Northview tournament begins Saturday
Northview is not in the Northview tournament, but Bonita, Diamond Bar, Charter Oak, Walnut, Covina and surging Pasadena will be there. The Vikings will be in the National Classic the following weekend. For the Northview tourney schedule, click thread
This is so good, I'm posting Don's latest line
Diamond Bar: 8/5 because they say they're great
Bonita: 3/2 because everyone else says they're great
Sonora: 5/2 because they've played a tougher schedule than anyone else
Del Oro: 7/1 because nobody knows nothing about Loomis
Charter Oak: 9/1 because counting out the Chargers is just crazy talk
La Serna: 10/1 because they are first place in the Del Rio
Walnut: 15/1 because they're bipolar
South Pasadena: 20/1 because half of their runs came against Blair
Pasadena: 25/1 because they beat Crescenta Valley and Western Christian by the same score
Montebello: 25/1 because they are from the Almont League
Santa Fe: 33/1 because they are next to last in the Del Rio
Covina: 50/1 because they don't have any Pills left
Pool A: Diamond Bar, Sonora, South Pasadena
Pool B: Charter Oak, Del Oro, Walnut
Pool C: Covina, La Serna, Montebello

Hey Frank, that reminds me of a joke.
Naaaaa
Just kidding...It's not "just (ribbin) tribbin" time yet.

Do the math,
Right you are Pythagoras although the punchline works better my way. (See Frank C's points on humor.)
In case you haven't noticed, I lean more to Buddy Hackett than Stephen Hawking.
Thanks to all who enjoyed it, let's keep it light whenever possible. Blogs are supposed to provide some insight but they need to be fun too.

Don,
on SP-"20/1 because half of their runs came against Blair"- hillarious!

See how easy that was jcaz. No hate no drive by no hassle no drama just good clean fun...which was my original point.
Comedy Central was the "joke" and not a poser or fake name ...but I do appreciate the props Mr. Jcaz...now that's a funny last name...or is it your first name?
You must be named after St. JCazam the patron saint of lousy joke tellers.... ;-)
Again...I'm kidding!

Frank
Ouch and double ouch !
Man that was intersting at the very least, but at least I have to give you proffs this time for posting with one of your more "common" names instead of the drive-by I suppose.
Hey look, everybody is a critic and to tell you the truth, I have even said on more than one occasion that some (if not all) of these jokes are compleatly stupid, at the very minimum.
So what if you or granny don't like them.
They are not meant to be taken seriously dude. It's just a bad joke ment to break up hate that goes on in here every now and then.
Nothing more.
Still, it's nice to see that im always in your thoughts Frank. It kinda warms the heart just a little knowing that.
:)

Don..."Diamond Bar..because they say they're great" ! (next day Damien trounces them!!! OUCH!!!)
Jcaz...tip #1...start with you best line..after that do some clever gymnastics and show off your "brain power" and kept them rollling. That constitutes a sharp and thoughtful mind....people appreciate "talent"...of which your"jokes" had none.
Anyone can say a "chichuahua" joke and think it's funny but Don actually WRITES HIS OWN MATERIAL....you can do one of two things 1) get better material and turn the tide in your favor 2) cry and lash out like a a bad comic who doesn't understand why the crowd isn't laughing
I have a joke for you...look in the mirror...funny huh? well it worked in grammar school.
Relax Jcaz...I know you mean well.

Excuse me Don,
But Bonita at 3/2 is better odds than Diamond Bar at 8/5. Therefore Bonita should be on top & the favorite.

jcaz,
Bad impressions leave a sour taste. If you hadn't made it such a point as to lie in wait for the just tribbin thread so you could post one of your sick pathetic jokes then maybe no one would make these types of comments. But you earned it now accept it.

Poet (gotta love that Whittier thing),
La Serna and CalHi are both solid teams in the Del Rio. Nieto, (the other one), played a bit tougher competition early but the Lancers have been tough against Valencia, Bosco, Laguna Hills, and St Paul. They also may have more “star power”. Both bode well for their chances in the Northview-Covina throwdown.
WWAI on the Del Rio, props to our favorite DRL players, Ramirez and Aldecoa from the Ranch.
GO ANGELS!
Gotta go play with the TSA now.

Comedy Central
It's so funny really.
I mean, who else has the time or energy to sit in front of a computer (and actually make the effort) to tell some guy, who you don't even know, that you don't like his jokes.
Jezz dude, get a life already.

Good projection, well thought out, and delivered in a witty way ("...they don't have any Pills left...LOL!). Way to go, Don.
La Serna has been scoring a lot of runs- about 9 runs a game through ten games. Check Max Preps. If teams throw their 3,4,5 guys agianst them...and they can hit good guys as well. A sophomore lefty has has 4 HR and 19 RBI. IN a pretty tough pre season, they FUBAR'd a couple of games they were leading late and could easily be 7-3 or better. Veteran travel ball guys who can swing it, whether facing 75 mph pussers or 88 mph fastball/slider guys.
Objectively, I think they should be better than 10-1 odds (+24 in runs scored, 88 runs scored in 10 games), Don, but I admit to being a homer. Your take is solid. It will all play out where it belongs, on the field.
Does anybody know how the monday and tuesday games wuill be determined? Which Pools will pair in the playoff?

Tip to Jcaz...take notes from Don. His jokes are clean, clever and concise.
Best of luck J-man
