEXT GEN: It really does not matter. But, it would be nice to know, thereforth, to be able to "understand" where a player, hopefully, u r a SENIOR BALL PLAYER. There have been a few "PLAYERS", that all they wanted to do is start trouble. @ least 2, persons that POSTED, have been banned from us' this Message Board. As far as ones age, not really important. As 4 me, I would like to know if, I am talk' to an AA or a MAJOR PLUS PLAYER. WHY? Major Plus Players, r about 3 in 10. The "better ones", stay in the Major Plus events. What this means, is that we r luck to c or play against 8 diff' Major Plus teams a yr. In other words, most Major Plus teams, get tired of play' there same 3 to 5 teams, @ every tourney. Also, there seems to be a great deal of Players & Teams that like to play down, in order to win a World & get a "CHEAP" ring. I have seen Major Plus Players, win 4- 5 Worlds in a yr; & then attend the next World, a week later & play down in AAA or Majors. This play' down, out of Major Plus is a NO-NO. U deside, is this "CHEATING"?? BATS, now that is another matter..... Hope that this POST, might help? The STONEMAN............ OUT |
| Sept. 14, 2007 STONEMAN | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: to mask or not to mask TAITS: Leave the drug crap to the stupid MLB & sport writters. HGH- should be used in more cases. There is no reason why any human, should not be able to get this DRUG. Why, should a 50 yr ol' man have the Hormones of a 70 yr ol'??? HGH, Rest, & proper exercise, can give humans the hormones of a younger person. Many doctors, & WELLNESS CENTERS, c no reason why, humans, should not have the hormone levels of a 35 to 40 yr ol' person...... Higher HORMONE levels, will enable a better life & less disabilities 4 older SENIORS. The products that were found in Mark McQuire's, locker were found to be just another supplement. I DO NOT remember whick Medical Journal stated this find'. (w/ in the last yr.) Since, the 70's, it was found that a corked bats, only help increased the flight of a Ball only 1% or about 4'. It was not until the late 60's or early 70's that MLB players trained yr round. Mickey Mantle, was 6'-1" & his weight was about 190 lbs. In that era, Mantle was a "big size" player. Today, Mantles, size is that of a 2nd basemen. If, u Scot, were paid Millons, u would have the best Meals, Supplements, Equipment, Train' Routees, Trainers, etc. Back in the days & not until the 80's or so, did Ball players start to lift weights. When the BABE, played there was a period that if, a ball bounced over the fence, that ball was ruled a Home Run & not a ground rule double. (Not sure when I read this Article.) Even if, we all used the Single Wall Bats, there would still be Home Runs. But, there would only be a few players & not 8 to 12 players hit' Home Runs......, on each team. The STONEMAN..... |

In this grip, I put my right hand ring finger between my Index & Middle finger. I then try & use a "PISTOL GRIP" W/ my right Index & Thumb.. Hope this might help....... The STONEMAN......... OUT |
