GLee....... No child here.....grown adult with three degrees in education. I am glad that you decided to come out of that confined place you have positioned yourself (and we all know where that is......) and respond to my opinion regarding the pitching topic. As far as why you like Coach Payne.........no one cares in particular. We all know that you have your personal agenda regarding the athletic program and your relationship with the honorable Coach Payne will indeed continue in the current manner in which you have chosen to position yourself (and we all know where that is........) /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Now....the topic being discussed is the Cyclone pitchers....remember? Maybe when you can come out of that dark place and see the light of day you can discuss this topic with the player's in mind and not your own personal bias and opinion. Now you can crawl back up into the person that you respect first as a person and then as a coach. Pop out every once in a while and come see us some time. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

As an outsider looking in.... I am amazed at the stupidity of some of these posts in this forum regarding the Cyclone Pitchers! I love the sport of baseball as much as anyone..... but I can no longer witness this chaos and nonsense without my input. First of all..... it is painfully apparent that there are some postings on here who are written with a biased attitude and opinion. It is hard to be impartial when your head is so far up the coach's rear that you cannot see the light of day......isn't it GLee? This is about a team of wonderful young men who are out there giving it their all every game.....the problem is.........the pitchers aren't allowed to give it their all........because they are being confined to ONLY pitching. If they have another talent or asset to add to the overall success of this team.....then what coach in their right mind would not allow each player to contribute to the team with all of their talents and abilities??? Obviously......the coach is in the position he is in for all the wrong reasons. A coach cannot hide that for long.......it becomes apparent to even outsiders who just want the boys to be treated fairly and given a chance to contribute whatever talents they have. The three seniors who are being referenced are obviously loved and appreciated for much more than their baseball talent. Their contributions in life will far out weigh anything they have ever contributed to this season's baseball team. The lesson they will take away from all of this is............ coaches have to earn respect just as much as the players do.......on and off the field. The three seniors have done a brilliant job.............the coach has not.
