Thousands softball-playing girls, outside the USA, have their dreams: Playing ball at the Olympics. Their dream, not the gold, just to play with and against the best at the largest tournament men has ever known. That dream has been struck. Not only because your mr Easton, apparantly, didn't vote for Softball. It's also 'cause softball suffer from the good name MBL has given to baseball. It's 'cause the belgian frog loves to golf (Rugby7's should be Olympic as well, IMHO). You may have a national problem with school-softball and the 18G-program. But please that's no reason, nor an answer for shutting the game out from the Olympics. The world is too large, to let your national problem be a global one. I'm still dreaming about 2020! It would be great if my son could play 7's-rugby with the dutch national team, and his proud dad would be calling games in the softball-tournament! I know, it's not gonna happen. The dream itself is great! In this "post-Maddoff" period, all we need is money! And in IMHO that is no-problem; we don't have any anymore! ![]()

It isn't the U.S., but California folks who believe the softball world revolves around them. ![]() Don't waste your time. I've been telling people for years that there is a lot of softball in Europe and Asia and they act as if it cannot possibly be. Americans are pretty arrogant and ignorant, at times. ![]() Many are still living like an adolescent where parents didn't know crap, but your 12 year old buddy from down the street knew it all 'cause he was cool! ![]() ![]() |

The olympics have turned themselves into a laughing stock, so convoluted with BS non sport sports like power walking, you cant even find a decent real sport to watch.. now even worse, Golf. Then they get rid of one of the few decent sports in the olympics - softball?!?!?! Probably the top in popularity in terms of a team in the US. (I dont know about Eurupe, its their votes that got rid of it, the idiot Easton only abstained) The olympics are officially lame.

I don't think Phil or any of the other Nor Cal Gold coaches committed to this tournament (or the others throughout the nation for that matter) would appreciate you lumping them in that catagory?

I'm sure he makes you quiver in your pants.. but thats not me. I respect him as a coach and when Stings pitcher joined Sorcerers I knew and posted they were the team to beat. I also have a lot of respect for Kim and the way she coaches and calls the defensive game.
But they have a chosen path. We'll just have to see how it goes. Obviously, ASA goes on... ASA wont curl up in a ball because a few teams left. There are plenty of teams. This is not the end of the world. Hopefully ASA takes the opportunity to improve some things, and HOPEFULLy bring some back - but for the rest, nothing can be done about them and no crying over spilt milk. At this point, they are spilled milk. The representation was a bunch of SP /non JO guys was forcing college players on JO ball.. when apparently, it never even left their own committee. I'm afraid this is on them, in the end.
