12U Bracketologist Ranking - Pre ASA Nationals Updated Poll

[sofbal1234]

Sorry OTJ, but I honestly think this cracker jack, new comer "glasshalfempty" is hittin the crack pipe too for saying CA98 had no business winning the TCS coastal classic... As Bon qui qui would say "RUDE" =-) Watch out for CA98 is all I have to say about that PEACE OUT.

The first year 12u team that took 2nd at Western Nationals will beat Team Flawless! Did flawless recruit some stud pitcher from out of state? I hope so because there are a lot of strong teams 3-20 that have no fear of them and will make it very interesting at States.

Western Nationals? C'mon Wendy, I thought you were smarter than that!

Your right, any team attending westerns shouldn't even be considered in a top 10 poll.

One great thing that can be said that both teams have is 5th Place trophies from nationals.

FC98 might knock off Team Flawless, but FC98 has more flaws! As for 3-20, they might knock off Team Flawless and its great that none of those teams fear them, but I doubt it. I sincerely hope one of those teams does. I'm like a see-saw here, because it is those upsets that we live for. Seeing a team like Top Team 99 beat the #3 team. Seeing CA98 win a tournament they had no business winning. This is what makes softball so great. It's watching the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. It is all the drama!

sofbal1234,

I like the confidence. CA 98 wins one tourney and I get the feeling they're on the verge of building a dynasty. More importantly, you weren't co-champs and have to share the title with 24 teams.

Good luck the rest of the season, lots of heat on the 98 class and we need another contender to step up or we're going to get smacked at Nationals as a State.

One more thing, you have to love little Marty as the 3rd base coach.

Did he call me a "cracker on crack?" Come on people, we have a hard enough time dispelling the myth that all are girls will become gay gym teachers one day and that all the parents out there are "white trash!" Now I'm being called "white trash" on drugs, I'm offended! As for CA98, so I'm not sold yet. They beat a clearly overrated Punishers team and the Firecrackers 99 (only win I'm really impressed with). They clearly belong in the top ten, but to put them in the top two conversation is premature.

Closer you are a class act....all you do is talk smack about other teams and how they play. Why dont you ever mention VICTORY in your conversations....is it because your daughter is 16th on the roster and you might get bumped to 17th when they pick up another player....relax it is just a game for KIDS..

Let me see....TOYS FOR TOTS....Victory walks away from tourney after a few drops of sprinkles but the other two games finished...what happened...afraid to play two more game to win it...FIRECRACKERS AND USA BOTH COMPLETED THEIR GAMES AND WERE WAITING...

How is it whenever someone doesnt do well in a friendly or a tourney you and your brother HALF EMPTY talk all kinds of smack about 11 and 12 year old girls. Does it make you guys feel good that you can belittle girls that are trying to do their best, does it make you feel it good inside...Let me guess you were always the last one to get picked for a team on the playground.....this is your way of getting back at the real athletes...GOOD JOB BIG GUY.

Wonder if your manager (MARK) would approve of your smack talk to little girls. I am sure your daughter would be cut off of the team in a heart beat....THAT WOULD BE ONE LESS PRACTICE PLAYER...

So go back to playing your FLUTE and stay away from the fields before you get hurt.....Alot of faul balls get hit and you might get some sense knocked into you...

CLOSER FOR LIFE !!!!

GLASSHALFEMPTY...

Another worthles piece of garbage that has no class or respect for the game. How can you go on here and talk about girls. You are no better then the FAMOUS CLOSER...you need to get a clue and shut the hell up before things get out of control...

REMEBER WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND...

THINK TWICE COMPUTERS ARE AN EASY WAY TO FIND OUT WHO IS BEHIND THE NAME...IP ADDRESS ANYONE??

TBaller, we're over 18K views on this thread and it's not because you're posting for an outfielder that can run like a deer or a catcher that must be able to catch speed and movement. Welcome to the dark side!

Keep it going kids! Heybucket needs views to pay for its bills.

As a newcomer to the Bucket, I must admit that I am both amused and aghast at the biting comments exchanged between the combatants, but like any serious car accident, I am compelled not to turn away.

If I might redirect the attention momentarily to the flelds once again, yes, it appears clear that Victory USA and FC98 are the toast of the 12u Division. They are complete teams and most of us wish our daughters played for them. Yes, Punishers lost to TT99 and CA98 at OC Classic, but they remain a good team. They underestimated TT99 in opener of pool play and paid the price. TT99 is a stronger 99 team than people gave them credit for and will continue to improve. While CA98 also beat Punishers in Quarterfinals, Punisher pitchers were wild early, CA98 hit well and Punishers were forced to play from behind and never caught up; but they do have several very good pitchers and a solid team otherwise and remain a top 10, if not top 5 team. Team Rawlings and USA Athletics were likely ranked too high, will regroup and bounce back. BB98 and So Cal Breakers, both with strong pitching, will likely slide into the top 5 spots. As for Strike Force and Double Play, they appear to be reloading. FC 99 will be just fine and are still the class of the 99's. Lot's of talk about CA98 jumping into the top 10 with their victory in OC Classic. Possibly, but they are do not belong in the discussion with the top 5 teams, as they are still a pitcher or two from competing day in and day out with that group. As for the other possible teams to crack the top 10 in the next poll, while certainly not dark horses, San Diego Azrtecs and Mizuno Pride are knocking.

OK, back to that car accident.

Man Ohh Man I miss 12u.
14u is so boring. Closer / Halfglassempty can you please come on over to 14u and start a little beef with someone? I think Hotwheels & Artomatic are up for a duel. Just playing but love you guys keep up the great work on the HeyBucket or as I like to call since you two started The HATE BUCKET :o . LOl

CLOSER...I APOLOGIZE FOR TALKING ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER....I should have never ever stooped to your level, but I felt it was the only way you would understand. I apologize to your daughter.

Glasshalfempty - You seem to know what your talking about half of the time. I did enjoy your comments on your first post. Alot of what you said was true but then you rag on the girls....not sure why a GROWN ADULT would do that. Anyways Karma is a ...... and it will come back to get you in the end.

FOR ALL OF THE TEAMS OUT THERE...DONT LET THESE CLOWNS GET YOU DOWN AND KEEP WORKING HARD. I AM SURE IT WILL PAY OFF SOON...

CLOSER FOR LIFE...
