He is the parent that will pistol-whip the umpire for making a bad call on his kid. He plays to win. Greg-try checking out the feminine side, will ya? I think you need a fill-up on some compassion and sensitivity! :lol: Boys, you have to forgive Greg. He is the parent that will pistol-whip the umpire for making a bad call on his kid.

Imagine they will fit a Randy Newman song in there as she works her way around. G. – When Disney does do this as a movie that will likely be the rewrite.

If this were Tony Romo, that's what I would do ! G., Sorry, have to disagree with you on this one. I have coached enough youth sports to know that far too much emphasis is put on winning in amateur sports. The game was won when the ball went over the fence. I would take no pleasure in winning simply because the base runner went down with a torn acl. A victory with an asterisk is not a victory. "Sportsmanship is when to play hard within the rules to win and then congratulate your opponent at the end of the contest." I believe this is what transpired. Two girls chose to go the extra mile. “Boys would have stood around laughing.”

Now, had the girl crawled or hopped on one leg around the bases I would be applauding. Sorry, I play to win.
