Don't know if this is the one you're talking about, but it's at Amazon for $15.56 with free amazon prime shipping. I got my copy a couple of months ago and they were just over $12, so the price may go down. http://www.amazon.co...ref=oss_product

I didn't complain about it here but I'll give what happened to me as a example. I placed a order and all but 2 pairs of pants were out of stock according to the email notice (and I received a refund for all but the 2pr of pants). When I received my shipment there were only one pair of pants and they were not the size I had ordered. I contacted Ralph and he sent me a label to ship them back (a non pickup label so i had to take the package to UPS, but I didn't really think that was a big deal). He received the pants he had incorrectly shipped to me back and he tells me he is out of stock in the size I had ordered and that he will refund me for the pants that were not shipped and the wrong size pants that were shipped. This means I did not get anything at all from that order. I asked about having the shipping charges refunded since I did not receive anything I ordered (except for the wrong size he sent by mistake). They refused. My only other option would be to chargeback, but it's more trouble than it's worth. Not a real big deal, but I ended up paying $9.99 and I didn't get anything I ordered, plus I had to take time out to bring a package to the UPS store. I'm just guessing, but there's probably a few other guys out there that ended up being less than satisfied. I chalked it up to just being a part of the numbers game...he just got overloaded.

Awesome! Thanks for the info Chris.

That may be a factor. Here are a couple of pictures, one with the plate laced "lower" on the shoe, and the other with the plate laced "higher" (the way I have always worn it). Left is with the laces pulling the plate higher up, and right is with the laces lower so the plate sits lower.

R3 may have been called out using 7.08(a): "Runner believing he is called out on a tag at first or third base starts for the dugout and progresses a reasonable distance still indicating by his actions that he is out, shall be declared out for abandoning the bases." (comment). Not saying I agree or disagree with the call, but that may have been the reason he called R3 out.

Jeff, yes I was using the older version. I ended up giving it to a younger guy in our association. I bought a Douglas a while back to use (in PONY/Colt and HS) when my WV Gold may not be needed.

If you really want a list of PAC-10 umpires then just pull up the boxscores of weekend conference series, the umpires are listed. It's rare (even for small colleges) for the boxscore not to list the umpires. I know the JuCo and NAIA schools around here list the umpires in the boxscores on their website or the conference's site.

773.714.6847, Contact Scott Weber (scott.weber@wilson.com). You can email him a copy of your invoice and picture(s) of the problem. I had a small crack at the top of the helmet where the cage is attached. I sent the pics and he overnighted a brand new titanium 2.0 shockfx to me. My original was the first fx Ti model (shorter chin). I can't say enough about Wilson's customer service. You can also contact consumerrelations@wilson.com if you can't get in touch with Scott.

Here's the "cool base" zip-off sleeve jacket for $34.95 (black/silver do look nice): http://www.softballsavings.com/customer/category/product.jsp/SUBCATEGORY_ID/6013/searchWords/cool+base $33.32 here: http://www.esportsonline.com/?sitemid=1262636&websrc=froogle_1262636

Order number 7229 for me. I got a email 5 days ago letting me know the ultimate belt, long sleeve CK black shirt, two ball bags, and information wallet were out of stock and I was refunded the price for those. That only left 1 pair of smitty charcoal plate pants (sz 34) and one pair of smitty charcoal base pants (sz 34) that I was charged for and he indicated those would ship. Well I got my package today and the only thing in it was one pair of charcoal smitty base pants (sz 36!). So I am in the process of contacting him to get a refund on the pair he didn't send and find out why I got a sz 36 in the pair he did send. For me, I think it was more trouble than it was worth.

Just wondering? 1. can you challenge obstruction (I don't think so) 2. why would they challenge even if they could? they scored the run, you can't give them anything better than that (award a extra run as a penalty?). IMO, I have no obs

Add another member to the public on that list...me. I thought it was a good strike call, and looking at the side angle only affirms that for me.

+1 Together it all seemed well below "great", IMO.

I can't say for sure that his back foot is entirely out of the box. As for his front foot, it looks to me that it's off the ground when he hits the ball. 6.06 A Batter is out for illegal action when- (a) He hits a ball with one or both feet on the ground entirely outside the batter's box...
