Wow #5Alive you are so astute.
First of all here is the quote just so this is very clear: "With only 10 players on the roster this weekend we had to work pretty hard especially with the 4 games on Saturday. We look forward to getting two of our regular starters back next weekend for the Toledo tournament."
What exactly in that statement is demeaning to our opponents???? The fact is it was a long day Saturday. We got there at 11:00am and did not leave until 11:30pm. The 10 players that were there played really well and we did miss the two players that were missing. Oh by the way, we really look forward to maybe having them back next weekend. Again I ask what is demeaning here? Or is it something else?
Perhaps you don't realize this but many players read this forum as well. Did it ever occur to you that maybe we would like them to know that we miss them as well? Why do you have to read something into that statement that is simply not there?
Perhaps you should read my other comments about those teams in this thread as well. Like these:
" I think that both the Cobras and the Sluggers were two of the best teams that we have faced this season. Both deserve high marks. "
"Again let me be clear. I think that you guys have a very nice team. We have played some great competition this season and your team is in the top 3 or 4 teams that we have seen. Same for the Sluggers"
Finally let me say that I think you are reading way too much into my posts. I was responding to a question asked by KYsoftball and I tried to answer as best I could. That person and I have since PM'd eachother and I do not feel that there is any of the same concerns that you seem to have. I once again told them that they have great team, and we really wanted to play them again. They had a good game with the Sluggers that just got away from them at the end. I think it was 2-1 in the 6th inning.
Once again kudos to both the Sluggers and the Cobras, we have nothing but respect for both teams. No reason to be otherwise. I am sorry that someone else has to bring thier drama into this topic and sour it for you.
By the way its the Lil Slammers not the Ohio Slammers. Trust me even if we had 15 players the outcome would have been the same vs them in our scrimmage. I simply made the point there because I wish that the 3 players that missed that game would have had the chance to play against a team of that caliber. We are trying to hook up with them for a few more scrimmages before the summers over. It would be a ton of fun and a huge learning experience again. It has helped make us a better team. They showed us where we want to go, amd we thank them for that.
I guess it's all about the $$$$$$ They should of made out pretty good.................
