Well I think with the gear you have that is pretty good.

You may find one in fiftyish is REALLY sharp it is just pot luck really.

Flash would improve things further - it effectively becomes your shutter and maybe around 1/10000 sec, even at full power they flash at 1/1000 sec.

With no flash it is best to shoot on really sunny days and get your shutter speed as high as possible whilst keeping your aperture at f8 or f11

With flash it is better on cloudy days - the flash can become the major source of light and fire for maybe 1/10,000 sec duration. A lot easier to freeze the action.

I am surprised photobucket is working - others have had problems. They may well down sample your images for uploading and hence the quality may look worse. Flickr is much better for storing pics, you can upload jpegs at full resolution.
