Give me a little more credit than that.
Don't be a player hater.
Hate the game not the player swac.

Knowitall I can give you a debit but no credit, believe me you are no player and have no game.

Is there any chance that we can discuss the tourney once it begins?

STOP the INSANITY and FOCUS
on the FIREBIRDS pool. Who
are they going to throw against
El Centro?...The kid from Team Alaska
throws cheddar so I'm sure the Firebirds
will see him and I heard there was a
"Ding **** Daddy" on the DUMAS club...

I want the truth!
You cant handle the truth...

Swac, in an earlier post you said; “First knowitall I don't know you and could give a rats *** about what you say”.

If that’s the case, why respond to my post?

I agree with PD let's stick to the tournament.

Please, you can call me KIA.

Personally, I'd take the East Cobb over 50 guys in Pool ZZZ

I think team Alaska wins it all...

Nope, I'm calling you Train with just a new name.

I saw a few of these teams play in the University of Nebraska tourney when I was in Lincoln watching my little brother's team (Arlington A's) and the East Cobb Astros were stacked with some big time talent. If I had to pick someone it would be them.

My little brother did a decent job against them in the tourney....only gave up one run to them in 4IP with 6k, 2h, 1bb. I think the A's can compete though. They have some good players in Milner, Putman, Melotakis, Kubitza, Garcia, and of course my homer bias in my little brother....Stew Person. However, I didn't see the South Carolina team listed in this tournament...they were stacked too....can't remember which...they were either the Rawlings or Louisville Slugger sponsored team.

The hook has been set; better keep an eye on the drag.
I've got a big one!

This from Perfect Game blogs....

Jordan Hebert of Team DeMarini hit a dramatic walk-off 3-run home run in the bottom of the 7th inning to give Team DeMarini a 3-2 win over Akadema Indiana Yankees Tuesday in the 11:30 time slot. Hebert is a 2009 prospect from Bishop Lynch HS in Dallas, TX.

Beast, Your last score tickled me.

Dallas Panthers 1
Akadema / Florida Raiders 3

GK,

Tychco saw the walk off and said it was picture perfect.

Also, from the East Cobb Wrap regarding the Marshals Gold game:
WP: Jake Feckley (MC) 2 innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 0 BB's,
CF Johnny Hendrixson (MC) 1-2, HBP, 2B, run, Rbi, SB;
LF Chase Durham (MC) 1-3, 2B, BB, Rbi;
RF Jason Heflin (MC) 2-3, run, SB

quote:

Dallas Panthers 1
Akadema / Florida Raiders 3

Another PG blog....

Akadema/Florida Raiders LHP Patrick Schuster threw the first masterpiece of the 17U championships, tossing a complete game no-hitter against the Dallas Panthers Tuesday in the 11:30 time slot. Schuster struck out 13 hitters and didn't issue a walk, although he did hit 2 hitters and another Panther reached on an error.

Hit at Etowah not a cheapie with a woodie.

Tell Tychco to stay away from Bob's Chili around the corner in Woodstock, GA.... still suffering heartburn a year later

Catcher,
Your pool list was funny. And everyone needs a little laugh with the economy going crazy, gas prices going crazy, and parents like me wondering if the team bus has made it Atlanta because their son is probably sleeping crazy!!

Take Care!!

Grassy - Lord knows Tychco doesn't need intestinal problems! I've already instructed everyone to go to the Marietta Diner. It's delicious and has something for everyone.

If you're looking for a food recommendation - I always try to stop at a Mellow Mushroom Pizza when I visit Atlanta. Several locations, 3 or 4 in Marietta. www.mellowmushroom.com

With the rain delay in the third inning is the game considered over or will they start where they left off when it is rescheduled. I saw the blog that said the East Cobb fields were under water.. Any reports of scouts/coaches there?

catcher-you are killing me!! I just got an email that my sons team was losing 9-0 when the rain hit so we needed to laugh

What Collikar failed to mention was that her son Tychco (Tyler Collins) drilled a solo home run in DBAT's win. Rick Cruz added a two-run blast as well. Both were no-doubters leaving the bat.

Josh Turley went the distance to pick up the win.

No trip to Atlanta would be complete without a Heavy Dog from The Varsity (on North Avenue near Georgia Tech).

Fun, ain't it?

can you get a beer with the heavy dog? We love the mellow mushroom in Nashville. Memphis needs one!

D-BAT 16U 4

Thanks, Hawk. Tychco said it was a total team effort and that Turley did a great job of keeping their bats at bay.

FO - It's mainly fun when your winning. How's rehab on our boy?
