Triple Crummy Big League Nightmare

[ontheblack]

Dont forget the abyss in front of the pitching rubber on field #1. After last week there really was no excuse for Triple Crown to have made the HS fields playable and safe for the girls this week.

Still, there was some great ball played this weekend and it was fun to watch.

Dang it! I knew I should have paid better attention to Arto. All kidding aside, my team ( parents, coaches,& Kids) feels ripped off by this whole thing. I guess next time we just find a field in East L.A. and play there. At least we can park our RV's overnight!

To my understanding the PS Coach didn't want to play due to limited time. If they really wanted to play the championship game, why didn't they move the championship to the high school fields. Sounds like the PS coach/team had enough softball for the day.

After reading this I hope my DD's teams never sign up to go to a tournament @ BLD. On a positive note the 10U girl from our local team that got hit with a line drive in the face is doing well as of today.

Sounds to me like you don't know what your talking about (typical of some of the HB posters). Even though a 45 min. game was not very appealing, the main reason for the decision not to play was that the PS coach saw that the only pitcher the Firecrackers had was barely able to hold her arm up, was in actual pain, and he was not going to risk injuring a 13 yr. old for a chance of being the sole champion. Co-champions at that point was fine.

If PS 96 still has the same group of coaches they had last year that sounds about right!...Those coaches were a class act back then and it sounds like they still are..Finally, somebody putting the kids first over the all important medal! Congrats to them for making that call!...

The PS coaches have been around the block a couple..........hundred times

I don't think they would lose any sleep not playing a final game at a TCS tourney, in fact they probably got more sleep because they got home early.

Congrats to both teams.


Imperial SB dad.. don't let this turn you away your DD will love playing at BLD, just bring a bunch of money

[Scoop n K]

NU is right. The BLD dreams thing is great. Hope your kid gets a chance to enjoy it. Just make sure you hold TCS , or whoever hosts, to their promise. "All Games Played At BLD" does NOT mean the same as sticking a bunch of kids out at an adjacent, VERY INFERIOR quality field. That's the issue to me. Bait and switch at it's worst ( or finest, if you are privy to the TCS bank account) Hopefully Travis and crew get the message. Next time take a couple fewer teams, and keep your commitment. I KNOW they'll NEVER turn away $$$$.

Whats so special about that place? Other parks around So Cal are better then that and cost no money to play at. Do girls really care about thoses outfield walls? Oh wait it's about the beer.
Diamond Valley is way nicer place.

Sounds like your asking for Quality not Quantity..

Scope bottom line is did you have fun watching dd play? Was it better than going to work? Was it better than staying home and doing a honey do list?

How about signing up for a Huntington Beach Surf City tourney and playing in Beaumont or San Clemente

It is to bad thinking your playing at BLD and ending up at the sand lot
