The Power of the HSBBWeb

Fastball Dad:

Not me! I love this website! I "meet" all sorts of new friends!

wow. i'm impressed with how dedicated your kid is. what team does he play for?. maybe i should watch out for him.

Dedicated? Not any more than a thousand others.....We aren't going to Flordia so he can throw....it's a vacation!

If you guys make it back to the supersectional, we are planning on being there again and we will have a re-match.

FastballDad,
The (you know who) are headed down to Florida to play in a 16U tournament in Cocoa, why not stop over and catch a game. Our schedule is posted at www.youknowwho.com
Just funnin with ya FastballDad, have a good time, I hear the weather is supposed to be close to 80 degrees. Where are you headed!

Baseball14, good luck to you guys in Florida this weekend. Bring home another championship! Enjoy the weather and the good competition.

You know if I was in Cocoa I'd stop by just to see what the fuss is all about. We'll be on the Gulf Coast.

Sorry sir, i didn't mean to offend you (?). I was trying to pay your son a compliment because i assumed you were going down for vacation and i thought it was very dedicated that your son didnt want to miss a bullpen (i'm a pitcher and i know i wouldnt throw if i went on vacation). Again, sorry for upsetting you.
P.S.- I would love to have a rematch against Barrington. I believe the rest of my team does as well.

Hey...I didn't mean to yell at you. A rematch would be fun...you guys looked like an up and coming young team. We'll have to get there first though!

And thanks for the compliment.

FastballDad,

Have a safe trip. Have fun!

Thanks 59...

Hopefully I can relax a little bit...forget about all the tough issues we are dealing with here on the HSBB Web.

My only regret is that I am going to miss the get-together...there are couple of people I'd like to choke....I din't mean that.. a bunch of guys I would like to talk to for sure.

FastballDad,
I know pitchers/catchers reported the other day, do you know if we can catch any glimpses of "workouts" this early? Been to many spring training games but never tried going this early into spring training.
Anybody else, have any info on this?

I've been to several camps in the past. All have been different. Remember going to the Twin's camp early one year and it was very easy to not only be there but to be up close....same with the Reds....Griffey Jr.'s first year there we were able to go early as well. Didn't have the same luck with the Yankees .....

It is more fun for me to go to the camps rather than the games. I remember Tom Kelly of the Twins being very freindly with the fans.....we were leaning on the fence just like you would at a HS game.

I always enjoy the camps more than the games as the players are very accesible during the camps. I have just sat there watching glavine maddox and those guys doing mirror drills and balance drills and then they talked with the kids that were wacthing as they headed to the workout rooms ect. It is great for your kids to see these high level guys doing the same workouts and drills that many good coaches are saking them to do now at there age. It seems to rally motivate them to keep on working.
