BOTTOM LINE IS HOW MANY GAMES ARE YOU GONNA WIN WITH ZERO RUNS. GOT OVER YOURSELVES L.A. YOU GUYS GOT BLANKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somegirl is dead on........give it up already...why must we take away from a great win that the Lancers displayed to a frak accident...no credit to our girls just feel sorry for your girl.........the game went on as was played and the end result that is in the books is a Lady Lancer Victory....could you imagine LA and the excuses this blog would get when we beat them down in football.....thats right LA needs to grow some balls first before they challenge us.
LIFE...GET ON WITH L.I.F.E.?????????????????? WHY THE HELL WOULD WE WANT TO DO THATTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!! IT'S SCARY OUT THERE! HELL NO WE WON'T GO!!!!!!!
LIFE???? YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT LIFE???????
IT WAS A ACCIDENT!!!! GET THE HELL OVER IT!!!
PEOPLE GET HIT IN GAMES ALL THE TIME. WHY IS THIS TIME SUCH A BIG DEAL...
THE RUNS WERE SCORED BEFORE HER HAND GOT HIT SO
STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS..PARENTS GET OVER IT!! ACCIDENTS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.. LWIN IS A GREAT ATHLETE AND SHE WOULD NEVER DO SOEMTHING INTENTIONALLY LIKE THAT... AS WELL AS MARTIN WOULD NEVER CALL SUCH A PLAY. IT WAS A FAIR GAME..TAHTS IT..AMAT CAME TO PLAY..NOT COCKY JUST CONFIDENT. SO STOP CRYING OVER THIS GAME..WASNT IT LIKE A WEEK AGO! U PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY HAVE WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON UR HANDS..THIS GAME MEANT NOTHING..
MOVE ON WITH LIFE!
Thanks Joe for the kind words.
I see the Pizza Party idea causes some people "heart burn"...me I'll keep doing what I'm doing right with my kids and leave football alone. Besides most people really don't have a clue what it takes to build a program or to motivate kids..it takes honesty, commitment and sacrifice. By the way my youngest boy was voted "Viking of the Year" on his school's 7Th Grade basketball team this past season. That's alot of "Hardware" in one year! lol
Damien bloggers might not have liked what I said about their program but the truth is I've talked to several parents and coaches and they find it "incredible" that after all the success they accomplished this year NO ONE SIGNED ANY LETTERS OF INTENT. (i.e. FREE COLLEGE EDUCATION) Well too late to cry over spilled milk. All those senior parents aren't blaming me for that as well are they? Maybe now when they ask for advice I'll just say what I should have said all along..."Boy he's good! Never seen a finer athlete!" Next season should be very very interesting.
As for the Two Face comment....well what do you expect....I know my boy signed!
"Not fooled by your too faces".....Well I guess I found my April Fool.
Always in good fun and never personal. Just enjoy a good debate. And no different than an athletic schedule, it's much more fun when the opponent has a little game and can bring it. Win or lose.
It brings out the best (or worst !:?) in us.
A performance like MC's starts long ago when his academic habits were formed. We need to start when they enter school and stress the importance of that performance. By the time high school comes around it's pretty late to start thinking about that.
So many chase the "golden ring" when academic aid is the only sure thing. And as you found out, the better the grades the more $$$ you get. Many of the local smaller private schools *guarantee* full tuition for students with high GPAs. We sit here and talk about sports and kids want scholarships, but those numbers are so small.
In Football about 5.7 percent, or approximately one in 17, of all high school senior boys playing interscholastic football will go on to play football at a NCAA member institution.
About 1.8 percent, or approximately one in 50, of NCAA senior football players will get drafted by a National Football League (NFL) team.
Approximately eight in 10,000, or approximately 0.08 percent of high school senior boys playing interscholastic football will eventually be drafted by an NFL team.
In Men's Basketball it's worse:
Less than one in 35, or approximately 3.0 percent, of high school senior boys playing interscholastic basketball will go on to play men's basketball at a NCAA member institution.
Less than one in 75, or approximately 1.2 percent, of NCAA male senior basketball players will get drafted by a National Basketball Association (NBA) team.
Approximately three in 10,000, or approximately 0.03 percent of high school senior boys playing interscholastic basketball will eventually be drafted by an NBA team.
You guys took care of business from the get go and didn't leave anything to chance. Way to go!
You los altos bunch of cry babies idiots, so the girl got hit so what! next time she should get out of the way and hit it with the bat instead of her hand.
She broke her hand and threw a 4 hitter? BS i dont believe that crap. Bet you she starts the next game
Frank/Damien Dad/Retired/whatever. Congratulations to your son. You are still a dick. Stick the pizza up your ass.
Thanks Joey...sorry about the BS it was fun at times and other times I just wanted to %$%^$%^ you but those days are over for me. Good luck to your boys and to the Men in Blue.
Here's my son Matthew's final record:
University of Southern California Marshall School of Business (full ride)
Colgate (full ride)
UC Santa Barbara (full ride)
UC Santa Cruz (full ride)
UC Riverside (full ride)
Gonzaga (full ride)
St. Mary's (full ride)
Northern Arizona (full ride)
Harvard (interviewed but got the news bad on Wednesday that he wasn't getting in.)
I think Harvard lost out but hey he was in it until the end and being in the running is an honor in and of itself.. 8 out of 9 scholarships ain't bad for the son of the worst Dad @ Damien.
So much for being a disgrace to that school or being the worst dad there, huh? Funny but the DHS bloggers bagging on my kids never really had a chance when I knew the kind of kids I raised. And yes I can take credit for their development. 28 years of marriage stands for something and I just know my kids appreciate and know what their Dad is really about.
Joe about that "big envelope" man does USC make you feel special or what? Seen that "Certificate of Admission" letter. I'm going to frame it and give it to his Grandpa. Colgate ain't bad either...they send it Federal Express! $49,500 a year, for four years is tough to pass up as well. In the end I'll leave it up to my son after we visit both schools.
As far as my "other" non football playing son Zachary. He's doing just as well and was voted Outstanding Frosh/Soph Wrestler of the Year. He just came back from a wrestling tournament @ Santa Ana High School where he took 1st Place at 189 lbs Freestyle. But never really had the power, speed, strenght or toughness to play football for two years...yeah right!
Either way I'm proud of all my boys and know that people can say what they want but in the end "the cream rises to the top" inspite of the nonsense. My father used to say, "Only an idiot expects to grow oranges with an apple seed." And somewhere in there is the truth about the nonsense I went thru.
You know a "Bloggers Pizza Blast" would have gone a long way towards creating harmony and goodwill within this blog but you know it's never too late and it proibably would help for next season. Maybe Aram would consider writing a piece on the "peace".
As far as the "Coronas" ...they're on me!
Damien Dad is no more...finally.
alright you guys need to chill on both sides the game is done just drop it grow up shit....as between football game LA vs. Bishop its never going to happen you know why? its not because Greg Gano dosent want to schedule it, or the coach from bishop wants to schedule it....the winner of that game will obviously get more atheletes into the school. LA and Bishop are at the top programs in the SGV and they want the top athelete's to go their school. Athelete's always want to go the best school's and the loser of that game means that their program is not good enough as the other...so stop your whinning both LA and Bishop the game wont happen
Retired,
That means he got the "big envelope"?
Congrats !
Wait 'til he walks across the big stage. Then you really realize how fast it goes.
Go have a "Corona"!
You earned it !
Pissing contest over...it was fun but don't want to hurt my son's good karma....Joey, Blu, Bleeder, Amat 73...hope you guys find what you're looking for...I did. Enjoy the kids as long as you can.
Fight On!
Tio Gallo, Tio Tony, Tio Juan, Tio Beto,
You all are acting like the Original T.O. (DALLAS COWBOYS)...Los Altos TIO'S Chion's....now stop your sniveling and get back to cheering your team and less Amat bashing....LA is on the other side of the fence right now and they dont like it....Deal with it...SCOREBOARD!.
LAC,
Really? Embarrass? One of the very first posts in this thread was from an amat guy saying, "Huge upset LA your team was the team to beat...we were the underdog...upsets happen.. I am sure your girls will bounce back. Remember our girls have lost to some teams they should have beaten but those other teams get up for big games...no differance Bishop Amat got up for this game...you will be back LA....."
Thats not giving another team credit?
And you were the FIRST person to post on the earlier Los Altos blog when you said,
"...LA is on a roll and has beaten pretty much all the teams that are left on there schedule already. Do I smell an undefeated record? Right now BOTH the Offense AND Defense seems unstoppable..."
Coming back to haunt you? Who's embarrassed?
that same day our own bluorca says,
"...Lady Conquerors are just too freakin good in softball...Good luck w/ the season and may you continue to kick some azzz!!!..." and john, an amat alum says,
"...Great job LA Softball..." followed by, "Wow, are we forgetting that this blog is about the Los Altos Team. They are in the best start of any school in the velley in a long time.
Let them enjoy it..........."
That's not giving another team credit?
But you, LAC, continued and provided the Lady LAncers all the bulletin board material that they needed to settle it on the field - AS IT SHOULD BE!
Pico de Gallo,
What a bunch of sore losers LA has, especially LAC,....geeze your girls softbal team takes one loss to the total underdog Amat and you feel like you have been bitch slapped....well you must be used to it....go ask Gano How the OC kicks his team ass every year, even tho he has stolen / recruited players outside of the HLPSD.
Love the Amat crowd you have to embarass them before they give anyone credit. Live for the rants but really enjoy the "just leave us alone" comments. Like all bullies Amat loves to brag but hates getting hit in the face with a mirror.
Bluorca the last part of your spout was all I was after...thanks bitch. I own you. It's whale season again. Blow harder! I miss it when you get all twisted up in my bitch net!
And now a word from our sponsors "Chicken of the Sea!" LMAO
As far as Aram...he's a big boy and does a great job so maybe this venue of "crapping on kids" means sometimes he gets a little on himself. He might do better to monitor the non sense a little more. Don't you think? Present company included.
Here's an idea: Give everyone passwords and have the bloggers give their real names to Aram...just in case things get out of line. Call it the "chill out" system.
What's this about? Obviously, it's not Softball. Really, everyone needs to get a grip. It's sad when people or should I say Adults....start acting like this. It's a game, it was an accident. Please, move on. This is not good for the girls.
who the hell is tio gallo????
i can't believe there was so much hype about LA this early. come on, get at least half way into the season. all high school softball coaches have to play some time or other without their best players. good coaches can over come this. people were talking about sarah farnworth being on her way to d1. you have to be kidding. injuries, grades, family vacations, SAT's, parents, these are all reasons hs coaches don't get their full teams all the time. as for walt martin. i have coached against him for 7-8 years now at the hs level. he would not throw at a hitter period. his pitcher, whom i have known for several years, wouldn't do it either. i guess, if you don't have something to complain about, you're not doing it right...
Forget The Loss...Pity Los Altos....For Having Fans Like Tio Gallo
What an absolute embarrassment for Los Altos to have someone like Tio Gallo publicly throwing a tantrum over this loss. I knew this was going to happen. I knew that if Amat found a way to upset Los Altos, cockroaches like Tio Gallo would be so pissed that they would rip their hairy limbs to escape their hotels, come on here and bitch and complain about this or that.
There was so much hype surrounding this Los Altos team the one would think that they would have been able to beat our lowly Lancers even without the services of Patterson. Or are we really to swallow the excuse that because Patterson was injured, Los Altos lost the game. This was supposed to be a Los Altos blowout remember?
Rather than stick to game facts or stats, Tio Gallo instead chooses to attack not only team Amat but the school itself, Aram, and Amat's football team! I think someone is a bit sore over this shutout wouldn't you say? All of Tio Gallo's sobbing will not reverse the outcome of this game. And when you mentioned that the Amat men were not "taking it upon themselves" where you referring to our CIF champion wrestling team, our undefeated baseball team, or our short-handed football team that beat a team that beat Los Altos? Please elaborate before someone thinks you an imbecile....AH CRAP! TOO LATE!
Anyone that HAS a degree (like moi) or DOES NOT...knows that some of the best writers in history have never stepped inside a university. Only a moron would judge a person's intellect based only on whether or not they have a degree. Trust me sir, I was a university student for a long time and I'll tell ya....some of those most idiotic and asinine people I've ever come across attend and have graduated from the top UC and Cal State systems. Now is the part when you counter with some dumbass statement claiming that I am downplaying the importance of a university degree, etc. You are pathetic even before you write your next entry.
Wanna know what qualifies Aram for his job? It's his PASSION for Prep Sports in the San Gabriel Valley. It is because of his and Robledo's efforts that we are able to come on here today and discuss prep sports. Unfortunately, we gotta read your garbage as well but I'm willing to make sacrifices. As far as Aram being biased (which you obviously think) he has been one of Bishop Amat's greatest critics and basically, he calls it as he sees it and I respect his opinion. Now is the part when you call me a "kiss-ass" You see, Uncle...I know you better than your mother does. And I think you are all armpit.
In short, it's not Aram's fault that many of the headlines you see today involve Amat. You want to blame someone, blame our Lancer scholar athletes which include some of the most talented and brightest kids not only in the SGV but the entire LA county.
Patterson is a Conqueror and she too fits into this category. I do wish her the best of luck and the quickest healing. You dishonor her, her team, and Los Altos with your blind, sweaty, malaria-like induced rants.
Do Amat and Los Altos a favor...crawl back into your roach motel, super-glue your torn limbs back onto the ones you left behind and rot. If anyone has a need for a half-witted sore loser of a crybaby, we know where to find you.
I feel like a surf and turf burrito for lunch...or perhaps some nachos...decisions, decisions....
hey sh t talking,
if they won't show up for a football game what makes you think they will show up for an ass whipping . Many have tried and all have failed and got the ass whipping of a life time.
Tio Gallo,
Just remember whose site you're wasting time on. That should answer all your questions.
Uncle Chicken SHI-,
You are just reaching now. Bottom line is LA lost to Bishop with that undefeated on the line. Tough losing to that private team to the north of you.....let it go.....Your pitcher is a tough girl and yes hats off to her for continuing to play thru the pain...there was nothing intentional about the pitch other than "IT GOT AWAY"....As far as the host not having his college credentials means absolutely nothing.....I have met many successful and bright people who make big time money and run successful businesses not to mention own them that are HS grads only no college...I have met the college degree person that does not know Shi- and is pouring coffee for a living.......If Aram can write and we are all here so he must be doing something right then he has found his niche and is happy with what he is doing and is happy with the money he is making and he has a roof over his head and food and money to spend then all is good..........College education is good and I recommend for all but there are some real geniuses out there that get it done without college...I hate those guys because they did not put in the time but you have to respect them the same because they made it happen.........LA talk all you want you do not want to play us spoiled rich kids in football..........
Why dont both schools just box it out!
and i say LOS ALTOS WILL WIN IN THAT!
....Hands Down....BitchUP....
RummmmmbBle!.....
I am the ORIGINAL Bleeds Blue and Gold, accept no substitutions.
football watcher, you are funny. Problem is that your boys don't want to schedule our boys so keep dreaming.
uncle chicken, NO ONE from Amat is glowing about hitting the pitcher, just that we won the game. Injuries are a fact of life and she will be back. We wish her well.
PS I have a grill and some sauce with your name on it.
footall watcher
You have no idea what you are talking about. i have heard that line about spoiled rich kids since my days at AMAT. One of my kids just graduated recently and most of her friends were from middle class families as they were when I attended. Their parents know the value of a good education and sacrifice to give their children that opportunity as my parents did for me. As for la playing AMAT keep dreaming because you know it will never happen . As for uncle chicken we do have class but your eyes are so full of hate towards AMAT you would never see it if hit you in the face.
Typical Aram.....trying to protect the integrity of old school coaches. What if I were to tell you that I talk to some coaches around the valley, people you respect dearly.....and they said that you can't put it past Coach Martin to do something like that. He is old school. And in a situation like that, how can you tell people to go seek counseling if they thought it was intentional. Why is that so hard to believe? And when you talk to people of LA, did you ask Coach Farnworth? Because I know for a fact, she was very upset. Don't be so naive! It's just to bad for DLP. She's the best player in the Valley.
Question is how did you get on the ladder?
Must be the Armenian connection....worked for Sarkissian. lol
Still it's kind of wierd promoting the value of an education through sports when the writer who's interviewing you doesn't have his? Even when doing it part time or on-line would set a good example. ( Need a sponsor?) By the way how does someone get a gig writing for the local paper without a college background?
And I think that "ride" was provided by your boss. Don't take credit for that. By thanks for the comment I love it when you get your feathers ruffled from time to time....all part of your dues. Considering "some people couldn't write their way out of a paper bag with a degree" remember that jewel?
Would love to see an article about all the football signings of your Top Ten position players from preseason football.
Enough people! Those of you who are acusing Bishop Amat of intentionally throwing at the Los Altos pitcher obviously don't know Amat's coach -- Walt Martin. The former Wilson coach would never order one of his pitchers to throw at another team's player. In fact, I would so far as to say if Walt found out one of his pithers purposely threw at other player, he might suspend or kick that player off the team. There are some coaches in the area, both baseball and softball who might give that order, but not Martin. He doesn't get into the little jealouslies like other coaches. He wants to win, but he's also a huge softball fan and a big fan of the area's athleltics.
Tio Gallo,
Guys like you will be saying "but he doesn't have a degree ..." about me all the way up the ladder. It'll never make sense to you, but yet here you are. Enjoy the ride, buddy.
you really need to stop arguing about this game
its over!!!
good game both of you!!!
as for football
L.A. will take Bishop any day
all they have is a bunch of rich lil spoiled kids
L.A. has hard nosed kids that are great football players
GAme of the year would be L.A. Vs Bishop!!
Here's what hapened. The ball was going to hit her in the HEAD and she ducked and put her hands around her head to protect herself. What is so difficult to believe. No one is saying, as the Amat stupid are...that Amat went to pinpoint her wrist. Get a grip, find out the freakin facts and let it go you classless bunch of arrogant son of a guns. If she hadn't protected herself she would have been "BEANED" Now THAT'S missing the plate don't you think? Then what would people say if she was beaned and was out for the year.
Beside how stupid are you to NOT understand that any athlete that continues to play with a broken wrist/hand must be a stud or in this case STUDETTE...which Amat has very few...if playing hurt is any measure of an athlete. Mock her if you will but that's not what Catholic school students/parents/ or ass wipe writers without a freakin degree could understand. ( is it any wonder that the writere who covers "high school sports" doesn't or hasn't gotten his degree in what 20 years since his last graduation. This ain't the 40's and you didn't come back from the Army.
Go back to school and look up "context" and get your head out of Amat's ass. Hell do it on-line.
Jeeeezzz Amat instead of bragging take the high road, even when others don't, and show you have class. Patterson and LA has come through like champions time and again. And will again. As far as Amat ....the "women" are taking it upon themselves ...cuz the men ain't!
I stopped caring what people thought about me around the time I got one set of emails telling me I covered one team too much and another set saying I covered that same team too little.
Aram
Thanks for the clarification .If you don't be careful some people are going to think you are an AMAT alumni.Too bad for the young lady from los altos. It is always sad to hear when an athlete is injured. here's to a speedy recovery so she can continue with the tremdous year she has been having . she showed great courage by continuing and finishing the game. a tip of the cap to her.
Is Martin a walk-on coach? You can't trust walk-ons to be ethical. I thought amat was getting rid of all walk-on head coaches.
AMAT VICTA!!!
Congrats to Our Lady Lancers for their stunning victory over the best team in the SGV.
Of course, some LA fans are being pathetic and screaming about a bean. Too bad the game was a SHUT OUT! Or did our pitcher bean every single batter she faced? hmm...
Don't look now but someone is 11-1! teehee!
AWESOME JOB GIRLS!!!
*waits for counter-attack*
It's confirmed, she did break her hand. DLP is expected to miss four weeks under the best case scenario.
For any of you suggesting that Walt Martin, Lwin or Amat would throw at her intentionally, please go seek counseling.
It was an unfortunate event, but you're throwing some good people under the bus by suggesting any intent. And the people at LA I spoke to don't think that was the case either.
Very True a pitcher can bean anyone at anytime..including your coach with her eyes closed...but to say and pinpoint the wrist was the target is ridiculous......we broke her hand on purpose ...we diliberatly did this, is a crock...It happened, be done with it, and stop crying...it is too bad such things happen in sports but that is the risk you take...Parents know they are putting their kids at risk when they allow them to play contact sports.......Deal with it..move on and let it go..it is unfourtunate for her but I think you Los Altos parents are taking it way out of context not because it was Amat that this happened against but because without the Studett your season may not be as rewarding and you have to put the blame on someone...now that is selfish....Someone else just has to step up for your girls team and maybe Patterson comes back this year....who knows?
It should be noted, however, that amat's only 2 runs were in the top of the first - prior to D-LP getting hit in the bottom of the first. So all the runs were scored prior to the "controversial" HBP.
So definitely a gutsy performance by D-LP, but no matter how healthy she was, she could not have done any better than shutting amat out over the final 6 innings as she already did.
Not Roger Clemens or Pedro Martinez.....I can guarantee you if Dianna-Lynn wanted to hit one of their batters...she could! Los Altos Head Coach Sarah Farnworth.....who by the way is an Olympian pitcher can bean you with her eyes closed. These girls can do anything the guys can do if not better. Stop being ignorant. You say a pitcher would use that to their advantage. How funny, it was their coaches who were calling pitches.
Go ask Ron Cey if the pitch he took from Goose Gossage was intentional...It was one that got away and that happens....It could have been anyone of the Los Altos girls but because it happend to be the studett Patterson it becomes intentional...I dont think you can fault the pitcher or the coach for throwing at some one, heck, this is girls softball....but I get your case about intentional beaning but these girls are not Pedro Martinez or Rodger Clemmens...it was an accident....
Los Altos not only got beat and their streak snapped but they got SHUTOUT!...now maybe just maybe their parents will SHUT UP and come down off that pedestal and treat Amat with some respect. Respect works both ways and now you are on the other side of fence and I know it is not feeling good right now.
was there
How can you be so gulible as to think our pitcher has such good aim that she put the pitch right on the girls hand to break it. I know you people have held us in such high regard but let's get real. If it was indeed intentional as you say why would our girl start thowing outside after the incident.Any other pitcher would have used that as an advantage and keep throwing inside. That should tell you it shook her up also and she became cautious after.
Read Uncle Tony's (former Lancer) comments about the game. He was there. Seems Patterson was trying to cover her head as a pitch was coming in high and at her head (again no one is saying intentional) and she broke her hand THAT way!
He puts it on the Amat Head Coach. But who's to say if it was just suppose to give her something to think about and things went bad from there. Still Amat most of you were there and still no mention of her (Patterson) courage. Classless.
1) Thought so.
2) You're right she is.
3) Right about not intentional. Wrong about you not being classless.
Facts.
1)Didn't see the game.
2)Patterson is a true competitor, very courageous and I wish her the best.
3)Every hit batsperson is not intentional and classless.
Joe did you see the game? Her hand is broken. She pitched with a broken hand. And you Amat "classless" have nothing to say about her courage?
Mighty Are The Classless Who Appreciate Great Courage....and that ain't you.
Los Altos wins in a landslide.

So I'm guessing that D-LP has not hit any batters this year in their 12+ games.
And if she did - was it automatically deemed "intentional", classless, and the only way that LA could win.
I think not.
J-Rob.....your are orginal.....Get a life!
If you guys want to take thing literal and in order then here's how it went. Patterson was up in the bottom of the 1st and they peg her and broke her hand. Then rest of the game she's pitching outside. All I know there this girl who works harder than anybody else. Every practice she stays after for an hour or two and works on her game. Now she might be out for the season because of a cheap shot. Spare me with your it's all part of the game crap.
With all the bashing LA does to Bishop Amat here did you think we would keep our mouths shut and not jump on this win at your expense...?...be careful what you ask for you just might get it...oh you did get it....better luck next time...
So that's how Amat won!
Not surprising.
Patterson is a studette if she broke her hand and finished the game.
Here's the way it's done:
Great game Los Altos. This should make for a great rivalry between our two fine schools. Hope your pitcher is okay. She was tough. Good luck the rest of the season.
Signed the Amat "Classless" opps the Amat Lancers.
Get a clue!
Injuries are part of playing sports....nothing intentional...You didn't honestly think you were going to go undefeated did you...What better team to do this than our Amat girls...Huge upset LA your team was the team to beat...we were the underdog...upsets happen.. I am sure your girls will bounce back. Remember our girls have lost to some teams they should have beaten but those other teams get up for big games...no differance Bishop Amat got up for this game...you will be back LA.....are you sure you want to play us in football?
I am the ORIGINAL Bleeds Blue and Gold, accept no substitutions.
was there,
Get your story straight before you start typing, it makes for a more interesting read AND more credible.
I'm wondering, if this had happened against another school, would you all be bitching and mosoning like you are now? If this was intentional, why didn't the ump say anything?
was there
Are you sure you were there. First you say our pitcher was pitching outside all game long then you say that she beaned her in the first inning. which game were you at. oh and by the way up and in is part of the game , but only when it comes to AMAT does it become dirty ball.Again sour grapes . You are starting to sound like the people you claim us to be . Excuses, whinning , and crying.
So tell me, Patterson broke her hand in the 1st inning, and continued to finish the game, This paper says she pitched a complete game 4 hitter.
By the way, they decide to beam her in the bottom of the 1st. As usual, Amat is shows no class. I hope your proud of yourselves. Now Diana is probaly out for the season.
What a coincedence. Patterson up to bat with 2-0 count. The pitcher who by the way, was pitching outside the plate all game long.....decides to come up and in on Patterson and breaks her hand. Way to go Amat.
uuuuuuuuuummmmmmm....smug and classless as usual.
Nice going Joe....you are without a doubt an a hole.
Say it ain't so Joe...in 1..2..3...
uuummmm.....never mind !:?)
