ah its the johns fault, not the streetwalker, huh? puh-leeze. where was the gun forcing LL to take the money?


beside you miss the POINT: its OK! that LL takes the money!!! but USE the money to IMPROVE the PRODUCT! why is that so hard to grasp?

I wonder if coaches have a forum where they sit around and criticize everything those volunteer coaches do. Perhaps LL can start paying coaches in order to get "higher quality" coaches out there too.
who give a fig about the coaches? why dont you FIND that forum and report back?

OMG you are funny. COACHES are there to WIN (ie bend rules, lie, bushleauge, etc). they are EXPECTED to act like ninnys sometimes if it gives them the advantage. Its only worse in degree now cause they are wearing mikes and we have to hear thier blather like 'foul off the bender, johhny' and 'give em the gas, petey'

UMPIRES are supposed to be EXCELLENT and NEUTRAL. I would say that MILLION-dollar TV contracts = the best umpires you can find!

LL would rather pocket those few bux to reward the 'sandlot lifer' and thats whats sad. GOOD sandlot lifer = come to wport! LOUSY sandlot lifer = stay home!
