So Saturday we go 0-1-1 scoring 10 runs in two games.

The team we tied went 0-1-1 scoring 8 runs in two games

Morons go by runs scored against to set the bracket, we had 19 and they had 18 (divide by two games) so due to .5 of a run we have to play at 8 am.

Whatever - We win at 8 am Sunday/game ends at 10:00 or so - next game 2 pm (what the frick), so we have to kill 4 hours with it being 105 degrees outside. By the time we got to the 2 pm game our kids were all needing an IV and a nap. We were playing at a Baseball Nations facility so the other team comes out of an air conditioned building 5 minutes till two and kicks our arse.


Braxton has the red arse and so does daddy

Sounds like Braxton’s team sucks and you don’t know the rules. You’ll have that

People are crazy to organize these events for a bunch of bitching parents.

Kids can’t just play baseball or have fun while doing it because daddy and mommy are arguing over a scheduling ordeal when they didn’t win a game.

Seeding tie breakers work that way so teams don't start acting like dicks against a weaker team and run up the score. Runs allowed is the first tie breaker, so if you want a chance to seed higher, stop the other team from scoring.

You should be upset at Braxton’s head coach since pitching and defense aren’t a priority.

And he has twin girls Paisleigh and Presleigh.

If you playing at 8:00 am on a Sunday morning your team sucks. That’s the start of the losers bracket usually.

We did for an hour or so, lunch.

It's hard to tell a bunch of 13-14 yr olds to sit in a car for 4 hours.
