Predictions for TCS Big League Dreams-Cathedral City

[huskies7]

Great job TNL Gold!!

[Stan the Caddy]

I predict that there will be some pissed off parents when they find out their team paid an extra $55 to play at BLD (plus the gate entry fee, plus the overpriced Gatorade because you can't bring your own) and they end up on Pawtucket and DesMoines.

BTW-So Cal Breakers-Imoto

Damn, missed it by one!

Stan, we just ran out of gas. First game was at 8:00 and finished Championship game at 10:00 14 hours at the field is way to long. Agian Punishers are a very good team. Played them twice tied them 1-1 in pool play. Championship game was a good game till last inning .

TNL Gold brought in a great #1 pitcher for the weekend from their 14U team. Is that typical? What kind of message does that send to your existing pitchers?

As long as she is a 97 birthday who cares?...I agree that it may send a mixed message but Jerry will have those girls working hard and ready...New team trying to find themselves...We played them at Vegas a few weeks back and you can already tell the difference in a few weeks that he's had with those kids...With all the negatives surrounding that organization it was good to see them getting back to softball again...

She's a 97, she had been sick and couldn't play in the Huntington Beach tournament, so
I asked her if she wanted to play this past weekend since our 14's were off, She pitched 2 innings in pool play(and as matter of fact we were winning 3-0 when she came in and she gave up 4 runs,
we scored 2 in the last inning to win 5-4). In bracket play she pitched our 3rd game only and she
struggled a bit with her control and we took her out after 4 innings. Nothing illegal going on here.

That pitcher is a 97, a stud player who leaves it all on the field, a great kid and an unselfish team leader with no ego. I doubt that there was a single player or parent on the team who was not thrilled to have her for the weekend. The message was only positive - aspire to be her and the role model she is.

FTR, I have no kids on that team, but know a few of them. Glad to see TNL coming back strong. The girls deserve it.

Easy on the caffiene, big guy...
Jerry took care of the response without making it sound like she is Mother Theresa....

Oh, and by the way, I think TNL is steering clear of adults that don't have kids on the team...

I wrote my response while Jerry was writing his.

DD plays on another team but is friends with a few of the girls.
