I agree with most of your points oxinferno. I think most of the people that post regularly here and include their name are the kind of people that are open to change, willing to hear others out and have the ability to compromise. Most of the the folks that are Looky Lous or make venomous and derogatory posts without attaching their names to them have track records of not being open minded, flexible or having the ability to compromise. They may think they are anonymous, but we know who they are - and they've shown us even more clearly their true colors. This board is designed to have open (OPEN) discussion about all things baseball and you're right, some folks don't think anyone else 's opinion is wrong and so they attempt to vilify them. Even though you didn't post your name I appreciate the positive spin you made with your comments. I do disagree about love and fairytales... and I sometimes think heaven is what we make of our life on earth - but who knows? You are right about one other thing - running a baseball program should not be this damn hard.

I think your right Crash on a couple of things.
"I think most of the people that post regularly here and include their name are the kind of people that are open to change, willing to hear others out and have the ability to compromise."
"This board is designed to have open (OPEN) discussion about all things baseball and you're right, some folks don't think anyone else 's opinion is wrong and so they attempt to vilify them."
I think if people want to take shots, they can, I don't think it is right, but whose to say. I don't post my name, but I think I am pretty open-minded. I just think those who just take pot shots are going to no matter what.
I could be wrong but the regular poster, and we know who you are are here because of a number of things 1) the love of the game, 2) looking for information that will make people more knowledgeable about the game, equipment, etc. 3) To talk some smack in a good natured way, and 4) to highlight things that are wrong and find a solution to the problem.
I haven't met a lot of you or know much about the history of Little League in Turlock, but based on the posts and what is happening with (quality travel teams, interleagueing, City Tournaments to allow more teams to be part of a postseason) trying to make the facilities in turlock the best around. Things are looking up for Turlock Youth. I think the other people are afraid that the old school tactics are not going to work anymore and their reign of being an obstructionist, and devisiveness, and bullying is coming to an end. That is my two cents worth.
By the Way Giants in 07 baby.

Well said, I agree with all your points big guy. You may not post your name but we know who you are and you don't try to hide. In my book that's a stand up guy. I ws referring to the ones who don't let it be known who they are.

Mike, You said it. When a person who has no power anywhere else in his life suddenly runs LL and is given so much control to do what they want for there own benefit, you have a problem. I challenge Board Members to stand up for what's right and not be puppets to the plans of John or Bob. The Phillies were eliminated because they would have been the best team, along with the Orioles 2nd, in the American League. (Not AMerican East, they are way better). Who stood to benefit the most from that? John's team and Bob's former team. They kept the 4 player returning Dodgers, no offense Dodgers but you had a tough year last year and will be a rebuilding year this year. They got rid of the team who was the biggest threat on and off the field. They couldnt give an explanation to how the team was eliminated becuase the real answer needed to be kept quiet. When are people on the Amer. board going to realize their is a problem with the leaders? Sorry but sometimes the truth hurts. Waiting for the strong few to stand up and be the leaders that you were elected to be! Maybe we have followers and not leaders, pawns. I have full respect for Randy, he is a leader and great for LL. Dont really know the rest so maybe I'm wrong but really havent been proven likewise. Randy, Who wanted to get rid of Dwanye? Who brought up that the Phillies should be eliminated? Who was vocal in suspending me for 5 games and wanted to suspend me forever? I know you cant say but you and I and everyone here all knows. Did you know that I have never been suspended from anything in my life? Never school, work, never tossed from any other sporting event in my life. No DUI's. Nothing. Except LL for walking away in protest after my son was tossed for supossedly swinging his open hand at a kid. Walked away. My son got 3 games I got 5. Who has ever got 5 before and for what? For being a threat to John and for being better at running a baseball operation than him. That's for what. At the hearing John had me read the LL code of conduct. www.littleleague.org/common/forms/parentcodeofconduct.pdf Remember that. What a joke? Asked me if I think I lived up to that. Has he? But, the rules only apply to members not in the Good Ol' Boys Club. My answer was "Yes In Everyway I have lived up to that Pledge." What does he think I do for a living? What does he do? Any one know why John said he was not the manager of the A's last year but now says he is this year? What does that mean? He was all star coach last year, right? I am worried about Dwanye's son this year and how he is going to be treated. God forbid the A's draft him. Can everyone keep an eye out for this kid? I have asked for my $180 back from LL. I should have known better to think things have changed. Sorry, everyone but already had one son "railroaded out of the league last year" and not going to put my other kids through that too when it already seems like it's happening. I am sure the Amer. East and whole National sides are great leagues, unfortunately the American side is failing in it's leadership. If you need to have your kids toilet paper and egg my house, let me know and I will provide the address. L Boullion

boullion i was at that redsox-phillies game and had a great view of your kid taking a swing at the redsoxkid so his suspension was the correct thing to do.your actions as a coach and parent were uncalled for you should be embarassed for yourself.you looked like an idiot trying to pull your whole team off the field because things didnt go your way.you should have been kicked out of the league right then no questions asked.you have no place in YOUTH sports.

I happen to be on the board at that time and I know what was said behind those closed doors. Lance...you were railroaded. And there was other things that was done and said behind closed doors that was against the "LL rule book". Those of us that were there only know this. These kind of things are why I backed away from the board when I did. It's sad that these people are still running the board today. Let's just hope all the kids with the love of the game are out there playing this year, and not sitting at home because of all this adult drama.
BTW- I'm not talking about all the board members, nor the N/N South. These people know who they are.
