In case you couldn't tell........I'm trying to see how many posts I can make in a row!!
H5aB,
I didn't mean my post as a knock on anybody. I read both religiously. I believe that Jason supplies some content to this site so I was just trying to show him some love.
I don't know Fuda, but I have seen Miller, Slater, and Leftridge a whole bunch and Leftridge is the fastest - although not by much.

Ken,
You sure get upset when people start talking about who can beat who. I guess in your world it would be best if we didn't keep score, just play seven and watch the skilled youngsters. Well, I think since we do keep score....we might as well teach our kids how to battle and try to achieve victory. Good athletes are quite often good salesman....because they learned to compete. Real world stuff my friend!
Well you are correct................
They do keep score....and last I checked there wasn't a box score in any sports pages that I've seen yet.
And the last I checked there was nothing on this thread about the concept of teaching a kid to battle and achieve victory. Maybe you could enlighten us.
Concrete Salesman regards,
Ken Guthrie

Hands down, Leftridge is the fastest kid I've seen either on a sprint or around the bases.
This kid has world class speed. Mark that.
Cool your jets, young'un. I said nothing derogatory about anyone. Just paid a compliment to Miller, who has some serious wheels himself.
Jets haven't even been turned on..............
Just stating the truth.
No, just stating your opinion. The truth would have numbers with it.
4.34 on the turn. MMWS 2004. There is your fact. Confirmed by MLB Scout and I.

Don't let it bother you......brush it off and get em' on the next play.

Ken --- come see Slater, Emens, and other energetic Panthers play the game this spring!
Was able to see Slater play in the CMWS this past summer. Great player and better kid.

Leftridge ran a 6.46 60 at the 2006 PG National Showcase

No worry Uncle E, Just wanted to make sure you knew about the publication.. I think we got a real winner in this Total Texas Baseball.
While Miller is fast, he ain't in the same league as Leftridge, period.
And that's coming from his dad. Heck, there are 3 kids faster than my son at his own HS (don't play baseball). They used to run the 4x100 together back in Jr. High. The track coach thought about trying to get them back together this spring for a track meet, but after my son pulled his hamstring last summer, I don't think he needs to risk it.
Joe's 6.46 at PG was on a slow track. Heard he can run a 6.2 flat on turf.
That's Deion fast.
And again, I've seen plenty of fast kids play outfield that couldn't track a ball. Joe gets a huge jump on the ball which makes him that much faster.
Sit back and watch, the next Joe Leftridge is a kid by the name of Randall Thorpe at Colleyville. He's got a great bloodline too.

They are all incredibly fast, regardless of who has a slightly better time on a given day. Faster than probably 99.9% of the rest...

Well if everything was put in that tense, there wouldn't be any rankings.
We would just say this team is better than the others most of the time and teams would just go out there and play ball.
Imagine that.
If you truly dislike the hot stove talk that much, get off your backside and get out. Your grumbling won't be missed.
Come back in June, then you will have your results.
I've got news for you, even back in the days when baseball was the pure sport you moan for, there was hotstove talk. Didn't seem to wreck things then...

Hotstove????????
Is that what they call it these days?
I just love throwing that bait out there.
Fishing in January is fun.

You two are among my favorite posters -- it's fun watching you guys go at it. Every time there is an interesting discussion I wonder, "will oil mix with water this time around?"

Yes, prognosticators have been around since before you were born. Believe it or not, there was a whole world before you (or I) were born.

Please try to use shorter words.

If you think it's bad in baseball/sports, you should be involved in politics.....
Still a year away from the first vote and yet everybody is positioning themselves.
Still a year away from the first vote and yet everybody is positioning themselves.
Come to think of it, this baseball stuff is a lot like our nations political system.
-We got Repulicans and Democrats like summer ball and high school ball.
Both basically the same thing but everybody wants to make them so different.
-We got a President and a Vice President.
Kind of like a #1 and #2 pitcher. Both are needed but still it takes the whole team (congress) to win.
-We got Uncle Sam.
The same concept as the money spending in amatuer baseball. The harder you work, the more money they take. And in the end, you still are in the same place.
-And finally you have people like Jesse Jackson, Rush Limbaugh, and Bill Clinton.
Just like we have SWAC, Train, and that guy Texan who thinks he knows what he's talkin' about too.
You see folks, it's all the same.
So the next time you hear that ole' saying..........
"That kids not playing? Ahh hell, it's all a bunch of politics."
Think to yourself...... what's the big deal? It's the real world out there.

Light up the grill, Texan.
PDiddy, you'd make an excellent Congressman.
Perfectly addressing the problem without accomplishing a **** thing.
Who the hell it Ted Nugent.

Don't take away my idenity......it's me that idolizes the rock star who recently wore a confederate flag T-shirt at a congressional gathering in Texas.

Kenny,
I imagine you and me would be quite a magnet at a congressional gathering in Texas.
Both of us would probably be on the wrong end of the magnet.

Actually I was thinking on the same lines of FO with Hillary Clinton.......
But the thought of KG in a dress left me speechless/typeless.
Of course then we could add KG to Blackwell's Best Dressed List......oh no wait we can't do that,,,,,, he hates lists.

Not exactly.........just meaningless lists.
Having me on a Best Dressed list would be as accurate as it gets.
Even if it's in a dress.

Not to mention Kenny, who apparently doesn't even know enough to know what he doesn't know...
In that respect, maybe he is more Gore than Hillary.
Now run along and play with your bird dogs. I've got other things to do.

Oh.........the void you must have in ones life.
A man who cannot appreciate "man's best friend" must not be that man himself.
It's Ok Texan, keep dreaming for acceptance into the fraternity. The fraternity of the professional athlete.
It is only then can you truely understand the experience your lust for.
Until then, it's nothing more than a bunch of political mumbo jumbo.
"mumbo-jumbo" = BS..............that's how us youngsters say it these days.
