DD Being Forced to Change her Number, might leave team!

It can't die, not with gems like this one sprinkled throughout:

This is a strong argument for ASA to adopt a policy stipulating that all pitchers MUST be orphans.

Talk about grinding the economy to a halt! With all this reading to do, how is anybody going to get any work done today?

So its not Obama's fault, but HeyBucket's?

How many pages do I have to read before someone explains the importance of the pole barn?

I really figured this entire post was a total scam and by now would have ended up on snopes.com or in a Letters from a Nut book by Ted L Nancy...

The Pole Barn thread. Feels like coming home ::sniff::

[hotwheels]

All is good and well, except, one of the players being folded in has the same uniform number as my DD. We point this out to the coach right away and inform him DD has already expressed concern over this and does not want to change her number.

My DD is the first string pitcher on her team.

Tonight, at a parent meeting we are told that the player folded into our team, well, her family has been with the organization for years, her parents own a pole barn, therefore, pretty much, since she doesn't want to change her number, they are going to stand loyal to her and not make her.

My daughter is in tears.

The organization did offer to buy her a pair of sweats and hoodie to sweeten the deal with her new number. I thought that was a pretty nice offer and tried to sway her to think of another really cool number, but that proved futile.

I told my daughter that I wouldn't make her pitch under a number she didn't want, but that her only other recourse would be to change teams.

She is torn and crying. I don't blame her. And frankly I'm a little put off that she's being asked to begin with.

The other young lady plays outfield. My daughter is a good pitcher, 13, throws 55 mph, can throw 6 different pitches, and is known for her accuracy.

My favorite part is the last section..."Known for her accuracy"... By who? By what? And the other young lady is...OF ALL THINGS a SUCK A_ _ outfielder...

Before I go back to reading...is this the one with the pole barn? or should that one be resurrected as well?

Resurrected ? As in Barn Again ?
