[Pirates~R~Us]

i was at the belfry bowling green game and i saw things a little different. the belfry fans were heckling pitchers and other players to the point where they got warned to all be thrown out of the game. that is why the kid got tossed is because they were already mad at belfry for showing no sportsmanship. and that pitch he got so mad about was strike three. maybe if he wasnt right on top of the plate it wouldnt have looked like such a bad pitch. when your players are throwing helmets at umps and your coaches are throwing gatorades at people, thats not baseball. i witnessed the entire thing and was not biased for any team and that was what i saw.

I cannot believe what I am reading. Yes the parents were warned and we had no idea why!!! IN FACT we ask what the problem was!! The director told us (I heard with my own ears, I wasnt a bystander, I was right there) that there had been problems the night before with the two teams during their game and he had told the umps no more from anyone! Belfry NEVER through out this or any tournment "heckles" other kids. We cheer on our own team, always, end of story. There was a question about what most everybody thought was a 2nd and possibly 3rd balk by the umps standards around here, but NEVER was a child heckeled. In fact Belfry has done nothing but praise warren co on here. Number 2...even if a bunch of parents from any team does stupid things, then be man enough to take it out on the parents not the kids. The kids worked very hard to get where they were and they did it honestly!!!! That remark was ridiculas. Number 3...I will see if I can upload the picture of that "strike 3" the catchers arm is streched completely out, inside, and well beyond stike zone!! He had to dodge from getting hit. Its in todays paper and the photograper showed us the pics at the field before we left so we dont need any opinions. A picture speaks a thousand words and we have lots of pictures! There were no bats/helmets or gatorade bottles thrown during the game. The batter shoved his bat to the ground, he was emotional but did not sling nor throw it! Now we did dee bats and helmets fly in this tourney but nothing was said. The bottle was thrown to the ground in the field After the kids were robbed of playing.
Its a funny thing that all of these other people including North Laurel and warren has our back and not just our back but the backs of ALL kids who are done wrong. It was 1 to 0 Warren up in a great game! And I hope they win it all!
