Louisville Slugger Baseball Bats Report

Open Question: I am looking for some new baseball gear for this summer and the rest of this season.What are some good forums?

Can you re-direct me to some good baseball forums if you know of any? I am looking for a forum that discusses equipment and has reviews and that sort of thing. Mainly I want to focus on gear and use the site as an aid to eliminate some options and find my perfect gear. Thanks!

Resolved Question: Why is it that my body doesn't seem to be growing but I'm constantly eating and working out?

I've looked all around for answers to my strange situation (what I think of it now) but I haven't found anything of any use. I am Male, 18, 5'8.5, 130lbs. I am a very athletic person, I have literally no body fat (like 1.5%) and a very strong muscle structure. I am constantly eating anything that is really in sight. If I eat a meal 20mins later I start eating again. I've tried protein shakes, I eat fairly healthy but I also eat a good amount of junk. I've been trying to understand if my body just needs to constantly eat so that I can keep up with me playing sports and such. My mom says that I'm growing, but I haven't really grown in weight or in height that much. My weight does fluctuate a lot but usually goes between 127.5lbs-134lbs. I would really like to know what's up with my body. Am I actually growing, just in other aspects other than height? Am I gearing up towards something? Or what's going on? Oh also I have a fraternal twin who's always been ahead of me in growing, even though he's never matched my physical strength or athleticism (if that's of any help). I really want to grow, my college Baseball coach and my previous coaches I feel look down on me because I'm smaller, even though I've always had some of the best stats on any team I've been on. And if I could just grow a little it'd take me much further with my abilities

Resolved Question: Is there anywhere I can by baseball gear in Moscow Russia?

Resolved Question: Hockey sections view on a baseball topic? Americans especially! (NHL)?

Bob doesn't suffer stupidity well at the best of times but this Ozzie Guillen, Miami Marlins nonsense has really grinded my gears. I have read the articles and I also read the comments below.......and I am flabbergasted at how naive the American people are when it pertains to Cuba, Fidel Castro, history outside of their own and just plain old common sense. So, it's not really a hockey question but I have to know how hockey fans feel. 1. Do you side with the Marlins or Ozzie? 2. Why or why not? Timothy's answer is a prime example of what I am talking about. Ask any person who has lived in Cuba? I have been to Cuba 8 times. I've lived the real Cuba....I have been to Havana, I have been through the Sierra Maestra moutains where Fidel hid out, I have been to baseball games in Manteras....and the American Government and propoganda has you all brainwashed. I don't want to say you are stupid....just ignorant and misinformed. Castro is far from a "Hitler" or a Saddam. Fidel cares about his people. Nobody goes hungry in Cuba, nobody gets refused healthcare or education because they cannot afford it. Can the same be said about the USA (or Canada)? I urge you to go and read up on Cuban history. Fidel led a rebellion against a brutal dictator Batista....Che Geuvera was a great man as well. Many of the Cubans in Miami were Batistas posse...thugs. It's pathetic. I LOVE FIDEL. He is very misunderstood and I had no idea how naive the Americans were on the topic until Ozzie said he respected him for being so resilient. What happened when Kanye said "Bush hates black people" on national TV....nothing. Sometimes the U.S is so back asswards. Cuba, as a 3rd world country, has a better infant mortality rate than the USA. He's such a monster! Cuba, as a 3rd world country, has a better infant mortality rate than the USA. He's such a monster! Something I find SOOOOOO interesting is the "Canadian" point of view as opposed to the "American" point of view. Something I find SOOOOOO interesting is the "Canadian" point of view as opposed to the "American" point of view. How dare anyone disagree with the American way. Yet, Bush can rig elections, start wars based on bullcrap, etc etc.....it's such propoganda. The Miami Cubans are for the most part frickin' war criminals. The CIA and the mob all had their dirty hands in this too. Timothy...as I said, I have spent alot of time in Cuba....and not just penned up in glorious resorts (although that too) and I always ask the Cuban people what their thoughts are on Fidel....many don't agree with all his policies but the overwhelming opinion is that he loves and cares for his people.

Timothy- Just your whole premise that "MILLIONS" of Cubans are fleeing Cuba tells me how little you know about anything. Cuba only has a population of 11 million people you simpleton.

How often do we hear people whine about wishing they still had the death penalty for this or that or the other thing...yes, Fidel has had people executed for crimes. It is part of what makes Cuba so safe and why it lacks crime. Take a tourist hostage and you very well may be executed. If you ask me, Mexico needs to practice the same thing. BTW "Timmy"...I tried to keep it respectful because I recognized from your previous posts that you are not in the highest percentile of IQ ranges so to each their own....no more.

Go Leafs Go- Exactly...it was an opinion on his respect for the man (even though the US papers are skewing it and saying he loves him)....freedom of speech, it wasn't a slur and he didn't wrong anyone. He said he respects his resilience. Cpmparing it to Marge Schott...what is wrong with these people?

I said I have experienced the real Cuba...not only in resorts.....and the link you gave is ridiculous. He was told to join the military, so he left Cuba and is whining about potholes there? Are you serious?

Resolved Question: Is it time to ban all professional, college and lower level spectator sports?

I have said for a long time that pro sports are generally stupid and we don't need them, especially until we deal with our other problems and get our country straightened out. Then, a man gets beaten nearly to death in California at the time of a baseball game, and fans are routinely unruly and violent in and out of the stands. I would have said limit it to the college level on down. But now the University of Kentucky has disgraced our nation with their unsportsmanlike rampant mobs that have set cars and other objects on fire, warranting the police to come out in riot gear. THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PROCEED any further in this tournament, and this shows irresponsibility on the part of the NCAA, in my opinion. You would think it would stop here, but we also know that even on the children's level, games are prone to become violent if parents disagree with calls, with outcomes or whether their children get to play enough. I say it's time to shut it all down, period, and I don't care about the non-offensive people who are respectful. The weirdos, the nutjobs and the drunkards have ruined it for everyone as far as I'm concerned. Well, what do you think, if there are any non-hot dog loving, sober people on here?

Resolved Question: Books to help parents to understand how child is feeling?

My son's father & I broke up when I was about 6 months pregnant. When he was younger, he would scream & cry on the weekends he had to visit him. My son is 8 years old now & over the last few years, he's adjusted & come to enjoy his time with his Dad. But I notice that when it's his Dad's time & we're at an event (i.e. baseball games) he acts different towards me, almost like he thinks that he can't speak to me if it's his Dad's time. I've tried to talk to him about it many times but he always says that nothing is wrong. I honestly think that maybe he doesn't know how to translate how he feels into words. Are there any books that help parents better understand the feelings of a child that goes back & forth between Mom & Dad's house? I've looked pretty extensively online but all I can find are books that are geared toward children in the middle of a divorce or separation... Does anyone have any suggestions on reading material? Thanks...
