This weekend in DFW

[Joe]

Joe, if you want to consider this me taking another azz whuppin, go ahead, as Robert Barisford Brown would say, it's your prerogative.

No, no...it's okay. I'll let you win this one...

Also, ask yourself this, why are not most of those teams listed above not signing up for the tournaments I am playing? Is it because they are afraid to compete against us or is it something else?

Arrogance is bliss...

[HUH???]

If this is your way of apologizing, then I except that. It takes a big man to retract hateful statements like that.

The Ladycats are not my team. Like mentioned numerous times. I have a buddy whose DD plays for Elite. My Ladycats knowledge is only limted and based on his information (opinion) and the Ladycats history. I don't even have a DD in the 14U age bracket.
My DD is an "89 (Baylor.....WOOP.....Academics, not athletics) and a "93.

For The record:
The Ladycats also beat TX Glory-Adkins (3 times in Flower Mound. 7-3 / 2-1 / 6-5) who is listed as being in Garland.
The Ladycats vs. Fusion game in G.P. last fall was not a pool game, it was a 3rd round Bracket game.
If what you say is true about the Ladycats playing "A" ball for only a year, then I would say they have done well enough for the praise they are getting. Beating teams that have been together for 3 years like Glory-Adkins.
BEST in DFW.....NO!
ELITE TEAM.....NO!
Worthy of a nod.....YES!

I agree...I do not have a DD on their team or in their org, but anytime they play I do check to see who they are playing against, because they have been able to build a solid team fairly quickly. If I recall correctly it was early last fall when they started posting about their new coaching staff and their experience (correct me if i'm wrong) and i've noticed that for the most part they've been putting their money where their mouth is.

Also when this thread was started wasn't it for predictions and not chest bumping? can we get back to predictions minus the hurt butts?

Sounds like a reasonable request...

But when someone refers to a group of 13-14 year olds playing softball as a "cesspool of talent" in Keller or anywhere else, count me in as one who will bite their ass hard. Write it down!

Can we just get back to all of the 10U chest bumping about how there daughters play on the best teams ever assembled, how the they are all going to win the all the National Championships! Especially the 10U pitchers that are throwing 5 Quality pitches and fastballs in the mid 50's. Shoot, I am even ready to here how Mizunio/Rampage, what ever they are this week walks on water, and they are the best 10U team know to mankind! Geez you 14U parents are starting to sound like the 10U parents.

Huh I must admit I dont understand your obsession with the Cats if they are not your team as you claim. Especially if they are not even in your demographic. While I must accept you at your word, you raise a tremendous amount of eyebrows with your unyielding defense of this team. Furthermore you make proclamations as to the financial stability of certain teams. If I am not mistaken I believe the Cats are fully funded, right?

Anyway back to my point, despite no affiliation whatsoever with this team, you have once again come to their defense with your "For the record." Fine, but for the record, I stated before that I dont consider Glory Adkins a true A team. For the record, the Fusion team you speak of they played was Fusion Rhodes and not Fusion Routon. Believe me there is a big difference b/t the two and the Rhodes team is not a true A team. For the record this Glory Adkins team has not been around for 3 years. This is a mixture of girls from a couple of different teams in the area that just came together last Fall. Again, I find it completely incredulous you would know so much about these teams and this age group, and furthermore, even care enough to post about this situation, if you did not have a personal stake in the matter. For the record, I do believe this Cats team has been around for a while (going on 2 years now) and they have had repeated posts on VTD soliciting players for try-outs. And as stated before, for the record I do believe this team is a good to great team, but I have never really seen them play because for whatever reason, they are not in the same places we are playing.

Someone obviously pissed in Diamonds Cherrios this morning!!

[HUH???]

I merely defended the cats b/c that is who was being predicted to be at the top of pool "A" by more than one posting person. If Batbusters were being predicted by the majority, I would have looked at the history of Batbusters and done the same analysis.

I also stated that some teams are not financially strapped, only as a rebuttle to the statement that people are playing in Garland because it was less than $200 and by your opinion you think it to be absurd to pay $400+ to play in Keller. I understand you made your comment just to help your argument. That's fine. I have know idea if the cats are funded or not. I bet you could find out if you really wanted to know. If they are funded, great. If they are not and do fund raisers, great. If they are not, and the parents pay 100% of the cost, great. IDC. What difference does that make anyway? TX Fusion does fundraisers at TMS raceway! Does that really matter to the argument you are making?

What team does your DD play for that everyone seems to be avoiding your team?
Like mentioned before: Maybe you are located in the Dallas area or like to play only ASA!
That's fine if you are, but don't flatter yourself to think that every team that does not sign up and play where your DD's team is playing means they are avoiding your DD's team.

Once again: Bring up another team name that you PREDICT will win Pool "A" (you know....what this thread is REALLY about) and I will use my magic to give you their history based on what I read!

[HUH???]
