| Smitty made an absolutly sick play in left center @ hunters, jumping as high as he can and bringing back an obvious homerun. He did't hold on to the ball as he crashed into the fence. Everyone on both teams let out a collective ohhhhh as he robbed it.
Also, Dean A hit an absolute bomb to dead center field, right of the hill top of the trees.
Anyone else???

| Smitty makes a sick catch a week and Guapo is good for 2 or 3 bombs a week too no surprise on either of their parts.
I do got one for ya Artie hitting 2 homeruns in one weekend doubling his career total. (It was only Washington Oak but that is opposite way for him)

| Not sure of the GENTLEMAN"S name on Patriot Oil but, they have a shortstop there that is unbelieveable. He can jump, dive, stretch, extend, and Hit. He robbed a few hits from us that any other time would have been hits. Took till the 6th inning of the second game to for us to realize that he was human. Chip you got a great team over there and you & your team are going to give some teams a lot to handlefull...Good Luck

| Am I understanding that a catch that Ian DIDN'T make is qualifying for highlight reels? Hey I would have made this awesome diving stop of a rocket through the hole. Except I was the DH.
Guapo hitting the top of the hill is no biggie for me. I have seen him drunk off his ass hold his own against Roger Murray in a home run derby at Clegg.

| Felix is an awesome hitter. One of the best I have seen. Superb power to the opposite field. Ians catch wasnt a catch..he missed it. If we are talking almost great plays, he wins. How can we give an atta boy for a near catch? A younger, lighter Ian would have had it in his back pocket. The source of Arties new found power ..I am going to say it....the USSSA balls are golf balls fellas...there appears to be no turning back..but, HUGE mistake . Dean hit one to the top of the TREES in right..Big Country as well..in RIGHT. Village Pub had a guy who hit his first ever homerun and wanted to run the homerun out. Next time up, he hit his 2nd career homerun..next week..3rd 4th and 5th. Its a joke. No, more than a joke. Its dangerous. Dean was almost embarrassed by his prodigious display of power.........either the bats or the balls have to be changed.

| The gentleman on Patriot Oil of which you are speaking is John Fuentes (90% sure on the last name)(though im going to start making a push to get him the nickname "Tiger" due to his strong resemblance to Tiger Woods). He is an amazing player, a 5 tool player for sure (what's the 5th anyways? I got power, average, speed, and defense). He has got to be one of the biggest off-season pick up of any team this year.

| Artie already picked up the clap in '07? How many exemptions is he getting.
Ryman before you proclaim a 5 tool player you should know what all the tools are you tool.
The 5th is the arm.

| I thought the arm would be part of defense. No matter, he's got a great arm. Strong and accurate.
