re: Anyone here live/d in Madison, MS?

Posted by ball1428 on 8/1/17 at 11:14 am

I live in Lake Caroline. I've lived in Louisiana and a couple other places. Madison is the best quality of life my family has ever had. You can't always go by the school rankings you read because their are several schools in those rankings that are CLEARLY not as good as some they are ahead of. Germ...

Find a Hustler dealer and look at the Raptor sd or sdx. Only difference is one comes with a Kohler and one a kawasaki. Its a tweener with residential and commercial. Price should be around 4k and usually offer 0% for 48 months. ...

re: Rv/travel trailer question

Posted by ball1428 on 8/9/15 at 9:48 pm

Plenty of SUVs have the towing capacity to pull a decent sized travel trailer. One thing to look at though is your tires. P rated, or passenger tires, will feel much less steady and be less safe than LT tires which have stronger sidewalls. In addition to the tires, the anti sway hitch helps alot. ...

I have a Hustler Raptor 52". I would definitely recommend it. With the Raptor you might as well buy the 52 over the 42 though. There was only a $200 price difference when I bought mine...

re: i need a baseball expert for a sec regarding a balk

Posted by ball1428 on 10/4/11 at 9:01 pm

I was just about to post about the balk move we were taught in college ball. Its a little different than the one you said. Runners are generally keying off the front foot, and in most cases the heel. Your son should work on a variation of his quickest move to first. The only difference is he quickly...

re: i need a baseball expert for a sec regarding a balk

Posted by ball1428 on 10/4/11 at 8:20 pm

well it can be an advantage if the catcher is struggling for sure. Make sure your son is using a slide step, mixing up his looks, and picking off to first effectively. That should at least keep the runner a little closer...

re: i need a baseball expert for a sec regarding a balk

Posted by ball1428 on 10/4/11 at 8:12 pm

If 2nd base is unoccupied with a runner on first then an inside move (the one you are talking about) is always a balk, regardless of whether the runner goes or not. The only acceptable move is a pick to first, or to first step back off the rubber then throw to second. The move you are talking about ...

Vet Med RV lot

Posted by ball1428 on 8/8/11 at 3:03 pm

This is our first year getting an RV pass and I was hoping to get a little info. Are there hookups for a 5th wheel RV or is it strictly generators? Also, if its strictly generators does everyone actually use the exhaust extensions or do they not really worry about it. Thanks in advance for any info....

Coat large tortillas lightly with olive oil on both sides. add veggie/pesto mix and strips of chicken to one sid...

Actually baseball in general is about the only sport NAIA can compete with D1. LSUS beat ULM several years ago by like 20 runs. Dallas Baptist was NAIA and has moved up, pretty competitive. Not all NAIA teams could compete, but the top ones could. Key word is compete though, not win championships....
