Coaches that are not dedicated

[Sam]

Anonymity is a double edged sword....people know who I am and what my experience is...they can guage what I am telling them. You can say anything....14U....12U....18Gold...whatever...nobody will ever know if you are telling the truth because we don't know who you are. You post about 10U stuff....but your kid plays 14U...OK.

if you are so much more informed, educated and have a wealth of knowledge and time in regarding softball than just about everybody here, TRY giving constructive critisizm and your opinion in a positive, friendly way, not in a bi-polar, angry, negative manner, quit assuming things, some people come here for advice, not to be told that they dont know what they are talking about or are full of sh!t, which is something that you are good at, TRY and help educate us less than fortunate, less educated, less experienced folks out, not put us down. I dont care how much experience you have, your attitude sucks, plain and simple. I know and have talked to some college coaches and some parents who have kids playing D-1, even a couple of folks with kids on the USA team, I have yet to be put down or have my questions answered in a negative, vile way even though they are a much bigger fish in this small pond than you are, get over yourself. yes, my DD plays 14u, yes, I made a comment, gave my opinion of a few games that I saw during toys for tots, they happened to be 10u, big deal, one of my neighbors needed a little help getting their DD to games, I never claimed to be an expert on the 10u division. I have watched several age divisions, travel and rec, I have commented on several age divisions, whats your point?

You can say you know a bunch of people...you could be telling the truth....you could be talking directly out of your arse....we'll never know. If I say I know somebody whom I don't really know...I can be called out on it. An old eteamz guy just had to come clean about one of his lies....that his DD was playing D1 ball in the Big East...a total lie. I could never try to get away with that.

The manner which I provide my input is my decision. Contrary to your post, I don't belittle or attack people who actually ask questions...looking for direction. I will treat a poster differently if they are posting to get validation that the wrong thing that they did was actually the right thing. I will also treat a poster differently when they belittle the accomplishments and efforts of their manager...a manager that they picked. If you don't like it, don't read it.

But you cannot come onto a board anonymously and expect to be respected by others who choose not to use that safety blanket. You posted negatively about a team coached by a friend of mine, which on a board like this can effect his ability to recruit players...if other posters think you know what you are talking about...you didn't...but I had to show others that you didn't have a clue about the 10U division. Mission accomplished.

If one thing is for sure, it's that no matter what opinion you post here, someone will post an oposition.

For the record... I'm against terrorism, famine and... oh yeah, clubbing baby seals.

Bring on your posts!!!!

I didnt know we were still in high school and this was a popularity contest who you know, who I know, who cares...... nobody is "trying" or expects to get respect except you, I dont come here to puff out my chest and act like a school yard or jail house bully as you do, quit arguing, like you said "dont like it, dont read it", same applies to you. It looks like you took one of my opinions personally and is the root of your bitterness towards me, yet you can run your mouth any way you like and thats ok, sorry, its a 2 way street my friend, like I said before, opinions are like a$$h*les, everybody has one, take it with a grain of salt, or take your own advice, dont like it, dont read it. I do not recall attacking one of your friends teams, maybe it was MY opinion if I had mentioned it? Who is hiding and from what? its not too hard to find out who is who on this board, as a matter of fact, a few months back when the 10u topic was hot, within a few days I had a very interesting, frightening at first, visit from one of the dads whos daughter was mentioned in that thread, it was not too cool having 3 guys from a 3 letter law enforcement agency come visit me at my work place, scary at first but he just wanted to know who I was and how I knew about his daughter, he was tipped off about this website. just shows you that you never know who is watching, you are not as anonymous as you think

I'm not anonymous at all....I'm Sam Rainwater.

Nice story...I wonder if its true....

see how quick words are screwed up nothing was ever turned over to the police, I never said that, I didnt say or do anything bad or wrong for the authorities to be notified, the father of one of the DD's who were mentioned in the 10u thread came to visit me on his own, he wanted to know who I am, he was tipped off about this site by other dads on their team, thats all, after I got my heart rate back to normal and out of my throat, we actually had a very nice conversation about softball

Here is what he posted:

"I also have to agree that the Angels have an excellent pitcher who pitched and kept the Crush off balanced the entire game. She was very commanding, had good speed with a lot of ball movement which is very rare in 10u. I know she wears number 7 but I dont know her name, but I will snoop and find out. She will be one to watch in the future. "

I had a problem with:

"Heaters, FORGETABOUTIT"

and...

"I would have to say that in the 10u division, you should eliminate the Corona Heaters, I had to watch the 10u division during the AA toys for tots tournament (neighbors had a Christmas event to attend so I was volunteered to play limo service for their kid who played in the 10u tournament) I dont think the Heaters won a game."
