bullshite. Unscored matchups are for the neighborhood. Those were strictly for fun, and to be honest, we started keeping score there too as we got older. Any organized competition is about more than "fun". Competing is an end in itself.

I blame travel ball. Those kids are a bunch of pussies.

Uh, no. And don't call me 'big bear'. I weigh 151. How is your diet going?

When I was 11, I hardly ever scored unless I stole bases or was walked home. I never cried, just remember being pissed. My sport was football. I hope kids are better today at baseball than I was.

There has been moments growing up playing sports where I felt like crying. But I never did because I didn't want to look like a bitch.
Never during games or because I was frustrated or upset for doing something wrong.
I only sometimes felt like crying after my team was eliminated and I came to the realization that it's all over.

With all the arguing about how horrible it is to call a LL game on a 10-run "mercy rule", has anyone pointed out that there are also "mercy rules" in effect in D-1 NCAA baseball.
Those sorry-arse D-1 athletes! How wimpy can they be!
I think that's a great rule. The winning team gets a reward by saving its pitchers, instead of wasting arms on retiring a few extra batters.

I know it's not baseball, but John Curtis never turns away a young man who wants to play football, and they are a power house.

Crying has nothing to do with how tough someone is.

I get the feeling that Zach was physically and/or sexually abused as a child and has spent his entire adult life developing defense mechanisms to ward off the intrusive memories. His overcompensation on nearly every social and family issue speaks to a deep seeded desire for the normalcy that he never had.
His persona is such a caricature that I cannot believe it is the result of any sort of normal or adequate childhood. Dude has some deep wounds.

I get the feeling you're a sensitive homosexual. Ammirite?

I would suggest that you're being the physician capable of only 2 minute "conversations" where you're the expert in the room. I would really enjoy reading your reasoning behind this conceptualization of Zach. Low blow man.

You know they do that because little kids don't know how to hit as well as the pros, so they break bats a lot more? The aluminum is to prevent LL teams from having to buy a shitload of wooden bats they keep breaking when they can just have a few aluminum bats that don't break.
How much does an aluminum bat cost compared to a wood bat?
I'm certain that in the long run using aluminum bats save teams money but don't tell me that they are used instead of wood bats because little kids don't know how to use wooden bats and break a lot of them.
As young LLers we were taught how to hold the bat with the label up so that the bat wouldn't break.
Of course, we still broke some bats but that was all part of the game.
A broken bat will make the ball travel in weird ways and sometimes a broken bat single won the game.
There is no doubt that an aluminum bat makes it easier to hit a home run but apparently the parents and league want more home runs hit.
