I think we spent $250+. Factor in the pants don’t last long for the fast kids. Multi-day tournaments means you need at least 3 jerseys. Jacket for winter ball.

The team spend the winter at the HS indoor facility and will play 60+ games this year so each kid requires $1,000 to cover costs.

Thanks for the concern Butters – I was traveling this morning.

Youth travel baseball rocks (if your kid can play). That is all.

But burying the hatchet? Not ready to do that yet.

Ya don’t say.

not even close to the same thing

Agreed that the defense was other-worldly bad. But burying the hatchet? Not ready to do that yet. At the moment, I’m just enjoying that we’ve got our head coach back.

then your roommate released it into the Everglades, naturally.

i dont remember what he ever did with that damn thing, but I do remember feeding him live mice. It was pretty interesting to see that thing kinda slither around the mouse and then coil around it in a split-second. Be kinda cool to see the photos with a high-speed camera frame by frame.

A lot of bigger Star Wars fans than myself have said that there is a great deal of good material in the expanded universe novels.

Base the next three movies on Timothy Zahn’s “Heir to the Empire”. Problem solved.

Just telling you the hatred is similar.

Guess Benson should have just been allowed to move the team, that way you’d actually have something to whine about

Came home one nite and he’s got in the living room, stretching it’s legs out, and it crawled up the underside of one of those plastic grocery store cooler stands. He wouldn’t come out, so I put a pair of gloves on and reach up to grab it, and hit hissed like motha-focker and took a lunge at me. Last time I came near a snake.

Even though one is completely different than the other.

He spared them a playoff loss (if they would have even made it with Payton coaching, I’m not so sure) since that team wasn’t going to be good enough anyway with that rot defense…probably time to bury the hatchet here

Who was it that was crowing the benefits of traveling baseball and spending the huge amounts of money on it?

I’m starting to worry about squawkbox’s well being since I would assume talk of youth baseball would have caused him to drop what he was doing to come here and defend it

I think he’s about 13-14. Oh shit, that’s just the jersey. She’s going on about the cost of the hat now.

Travel Baseball sounds like the fucking Mafia. Once you get in, there’s no getting out.

Definitely not Coop.

Speaking of snakes, how the how did they film the Preacher in Justified holding ‘dem dare rattlers? Some of those shots looked pretty convincing.

either fake snakes or they were defanged.

I guess people are hearing what they want to hear at this point

Yea exactly. I’m getting a fucking headache now just thinking about all this.

Team Ewok.

Ain’t no way in hell I’m picking up any snake, let alone a rattlesnake. My roommate had a medium-sized python (3-4 feet) that we kept in a fish tank in our bedroom.
