So Cals Finest..We are live all day with scores- updated

Yes, thanks for remind us it is just a game. I overheard a bunch of parents yelling "crow hop!" everytime the pitcher delivered- perhaps it was intended for the umps- but they ignored the fact that a 12 year old pitcher (and their parents) was clearly hearing them too. No respect what so ever. Sad, sad, sad..

Because the US has lost it's "family" tradition, there is a lot of disrespect amongst everyone. Why would anyone think the softball fields would be any different? That is even worse with the competitive atmosphere. There will be heat. What I do? Sit in the outfield!

Championship game hour thirty ? Three and half innings. I bet Fresno went seven. Twenty time outs took the game out of the girls hands.

What a steaming pile of crap!
Why can't people just say congrats to the winner?
Sounds like your team had a great weekend.
Too bad you have to soil it with your comments.

Exactly what I said, have some respect for the girls who are actually on the field playing. A bunch of excuses like:

The Top bracket is harder. Ok then if all the (A) teams are in the top bracket what is the crying about? Play Ball, that's what you want a chance to play the best and win. Did little, small, tiny, mini, unheard of BUTLER who played DUKE in NCAA cry about their bracket when they whip everybody a%$ to get to the championship game???? I tired of reading excuses from parents on all these (A) teams with deeper talent when they lose.

The coach called 20 time outs. WOW

The snackbar food made my team sick so we lost!

Congrads to ALL THE WINNERS

diamond dad has his head so far up jbs butt he needs a snorkel. someday the reality will sink in the jb cant and wont do a damn thing to help his kid. jb is only in it for his own gain. his reputation is well known.

Just curious...
If Bomb Squad is joining the FC org. Why is JB recruiting players from K.L. FC.
Thats Chicken$h!t

The same reason SM is taking players from JM, and MS left when MT did the same thing to him, not to mention issues with MC and BM leaving for the same reasons after they won Championships too. JB taking players from KL is just a third example and we are all told the older coaches have all the say so. If so, why are THEY allowing it? Doesn’t that say more towards their character than the actual coaches? The organization is their names, they are the leaders, and they know this is a direct reflection of them. But they still do it cause they can and parents will continue to buy in. There is one thing in common about the “top organizations” and it definitely isn’t respect for the ‘organization” which is exactly why these parents are foolish to think there is respect for them. It’s business and business isn’t about respect. As long as you’re a top team, it doesn’t matter what uniform you are wearing and all of the top coaches KNOW IT but the parents are so easily led astray. False promises? No, It’s business. Do you think the Mercedes car salesman is everything that he appears to be? Hmmmmm Until you leave the car lot and realize you just been douped!!

As to your claim that I said Numerouno was not there. There was only one dad who came up to me and asked IF I WAS Numerouno, of which I responded "no". I was not asked if he was at the park although Uno was at the table where we both had been sitting all weekend. His daughter was actually at the hospital getting Xrays and Cat Scans after being hit with a bat in the face. She suffered a fairly severe concussion but had no broken bones or bleeding in her brain - Thank god.

I am glad Uno's DD is okay. Must have been very scary for him.

Heard the "crow-hop" yappers as well. U should be proud of yourselves, Showing up a 12 year old. Probably held your heads high after the "Victory"

Firecrackers scored in the 1st and 2nd innings and them BS came back and scored 3 in the top of 3 to make it 4-3 (BS actually had bases loaded in the top of 2 with no outs but did not score). The coach for the FC started using time management tactics, all within his rights as a coach, in the top of the 3rd. As soon as this started happening with the score 4-0, BS parents started attacking me with their complaints about the time limit. Would they have been complaining if BS had jumped up and got the lead first? Would they have used time management to win the game?


Shame on them...!

I do want to say that there were also several BS parents that came to my defense when the "few" dads had to have their say. Also, I did discuss this with JB after the game and he apologized for his "few" parents and said he would have a talk with them. I was not implying that all the parents were attacking me. Best of luck to both teams as they move forward.

Uno's daughter definitely could have been much worse. The funny thing, and there is really nothing funny about what happened, is after being knocked out, she came around and as Uno was walking her to the booth, Hailey made the comment that Uno should take a look at the girl who hit her cuz she can really swing the bat. What a great kid

I also want to extend best wishes to Mark Campbell's daughter who was struck in the head
by a hard thrown ball during the 12U final. She lost it in the sun and, fortunately, turned her head in time so the ball struck the back of her head and not in the face. Hope she is ok!!
