Wow! I thought I had it rough coming up playing baseball.
This is interesting to say the least. Tim. http://apse.dallasnews.com/contest/2...se.fifth2.html |

Haunting
I have a 5 year old son. That story is way scary.
My son is cursed with his mother's perfectionism. How do let your kid know that it's OK to lose? I just want him to be happy. He loves sports, too...big Red Sox Fan (that's good). From Candy Land to going up the stairs to bed, everything is a race...and a two minute cry if he doesn't win. I love my kid but there is alot more losing in life than winning. That's a hard lesson to teach. D. |

I don't know that I have words of wisdom on how to teach your kid to accept a loss. But look on the bright side, he's training himself to be a success in whatever he does. You can't teach that either!!! Don't worry about the Sox thing. He's too young to know any better!!! |

Yeah Tee, why don't you start another one of those freakin' "what if" threads, so we can have at least something to discuss? I know, how about a nine year old exam question?....OH BOY!!!

For amusement, I visited some of the other "sites" this afternoon. (Yeah, I know, I'm gonna need another shower) There is a poster using an anonymous "handle", of course, who has taken it upon himself (herself?) to post items from one site on all the other sites and to post "warm and fuzzies" from some warm and fuzzy factory, on all the sites. It might interest you to know that he/she posts copies of your posts made here on Sleazteamz and McGripes. Then, debates begin without you being present to represent reality. One poster on Sleazteamz has even offered to check your facts. Amazing.

For the record Mr. Benham, my name is Tim. I sign all my posts with at least my first name. I make my e-mail address available on this site to any who wish to use it. If they use it, my reply will show my last name as well. I'm not hiding behind a "handle" as you like to put it.
Also, I never copied Tee's post and put it on the eteamz board. You are being deceitful when you say I did. I did start a thread letting others know what Tee had reported to this board. Many of them don't post here because they don't want to hear all the grief some of you give them. I attributed everything in the thread to Tee because I've always found Tee to tell it like it is. They deserved to know that there is a possibility that traditional mask accesories are being phased out. There are many umpires, players, and coaches on that particular board who I consider to be friends. I've posted a link to an article about a son killing his father for being pushed to far. This article should be a point of interest to some of us. We deal with these parents and players all season long. It's not like I posted a link about how best to change your oil. This was an article about baseball. I also posted a link to an article on the ABUA web site regarding a physically challenged player rising above his limitations and accomplishing what seemed impossible. This was a story of inspiration, and as the holiday season is fast approaching, I thought it might be a good read for some at this time. If this is what you consider to be a "town cryer", then by all means, you can consider me one. The post you're referring to on McGriffs was made at least three months ago. It was an e-mail sent to me by Tee on verbal obstruction. I asked him if I could post it before I did. He didn't have a problem with it, why should you? The bottom line is, all your comments about what should and what should not be posted is nothing less than censorship of the worst order. No one is forcing you to make all the snippy comments in these threads. Like it or not, I'm here for the party until one of the moderators throws me out. Timothy Haag. |

Do you always get excited about non-existing issues? The post you're referring to on McGriffs was made at least three months ago. It was an e-mail sent to me by Tee on verbal obstruction. I asked him if I could post it before I did. He didn't have a problem with it, why should you? Wrong. The post I was referring to was posted 11/23/05, but I can understand how you could get confused as to which post. The bottom line is, all your comments about what should and what should not be posted is nothing less than censorship of the worst order. No one is forcing you to make all the snippy comments in these threads. What comments? Didn't I suggest that SDS should post whatever he wanted? Didn't I suggest that this is a free board for anyone to post anything? Do you hallucinate when you read? I wrote an explanation of the history of this site and how it has changed. I did not suggest that you or any other little league umpire should not post anything you want. Like it or not, I'm here for the party until one of the moderators throws me out. That's obvious. I don't think I questioned it. You're here and there and there and, well, there. You seem to have assumed the position of program director. Talk about directing posts....are you the Tim(period) at what's left of McGripes? Timothy Haag. Any relation to Alexander "I'm in charge here" Haag?
