Then why was she (#37) leading off and playing 2nd base for Voodoo this past weekend? Just curious.

I don’t want to get into the real story. Just keep believing what you heard. And remember there’s always two sides to the story. And by the way the kid is a great player and is missed on our team.

Why doe's KekambuS appear to be so angry with Voodoo? I don't know. Ask him. But please refrain from bringing my DD into this. She is just a 13 year old girl who loves softball and loves her current team.

As far as the Voodoo coaches chasing a trophy? All I have to say to that is, sit down and have a beer with them. Once you meet them you will know how ridiculous the accusation is.

It doesn't matter how nice of a guy he is.....I can't believe that you don't understand what many people are saying here.......I have personally seen Voodoo play and they are a SO CAL A LEVEL TRAVEL BALL TEAM.......They would be a top 10 team in the A division at TCS this year based on the teams that are there.......However, they are a top 2 team in the B division.........FOR SURE......They are playing in the B division in my opinion because they know that they will win it.........Playing in the A division will be much more difficult although that is where they belong......

By the way, I can see at least 5 average teams from So Cal in the A division that are not even half as competitive as Voodoo and they are playing in the A division because they are a So Cal travel team just like Voodoo.......

Just be honest and don't twist things around to make someone look like they aren't doing what they ARE doing.....

No i am not angry with VooDoo. I was just saying they are a A team easy. I was giving them props. Relax GSB im still cool with you.

The designation of "A" or "B" is done by Travis at Triple Crown based on the teams level of performance at previous tournaments and the number of tournaments played in. I do not believe the teams can request where they play.

Exactly, Travis makes the call not the teams.

I think one of things that people are forgetting is what I see as the difference between the A & B division. The A division teams are consistent at what they are, all have a solid 9 girls all the way through & for the most part can beat any of the other teams there on a good day. Of course some teams have more talented players than some of the other teams, which makes them favorites in their respective pool.

As for the B division all those teams are inconsistent & all the teams that you mention as good teams, all are inconsistent. They have a strong core that can play against any other team, but all those teams have holes in their top 9 & I am sure they are well aware of it and know going to the A bracket, those holes will be exposed & it is a short trip to Utah. Whereas, in the B bracket all the other teams are in the same boat, so you can probably mask those weakness that you have in your top 9.

Getting back to an earlier post: I will pick the 3 pool winners from each (I don't know teams from No Cal or out of state teams, so don't know how they will impact each pool)

A Division: (A) So Cal Diamonds, Outlaws, Fury (if AZ Cats is a decent team I'll take them over Fury). (B) Corona Eliminators, USA Athletics & Double Play. (C)Corona Xpress, Revenge & 1st Class. (D) OC Crush, AA, Lil Rebels. (E) OC Frenzy, Glendora Crush, So Cal Hurricanes (if Salinas Storm is decent I will give them nod over Hurricanes)

Final Four (don't know how brackets will play out): Revenge, Lil Rebels, 1st Class, Outlaws. I think this is a collosion course between Revenge & Lil Rebels if they can avoid each other in the brackets. I haven't seen Corona Xpress play, so not sure if they would beat out 1st Class (watch out for their hitters, not sure if pitching can carry them all the way through)

B Division: Too many out of state teams, I will just pick a group of teams that can win it.
West Coast Voodoo, HB Force, Desert Blaze, SA Xtreme, Revenge 97, Bustos Elite

Good Post......

[outfielder]

what is Voodoo going to do for an encore....play an 8U All Star team?

[hesit8er]

I agree with Hotwheels and outfielder. Any travel team from So Cal has no business playing B division. I don't care what the excuse, lost players, injured players, new team, etc. Shame on them or anybody else that enters the tournament in the B division. And don't hide behind the Triple Crown people. You can man up and tell them to put you in the A division. They don't care where you play, just pay. B division is for rec......period, end of story, ESPECIALLY for any teams from So Cal.
"Go and have a drink with the coaches and you'll know they aren't there for the win." Are you serious?? Of course they are, go and have a drink with the coaches and tell them to grow some nads and play where they are suppose to...............A division. His sincere note is not fooling anybody, just the parents on his team who don't want to go all the way to Utah without some guarantee that they can kick the teeth in of some rec ball team.

Funny Stuff,

I guess you did'nt bother to look at the B bracket. Not one rec team in it. All are ASA travel teams.

[hesit8er]

Yeah, that's a joke! Like I said, any "travel" team from So Cal should be A division. It's not a revolving door.
