Sounds like you need to go with your instincts and nurture your partner a little more next time.[/QUOTE]

Actually, nurture might not be the best word. I really wasn't confused when I posted, I was just mad -- because I knew I was right -- and because I do 3 sports and have worked hard to get a good reputation in all 3 and am new to the area and and am having to prove my worth when I was becoming a "go to guy" in
VB where I lived before.
This year, in
VB especially, I seem to have been partnered lately with guys (and they are men) who are just there just to get a check.... don't watch the right places, don't mentally stay in the game, don't know the rules... and it makes us BOTH look bad.
I have enough pride and a strong enough work ethic that I want to do well every time out and I want people to earn their checks when on the field or court. As for "nurturing" ... the partner in question isn't going to listen. It's like we say on the BB forum, some nights you just have to get in, get it done, and get out." OK ... I've vented enough for
VB. Now I need to go blow some steam with the BB gang.
