Hope FM had a nice long layoff after beating us. Frown After watching SLC play this year and FM, I am predicting a sweep by the DRAGONS. If FM could not beat the DRAGONS last year with the studs they had why should this year be any different?

Neither team will get by Mansfield.....neither.

Any folks disagree? Eek

Summerball could not come any sooner for this train. Big Grin

How sure are you about a sweep Train??
I would have put a lot of money that your boy CG would have dominated FMH, but we saw how that went. I will agree with SLC taking the series, but not a sweep.

There are not many teams that are going to get by Mansfield. When you have a first round draft pick, and a lefty that can compete at an extremly high level. Asuring a "W" almost every time he steps on the mound. baseball4
SLC is much improved since the first part of the season. They have done a great job considering they had no returning startes from last years team. FM has regrouped from a team loaded with players selected in the draft and D-I signess. Although they were eliminated from their first round last year (like some others near FM this year and with studs in their line-up), they have pretty good team. The reason Choo Choo hates, despises, dislikes FM is because???? He has never really explained to the group of posters as to the root or his deep down reason. The best he could offer was that, (and I am going to paraphrase) " coach does not understand the HS game, that anyone that had as much talent last year as the FM team had should have won state, that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! Roll Eyes

He obviously has idle time to plan his summer and just finished his crow! Smile

SWAC & Gunslinger....if you knew the talent they had last year (I think everyone knew) and saw the choke job by this coach you would have agreed with me. Read all my prior posts as your question is yesterdays news. Just think if the ROCK would have had FM's studs last year would SWAMI have won it all?

Gun they beat us and yes I can and will give them credit but IMO they are not that good ....maybe very lucky. Some kids on the bench should be on the field (do not read into that as that is what my FM friends tell me).

Get ready for a great week on the web as this train is ready to roll!!! Razz
Let's see FM lost last year in the first round, done, over, move on..........don't you think the team, the coach and the players suffered enough over that loss. To have the talent, the depth and don't forget all the hype/eyes that were on that team.... then to lose like they did, don't you think each and everyone associated with that team last year carries that burden with them, esp. the coach?

Train, what a lot of us don't understand is why you, a non FM parent, continues to bring this up. Let those coaches/parents/players deal with it on their own and let those associated with this year's program focus on "this year"... Or should we spend all of next year talking about how your Coach chose a 1 Game Playoff vs a Series and continue to bash him over and over about that decision.........

After your game you saw a little of this from the FM parents but they dropped it and moved on maybe because they are taking the high road on this one, maybe it is because they understand mistakes and maybe it is because they are focused on what is truly important their own program and not other programs.........

As to your comment on good players on the bench, Heck every program I know, that has more than 9 players on their team, has good players "on the bench"..and their parents will point that out to you......we don't always understand, like or approve of who/when the coach plays a player but then again we don't get paid the big bucks (yeah right) that they get to take the heat they take day in and day out on the decisions they make...........

Here is a novel idea: Maybe if you tell who you are UpnIn will do the same. I know he is a parent and that is all I am going to say on that one......

Gosh I miss all this flirting....... Wink

I am trying to figure out how Aaron Luna hitting a walk off home run to beat you, off of Paul Kelly by the way, is a choke job. Are you saying he choked by taking out Gaviglio in the 7th to bring in a 93 MPH closer? Didn't they go to Round Rock the year before?

Confused in Keller
Sounds to me like Train needs to get a life. Anyone who sits around and talks about other people and in negative tones.. .especially teenagers and educators needs to look in the mirror and wonder if they could find anything better to do with their life.

But, I have come up with a way for him to make a high school baseball program better.... Check this out:

Go to college, get a degree, then take your teaching tests to get certified to teach in Texas, then apply to be a coach somewhere. Then coach however you want... it is America, you can do whatever it is you want.

Oddly enough the people in this "circle" who talk about how things coulda shoulda been NEVER go out and accomplish by themselves. So much easier just to be a talker in this world instead of a DOer...

Train, don't know you but would love to come watch your HS team in the playoffs whenever it is that you get them there.

Dad0406...time has past me to play ball any longer. But I was (has been) a hell of a player!


WOW!! Great syntax!

Oh and to address your previous request(s) as to "whose kid is yours?" I claim many as I have coached many but I refuse to divulge the name(s) because it would appear that I have given up my vow of silence and was no longer "promoting silently" which I know you loathe.

Train, quite living in the past. Last year is last year and this year is this year. Its no doubt they had a more talented individuals last year. I didn't say team. This group although not as talented plays together as a team. That carries you a long way.

Blackhawks18, Patriots18??, Panthers18, are the Arl. A's still around??? or have they fallen off map like the Black Sox???


Without more recruiting, they don't have the pitching to win a series against 17's & 18's like the above.... but the best teenage team around may be the Dallas Tigers 15U team.

There are few that are not!


Actually, I think Train adds some spice to an uptight crowd. I might agree some tracks are laid ( can I type laid?)which offend and I would not make those statements. But all in all, the Train is entertaining and I am happy to read most of his posts.
