12U Bracketologist Ranking - Pre ASA Nationals Updated Poll

[socal98pops]

You are correct.. the Sun Devils are NOT an impressive team... yet they beat you twice in a row.

I know... I know... you werent using Ray Ray hence you lost.....

Pops, if it will help you with your therapy, and allow you to go home to your pole barn after a long day of begging and be able to sleep at night, go ahead and rearrange the teams on the poll as you see fit. The teams are in their respective spots on this poll because that was the consensus of the coaches, who have played each of these teams. Obviously, your team did not impress any of the coaches, while others did.

Alright! We have an honest begger! I knew you were spotted outside of BLD pops.

It is individuals like SoCalPops98 or SunDevilsPops98 that give teams bad names!!!
Instead of being gracious with a fine victory over a top team like the Punishers, this scum trashes 11-12 year old players who are giving 100%.

The Punishers didn't rank themselves where they are, the coaches in the 12 u division put them there based on their play against them. Your Sun Devils team also has young girls out there who had a great win and you are taking that away from them with all of your ignorant and thoughtless comments. I am surprised your Sun Devils coach allows you to post such garbage.

What once appeared to be a classy Sun Devils team is now smeared in the mud and you have put a large "X" on your teams back!

Sorry, Sun Devils......I know you played well at TCS Tourny, but it is lost in Socalpops98 trash talking.

[SunDevils]

It truly is a shame when someone can come in and portray themselves as a parent of a team when all the while they're nothing but an immature imposter that gets their kicks bashing the Sun Devils and the Punishers at the same time.

The truth is we had a great weekend of softball which is all we ever want. Congratulations to Nemesis for winning the tournament and to SoCal98 Hurricanes for taking 2nd.

To set the record straight, we've had the chance to play the Punishers twice. Both games were outstanding, well played battles till the end that could've gone either way. During these games we've gotten to know the Punishers coaches and parents. They run a class organization from the top down. They have an exceptional team and they've been nothing less than gracious both times we played. We've enjoyed the great competition with them and look forward to competing with them in the future. We are striving to be considered a class organization that plays the game the right way just as the Punishers and other top organizations do.

It's for this reason I'm posting on Hey Bucket now even though it's not our thing. We've worked too hard to let some loser pretend they're a Sun Devil.

Re: TCS - Cathedral City - Punishers
Alright folks if you stop and think about, who has anything to gain from all this trash talking, you will get at who the pretend Sun Devil fan is, or at least where its source/team it is coming from.

Whoever started this thread/post apparently knows Punishers well, or well enough to stir the pot. They obviously had to of been at the game, to have such details on the play by play action. This team had to still be playing in the tournament to have an interest in the outcome. Oh by the way, who beat the Sun Devils or who beat the team that beat the Sun Devils? If you read over all the comments regarding this game, which is the team that seems to come out looking better than Punishers and Sun Devils? Could it be the team that beat the team that beat the Sun Devils? Who apparently have a problem with Punishers ranking? Just ask Luther, he should know, he was the first one that was ready to comment on Socal98pop's comment.

On another thought, If you recall or check on last week's posting on scoreboard Board: he (Luther) was wondering what the outcome was for the Victory vs Punishers game that was never played. Who has this kind of vested interest in the Punishers? I wonder who's team do they Luther/socal98pop represent? or is it one in the same? I am just saying.

Oh and by the way congrats Nemesis on winning the tournament. Give props where pop's is due.

I have a problem when I read, I tend to read in between the lines. Can anyone clear up my reading comprehension? Just my toughts

[Luther]

??????? Seriously ???????

Please keep me out of your accusations.

You are correct; I posted asking about the Victory/Punishers game last weekend because they are two top ranked teams that would have played an AWESOME game.

I have nothing but respect for the Punishers team and players.

My DD has had the opportunity to play against them and I think they have solid players as well as excellent coaches. This is one team that deserves to be ranked high on the list.

I have no issues with the Punishers and would love for my DD to play for them.

Please keep me out of your accusations as it would be unfair for to get chastised for something that is untrue.

quit jackin up bracky's thread. how about cut and pasting this bullsh!t into a new thread called "whiney 12U parents"?

bunch of people with less then 20 posts talking sh!t..

[sofbal1234]

A few weeks ago when the coaches/brackey poll came out I posted that I felt the Punishers were ranked "WAY TOO HIGH" (IMO) at tied for 3rd and I caught a lot of flack from Punisher parents trying to defend their lil DD's team although I felt they still deserved to be 8, 9 or 10 in the ranking... When I started reading this post I knew some of the parents were going to be responding with ANGRY replies once again I wasn't expecting to read that they would suffer a loss to such a poorly ranked team so soon after they were "OVER RATED" in the poll (IMO)!? I know, I know, they won a couple of tourney's prior to or after the last poll came out and "supposedly" deserved the ranking. If you look at the competition they were up against it was mediocre at best (IMO). I'm not trying to KNOCK any of the hard playing girls on the team whatsoever! I just feel as a "TEAM" they were ranked WAY TOO HIGH!!! I guess what i'm trying to say is, "I TOLD YOU SO!" Let's see if they can redeam themselves and remain in the top 10 at least?

I saw the Lady Lasers signed up for 12U. I remember they were a quality team a few years ago losing a tight game to TPS 98, the favorite that was going to steamroll the competition a few years back . They had one dominant pitcher that I thought was arguably the best pitcher at Nationals 2 years ago in Johnson City, TN.

Too bad for them they won't get to size themselves against the top team in the nation in 12U, Firecrackers 98.
