Junior Olympics

did get invited, but listened to too many people who thought it was a bad idea for 15's to go...this was at the same time we were told 15's could not play BBI. In retrospect, maybe should have gone???

BBI Premier, that is

Here's the link to results:

http://mlb.mlb.com/usa_baseball/article.jsp?story=jo_schedule_west

I noticed these scores also from Kelley's pool:
Arizona Clash 1
Calif. Rebels 2

Arizona Clash 11
ABD Bulldogs-15 5

The Bulldogs Kelley beat 5-3 is the Bulldogs-15.
Bulldogs-16 also in the tourney.

Looks like the 15's can't hold with the 16's. At least in this pool. Expected, I suppose.

I think they just had a bad day. I know most of the teams there are loaded up with the best 09 and 08 in the country. Its a big time tourney for any 15's But I think next year they will be the big dogs there. I think its great that they are there being challenges and exposing there kids. Good luck Texas teams

I too think it's great they are there being challenged and getting exposed to the older kids. LOL, I couldn't resist.

Update : Game played @ 11:00 today.

Highlanders - 0

those JO scores are correct. Just goes to show you that there are plenty of other teams out there who can play.....Congratulations to the Texas Stix for their success at the JO's East in Florida

NorTex,

What was the STIX record in Florida. I am becoming more impressed with this organization everyweekend.

I know these 15s have the ability to compete, we got 6-7th in that tournament a few years ago. Unfortunately we didn't return as 16s. Keep fighting!

Maybe the Scottsdale Elite were 14.

What kind of comment is that ?? Aren't you one of the moderators ? Grow up - maybe if more people would post constructive/informative comments on this site it would be a valuable tool - which was the original intent - I'm sure - not to have people providing smart a ** comments like that one .

It's called a "joke" -- lighten up, dude. Wow!

Why are the groups from the younger teams so sensitive?

wreck -- if you want to retrieve my 2923 posts and determine whether I post contructive comments, feel free. If you're going to come on here and act like a prima donna after 3 contributions, well....good luck with all that.

Oh, and by the way ---- I think I've earned the right to be a smart a** on occation. Live with it.

Obviously you didn't see the smiley face at the end of the post, indicating the intenet...... and just read all the posts instead of picking one to base your opinion on a comment. The sensitivity of some people just amazes me....geez

Pd has earned his sarcasm license.....not many others (including myself) have.

I talked to nick today he says the stix are playing "OK", he noted the losses were 1 run games... For those of you coming out of USSSA, Super series, AAU, ect... Your with the big boys now, great teams/organizations come out of the woodwork that you have never seen or heard of (team kelly getting rocked) you will be amazed!!!

PD - What - you have earned the right to be sarcastic ? Why - because you are a moderator on the web ?? WOW !! You are the one acting like a prima donna. Why shouldn't one take those kind of comments personal - stop attacking and just post positive comments - or is that what this site is about ??

Officially boycoting "the wreck"

To much foolish rhetoric.......Someone needs a nap!

No wreck -- we can all be sarcastic. I love Team Kelly.....they are, without a doubt, the best 15 yr old team to ever play the game. Second to none. Absolutely first-class. Winners! See?

For the rest of you reasonable posters....and TK parents....peace....I luv ya.

wreck,

Chill, bro! If Kelly is good, people will see the results and know it. You don't have to convince everyone that reads this board that they are good.

Personally, I have always feared the guy that doesn't say much, just quietly goes about the business of kicking your ***.

But, hey, that is just my opinion and it means about as much as Paris Hilton's doctoral dissertation on pulsed power and its significance to the guidance systems of the Patriot Missile.

Tychco - Paris stole my paper????????

Wreck - you are barking up the wrong tree with regards to PD. You won't find a bigger cheerleader of the kids (that means ALL the kids regardless of team) and a more even-handed moderator. Take a deep breath and two steps back. PD is good people.

I don't mean to dogpile but I agree with what splitter said....

Jeeez if you don't have a sense of humor you will never last here Wreck. You must have been the parent freaking out while we had ya'll down 4-0 after 3 innings in Burkburnett. But of course the shock wore off and ya'll ended up beating us 6-4. But we had ya worried for a bit.

LMAO....I see you have a sarcasm license too!!!

Guys,
Here's my rebuttle to all this nonsense. I am not seeking validation for TK or any strokes - I do let their performance speak for themselves. I have sat and watched many previous discussions take place bashing TK and their coach.
1. That their coach overuses pitchers.
2. All they care about is winning.
I could go on. All of these statements are FALSE and they are dead WRONG and somebody needed to speak up for TK. The coach is OUTSTANDING - the kids love playing for him - and we, as parents, want to see our kids develop and challenge themselves so they can get better for their high school years. We have no pre-conceived notions and could care less about the wins and losses - we only care about our kids !!
So, you are right - a little sensitive - maybe so. I apologize to PD if his comments were just in jest. Remember, this board is about expressing opinions and I am entitled to mine also. Hope you can appreciate my being prideful in TK and what these kids have accomplished on the field and off. Thanks.

JG,
Don't encourage him.
He got it from his 11yo.

Cheapseats,
I like to dog pile, but only if I'm the one on top.

PD,
I thought you said Justin Northwest had the best 15 yo team ever...

Wreck,
I have to say I ahve been reading this board for a long while and I disagree with your comment that people are always bashing TK. I have seen plenty of people saying how good they really are and they are the real deal. The question people brought up about ya'll over using a pitcher in Burkburnett, it was more of a debate about pitcher overuse on any team. It wasn't TK bashing. Sounds like you are trying to create an issue out of something when there is nothing there.

Ok all -- time to let wreck off-the-hook. The only criticism of TK that I recall centered on one pitching incident ----- and I agree with P1 -- that discussion quickly turned to a philisophical one on pitch counts, etc. Let's not go there for a while. In all seriousness, I think many here have great respect for Team Kelly. Since I don't know the team (have never seen them play) but respect a few specific players (played McKinney in the HS season), I have no reason to bash anyone. But I reserve the right to be a smart a$$.

I want to reserve that right too.

By the way did Team Kelley make it to the top 32? The link want come up on my computer.

I'm striking that when I become a moderator PD.

Wait, can a moderator be moderated?

Only 2500 more posts, t-a-b, keep up the good work.

They finished pool play at 3-2 and the 36 seed. They will play two additional games and be done. The top 32 will play out a double elimination tournament.

Nice job!!

Hey great job TK.

OK, so I have been reading this thread and wanted to stay out, but I just can't. I may be new to this board, but I know PD and I surely know TK as my son has played against them from the start. They are an extremely good team and one of the best, no doubt. I disagree with "wreck" on their philosophy as they ARE all about winning. If it was development, then they would focus on local talent (which they had initially on their team) and not continually "purge" their roster adding players from Austin, Houston and did I see Georgia? I may be wrong on the GA part. Again, I am not bashing the team as I know several of the kids and they are wonderful. But, if it was not about winning, then why would you "fly" in kids from all over the state? They are continuing to adjust their roster to add the best kids possible from anywhere they can. My bet is that wreck was one of those just added this year from the Triple Play Black (again, just a guess). I enjoy the fact that the local organizations (Marshals, Mustangs, Tigers, etc.) do their best to keep the majority of their teams together from year to year...I know my son has enjoyed it. Oh, and for the record, PD is a smart a#$ and we at EAST enjoy it...IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE A PANTHER!
