Hey! Maybe we can hire this coach as a "motivational speaker" to come out West and work with the Mariners??!!?? Couldn't hurt, could it?? They could use a kick-in-the-butt. Let's see...possible awards: 1)To Joel Pineiro the "You Throw like Vanna White" Award...2)To Ichiro the "I Thought You Were Supposed to be a Good Hitter" Award...3)to Bret Boone the "Stop Being a Puss and Hit the Damn Ball" Award...have to think of some more... btw: anyone else catch the Jorge Posada: You Should Have Ducked Sooner play last night...ouch!!!

Good news/bad news kinda thing:

Good news is it won't change the way he looks.
Bad news is it won't change the way he looks.

There just seems to be a growing trend to take the kid's side in every disagreement with adults.
I dunno...if my 12 year old son had a middle school basketball coach who felt he needed to usurp my parental authority and publicly humiliate my son because he ran out of options with my son and he felt my son needed a kick in the rear then for sure my going after his job would be the very least of his problems.

Kick in the rear. C'mon.
Out of options for what!?!? What possible good resolution to any problem could come out of making the kid into a kicking post for a roomful of peers and parents? I'm with Dan on this one. No 13 year old deserves this kind of treatment for any reason.

Ya know Juulie, I'm starting to belive we are what is wrong with this country. Due to our over-protective attitude and willingness to shower TLC we're raising a bunch of kids who are simply too weak to stand up for themselves and live their lives afraid to put themselves in the way of adversity. What our kids need is a good kick, straight to the rear.

Hoo-f@cking-rah.

Dan -- Don't take it personally. You know you've done a great job. When your kid can get through what he's been through, he and you both should get medals. I know that's true for a lot of parents in the US, but it strikes me especially right now, when some soldiers are making others look bad. It's the TLC parents who've raised good kids like yours that make you proud, and give some hope for the future.

Of course I'm not taking any of this personally...and it for sure aint about wanting or getting medals.

It's about twisting ourselves into preztels trying to explain why stupid idiotic behavior might be justified. There's just a bit too much of that going on these days, don't you think?

And then to top it off with the equivalent of "...and THAT'S what wrong with kids these days..."

I'll tell you what's wrong with kids today.

Nothing. Not a damn thing.
