Sigh. The northstar boards are my new favorite thing. Do people not get out of the house? So close minded. Keeps things interesting. :)

Since you brought it to my attention I checked it out. Under Mandan Power Rankings we in the top 10. But not a good ten from what I read. They said we were the worst fielding team ever seen...HHHMMM ok we are not the prettiest top watch I admit that, but we contend...yes the 4-16 tourny record isnt pretty, have to admit that but we also lost 12 of them by 4 runs or less...Anyway just had to laugh

I'll put my extended against any new bat. Jim can attest to that. It passed at mich golden lite, and the ball pops off better then all the combats, triad, j3, or flipper. It wouldn't of made it another year with old balls but I get accused of it being illegal all the time but it continues to pass compression weekend after weekend

I have a 26 oz Extended with probably 3000 cuts on it. Tests at tourneys around 1460-1475 everytime. I've been told "it's close" for 3 years.

But with my swing no one is accusing me of cheating.

I wish there were as many late season tournaments as there are early season tournaments. I need more tournies! Pumped for Rec 1 state, but need something else between here and there.

They dont miss anything in the field - if its hit to them, they make the play, Very solid, all around the field..... and they have speed and like to run....... but they cant hit for sheot - they all use the Legion "wide stride" baseball stance and swing with arms and wrist (slap at it) - I think one guy actually hit a fly ball otherwise everything is on the ground and not hard, slow rollers....

We did drop both games to them, but we had a bad case of post tourney hangover .... 9 games in 3 days was just to much for this old crew... not an excuse, they beat us, but I think we beat ourselves just as much as they beat us... if that makes sense....

Overall - they are a solid Rec 3 team... they will win lots of low scoring, 1 run games...

PS - I'm over 40 :D

Yep, with Shirt Shack, no way we couldve played Div one...plus noone can beat Stadium Old Pro anyway. They should be like Mortiz womans team, cant play when you win all the time LMAO. Div 2 was very evenly match, great games and super fellas. Div 2 35+ is SUPER competitive...
