12U Preseason Fan Rankings

[1st to 3rd]

1st to 3rd: Believe me when I say, I seriously doubt your ability to excite me. In fact, I am repulsed by people like you.

Re-read what you said one more time... Can they frame, block, etc... If you are such a student of the game and you have seen these girls play, you should know that they can. 100% of the time? No! But no one does - no one, so please, don't try to change the tone of your post to make you sound like the good guy!

BTW - I am clearly not the only person who read what you wrote and saw some ugly in it...maybe it isn't me, maybe it is you.

You clearly read what you wanted to read (kinda like hearing what you want to hear instead of whats actually being said) and took it defensively. If you knew who I was you would quickly realize that I would never belittle a young lady! Taking a little jab at there parents, now that's a different story! Its to easy to get you all fired up not not to. Must be another Garcia parent thats not happy with the #2 rank. Sorry!

well I am only reading the last few posts, so if my initial impression is incorrect, I apologize.
But.....as a completely unbiased observer, it sure seems like you all are gettting pretty fired up and starting to get nasty.
I see a bunch of parents of 12 year old kids critiquing them like they are the next group of NFL draftees.

anyways, thats what I get for venturing into a post out of my area and out of my league. I will crawl back under my socal rock...

Nope! Not a parent from that team. Perhaps, if you are such a great guy, you should take a minute and reflect on how what you write and say about the girls will be perceived by people reading. Your initial ranking is NOT what drew my attention, it was your follow up comment to knee-saver about how their catchers lacked anything beyond a strong arm.

BTW - my kid's team isn't even ranked on your list (rightfully so).

Dude what do you want me to say? You are little man that clearly likes calling women names and letting people know the shortcomings of their teams and daughters. You took this to a personal level for no reason. I questioned the fact that you talked crap about my husband who never said his child was the best . We didn't go to any other team because our daughter and family are happy. Clearly you have never spoke to my husband or myself cause you would know we don't refer to our own daughter as a "stud". The lack of self respect and control you just display speaks volumes. You just went off on every person that agreed and disagreed with you. Teams being ranked no big deal. Saying teams have good players no big deal. But when you state #1 or stud it changes everything. Like I said on our team its not like that. Its really not. Maybe you have never experienced being on a "team". Maybe you've never watched teams like the Heat and Stone and be happy with their improvements because you know the kids. Maybe you can't look past what you want to see. I will wear the Psycho Mom badge with pride. But you 1st and 3rd should not feel any pride right now. You let your anger and ego get the best of you.

Hello 1st to 3rd. In no may was trying to be puffy chested. In saying that I was the big guy, that's what I meant. Meaning not little. If I was being puffy chested I would of said something along lines of the bada$$ with the mizuno hat. But whatever now. Now you have talked about my kid and my wife. I know who you are. Now that you have referred to me as your bud I feel like we are friends. I don't take lightly to the comments you made in this forum. Im sure what you said was in the heat of the moment and in your right mine you would never disrespect someones wife. Don't take this as a threat but more of an opportunity to apologize for your lapse in judgment. So feel free to post an apology to my wife for being rude. Then it's all good bud.

Very nice that a H&W have each other's backs, but I doubt Mr. I will be as appreciative of it.

One thing I've learned in my time on the Bucket is that the topics and comments tend to repeat themselves, season after season. The teams and players change, but the issues remain the same.

So it is with this topic. De ja vu all over again.

The irony of the this thread (and the many others I have seen just like it) is that the people who are crying the loudest about trashing little kids on the bucket are guilty of doing the same thing to other people's kids/teams in their previous (or future) posts.

Not butt hurt at all, I don't take anything away from any player. I never even mentioned any other players. You don't even know me. Never thought my kid was the best. Someone with such softball knowledge and such knowledge about catching I thought could lend a helping hand in the development of my kid. I told him to come over and tell what he see's. This has nothing to with rankings, I agree with the rankings. It has nothing to with the team.
