It might be the last scrimmage until the super changes his mind. I hope he changes his mind quick, because every other county in the state is getting ahead of all the rutherford county schools now. It is hot every August, and guess what, it is going to be hot those first couple of games as well. Practicing them in Air Conditioning and then throwing them out in the heat to play a game is not going to help them in any way.

A list of things coaches can do to impress scouts. 1. Tell them you are already a scout with a different team and that youd like to get in scouting as soon as you move on from this job. 2.Wear sunglasses on your hat...even at night....preferably the 1993 edition Oakley blades or Killer Loops. 3.Offer them free concession stand food, programs, tournament t-shirts etc. 4.Make sure everyone in the park sees and hears you at all times, move around as much as possible while coaching 3rd or 1st. This is especially important on a trip to the mound. 5. Turtle neck dickies 6. never clean your turfs, it makes you look "old School" 7.Make sure at least 4 non coaches in the dugout are giving fake pitch signals to the catcher, and have an up to date scouting report so you can yell to your outfielders "five back side!" as much as possible. 8.Show them pictures from your playing days. 9. While dragging the infield yell at players getting loose to prove your attention is never diverted from them. 10.always chew "king B twist" and get some on your chin, neck and shirt 11.Button polo shirts all the way to the neck. 12.Explain your expertise in backside hitting and sidearm pitching asap. 7.

Sorry to one up ya man but I have some up close and personal experience with a couple of big time scouts, one with the biggest with the Pirates and another with the Rockies ( tha playboy). Here are some more suggestions for your kids or you on impressing scouts. If they throw hard encourage them to change their arm slot to the "dropped down " position immediatley..sidearmers are the next big thing. tell them to mention within earshot of the scout group that they hit better with wood than they do aluminum. make talk of D1 scholarships and Summer Ball accomplishments constantly smear eye black on their faces, scouts love that native american warrior look. offer them your own compliled list of stats of your child kept from little league age and anything free that they want out of your concession stand give them your card and cell number as soon as you get to the park and if your son doesnt have a girlfriend to go and flirt with the scout go hire one. plenty for hire cleat chasers can be found via myspace.com or russian wives.net if you as the coach are interested in impressing the scout make sure you mention arm speed for lefthanded pitchers, velocity and wear your best dickie turtleneck under your uniform or your TBCA polo shirt that you got at the last clinic with your name embroidered on the pocket " coach john" or whatever the first name is would work fine.

Rumor has it that E5 is working on yet another innovation that will help him with his leg problems, He recently had funding approved to purchase a "RASCAL" personalized motorized unit, from which he will hit infield with a croquet mallett. The idea will surely spread in popularity as he is the one who brought us the turtleneck dickie, upside down sunglasses at night,train conductor hats, and emergency team nurse moms that can sprint on the field in under 4.7. Rumor also has it that E5's Rascal cart comes with a motorized booster seat that allows him to throw BP and reach the items on the top shelf at the grocery store.

Riverdale went beyond cheering last night. They got bush and thats a fact.

one secret i can let you in on as far as droppin em down is that you might wanna try what we call the "Roy Munson" system of developing pitchers, we take our kids to the local bowling alley to strengthen their rotator cuffs in the off season, the best thing about this program is that if you buy ten games you get one free, and its a bottomless 5 dollar draft of Natural Light night on Wednesdays. You can get tanked up on draft beer,pork rinds, coach pitchers, dip , wear bowling shoes, and take home leftover french fries and pizza to your family after you leave. For more informaton go to www.munsonpitching.net, or call 1-800-dropemdown. its 99 cents a minute though so have your questions ready.

"droppin em down" can turn a 80 lb lefthanded freshman into a flawthrowin two seam fastball tailin' straight cheese throwin stud..there are local instructors but their time is very precious as they spend 24 hr.s of every day thinking about and teaching kids about "droppin em down"...your best bet is to get a head dress, a donkey saddle, some copenhagen, and just tell your guys to make sure the knuckles drag the ground. GOOD LUCK CC rider!

If you want information on double cuts for lefthanded shortstopsmen trust me i know the place to get those drills. Also the only drills you need for pitchers are homemade balance beams and pictures of Dan Quisenberry and Kent Tekulve on the wall to demonstrate the proper technique of 'droppin em down"

roll em a golf ball see if he can palm it! ive seen better wings on a porch ive seen better cuts under a band aid punch a hole in that mask ump kick your seeing eye dog hes lying to ya blue spin the wheel vanna pick a vowel tuck in that night gown chump ( for a pull over thats too long) take that trash bag off!! - mziuno shiny pullovers it would been a ground rule double if hed a hit it!- arguing a check swing call dont chirp at me get yer ears off rabbitt you and the space shuttle- slow runner get the fridge off yer back wearing yer little brothers t shirt? - jersey too tight wearing sunglasses on your hat when the sun is not out, wearing eyeblack down on your cheeks, hats crooked, moms bringin gatorade to the dugout, cellphones in dugouts, draggin the infield with a 89 GMC sonoma,wildlife that get onto the field (EX:deer,rabbits,squirrels, and all breeds of dogs,) stopwatches tied to belt loops, dads givin fake and real signs in the stands, playing glass breaking sounds on foul balls is gettin old, dirty shoes, dirty uniforms, drainer parents, huge egos, uniforms that resemble NASCAR, too many arm bands, having girls in your dugout, parents yelling at oppenents players, trivia questions over the PA that a 3 year old could answer ........all are pretty bush In my opinion.

it shouldnt be too hard to figure that former player out, just go down to the square and look for the group with the low riders, bandanaz, barb wire tatoos and marlboro lights still wearing their underarmour throwin it up soldier style while riding the "main street" strip down to kmart and back.

my votes are for : Mike Bartlett - Siegel Middle Assistant/Post-Bell Bus Duty Travis "Dutch" Holland- Walter J Baird Middle Ben Bowers- Official 1st and 3rd sign giver of Riverdale Dustin "Loooongbed" Smith - Murfreesboro Diamondbacks Aaron "buweeto" Smith- Riverdale Warriors Hitting Instructor and Roving Outfield Instructor Charlie Lowery- Lebanon High School/Strentgh and Conditioning Coordinator

Bartlett is one of the great innovative minds of high school baseball, we are talking about the person who put a cardboard cut out of Dale Earnhardt at third to help improve his defense, put flavored water and moist towlettes on the bench for his players, took his hitters to Tone Loc for lessons, has the same shoe size as his 10 year old and can palm a golf ball. And he isnt out of the game temporarily he is asst. coach for the middle school powerhouse Siegel MS, and was recently awarded the Cavalier Spirit Award for returning lost pencils and Trapper Keepers to his principal.

There must be something in the water at Riverdale because Aaron Smith is no slouch at faking signs either, and is the absolute best at tamping the homeplate area. Coach Dustin Smith of the Murfreesboro Diamondbacks Summer program gets my vote for best "coaches physique in Tennessee" no one fills out a uni like ole Dustin...you know what they say ....like father (Powers) like son (D. Smith)!

hey E5----all i want to know is what time the train is leaving ?, babe ruth umpiring will struggle after my recent retirement, but DOC, conspiracy theory, and william will be handing out autographed 8x10's of the sounds grounds crew to anyone who can beat mellow yellow. Take your train conductor hat off, grow a goatee, tuck in your cs, get a stop watch, put ur oakleys on in december and get ready for the UUUKKKKGGSSAAA 15 year old summer world series wal mart classic. I will be bringing home the hardware this year.-GO DAWGS! I CAWNT BEWEEVE IT

im sure the previous coach did all he could to win games too. booster club or no booster club, money or no money....
