| April 20, 2023 jimperry19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Scores Webbie, I always like your input and your Apr 1st posts are something I look forward to every year. To clarify, I think up to date scoring should be the norm, I know its not always possible and I get that. But it should expected, and the norm. I did not mean to come across like a jack ass , nor did I mean to call you out. It's weird when you read something you posted and you think 'I didn't mean to sound like that'. Anyway, have a great, and a safe, season. Take care. Jim |
| April 19, 2023 jimperry19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Scores We played 60M at Sunset, we had the good fortune of playing 11 games because we decided the best way for a bunch of 60 year old guys from Washington to get used to warm weather was to play 11 gmes in it. It is now Wednesday, I hope by end of day I can feed and wash myself. Actually, it was a blast, we had really good umping for 3 days, games ran close to on time, the competition was absolutely amazing. We had great games with Vegas Elite , Dirty Birds , Enforcers , Sonoma Crush and my old friend Rick (class act), The Idaho guys Nu Life . The team that beat us in the 'ship was a total class act, Xcelerated Softball (?) I am forgetting team names cuz of the heat stroke. I will say this,a lot of 60 year old guys play their whole lives to have a weekend like that, softball in the sun against great competition, beer in the shade with teammates after. Flat out living the dream. Thanks SSUSA. Ok, downside, Major should not play Major Plus in seeding. Just shouldnt happen. They are Plus for a reason. It affects seeding, extra games, etc. I get why it occured, it shouldnt. Plus side, up to date scores, awesome, our friends in Washington were following us, along with my wife. I think she was so she would know when to kick the mailman out. Also, Webbie I almost always agree with you, your post on this discussion is silly, people deserve posted scores and you know it. The silence is deafening because a vast majority of players appreciate it. SSUSA thanks for a great weekend. |

| July 19, 2022 jimperry19 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Jim Sherman Memorial last weekend Salem OR Just wanted to say that we played the Sherman Memorial last weekend at Wallace Marine. Field Crew did a great job, fields were prepped before every game, watered, lined, raked etc. Games were on time, TDs very approachable, balls seemed fine, at least there were plenty of HRs hit as far as I could tell, never heard anyone complaining and you had to dodge HR balls when driving out of park. Bathrooms were very clean and concessions had a lot to offer, including cold beer. Great tourney, great competition. To be clear, I have no idea how the fields down in Albany played. We are very quick to get on here and complain, which is our right, but there is nothing wrong with pointing out a job well done by SSUSA and Parks Dept. That is all. Jim Perry #19, Wolfpack 55M. |
| June 28, 2022 jimperry19 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Jim Sherman Salem, OR July 12-17 Dave, thanks for the quick response. Will you be in Salem for the tourney? |
| June 28, 2022 jimperry19 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Jim Sherman Salem, OR July 12-17 Hi Dave, I hope you are well. I just noticed that Albany has been added as a venue for the Jim Sherman. Correct me if I am wrong, but that was not the case last week, it only showed Wallace Marine. Can you please tell me where 55M will be played this year, my team made reservations assuming we were in Salem. If we are in Albany some players may want to try to move. We have been in Albany the last couple years, so maybe its our turn to be in Salem? Anyway, take care and thanks for any info you can provide. Jim Perry, Wolfpack 55M. |
| Dec. 17, 2021 jimperry19 | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Established Washington State 65 major mens team Thanks Jeff. Yes, doing fine and recovering. |
| Dec. 16, 2021 jimperry19 | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Established Washington State 65 major mens team I agree with half of that. It is a great team. Not sure about the coach. Jeff, just kidding. I hope you are well and have a great holiday with family. Jim Perry |
| Oct. 19, 2021 jimperry19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: You make the call - please Webbie, I have always enjoyed your posts on this board and I have almost always agreed with what you have to say. That opinion changed today when you started your post with the words "Interesting Discussion" :). This is classic 'Beating a Dead Horse' and Turning2, you need to quit saying that you are not on here to argue. That's all you do and unless people totally agree with you, you keep coming back like a bad cold. There needs to be a separate board for BJ, Turning and Wayne to argue about random senior softball situations. |
| July 20, 2021 jimperry19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Salem Results Us old guys are always quick to jump on here and complain everytime SSUSA does something that gets our blood pressure to rise (literally) so I wanted to point out that our team played in Northwest Championship/Jim Sherman Memorial this past weekend. We were sent off to the little outpost of Albany 30 some miles from Salem, yes it was inconvenient especially on Friday but we got through it and American currency is accepted in Albany. Timber Linn was not in bad shape considering the recent heat wave here in the west. I know outfields were a bit choppy in places but fields in good shape for most part. Games were on time, umps were really nice and professional,TD was very approachable, competition was excellent (thanks Bend Dirt Dogs, ERI, Vanc Connect, and All Out for excellent games. We were fortunate enough to win the event and the prize package was fantastic, great shirts (no comments needed from the guys that claim they don't play for a shirt they play for pride, FYI-you can do both) Anyway awesome shirts and a beautiful plaque that we are dedicating to our sponsor who passed away about a year ago, Bob "BA" Allen. I would love to see more teams attend this event next year, thanks SSUSA for a very well run and fun event. Dave are field assignments and scores complete for next years event yet? |
| July 7, 2021 jimperry19 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Dont blame SSUSA for the ball problem. Dave, I just saw your response. Yes, I did figure it was Albany Oregon :) I was hoping we were at Wallace Marine, but so be it. I am relieved to see that we are sticking with a "spherical, optic yellow' ball. |
| July 6, 2021 jimperry19 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Dont blame SSUSA for the ball problem. Hi Dave, not trying to pile on. Your last post references Albany for the Jim Sherman in addition to Salem. Albany is a long ways from Salem. When will teams know if they have to travel to Albany? Thank you for all you do for us.

| June 8, 2021 jimperry19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ROCK 'N RENO CHALLENGE...BRAVO !! 55 Major Rock n' Reno was awesome. Great complex, clean bathrooms, games on time, excellent umpiring in every game, TD returning texts with bracket play info so we didnt have to drive back, great competition. Everything about the event was top notch. Thanks Dave D, you are the man. Also if Ron was the UIC, you had an excellent crew working the 55 Major bracket. Very professional but also approachable, none made it about them, it was all about getting the calls correct and keeping the games moving. Cant wait until next year when 55M is back at Golden Eagle :) |
| May 21, 2021 jimperry19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Polk County How come when people go on here and attack the TDs and the TD comes back with a polite professional answer, the person very rarely comes back and apologizes or says 'Wow I feel stupid, sorry about that'. I seriously wonder what will happen to all these tourneys that occur every year when the people that run them finally decide that it is not worth the hassle or having to deal with all the complaining. People have every right to ask questions, I always question why it takes so long to get tourney results, and its a valid question. But it is possible to ask a question without coming across as a complete dick. |
| May 15, 2021 jimperry19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: You make the call Dave you are the man. Thanks for everything you do for us and thanks for getting the Reno bracket out so quickly. Hope to see you there. |
| May 15, 2021 jimperry19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: You make the call Geez. I miss Wayne. |
| April 18, 2021 jimperry19 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Bracket Updates You know things are returning to normal now that people are complaining about scores not being posted and SSUSA justifying it. I sure have missed that. Welcome back everybody!!!! Now I just need somebody to tell me they dont play tournaments to win T-shirts and/or their garage is filled with boxes of them then I know we have conquered COVID. Good luck everyone, enjoy the game. |
| Feb. 8, 2021 jimperry19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rule book I am so happy that this site is turning into an umpire pissing match message board. As soon as one subject gets beaten to death, then we just start a new one. So entertaining. |
| Dec. 30, 2020 jimperry19 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Elite Sports jerseys I don't think he (or she) is bitching or complaining, just asking for help or guidance on a message board, which is one of the main uses of a message board. Free shirts? Travel a team (assuming they traveled in) to Phoenix, stay in hotels, buy meals, rent cars, possible air line tickets, entry fee etc etc. No such thing as a free shirt in softball. I believe he is just trying to find out about the prize his team won. What is wrong with emailing someone during the holidays and asking a question? Is there a specific timeframe for this type of email? Some folks only have time to send emails during that time of year because they are on vacation. People ask questions on this board and then get blown up for asking. It kind of defeats the purpose of the board. |
