Get that man a singlet!

Beeks, Al, and I will be there.

Jimbo, I ran on the bug line when I first started running. It was definitely easier on my shins. I got shin splints early on, but after taking a little time off they never came back again. I live a little too far away to run there every time. I still try to get there on weekends though. It looks like I might have to force myself to get back there on weekdays though. Thanks for the tip. Baldkin, thanks for the advice. I'll read up on that program and definitely focus on my form. I'm going to take it very slow this time.

I'm in. Beeks is in. Al is in.

Thanks a lot for the advice. After seeing that video, I would definitely agree my running form is poor. I think my form gets lazy once my legs start getting tired and I land on the heel first. I'm sure it didn't help that last year I had a little over a month to do a 5k so I was doing 2-3 miles right away and was at 5 miles within two weeks. This year I started at 2-3 miles right away and that's when everything started to get real bad. I should have read up or asked around sooner. As stupid as it sounds, I had no idea running would cause serious injuries so easily. I think I'll rest for another 2 weeks and see how everything feels before running again and maybe start by doing a mile only at a time to start. Does that sound reasonable? Should I do less to start? I think I'll also find some grass or dirt to run on and work on form. As far as the pain in my shins, I would describe it as going up the whole shin. The muscle that runs across the outside of the shin gets sore and shortly after it starts feeling numb and my calves get extremely tight. The pain goes away shortly after I run, but they are still sore for the rest of the night. As for the knee pain, I can't really tell where it hurts exactly. My knee feels a little tight but it usually feels fine after a light warm up and some stretching. When it first started hurting, I could barely walk up stairs. I think this will be my last time starting from nothing and going out on the first warm day for a 3 mile run. I was a little too eager to shed some of the winter weight I put on. Thanks again for all the advice.

I'm pretty sure the ump lost his concentration a couple of times too.

I'll be there. So will Beeks and Al.

I get terrible shin splints every time I run. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? It's far worse while running on a sidewalk or hard surface, but right now that's pretty much my only option. I went to a running shoe store and they watched me run on a treadmill and gave me shoes based off that. I noticed a little bit of a difference with the shoes, but then my hip down to my knee started hurting and the shin splints still come but usually at the mile and a half mark rather than the mile. I have taken long breaks from running and the pain doesn't go away. I've read a lot of stuff online and nothing has helped. If I keep running through it, will the shin pain eventually go away or am I just going to keep hurting myself worse? I haven't ran in about two weeks and my hip/knee pain is finally going away, but it hurt so bad that I'm scared to run again.

I'm in. Beeks and Al as well.

Beeks will be hosting Griffey night/BF.net team social gathering on Saturday May 26th. He lives on Prospect and Kane on the east side. I don't know what time works best for everyone, but I'm sure we can determine that after our game Thursday. I just wanted to post this now to give everyone a heads up so it's not completely last minute.

Update: Al will be on his way home tomorrow morning, so he won't make it this week. He'll be there next week. -

I haven't heard back from Al. I am assuming he won't be back in time for the game. Unless something changed, he should be back for our next game. -

Beeks and I will be there. I'll let you know about Al tomorrow or Wednesday. -
Al is out this week. He should be back next week.
-
Beeks and I are in. I'll let you know about Al as soon as I find out.
-
Late afternoon is better for me, but I could probably make it earlier if needed.
-
If we do end up practicing, call or send me a text. I won't be able to check back here for the rest of the day. Beeks should be able to practice too.
-
I could make later Saturday afternoon or any time Sunday if that becomes an option.
-
Anyone up for a Sunday practice? Valpo, what time mid afternoon would give you a chance to make it?
-
Beeks wants #2 M Al wants #6 L
-
#8 Large

I'm not an expert, but I think a lot of composite bats start out at or near the limit. When they get broken in, a lot of them exceed the limits set by ASA.

In memory of the greatest bat Sijan has ever seen...
-
We are switching to 300lb compression balls from 375lb balls last year. They aren't banning any additional bats, they are just doing compression testing on all of them. Most good composites will probably fail if they have been used enough because they will exceed the limit. I don't know for sure though so maybe I am overreacting, and the new ball and bat testing won't make a big difference. I just hate the idea of having an expensive bat go to waste. We play in a mens league.

No, they are some generic knockoff of Nerf.
