PFX McKinney

After those pool games we took the girls back beat them, made them run diamonds in the field behind the hotel and berated them for hours until they were in tears...

Just kidding Our girls were having a "10 year old" moment. If you haven't seen us before we can understand you wondering how we got the "w" in the tournament. All us parents were rolling our eyes and wondering what we were doing there as well . But our girls, as they usually do, proved us wrong, gutted it up and got the job done. We don't always play perfectly but our 99 Bomber team like the rest of our organization is a scrappy group. We never played well last weekend, but the girls know how to get the job done. Plus, in the pool games we do play around with our lineups and batting orders, etc so that does make for a few screw ups that we normally wouldn't make. I promise, we really can play softball. Just sorry you had to watch that display on Saturday morning....it wasn't pretty.....

As for umpires, we have played in Dallas a LOT this fall and spring season. We have always commented about how decent your umps have been up there. Every now and then we roll our eyes at one of them, but that is fairly rare. We don't always agree with the call but consistency and mechanics are usually good and that is all we ask for. The difference being that the majority (instead of the minority) of the umpires at this tournament were problematic. In 7 games we had maybe 3 or 4 that had the appropriate mechanics and could maintain a game. I would have considered this rare for Dallas until then. We continue to enjoy coming to Dallas to play, but not sure what we will do about the PFX next year.

The most consistant officiating that I have seen this year has worked in NRH and Keller.

That's because Oscar Ross at least makes an attempt to provide quality, trained people on the field. Not all's perfect with Oscar but he's probably the best DFW has to offer. I especially like how he told FWASA to stick it where the sun don't shine...He gets an A+ for growing some big ones and telling the old guard that he'll look after his people first, including the customer, before he bends over for GG, Grubbs, Self and company...

Here I go, agreeing with Joe again! Oscar and crew are great! By and large hustle into position to make the call! Also, I LOVE the fact they take pride in their appearance! Shoes polished, multiple shirts for the tourney, etc. Very Professional! And look Joe I was able to do a post without using Lastly....DOH! guess not! Honcho out!

If Blue makes the same effort that the girls make on the diamond all this bashing of blue would mostly go away. It's when they sit on their heels and make lazy calls that gets everyones panties in a wad!!

I think anyone that has played at Craig Ranch would agree the officiating is always a little Lax. Lot of Attitude, Lazy, and unprepared. Always have to wait on them to arrive for the early games, at least one of them is always late. I don't think the PFX has anything to do with it. Its just a lazy crew that is unprepared.
