Punishers '98 break-up

[scout team]

I agree that Breakers Sieber was a good team and earned their way to Nationals. Unfortunately, Breakers Sieber disbanded after Nats. As of now, Breakers Williams will be the only 14U. Some players will stay with Williams, a few players have left with one of the coaches to start up a "new" team, others are trying to catch on with yet other San Diego based teams and as we have heard from 1234, the Sieber Ace apparently wound up with CA98.

gonna be a long entertaining year in the lower age groups...

Usually by 14s they start to settle down a bit. This group is just getting out of the blocks and gaining steam.

I was thinking the exact same thing...Miss 1234 has all the answers to everything. I'm sure all her defenders appreciate her putting them on blast for losing in what otherwise looked like a great Nationals run. I'm sure those same defenders had nothing to do with all the other games they won.

I didn't realize this was individuals sport. Here I always thought you won & loss as a team. Classic team building posts here!!!

Not too sure about where she or any other pitchers went thus far and honestly don't really care! Not to sound mean or anything like that, of course, but I feel as if WE got the best overall pitcher in our division to help our team succeed!

1234 WATCH OUT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CHASE A BIRTH JUST LIKE THE BREAKERS DID SINCE YOU NOW HAVE THERE PITCHER

Breakers did better at Nationals than half the teams that 'qualified' at states. They qualified fair and square at an ASA Qualifer. And last I heard, softball is a team sport. It takes a team to win and lose.

Also...it's 'berth' not birth and it's 'their' not there. Just sayin...

THE ONLY REASON THEY DID BETTER AT NATIONALS THAN STATES IS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T RUN INTO AMERICAN PASTIME :o I THOUGHT THE BREAKS HAD A REALLY GOOD TEAM I JUST JUST HAVING SOME FUN WITH 1234. DO YOU KNOW IF THIS TEAM IS STAYING TOGETHER ?

As a parent of one of those infielder's, I feel perfectcly fine with the assessment I made according to their preformance in the our last game played at Nat's and i'm sure the rest of the CA98's "FAMILY" would agree and support this statement! Especially the parents of our pitcher's who had to endure the unfortunate mistakes made by the TEAM on that early Saturday morning... Although we too were still half asleep and exauhsted from the long day prior, we did empathize as we knew we were the much better team and shoulda came out victoriuos but lost as a TEAM!!!

Whether or not your statement is factual or not, is not the point. These games have happened to everyone at one point in time, but I believe you are one of the very few people who has made it a point to let everyone on Heybucket know.

Don't worry like you said I am sure plenty of people knew what happened, but now thanks to you people that didn't really care now know also. Keep us in the loop 1234, helps me pass the time while at work.

For clarity as to the Breakers, as we all know, they were upset by Am Pastime at States and did not qualify, i.e., they were not in the Top 12. They finished tied with 7 other teams for 17th place overall. They earned their berth beating USA in a very diluted post States qualifying Tourney. While they did finish ahead of USA (T-25th), Choppers Black (T-25th) and Punishers (T-33rd), and well ahead of American Pastime (T-Last) at Nationals, ironically, once again, they finshed tied with 7 other teams for 17th place overall.

Not quite sure what your point was...Obviously a team can be beat at anytime, AP beat Breakers at States. So, AP made a very long trip for 2 and a barbecue. What I think is remarkable...CA 98 got put in losers bracket (in their first bracket game!) by Breakers and finished well ahead of Breakers' 17th place ending up in 9th. Great job CA98!!

But, here is who finished behind Breakers and were from So Cal, I'd say it was worth the trip for Breakers, but I'm sure a few teams that were knocked out by them wish they hadn't gone :

25th AMERICAN ATHLETICS Mission Viejo, CA 2-2
25th USA ATHLETICS Cerritos, CA 2-2
25th SO CAL CHOPPERS 98 Valencia, CA 2-2
33rd PUNISHERS 98 Lakewood, CA 1-2
33rd CA CRUISERS Laguna Niguel, CA 3-2
33rd SUN DEVILS Bonita, CA 1-2
49th FIRECRACKERS 99 Cerritos, CA 2-2
49th SO CAL HURRICANES Laguna Niguel, CA 1-2
65th SO CAL ATHLETICS Irvine, CA 1-2
65th AMERICAN PASTIME La Verne, CA 0-2
65th SO CAL CHOPPERS BLACK Valencia, CA 0-2

1234 you are completely out of control. Your comments on this thread (and heybucket) are shameful at best and I would think, embarassing to at least some of your parents. It is one thing to express an opinion, it is something completely different to throw the kind of BS around that you do. You have no facts on the FC pitcher and your comments on the SF family is inexcusable. You would think by now that JM would pull the plug on you because you are embarrasing your team and the organization. As far as nationals go...you played russian roulette with several teams before CA98 came out to play. You can talk all day about being a better team than TPS but "they beat you". Errors? every game has them, every team makes them...the CA98 girls dont quit and seem to fight to the end. However, they still fell short. Where were your big bats then? You put a big target on the backs of a group of girls that haven't stepped foot on the dirt as a 14u team? You are cocky, arrogant, disrespectful and dont represent your organization well. If I was a parent of one of your current pitchers, I would have plenty to say to you, in person.
