Have You Seen Me Lately?

Pylon · 04-19-2007, 11:06 AM

I played in a league with no mat and it sucked. I try to avoid those leagues. The Monday league also has the double bag at first, which I really like as well.

Some stiffness today after the w/out, but not too bad. Second team starts tonight!

Pylon · 04-19-2007, 01:53 PM

One other note. If anyone is interested, I highly recommend two of the new Crystal Light flavors, cherry pomegranate and blueberry white tea. I have only seen them in the single packs so far, but they are great. My water intake has gone way up!

Schedule looks clear for tomorrow, so I have no good reason not to be in the gym. Right? Cardio first, then lifting, back on the same plan as before. Let's try to get through a full eight weeks this time.

remember its gotta be in your HEAD AND YOUR HEART before u put ur ASS in the gym

No mat works only if you have good, consistent umps, something not ususally found at the level I play at. The double bag was a great idea. Really cuts down on injuries.

Good lookin w/o, sorry about the stiffness, but you know it will pass!!! Best wishes in the future!!!

Pylon · 04-19-2007, 04:58 PM

It's a good kinda stiff. Means I doing it right.

Double D · 04-19-2007, 05:50 PM

Just 2. This is the first year I've done multiple leagues.

Speaking of which, we won 7-0 last night. I was 0-1,a BB and a sac fly, 1 R, 1 RBI. I found out in the 1st inning that might bat wasn't allowed (it is missing the ASA stamp, apparently) so I had to use someone else's. It sucked.

Pylon · 04-20-2007, 12:56 PM

Got in an hour of kickboxing class at lunch. My left quad is a little tight after last night's game, so I had to scale back a little, but still a great workout. A way more interesting than a treadmill.

By the way, big thanks for the artwork a while back, DOMS. Makes a great link.

You're welcome man. My skills are meager, though.

Yeah, but I counter balance with a bad diet and a lot of couch time. I'm sure it's over 20%. I've got a lot I need to shed.

Same here, man. Every day is a fight. I feel like I'm in some sort of food AA.

Today, I've been a pretty good boy.

I really dont like using a different bat that I havent been using. Especially if I am used to an end loaded bat and its a balanced bat, or vice versa. was the ounces the same?

Triple Threat · 04-20-2007, 03:09 PM

It took me a while when I switched from an even-loaded one to the end-loaded White Steel.

I'm a hot and cold guy. Either I'm really committed to clean food and have no desire for junk, or I couldn't care less and will eat anything. Right now, I'm trying to just stay reasonable for a while without going off the deep end either way. (For instance, I hit Einstein Bagels this morning for coffee and a powerbagel with PB. Could have been a lot worse.)

I went from a 29 to a 28. Mine is an Anderson Techzilla, I used a Miken, which is a great bat. But the balance was way different. It felt about 5 oz lighter.

Double D · 04-20-2007, 06:20 PM

Yeah the Miken's crush the Techzilla in my opinion. Those Mikens used to go for around 400bucks! The Techzilla isnt even composite is it?

I dont know how I missed your post?

Pylon · 04-20-2007, 08:25 PM

No, not a composite.

The Miken is great, and I got good distance with it, but the balance difference really threw me off. I got under the ball both times I used it.

I decided to push off the LASIK until after the season (for a lot of reasons), so I might use some of that money and pick up a new bat this weekend. I've heard good things about the new Mutant bat...

Which post was that?

Double D · 04-20-2007, 08:26 PM

My brother just bought 3 Worth Mutants.

1 ASA
2 Utrip

Sweet lookin bats!

Pylon · 04-20-2007, 08:28 PM

Any idea what he paid? And has he used them yet?

Double D · 04-20-2007, 08:30 PM

Hum.....I think maybe 250 or less. He gets alot of awesome deals on softballfans.com. He sold a 2 or 3 synergy's and something else and now has bought these 3.
