I think its time for a lot of the rancor between posters to be resolved. If we want to make Little League and enjoyable experience for EVERYONE involved then it must be resolved.
As adults folks need to meet and take care of business off-line. Unresolved conflicts fester and people continue to get angrier and angrier. All the effort being put into responding, threatening and bullying is stressful on all parties involved.
Of greater concern is that such animus could jeopardize interleague. That is something that wouldn't be good for anyone. It going to be an exciting year and perhaps its time for all the adults to put things right.
Its time to take the high road and eat some crow.

You're right Chris. This B.S. is getting old very fast. I know we all are very excited about interleague but do we really want to get involved with these people? I know it's only a couple of guy's but thats all it takes to take down a league. Now these clowns are threating people. Whats next? The biggest conflict we get on the National side is about having to buy a new pair of cleats. I'm about ready to say screw it. Get them off our web-site and forget playing against them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We made some changes and compromise on both sides.
1-Have two games a week with at least 1 day in between games.
2-Mixing up the field locations so all teams have equal playing time at both parks.
3-What ever field you are playing on using their Home Field Rules
4-Each team will play the teams within their own division 2 times
5-Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday will be dedicated to the minors at both fields
6-Make up games will be played on Saturday from 5:30 and 7:30 and will be played at field that it was scheduled
7-Each team shall provide 1 game ball per game.
8-We will Inter-league both half’s.
9-Once the schedule is approved we will draw teams to go with the schedules numbers a lottery.
10-Opening day will be handled with our own leagues.
11- The Umpire on the field will have final say
Note: We also talked about a City Tournament that would include all 4 leagues instead of the TOCs.

Greenie, you don't like crow? Come on we all know the saying "let Greenie try it he'll eat anything" besides a little hot sauce and a wing is a wing, right and we all know how many wings you can eat.

Here's my half cent worth because its not worth whole penny. I come to this site because its fun and funny, filled with new and old friends. And on the rare occasion I actually learn something new about baseball. All this other "stuff" should be done face to face between the parties involved not on the site. I'm not a majors coach and I don't have a kid in majors so maybe I shouldn't comment and thats why this is only worth a half cent and not 2 cents worth.

Good points Chris. I think the concern about the negativity would be eliminated if everyone had to give their real name to sign up. The "regulars" never say too much to offend, mainly poke fun at each other in a good natured way. Occasionally we actually talk baseball and may disagree about a few things but it's never got ugly. The ugliness has only come from those that hide behind alias. I don't think any of the regulars have a problem having their name out their. Anyone of integrity wouldn't care. I know Scrapper has a concern about retribution but that can happen even if you don't post your real name... Very few people are going to be venomous if we all know who they are.

You can be a major's manager some day bubba. 4 years in AA next you move up to AAA for 3 years, at this point you will have the same knowledge as scrapper. Oh forget it you will never make the majors.

Hey guys I don't post much I just like to look at whats going on. Not being involved in either league I think once Interleague gets going it would only help the league grow it got kinda boring playing the same teams over and over again. And that is more from the players than the coaches. Randy I am glad you pulled it off and to everyone else that helped get interleague passed. You know once the games and practices get going you guys will have to start insulting each other at the yard rather than from behind the keyboard. Good Luck to all this year.
