Hey guys! What's up!
I'm honestly new to this whole website thing, i've posted a few comments on some other Forums and WOW! Outfielder20 is everywhere lol what's up man! Looks like your going to be someone for me to get to know since your watching our team like that, but i see you and baseball887 are talking about my grades and to be honest with ya'll i never did have a problem with them. I can admit that the policy in our school is getting strict about grades. It's becoming to be 2F's and 3 unexcused absences and you can't play. It's a fairly good rule i guess, just to get everybody straight. But basbeball887?? Where do you know me from??
steinmetzss u got a pm
I love seeing snow on the ground. That allways means just one more season until Baseball.

OH. Thanks for the info.
so ya if neone has info on the teams and etc post it up
Is anyone in that conference any good?
truthfully i dont kno lol but jus seeing how it is
I read in the Tribune a few months back that Chicago Public League was thinking of switching to wood bats next year. Did that go through? Also heard the Private School League was talking about it too.
nah im 95% sure the public league is not going wood
the public league isnt switching to wood.
people wanted to but the vote on it didnt pass.
it would cost too much $$$ for bats, and they would be the only league with it.

im pretty sure....as always in the S.C., that lane, clemente, and harlan will be at the top....but i would like to see some teams give them a run for their money
I've seen several of us out at various events/facilities trying to get better this off-season. This is the time to start turning it up, we are. I've seen some of my guys and they are getting BIG. I expect a big year from you guys in the CPS, lets talk with our play this year!

Tito,
I bet you would like to see one team give them a run for their money. You guys will sneak up on some people who don't know how good you are this year. I know already so be ready for a battle.

Coach Stringer
haha. you got that right coach. i look forward to the upcoming season.
who does tito play for?
northside college prep
That's right, can't wait for the 2007 season. Especially for the Schaumberg Classic, just to give the suburban teams a little taste of the Public League!
Thanks baseballl887, thanks for the support!
I'm sure that the suburban teams are really concerned
No offense meant eazy,
The suburban and many downstate and out lying areas are much stronger then the "city" teams. City teams are getting stronger but they are a long way fron strong teams of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. As an old 46th Street South "LA" (Laporte, Laclaire, Lavergne boy), I hope the city teams continue to grow stronger. Part of it is training, part of it is travel, strength of the team from top to bottom and part of it is grades.

Clemente can play with anybody in the state. upstate, downstate, city, suburbs, you name it we can play it lol

I echo the sentiments of ISC59, while you may be one of the best in the city, you and the top dozen teams in the city are nowhere near the top dozen in the burbs.

Ill be posting scores when the season starts. We play alot of big schools so i guess we will just have to wait and see
There are a lot of reasons for CPS to be in the chase and trying to catch up with the suburban schools. Some gains are being made, but there is a long way to go. Much of the problem is money related and coaches are much needed to improve the fundamentals to develop quality players.
The lack of comparable facilities also significantly impacts the development of talent.
The Super Bowl bound Chicago Bears contributed $200,000 for improvement of the athletic fields at Senn High School. More of this kind of corporate support is needed.

Mark,
I think lack of comparable facitilites is the biggest barrier for the good CPS baseball teams. Schools like yours have every bit the dedicated, focused kids it takes to get there as does a school like ours. When Whitney Young plays at our School, there will be more kids on the Whitney Young team who played high-level Travel Ball than there will be on the Barrington Team.
IMHO I think the coaching thing really isn't as important. Most kids who are really good players developed away from the school and I've seen my share of (particulary underclass) coaches who pretty bad. Obviously a very good Varsity Coach will have a program that knows how to win, but that skill is the one that makes a difference.

The two Barrington games were good last year and I expect the same again this season.
You might be on to something....teaching these kids how to win is perhaps the missing ingredient along with faclilities gap. Some of the WY players have "been there" and have had that experience to know what it takes to get the win and make the final out. There is considerable talent coming up that should help the situation
Others have never been in those situations.

How are the teams looking this year?
i dont think anyone will get past clemente and lane they will be in the finals again these two teams have been playing it out back since the horner and hamlin park all star days and both have a lot of talent on there teams
I don't know I thought Clemente was short on pitching
Clemente never had more pitchers in the last 4 years. All we lack is that big power pitcher(but there is someone who can take care of that on occasion)
Good to hear wild cat.
