I just want to apologize to anyone here or in the community that I may have offended. I really did not intend for this to spin so out of control. In the beginning I thought it was a good thing to defend our players.......it still is, but think I'll take a different approach next time. I, as others, am very passionate about things, yet there is a time to let things go, especially when sides do not want to agree. It's okay to disagree, but we have to know when to just stop. My husband has also said I always want the last word so I guess I'm guilty as charged. (boy am I going to live to regret that statement) I DO LOVE the game of BASEBALL!!! And I appreciate all the youth that work so hard to succeed at the sport. Best of luck to all of you!!! Again, I apologize for the continuing conversation, lashing out, etc. and hope you will accept. Sincerely, The DIE HARD BLEACHER BUM!

The State Gazette just released: The District 13 Baseball turney games scheduled for today will be played at DCHS. Games will begin at 3:00 pm, weather permitting. Stay tuned for further details.

I will NEVER forget about what or shall I say HOW we as Americans have the FREEDOM OF SPEECH. You see, my husband has served for the TN Army National Guard for 17 years, served in 2 tours to Iraq and will be leaving soon for the 3rd. So don't you dare say I forget because my family and I NEVER EVER forget.

Point taken.

Thanks! Looks like another WET and WILD day today!

This is a stupid statement.

So what happened with this game? Yep, it's covered now.

Oh my GOSH! It's not hard to understand, but apparenly YOU AREN'T getting it at all. For the record and for the 4th or 5th time......I have absolutely NO problem with fans cheering for THEIR team. Heck, I don't have a problem with fans clapping when other team makes an error and your team gets a runner on base......it's on base percentage and I do the same. What I DO have a problem with is calling out opposing team's number saying, "that's who we want right there, #11, we want him." And those are HIS exact words. I'm sure he cheered for his team's pitcher as well---again, which is FINE and DANDY!!! You also have to consider his tone. As I have told my two children in years passed, your tone of voice can change how you mean something so watch it. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> NOTE: #11 probably didn't even hear it, but I did as did many other DC fans and it wasn't liked at all. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO AND WHAT WE ARE REFERRING TO. Now, if anyone else just can't seem to understand what I am saying.............I'm sorry I can't make it any more simple than that. PEACE OUT! /motorbike.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":motorbike:" border="0" alt="motorbike.gif" />

"And I'm quite sure ALL the DC out-of-district wins were not "quality opponents" your exact words look back. You would be correct on not having control on who you draw to play; however, it's common knowledge who usually plays in that particular tournament......competitive teams. Anywho.......eat your cookie crumbles and enjoy your day. /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> Yeah, I know.....right

If Dyersburg State is alternate it will have to played during the day as they have no lights and have to use DC field for night games.

ME TOO.............geeze

/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> HUH?

that is NOT what he said and you know it. but it's fine, I'm fine, Shea is fine, DC team is fine, heck we all fine now.......THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING......... /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" /> Oh, I did not. /ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />

/roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" /> let's see.....Goodpasture--twice, CPA, Harpeth, Riverside, Mt. Juliet, Harding Academy, Green Co in Ark, and Northeast. Oh...and they tied with USJ. Nah...not "quality opponents" Anybody whos anybody in Dyer County area knows Ozment schedules tough teams and travels outside the district area to make his team better. It's just how he does things and has been doing it that way for sometime now.

DC field is not covered as of 4:15 pm today.

That's that Karma you and I speak of! /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

Oh, I know you weren't blaming me, I was answering your question then went into all that. Shea's a great kid.....cough cough....young man. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> He has a future ahead of him in baseball and/or what ever he decides to do. Not only that, he's funny as crap and he treats my son well. I really hope they buckle down and take their team all the way, they have the talent to do so!!! I too hope you can get here to see him play HS ball before leaving for college....he's quite impressive!

You would be correct........that is when it happened and I see your point. However, nothing was said when previous batter came up. It's all said and done now and I'm sure some people will shun me over this whole ordeal and talk behind my back or come on here without identifying themselves to trash me, but I have survived much worse and I won't loose much sleep over it. I do speak up in here, but most people know who I am. They probably don't know me personally because I have only lived here about 2 years. I'm just a compassionate person/mom that loves her kids, kids team mates, their families and will defend them. I know, care about and love some kids on the Dyersburg team as well and would have done the same for them had a DC person said something they shouldn't have. It's all about the kids for me and I want to do all I can to help them succeed. I try very hard to stay positive yet it gets difficult when some are so negative all the time. I really don't intend to offend............but I believe the Golden Rule..... ???Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. For what you do to others will surely return to you."

Sorry just getting back here.....Dyer County. Pitcher took a hit to his leg that sent ball over to 3rd. Must not have been too bad.

Ryan Wood I believe........why does that matter? OH>>>not his son..../smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

So, you ppl think the tournament will proceed without delay? I'm afraid the weather may doing some stirring of it's own. But you never know....I didn't think we'd get the DC/D'Burg game in Monday but rain held off.

/roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> What makes you think I'm backing off? It's just getting old. Not something I want to argue about for days! I say what I need to say, defend what I said, and I'm done. Why go at it for days........got bigger fish to fry, so you can take over the stirring stick if you'd like. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

/roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" /> YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME!!! /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" /> gossip???? No gossip here...he was there, he said it..........but again..seems like a decent/nice guy.....I understand ppl get excited at games. Heck I do the same when cheering on my Choctaws. Gotta love rivals!

NO excuses from me! I'll be the first to tell ya DC should have played better ball last night. I was merely making the observations that USUALLY teams do not play as well as normal on nights like homecoming or Senior night.....I think you know how that is....right?

I was impressed with his skill behind the plate. I don't know many individual players for Dyersburg and can't tell you who pitches best, but I thought Jesse did a fine job catching and not too bad pitcher. Home plate umpire not the best last night, but not the worst I've seen either. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Definately not a job I would want!!!!
