Tough draw for Tides, Niners, CJ's Oldtimer and Tailgators.

Best draw hands down:  Johnny and Mikes, Stover and New Way/Hurricane

CJ,
Let me get this straight.  You clearly think there is a top 5 tier of teams in the State...those being Stover, Niners, OT, CJ's, and Tides.  Because two of these teams MUST (there's no way around it) meet in the quarterfinals, you think CJ's and Tides have bad draws?  Seems cowardly to me.  

IMO, the only teams saying anything about a draw should be OverTime, Niners, Tailgators, and anyone outside the "top ten".  Once you get to the quarterfinals in a 20 team tournament, you should expect to play someone good.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!! Let's play!

BS#8 - Niners play a game Friday night first...

Kranny thats some great locker room material for the boys to hear!  Good luck next weekend, I'll see you around 12:30 around the concession stand, I owe you a beer or 20  

That's cool then, I'll get you a tenderloin while we enjoy the induction ceremony  

not overlooking anyone.  there are several good teams.  and several potential 1st round upsets.  lines will be out next week.   JP is that better?

Drew not scared at all.  Just first look at the bracket and my personal opinion.  I do not think there is a top 5.  I think Tailgators, Hurricane, Stadium can also beat anyone on any given day.  Other teams can get it done too.

s**t Pilch, You are old enough to have taught Rocky how to play!

He was a fast little   guy wasn't he?

Yogi - You must be confusing me with Paladin as I am not that old yet!!!   Just Kidding Kranny.

Congrats to all of them as they are all very deserving of this honor! And yes I can remember playing against all of them at one time or another.

Induction Ceremony 12:30

Congrats to all.

On a good note. I just talked to the president of the little league and all teams have permission to hit on those fields. They are located on the other side of the football fields. Just a walk down the bike path. Lights will be on friday night for the later games, if teams want to use that.

I am going to talk to concessions and see if they have any water proof socks to sell.

This is the most water i have seen at our complex.

pray to whatever god or deity you pray to for no rain and lots of sun!

yeah they won it. stover is washed up

Sandman thank you for your compliments.  We also need to thank Bill Blanchard your tournament director.

Chris Beal, Nick Goodrich, Haig Ngotel, Bob Jacobson and the McKeevers for their work on the diamonds trying to keep them in the best shape possible after all the rain the week before.

Thanks to the fans who showed up.  Great crowds all weekend which is great to see.

Congrats to the HOF inductees and good to see many of the HOF members there as well.

Weekends like these are what make my job fun.

A great tournament with some incredible games played which is what you want.

Thanks again to the teams and fans for making the tournament a success!
