10U ????

[sftbldad]

Hey "On the Juice" Blogging on 10U. What team are you with this year? or this part of this year?
"T-Baller" thanks for the kind remarks on the little one. Not bad for being undersized & poorly coached (by me). I will say this past weekend was a eye opener for me. We played Dynasty (stomped us) thank you TShark. Illuision the closest to a "99" team that we have seen (beat them). Desparados lost 5-1 (but 4 errors & 1 earned run). Fillies (won 6-5) great game learned alot about coaches conduct. Franchise (lost 11-1) spanked us but we did hold them to 1 earned run in 2 innings before the exploded on us. Great game management & keeping the girls composed by those coaches. Overall not bad for us. I did notice that the big teams in 10U have serious difficulty hitting junk & low ball pitchers. A few weeks back we held Crunch to a 4-0 game in 5 innings including 2 scoreless. The game ended in with no outs, bases loaded and the top of our line up. Oh yeah and 1 exploding bat.
I think we did well for our 1st year in 10U. Too bad for us its time to call it quits. Thank you to all the teams we have played & watched play. Also to those coaches & managers best of luck in nationals.

I must admit I (Fillys) am proably the coach that Empire learned alot about coaches conduct, and as a coach I to am still learning how to conduct myself on the field and I can guarentee I will continue to learn. I believe that is what will set me apart from the umpire I was interacting with in such a negative way.. anyway, I feel we learned more by getting spanked this weekend then we have all season, I believe i saw the quote here in this thread which stated, sometimes you learn more by loosing then winning. I heard one team call us a glorified all star team, which made me laugh because how many 10u teams out there aren't. Congrats to Franchise on the win, there is always next time for us.

Quick, everyone bring in your pets, especially if you own a rabbit. Mrs. Glen Close, er, softballgrammy, is driving around the neighborhood. Restraining Order your Honor.

I think AA should get into a tourney with the other top 5 - they could be number 1. Who's going to host that friendly? [/quote]

Empire United - I saw your team play in the Fall and then again a few times in the Spring. There is no doubt your girls worked hard at their game and got more competitive. Good job! These girls will be better players for it and hopefully we will see you and them back in travel ball.
I respect your coaches for entering friendly with tough teams.

Filly's - I think sometimes parents forget that things said at the park can be heard by anyone and everyone. "Glorified All Star Team" - they forget their kids probably played All Stars last year - what's wrong with that? There's a whole thread on the board about "the stupiest thing heard at the softball field" Every team out there this weekend gave effort and paid the same entry.

Why do coaches and teams say this every time they lose? There's always a BUT, ERRORS, COULD OF, WOULD OF AND IF. IF Grammy (Mama Bear) had balls she would be my Gramppy (Papa Bear)...

Let it be another lesson to EU save this talk for your team meetings and a loss is a loss no matter what...

WE WANT GRAMMY, WE WANT GRAMMY, WE WANT GRAMMY!!!!

Get in here and start some fires, it's starting to die down and people are starting to apologize!

Dear Mr. C. Loser,

Next time you think about waking up Mama Bear, you better clean your nose, and mind your manners, little whipper snapper. First of all baby, Grammy loves all of the little children, especially her "slow" ones. Seems like you didn’t get the attention, nor oxygen, during the critical periods of your early life. Bless your heart.

Let’s see, so far this thread, you have given us brilliant information about this years Texas teams to beat in 10U’s, intelligent commentary on last year’s National Champs, Team Smith Blue, awesome scouting tips on how to beat Franchise, and a self indulgent 10U ranking. You are on fire son!

Look here junior, right now, you are an unqualified, bracketologist “wannabe”. What exactly qualiflies you to rank the 10u’s? Did you get any input from anyone? What is your system? How many games have you seen? Did you take a poll? Have you been playing with those darts in the dark again?

It does seem like you have a fixation with Franchise. I bet you like soft dirt, shiny objects, and cute little furry animals to pet. Remember, be gentle Lenny. Go ahead, go slow and read all of your posts. Remember, read slowly, with your eyes open. You should take it easy on the Haterade, you cute little lush. A pollster can’t be biased, honey. Come here son, give Mama a hug and let me pet your head. Mama still loves you, you’re special.

Now I told you once, my gdd doesn’t play with Franchise, but you don’t listen. Honey, the slow ones never do. Heck, I’ll just talk slower. You probably just have that name stuck in your mind. Poor baby, all this outside stimulation has you all confused.

As for Grammy, aka “Mama Bear”, I’m here to protect all 10u’s from ignorant adult behavior. If I hear someone taking the 10U division too seriously, you’ll hear from me. If I hear any 10u team getting over criticized, strategized against, hated on, or anything else in that negative direction, I’ll be here to tear you a new one, on their behalf. Grammy loves the kids.

GRAMMY’S SOFTBALL TRIVIA
What do you call a dummy, who thinks he’s smart? He is a DH.

So here’s to you C. Loser. May this this post light a fire in that somewhat dim head of yours.

OUCH!
