Marshal nation...

I better get busy, Dtiger's gonna catch up with me this week on his posting!

Well, I'm glad Tommy has straightened this out.

I thought this thread was about pain,annoyance, and BM's.

Lawd, what a day.

I must have missed something --- where are the rumors about the Dallas Tigers? I don't recall anything being said to discredit the Dallas Tigers or Tom Hernandez. Apparently, Brett McCabe did what was best for him and his family. It sounds like TH supports the move. I started this thread on Friday because I felt like the subject was worth discussing. Catcher clarified the rumor -- and showed no disrespect for anyone. No one from DBAT or the Mustangs or any other club have taken shots at the Tigers. From my perspective, it is a compliment for the Tiger coaches to be coveted.

Thanks for pitching in, TH.

I take a couple days off from the web and whoaaaa. I don't think Mike was targeting the Tigers. I think Mike was targeting a guy that
he wanted to run his 7-14's. This is not a Tigers-Marshals issue IMO. A guy got hired, no one from the Marshals is trying to damage the Tigers...This is Mike wanting to hire Brett, a McKinney resident, to help our lil guys and do some lessons at The Ballfields...lets all remain calm...lets stay positive...We (me) have even called one of the dads with that team and helped with coach recommendations to help their cause...Lets keep summer baseball positive, the verbal swordfights and pot-shots are not in the best interest of amateur baseball in DFW...

I'd volunteer to be your running mate --- but the background check thing again. Actually, it's hard enough being pc here.

You're kidding right? Someone needs to open their eyes. The shots taken at the Tigers are an on going thing on this message board. The insinuations the snide comments may be meant in good humor but the bashing is still there.

That's what happens when you are at the top of the heap, or at least one of the top 3-4. But to sit there and say that the Tigers with such comments as the Kitty Kitties won't do this or the Tigers are doing that is amazing. Now granted its not an everyday occurrance but it happens all the time. And each of you know it. The hypocrisy on here sometimes makes me wonder if adults really think like that.

Anyway to say that the elite teams don't get bashed on here is simply not true. I'd like to thank Mr. Hernandez for setting the record straight and not stoop to the level of some posters and try to rebut.

Outsider -- my comment was in direct response to....

However, in the last few weeks, it has been brought to my attention that this site has been spreading rumors about my Dallas Tigers.

You are taking my comment out of context.

Bring on the evidence and stop feeling sorry for your team. Cut and paste, you obviously know how to do it. MOST of these organizations have mutual respect for each other. Please note that the Tigers are represented here as much as anyone ---- even if Tommy doesn't post. The most silent of the (DFW) top groups is the Mustangs. Cade and Shayne post occasionally and have displayed nothing but class towards each other and the other groups.

A comment like "Kitty Kitties"? -- you're kidding, right?

Oh, and if someone here doesn't agree with your thinking....he/she isn't necessarily a hypocrit.

I see nothing that shows an effort to discredit the Tigers program. Most programs get bashed from time to time (probably because you cannot please everybody). Let's try not to be so sensitive and get a thicker skin. Being upset by Kitty Kitties?

That being said, if you feel that something is inappropriate, please pm me and I will look into it.

Some people choose to remain anonymous. This is the internet. It only offends me if they do it just so they can be mean. Unfortunately that is the way it is. Some want privacy. I would stop short of condemning all who want to remain anonymous.

Since I was very involved in the process, I'd like to to add that when the BBI Premier Divisions were created this off-season many of the area's top teams and the guys that run them put politics and agendas aside to make it happen. We all felt like it was a very big step toward making positive change in DFW baseball.

I like to think that when it comes down to it we all have similar reasons for being involved in youth baseball.

PD,

Thank you so much for giving your opinion. I appreciate your thoughts.

It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing with me or you. It's a matter of fact. As I stated ribbing or otherwise the comments exist. You cannot deny that.

To say that it doesn't happen and that people on the board associated with a team doesn't do it is simply wrong.

As for copy and pasting, should I take that as a shot of your disdain for what is obviously true? Either way makes no difference to me. I have neither the time or patience to search every comment and bring you the facts. The facts are not always brought into play on this website. So why should I waste time proving what you already know?

However, for the record the Kitty Kitties comment is real.....just so you don't think I make this stuff up.

I wouldnt count on the Kitty Kitty'sKitty Kitty's ever joining the Premier league

How's that for credibility!

As for feeling sorry for a team, it appears that I have hit a sore spot and will undoubted make you even more mad with what I have just proven to you. Again, makes no diffrence to me whether you agree or not. Facts are facts....with that in mind the hipocricy comment stands.

I have no distain for you --- but I resent the implication that my post (the one you quoted) is hypocritical. My reaction was related to this particular subject and not the message board as a whole. That's the only sore spot you hit --- maybe I'm too sensitive.

I know comments are made from time to time -- you obviously uncovered one that was made by DP2005. I think his comment was harmless but that is just my opinion.

I respect your comments here and have no agenda in defending one group over another. For the record, my son will play for DBAT 16U this summer. I have respect for the other organizations. He has "guested" for the Tigers on more than one occasion. Tommy and I have talked -- I have no problem with the Tigers or TH.

Oh come on now, let's not all get upset over little things. If there is one truth on this board, that is the Mustangs are called the Evil Empire, the Tigers the Kitty's, DBAT just loves publicity and the Marshal's, well, they have ugly uniforms.

Lets not take ourselves or our son's teams too seriously.

KD,

I agree. My kiddo has played for the Tigers and will play for the Mustangs this summer. Both teams have been positive and he learned much in each situation. When I read Evil Empire or Kitty's or that every other post is a reference to DBAT, I chuckle.

Those all seem to be good-natured ribbing. Compare to some of Train's posts and you can distinguish between the two, JMO.

I am fairly new to this website but in the the 6 months I have been following the only thing I have seen or heard about the Tigers that would appear to be negative are posts authored by a Coppell/Tiger parent (he is currently on a HSbaseball web leave of abscence) ... his posts are not negative towards the Tigers (they don't even mention the Tigers) but they are a reflection on Coppell/Tigers organization.

BTW, this website has been fun to read and it has been educational as well. Hopefully we can continue to post and have fun....I am getting worried that every organization, every school, every coach is going to ban their players/coaches/parents from this site (kinda like the myspace bans). I hope it doesn't get to that point but it easily could if organizations get frustrated...

Yeah, we know DBAT isn't going to have a ban...this is great advertisement and a great source for recruiting for them.

(disclaimer - no comments were meant as a direct or indirect insult to any school, organization or poster)

PD,

I am not commenting to you specifically. The comment was a general one made by you, which I don't believe was out of context.

quote:

Of course it's neither here nor there on the specifics as it is a generalization, that it doesn't happen. But it does. As I stated I appreciate your comments and hate to drag this out so I won't. I respect your views and know they are meant whole heartedly and with passion. I just wanted to prove my point.

Bighit,

As I stated previously on 2 accounts.......

quote:

The insinuations the snide comments may be meant in good humor but the bashing is still there.

AND

quote:

As I stated, ribbing or otherwise the comments exist.

I am not going to beat the dead horse. The comments exist. My purpose of my comments was to thank TH for setting the record straight and not getting caught up in the fray. It has nothing to do with being thick skinned or otherwise. The sensitivity on this board is always and issue as you cannot properly communicate emotions when trying to convey a message. My last comment to you is ......derogatory or not the comments made by DP2005 exist and were demeaning. Good natured ribbing or just not liking the Tigers really doesn't matter. If it did I would have commented long before now.....so how's that for thick skin?

Anyway thank all of you for the last few hours. It was a blast! I love to be challenged, it makes the day more interesting.

To all,
Have a Good Day

Thanks BH.

On the issue of anonimity, most of us know one another's identity. If we don't, we ask.

Usually, we realize inappropriate posters aren't necessarily reliable sources. Thus they have limited or no credibility with the regulars.

Outside guy,

Tommy Hernandez and the Tiggers, Kitty Kittens, are a major and respected force in the DFW area and around the country.

I have observed this board a long time, and I know you can find instances where the Tiggers appear to be bashed, as you can many of the other respected major players.

If, ever thought it was truly disrepectful, I stand up and say so.

Players and coaches change uniforms, its all part of the game of musical chairs we play. Have you ever noticed the same thing happens in the MLB?

On this particular coaching change issue, it might not need to have arisen to the airing that its had here, largely in response to a young man's disappointment with the process.

Know that the vast majority of this board supports and respects Tommy Hernandezz and the Dallas Tigers.

All I know is, when my son was growing up, I would have given my left arm for him to play for the Tigers. He wasn't good enough. Things haven't changed much since then.

The Tigers have and always will be one of the most respected select organizations, if not, the most respected select organizations in the state of Texas.

Enough said........

Not as far outside as you might think, guy! Anyway as stated before.........the Horse is Dead.

Thanks for your comments for the Dallas Tigers.

OP, you don't have much of a left arm left...........

Ok, Who's Bashing the Tigers?

Sideline - You're a little late to this discussion

the horse has been beat and buried..

oops.....just got the call. I read a little.

Never mind. Old news.

Sideline - Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude to a first time poster...was just teasing you....

Welcome to the sight! We are glad to have you...post all you like!

Thanks, just heard about all the controversy. Thought I would start reading a little and find out the real scoop.

P Diddy .... got any more rumors we can talk about?

Sure! Got a hot one related to this same subject that reveals a lot. I think this one stays off the bulletin board though --- not worth the fuss, accusations, etc.

Was there really a controversy here? A guy leaves one team to coach another with added responsibilities and compensation and with his boss's blessing --- seems like a no-brainer to me. TH cleared all of that up.

Peace.

It seems like this has become a place for taking shots, not a place to discuss the move. That discussion seems to be over.

PD - I can certainly understand your reluctance to discuss "new developments" (sounds better than "rumors") based on where this one has gone but come on...how can you leave us hanging like this? You throw out a nugget and leave it at that?

You could always learn how to send private messages!

GULP! I'll work on that...

Tom-Tom ... is that really your post or did you have your wife write that ?? <--- smiley face...I'm joking - ok, ok, sorry ( and I've NEVER been one to remain anonymous, as you know!)

Mrs. Catcher and the 3 lil ladybug Catchers like our uniforms...I am banning myself from this site...

PS- No way Tommy wrote that post!

Mick,

I know what you mean! It's been that way for a loooooooooooong time now! It hurts just to lift it some nights after throwing about 1000 times a night.
