According to the rosters, Tanner Bushue is playing with Braves scout team. Is PG webcasting the event?

That is correct he is playing on the Braves Scout team.

thought someone said Bo Jackson team was taking some kids from the scout league? Did that happen, doesn't look like it.

Cangy: 1-0
Bo: 1-1

Cangy: 3-0 advance to sweet 16 play
Bo: 2-1

Great job, men!

BaseballWebTV is putting highlights up on their site during the tourney. I found this link in the General forum:
http://www.baseballwebtv.com/Search.aspx?Tag=2008+WWBA+...p+-+Jupiter&Filter=2

On page 3 there is a highlight play by Bo Jackson Midwest's 2B. Anyone we know?

Another highlight on page 5 when the Bo Jackson team's CF dives but can't get the ball...but watch what happens at home plate.

There are several highlights from the White Sox scout team...are those players from IL?

Any other players you know in these highlights?

In your opinion, who from the scout league should have gone?

Also, the scout league did not allow them a team in the league.

I thought I read somewhere on here that stated that's what they were going to do. I thought they were working something out. Maybe whoever wrote that had mis-information then. I see they brought Milroy with them so it looks like they were picking up some players to take down there.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, oh forget it!

Whoa!

were you going to tell me Milroy was in the scout league? The earlier post in another thread stated they were combining teams with players in the scout league so I figured there would be a bunch of kids from the scout league on the Bo Jackson team. My impression was it would be mainly Illinois kids. like I said, maybe that was misinformation on here that I read.

Milroy played with them all fall. Again, you dont have any substance behind anything you post. Why do you?

The team is a mixture of Cangy guys with midwest redbirds, and grand rapids diamonds. Redbirds are run by brian hopkins who is a midwest scout for the St. Louis Cardinals. The Diamonds are run by Billy Peterson out of michigan.

What do you do for a living? and how are you able to get on this website so much?

Carefull, Coach! He's a slippery one, that guy...

Steeley,
They brought 3 teams to the Kernels foundation and he wasn't on any one of the rosters. Milroy did play in the scout league, so I figured they just picked him up and brought him to florida. If you say he played with them all fall then he probably did, I know for a fact he didn't play with them last year.

There's a little substance behind that I would say and I asked a question. You answered it, why do you continue to try to discredit things I say, why do you take everything I say as an attack on you or your organization. There's plenty of guys on here that post alot more than I do, did you ask all them what they do for a living? I like checking the site when I have time and seeing what people are talking about, it's fun to me. I don't care who the team is consisting of, I read they MIGHT combine teams with the scout league. I wondered if that happened and expressed how I thought it would be mostly IL kids going, since they are the only team from IL. We expressed how there's a ton of talent in ILLinois in the past. What are you so defensive about all the time? Relax, i'm not the bad guy just asking questions.

Nails,

I do not belong to any organizations, I just know the ones that are doing things ethically right and have kids best interests at heart.

I dont try to discredit you, I think you discredit yourself by not having any basis or substance behind your statements, yet blanketing them as fact and instigating arguments.

Nothing would be wrong with debating but I dont think you want that. You would rather raise peoples blood pressure by stirring the pot.

It doesnt make me defensive, just reveals your insecurities.

I am sure you will have a brilliant response for me. So fire away

STEELEY, Come on don't belong to any organization? You were a Sparks guy on here last year? Get real.. They have a history of stealing players through the use of their FREE Invite to Jupiter although they did not qualify by winning anything. Then PG magically placing top area palyers on their team for Jupiter. Then somehow the players end up playing for them next year. If your gonna walk the walk and talk the talk?

Its nice to have the bids.

Tuzi, Have bids? For what would rather have to earn it. That way you knoe you've accomplished something. Would love for our Cubbies or Sox to have a free bid to World Series? Best part of making it there is earning it. Sprinkler system? if you were there and saw it, I could understand you knowledge. If not wild accusations are dangerous

The Jupiter tournament it is a very coveted tournament. I think most teams and players would like to be there since every scout in the world seems to be. It was 85 and sunny yesterday too.

Sticking to your line of thinking, I would think our Sox/Cubs would love to be there right now but they obviously didn't EARN it. Even more importantly is to keep the intergrity of the coveted tournament as you say? I agree most teams and players would probably like to be there but again MOST have to EARN it, they don't get a free bid.The best things in life are not always FREE

GIVE IT UP FOR THESE GUYS!

Does anyone appreciate the accomplishment?

GOOD LUCK BOYS!

Only a small group of the teams in Jupiter had to qualify. Most of the teams are there on open bids.

Rain last night affected the fields/schedule. Good chance Cangi team does not play until tomorrow A.M.

Today the Cangy and Bo teams finished their pool play. Cangy finished 4-0 and will face the winner of tonights FL Bombers / Diamond Devils game. Playoffs will begin Monday morning. Bo finished 2-2.

FYI Fields improved to finish the regularly scheduled games. Cangi won 4-2. Bo Jackson lost. Cangi plays tomorrow at 800 am.

Whats that mean?

With the regiment of Sparks guys all over this thread, maybe we can finally get an answer that's been asked a few times and by a few different posters. Can anyone tell me where the 2008 Illiana Sectional in the Connie Mack WS was played, and who the Sparks beat to move on to Michigan? It seems like a very simple, direct question but it has never been answered.

Coach Steeley,

Don't sweat this garbage, I can imagine it would be easy to take personal. Some players, parents...er...coaches never get over their jealousies and insecerities. Just keep doing what your doing. Your players and their parents say enough nice things to hang your hat on.

biggerpapi's comment was sarcasm, his son is a Spark Cangy player.

I'm fairly confident that's sarcasm.

Best of luck to Bill and Cangy tomorrow.

holy schmoly, do u c that cplz?

.congrats to cangys team. FYI midwest blazers finished 3-1. Did not win pool. Pg is a bit too focused on their ranked players. Makes pbr look totally objective. Good tournament though.

Yes, sorry, that was supposed to be sarcasm. Someone earlier suggested that Cangy/Sparks didn't "earn" a bid to Jupiter.

I think they're holding their own down there.

My son is a Spark/Cangy player but he's not in Jupiter this year.

Papi,

Sorry, I stand corrected.

How does Homer Simpson say it? DOAH!
