tourney is this week. its a long story, but i have 2 bad apples who ruined the season for everybody. we know it only takes one to ruin the whole damn bunch; two is unconscienceable. i have one kid who thinks he's God's gift to baseball, (and a better coach than me). he's left handed and not bad, but i have him playing center field because he's left handed. he's not hit real good this year, thinks he can pitch, and from his center field (rarely has a chance position) has decided to tell the other kids how good he is and how bad they suck. no offense to the obama voters, but he comes from a welfare home where he expects everything to be given to him. so i gave him something last game; responsibility. we fell down 3-0 and i decided to pitch him. our league has a 5 run rule per inning. i put him in, (of course mom had been very vocal all year about my lack of coaching skill and bad decision making, and how good her son was, and how i wasnt utilizing him properly, etc...). i was gonna pitch him the 3 innings allowable by cal ripken rule, but... after 1 2/3 innings he had given up 9 runs on like 12 walks, (i dont have the scorebook in front of me, it may have been more.) mom pulled him off the field and QUIT. she left the field in a huff, ALL MY FAULT, of course. i never had so much fun getting beat 17-2 in my life. fuck you bitch. and your little fucking brat too. yes, i have another story. another bad apple. thats for another time. i told my dad when i put him in, heres the scorebook, "johnie" is pitching, im the only one authorized to make changes...and im going to go take a shit. this kid doesnt come out unless i say so. |

Our tourney was supposed to be this past week, but it pretty much got rained out. They always plan a double elimination tournament over two weeks, but during the weekdays they won't schedule more than one game. When a game gets rained out, it pushes everything back a day....long story short, they canceled two days and then decided to change the format. They basically have kept our team on hold for the past four days -- we were to play Tuesday and were rained out, so then we were to play Wednesday and they said the field was unplayable (we could have made due, it hadn't rained all day); so Thursday comes, it's beautiful, and an hour before the game we get a call that they have decided to alter the tournament structure and that they would redraw on Friday for games on Saturday. Today we get a call and they say they decided on a different format, and now we'll play Monday. League management sucks here. My son has stuggled this year at the plate...he's pretty small and is young for the league. He did have a two run double last game in a 9-3 loss. We have a 5 run limit as well and the pitching rules make it pretty difficult. We've got two legitimate pitchers but at most they can go three innings, and if they do then they can't throw the next game. Five run limit per inning here as well. There is one pitcher in our league that is incredible....both with his speed and accuracy. Last time we played them, he threw 18 pitchers (including 6 to our two all-stars), all for strikes, and struck out six batters. We only managed to foul off one pitch. |

i keep the scorebook so i know whats going on. weve got a kid down here pitched against us 3x this year and were yet to score on him. one game he pitched 3 innings, threw 30 pitches, and struck out all 9 batters. my "pitchers" suddenly cant find the plate. its been a frustrating season. going into it, i thought my boy was maybe 5th best on the team. he's shown me alot of heart and improvement this year. i dont have a problem pitching him in pressure situations anymore. i think he's our 2nd leading hitter as well. problem is...he's fucking lazy. he dont realize how good he could be. this season has really drained me. |

My brother's kid was the same way last year, but something clicked in his brain, and now he's very passionate about working hard, e.g. lifting weights and running. My brother doesn't know what did it... |

yep......that's what did it for me. |

Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism. | |
