OC Batbusters'95 Coach Fresno Tourney

[Sam]

And as far as the "life lesson" quotes, please. If your 12u coach is the one shaping your DD's perceptions in life and teaching her her values you have some stronger parenting to do.

Sorry Spaz, you are only half right on this one.

My response is to your statement and has nothing to do with the fresno drama.

I agree that parents are the one's that should be shaping our kids values, but are you telling me that the people we allow our kids to be around have no affect on their values. I would not allow my kids to hang around other kids that do things that are contrary to my values, would you? Heck, I have family that I rarely visit because I don't agree with their values and parenting practices. I believe if you allow a particular behavior you condone that behavior.

What we do, we teach. What we allow, we teach.

If my dd's coach ever lost control I would expect an explanation and an apology. If his behavior continued I would leave.

My dd played in a 12u friendly where the opposing coach snapped on his pitcher. The coach walked out to the circle chewed her out in front of everyone. Before walking back to the dugout he slapped the girls visor knocking it down over her eyes. After the game I took my daughter aside and told her that I would never allow anyone to speak to her like that and she should never allow anyone to treat her that way.

It is our job as parents to protect, monitor and oversee our kids from as much crap as we can.

I'll bet that kid was his DD. Just guessing, but no other parent would allow a coach to do that.

Could you imagine if all this did happen, and the blue knocked Jesse out. All the Jesse haters could stand over him and shout, "Jesse!!!, you just got knocked the F#$# out!!!!!!"

Okay...can we at least reach a consensus on this:

Any parent who is old enough to have a '95 kid and [b]who plays rap music at all, let alone cranked up at a softball game, is in desperate need of an ass-kicking (to make up for the thousands they clearly deserved and didn't get somewhere along the way).


..LOL..just wondering...what is the appropriate age to toss the rap cd's..??..

..LOL...well I'm not ready for "Old Guys Rule" t-shirts (far from it) and I sure as hell don't have Star 98.7 programmed in my truck. If you hear a truck pulling up to the fields playing EPMD's Strictly Business...it's probably me...

Ijust don't see why this issue has continued to escalate in the manner it has.I sat and watched the ballgame in which the "supposed" incident took place and yes there was a couple of calls that were questioned but the questioning did not escalate into the the type of histeria it has garnered. Why has this turned into a personel vendetta with all the sharpshooters coming out of their closets? What amazes me is that there is no mention of the parent who sat on the Pride side and blatantly kept shouting from his perch across the field in hopes of "maybe" getting the coaches attention. What's the difference? As a parent do you think it's fair that my DD who sat in the stands watching the game should be exposed to someone airing there dirty laundry, how about the rightfielder who was in the direct line of fire of the "Parent"? Yet the firing squad continues to do what we Americans do best.

What is it with you folks? Are all your dd's made of glass? My kids would have been laughing
at the a**hole.

Jesse was having issues 1 year ago with his ability to manage people and his composure. Only the truly great ones understand that you have to pick and choose your battles, and pool play isnt a place to show your temper/bad side in a derogitory way. There is never an excuse but we can understand what can happen at the fields. No one likes to get "job'd", but again if its Sunday in a do or die situation you can be an ass(or have some latitude), just be constructive to get your point accros... meeting anyone in the lot after or making that "crack" is bounds for all the community ridicule and possible litigation you may face... especially if you have history along these lines... ask DJ (10U & 12U nats)about that....

If it's in ASA championship play. I guess.

Otherwise you're a freak.

Today was like one of those fly dreams
Didn't even see a berry flashing those high beams
No helicopter looking for a murder
Two in the morning got the fat burger
Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
And it read Jesse M's a pimp
Drunk as hell but no throwing up
Half way home and my pager still blowing up
Today I didn't even have to use my A.K.
I got to say it was a good day.

All joking aside leave the guy alone. So he may have gotten a bit hot. And I suppose none of the haters have ever flipped someone the bird on the freeway with their kid in the car. We all have moments. He is out there working hard to try and pass his love for the game on to the players.

Spazdad,

How dare you print out that "ghetto rap here". What if one of our suburban children is
reading the board? We must protect the children!

Come on people. Let's keep it "Suburban"!

Everyone sing along:

And I don't want you and I don't need you
Don't bother to resist, or I'll beat you
It's not your fault that you're always wrong
The weak ones are there to justify the strong

The beautiful people, the beautiful people
It's all relative to the size of your steeple
You can't see the forest for the trees
You can't smell your own sh** on your knees

There's no time to discriminate,
Hate every motherf***
That's in your way

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Can you please warn a person when posting pictures of that freak. At least Linda Blair looks better than that THING!!!

I'm sure it makes for a great family sing-along on the way to the ball park.
