Heathrower96, I deleted your other post for being vulgar, along with a few from the past few days. Don't do it anymore.
rbitime - fyi, just use the EDIT feature by clicking on the middle "eraser" icon at the bottom right of the note you want to change.
rbitime, Everything is OK. 
rbitime, Dennis Rogers is one of the most respected coaches in the Southland. I think your son will be in good hands.
to be honest Riverside isnt the ideal location to be in California, but if your son likes it and is happy there, then by all means enjoy it and dont let others hold him down from having a good time. Hope he has a good year !!!
rbitime ...
For what it is worth ... coming from the mother of a former UC Riverside pitcher, who is herself an alum of UCR and whose husband was born and raised in Riverside ...
Just like any city, there are nice places to live and not nice places to live. I am sure the doctors and professional baseball players and lawyers and University professors who call Riverside home would be more than happy to show people the "nice" parts of town.
As for attending and playing baseball at Riverside Community College ... how can you go wrong with one of the best and most respected JUCO coaches in the country? And for those who don't know it, Dennis is the Manager of the Vancouver Canadians, the short season low A affiliate of the Oakland A's. He is a wonderful coach and does definitely seem to care about the young people around him. When our son faced his pro team earlier this summer, he spent quite a bit of time chatting with our son the next day. He told our son that he personally called our son's UCR pitching coach to tell him how well our son had done. You don't find that in a lot of coaches these days.
Good luck at RCC !!!!!

Thanks to all who replied, and I really appreciate your help; I just got into a bit of a jam didn't I???? You all are great, and I promise to double check other's posts before I reply 
Your right about Coach Dennis; my son (Corey) say's "Mom they are all great @RCC"

BabyBackMomma, I just have to ask if you don't mind what position did your son play??? Good for him to have been involved with UCR!! Also what is his name??? After all were kind of from the same area; who knows??? Our son's might know each other. Have a great weekend!!
