Sink the Admirals part Deux

[SoupKitchen]

HVol,

It has been a pleasure having you on our side, except for twice that I'm sure of, this year. You have promoted the player's and team at Farragut, as well as KIL baseball and it's players like no other. Thanks....see you around the ballparks.

Yes Hvol you've been great all year thanks for your support and congratulations on a successful season...i would also like to add on the fact that K-DUB is the man! Glad to call that kid my friend...too bad he can't beat me in tiger woods pga tour 2003....might want to work on that one ballplayer!

HV - I'm sorry that Karns' season is at an end, but at least you know you were beat by the best. Sounds like Craig was pitching the same as against West earlier in the season.

 

Good luck to young Wes and his surgery. Here's hoping for a fast recovery.

 

Congratulations FA15, Soupkitchen and the rest of the Admirals. You continue to do District 4AAA and the Knoxville area proud.

Nice job tonight Kyle. Your homeruns were still on the way up when they went over the wall. Nice job to the rest of the guys for your hits. (Harry, Tony, Mike, Phil, and Clint) Nice pitching Craig. Lets get better at practice tomorrow and play a good game on Wednesday vs. Marryville.

first, i would like to say thank you to hv, for answering me with a simple and plain answer. i just moved into the area recently and was just looking for an simple answer. for the rest of you, i was also just wondering when you go and shake someone's hand, how many state championship rings do you have around those fingers? i was always taught that second was for losers.

thank youuuuuu tommmy

Tommy-How many rings do you have and how many national rankings has your team been in? I don't play for Farragut or even know anyone that goes there, I live in the Chattanooga area, but it sounds to me like you're just trying to start something. The first post was fine, but then the inciting question in your last post, and it was only your second one. Sour grapes maybe?

[bizazz]

It remains to be seen whether Farragut can bring the ring home this year or not. But the past years are history. Farragut's current ranking is based on what they've accomplished this year. I know nothing about USA Today and how they compile their ratings. I'm sure most of us agree that national high school rankings are subjective at best because there's no way to evaluate most of these teams in head to head competition.

 

But we do know this:

 

Farragut is 42-1, dominating most games.

 

They have defeated premier teams from across the state and Alabama. Their only loss is a close game in which they didn't pitch one of their top 4 or 5 starters.

 

Teams that Farragut has handily defeated from the Knoxville area have routinely defeated teams from other areas of the state.

 

They lost their leading homerun hitter halfway through the season and didn't miss a beat.

 

There are NO weaknesses in their batting order.

 

If Farragut had rolled up these wins against small single-A schools, one might have an argument about their strength. But Farragut has played as competitive a schedule as any school in the state.

 

We'll have to wait and see whether the Admirals can maintain their focus and win the state tournament. They have some tough games remaining including their matchup with Maryville in the Regional finals. But I'd like to see 25 teams better than this group. JMHO.

i would like to second the comment from gameday.....thank youuuuuuuuuuu tommy

[gameday03]

tommy we could care less what you say about us because your baseball knowledge is probably close to nothing. Truthfully, baseball rankings dont mean anything and all that matters is what happens in the end. Your invective language means nothing to us and it really only makes me laugh so keep making more awesome posts.

tommy.....

if you are in the Knoxville area and have open time this week maybe on wednesday or on friday in the game hopefully we will be hosting... i would be glad to pay for your admission to see us play and so you can see we are a great group of people, have great fans, and are working on having a quality baseball team. Oh yeah and for the fact that we could earn some of your respect because it doesnt look like it is there since we dont have a ring on all fingers in our 4 years of high school.

Tommy...so your new in town...i understand you want some attenion and all but is it really neccessary to try and be a badass...farragut has made some amazing accomplishments this year and i'd be willing to bet that you , and your family (if you even have one) haven't come close to what farragut has done this year.. Farragut is one of the premier programs in tennessee others are Oakland, germantown, DB..and the others know who they are. they one one thing in common. CLASS.. you yourself have none..i'd like to meet you face to face so i could put you in your place..Farragut doesn't need sh*t like you to get in their way. A champion has class and probably wouldnt be wearing a ring on the darn field. The players are humble and dont rant and rave about their rankings .they just take care of buisness. they dont deserve to get sh*tted on by someone who is as worthless as you.
