Hey...

[outathm]

I grew up on the West coast as a person and as an umpire and have now lived on the east coast for over 15 years. The East coast is coming along, ans a lot faster than the west, but when half of the states were still playing SP softball in High school as late as the early 90's it is going to take a while for the knowledge base and experience of coaches to catch up.

Shamrocks were the 18G national champions in this decade, with a majority of East coast players; VT did no hit USA with a VA pitcher, but these are the two examples that Easterners can throw out there. How many examples of West coast teams beating East coast powers are there?

I can walk over to the pre-school playground and get the same maturity I just read here. We're better than this, my friends.

I get what your saying and by no meens am I saying that the east coast has caught the west coast in softball yet but to say that east coast doesnt have "real players" is rediculous and that was the issue I was taking with wade's comments. Im about to go UMW ... you know what I mean

When I first read this, it reminded me of my time in the panhandle of FL and all the BS politics in Santa Rosa and Escambia counties back in the 70's.

Larry may be able to relate. When I lived there, the only thing in his town was a roadside picnic area off of US 90 (with a swimming hole occasionally visited in the dark of night), but he is right

Let's wrap this one up.

Unfortunately ... that hasn't improved very much. But I expect much less from politicians.

um... is this rhetorical?

VT beat Olympic Team California.. on a couple of IP's virginia umps spotted em. .. and some darn fine pitcher almost good enough to be on Olympic Team California.

Other than that, um .. just about every other time?

Wade:

Actually it was supposed to be rhetorical. The Umps were all mid west by the way. Nice job of selectively choosing which part of the response to quote though, you should be in advertising for the movies.

Hey? You sure them umps werent virginia umps trying to make up for 150 years of getting their buts kicked on EVERY field?

I mean, had VT done well in the WCWS (like perhaps winning a game or something), there could have been at least something to be proud of, and that would have been something!

Better stop sending those B teams east.

AHEM...
2 to Georgia
1 to Florida
1 to KC
1 to Texas
1 to TULSA, OK

Give one of my home town Tulsa teams some credit where it is due!!

No lack of credit. Unlike my left coast friend, I don't consider Texas or Oklahoma to fit the definition of east coast, and that was the point. But, its seems he sees them all as part of Alabama (when they beat Cali teams in Alabama).

On the other hand, just a touch more seismic activity, and we could make Arizona and Nevada the left coast, and end all that noise .......

THAT is completely untrue.

Florida is like a right coast Cali.

And the rest of you all are like that Appalachian Emergency room on SNL.

Wishful thinking that... especially after Wade's following post.
