From Daddy Ball to FIRECRACKERS ? (long)

[stpatgrl17]

To Give me Diamonds and daddyballtravelball; you being one in the same are pretty pathetic. Your comments obviously come from your kid not making the final cut with DP98. Its the only reason why you would be so mean and vicious to make such comments.

First of all size doesnt matter for a ball player, manager or coach. Its all about being taught how to play the game.

Moi has always been an awesome Manager and has always been out on the field fielding balls with the girls. I give a lot of credit to the coaching stall he has.

You need to remember that the softball world is very small in the travel ball world and High Schopl world and your comments will get to the coaches your daughter goes to play for in HS next year. I can personally guarantee you that no coach is going to put up with parents like you.

Just as you have implied such malicious comments about DP98 it only take one seed to be planted about you and your daughter. I guess you really didnt think about the long term repercussions your daughter is going to have to deal with because of parents like you.

Keep doing what you are doing future Firecrackers...

..... How in the world can "Joe's hotel" (just one click above a pay by the hour place) offer free wi-fi (according to their sign..), but the high priced Hilton cannot?

Again, my apologies, I just had to get that off my chest..

Because the mom/pop-independent place is probably offering their personal ISP connection. They're already paying for it and why not share it with the guests. As for degradation of QoS (quality of service) they won't guarantee the speed and if you were to complain, it'll be fielded by...Mom and Pop.

Back in the day, Hilton used to offer Wi-Fi for free. But as the economy has tanked, they're looking towards revenue...remember free baggage with airlines? And Hilton is more conscious of your complaints if the speed is not to your expectation. They frown against negative reviews.

Our hotel internet in Colorado was $13.95/day. We only used it one day though, since most of the time we'd just use our smartphones.

I think since the Hilton and similar hotels are used predominately for business travel, and internet service is almost a no-brainer while on business, they have a fairly large revenue stream going on there. The cheaper hotels don't usually charge for parking either. Many of the larger chains, especially in the city, charge an arm and a leg. The Sheraton NYC for the TCS Championship runs $50/night for a space where your car can sleep.

Parking in NYC is at a premium- hotel probably does not have enough spots for the rooms it has. Most travelers to NYC do not bring their cars-since once in the city it is only a liability.

Tough situation with TCS since Randall's Island is somewhat off the transit grid

Triple Crown provides bus transportation for your team to and from the fields so no need for public transit.

So I would say forget the rental car- you will not need it in NYC-- rental plus parking(yikes!)

This goes for next week in Park City as well?

That works if all you're going to do is go to and from the fields, which is kind of silly if you're paying $300+ per night to be in the Big Apple. If you don't get out to see and experience the city you may as well be in Hemet!

Well considering the hotel is in downtown Manhattan and the NYC public transportation system is pretty well developed getting around should not be an issue. I don't think I would want to shlep around in a car.
JMHO

As someone who worked many years in Manhattan and have been going all my life. Forget the car.. You don't need it

Give Me Diamonds - how would you know unmistakenly bargin shoes and a $30 dollar watch? The only person to know that is a person who buys the bargin shoes and $30 watches. The irony! You look more of a fool than the woman holding the fake LV. SMH.

Well daddyballtravelball how bout you get your ass from behind the computer screen and stop making fun of peoples weight. Go to a practice and watch how he teaches them. Double Play 98 is no "daddy ball" team. there's only about 5 girls from the north torrance area, but who cares? it's obviously one kick ass area. tell me when your daughter becomes a firecracker

Your right! Their no "daddy ball" team. There’s more than one daddy coaching so that must make them a Daddy’s Ball Team.
