Girls should be using the best bat that is legal for that event. It would be stupid to unilaterally use inferior equipment than your competition - and that applies to both the game at hand and showcasing purposes.
Thank God you weren't running the US during the Cold War - the USSR would be ruling the world if you were.
This is the problem with having political and religious discussions on a softball board. The responses that jonriv is getting after the recent Chick-Fil-A subject feel like backlash from his comments there. I suspect Ginnepwo will receive the same treatment as well now that he has expressed an opposing opinion.
I disagree with your conclusion - this had nothing to do with the Chick-fil-A thread. It was from JR reacting rudely to a gentle suggestion that he didn't follow what was posted and from his tiresome crusade to keep anyone from using the Phenix anywhere since his DD can't use hers in college games.
G will be fine as he is highly regarded by others. I don't remember anyone posting anything that was a personal attack.
Never discuss politics or religion. Best way to get ostracized and lose "friends".
Generally true and a good policy to live by.
Man I can't wait until this next election is over.
I hope you don't think there was something political or religious in my line about the USSR. It was simply an analogy about the absurdity of unilaterally weakening yourself in a conflict or competition.
My apologies if I misunderstood. I am killing time right now on my laptop at Bill Barber. They are unfortunately one hour behind schedule today.
If anyone from the Bucket is here please stop over and say hello. I'm the goofy looking guy with the Captain America shirt on (I know I know...I'll grow up someday...honest).
BTW...Oregon, Oregon State and North Dakota State are within view. I haven't bothered to get up and see who else is here.
Hope everyone here at PGF is having as much fun as this first-timer is.
