Two of Ingrams best players, one of which is a pretty good 15 year old pitcher are still in the playoffs.

You guys are always brag, brag, brag on the (Rockwall) Tigers until someone points out the fact that at the 16 & 18 year-old levels they are not the team to beat. Then you become an excuse machine...
we didn't have all of our players...
we were younger than the other team...
they had college players...
wait until next year...
Well, next year's here again. What have they accomplished in BBI or AABC over the last several years? Nada. No titles and no championships at the Mickey Mantle OR Connie Mack levels. That's not talking trash - that's fact. The Tigers are renowned for escaping in the post season to the second tier tournaments.
I'm wondering what the excuse will be this year? C'mon guys, be creative. Remember playing for second place isn't so bad. Best of the rest and then the Kitty Kats can run off to the Snooper Series....again.

You're harsh. You struck a tender nerve with the bbi/aabc statement. Fact is, if rock and siz have been with the Tigers since 15, they have lost many battles to the Knights. As 15's they finished second in league play to the Knights, as 16's they won the BBI league only to lose in the aabc regional to the Knights. They went off and won the CABA world series only to come home to see the Knights won the Mickey Mantle World Series. The DMN had a 1/4 page write up on the Knights and a couple of lines about the Tigers. As 17's they lost three times to the Knights and got caught using an ineligble player and had the game protested on them. So it's understandable that they would be a little sensitive. Bookman be a sport and cut them some slack.

Hmmmph, Looks like the ballman might have been right posting Ingram's Kittys as a force in bbi. 11-4 over Dbat youngsters according to bbi site. NE1 see the game?
