Star dad,

You obviously like to stir things up.

If your son is a star, then why aren't you doing your job as a parent. You better protect that arm. Throwing 9 innings in a game is a sure fire way to not realize your dreams for your son. It's not important for him to be a star today. It matters when he is Junior and Senior in High School.


"Hey, being a coach for the LL team is not fun, you have to be in every game 1 hr earlier, under 100 degree heat, hitting ground balls or fly balls to the players. You take blame for every loss while kids got all the credit for the win. Coaching is a very hard job to do especially at LL level, because you don't got paid for doing it. Since you don't got paid, you really don't care about how great your star player is (unless he is your son), you can sit him out whenever you like, the worst case is that you won't see him next year. If the coach's son is the weak player, he may jealous your talented son, and wish your son quit ASAP."

C'mon, you really aren't serious with this are you? Those things really are fun. That is why a coach coaches.
StarDad:

I am a demanding parent with a super talented kid. In addition to preparing my son to be a major league baseball player and multi-millionaire, I demand that he study and effectively apply rhetorical principles of writing (developing effective sentences and paragraphs, use of proper grammar, punctuation, syntax and mechanics, logical progression of ideas, etc.) when posting on internet message boards. I don't want him to sound like an ignorant blowhard jacka$$ when he's telling the world how great he is.


Try to mix in a little English Comp. 101 between bullpen sessions and cage work; it will really come in handy when you're composing the terms of the "no-trade" clause in your son's contract.

Good Luck!
