1. FORUMS 101: "An Internet forum is a web application for holding discussions and posting user generated content. Internet forums are also commonly referred to as web forums, message boards, discussion boards, (electronic) discussion groups, discussion forums, bulletin boards, fora (the Latin plural) or simply forums. The terms "forum" and "board" may refer to the entire community or to a specific sub-forum dealing with a distinct topic. Messages within these sub-forums are then displayed either in chronological order or as threaded discussions." from Wikipedia. A "thread" is a series of replies. When saying YOUR thread, this means the Orange (OCYB, OYBC, or whatever it is you call yourselves)thread on this website's forum. If I was to imply that you made a quote, I would say "from your own POST" not your own "thread". #2 At the TC tourney, the police were asked to be there by the PONY TOURNAMENT OFFICIALS because of the Orange fans. The TC officials did not call them and it was not a "regular patrol" as was incorrectly stated by hawkfan. #3 Why is everything that is done by everyone else incidental (i.e. taking pics by the Orange team during the HR King announcement) but everything done by TC was on purpose (i.e. the water)? Can't we all admit that we are ALL human and ALL of us are imperfect and make mistakes and get back to the subject of baseball??

This is all very entertaining! lol Thanks for the laughs!

from your own OCYB thread..."I'm new to this throw down but I'm jumping right on in and gettin me some. We're gonna call this OYBS smackdown." Veerrry nice! Like I said, read your own forum. It speaks volumes!

I think the fact that the Orange League fights about all of these same issues among itself on this very sight (please see the forum topic OCYB) speaks volumes! I don't see Groves, Vidor, Pt. Arthur, or TC screaming STACKED like on your leagues forum. And it takes a really big man to pick a fight with a 5 foot tall woman. Even your own fans were mortified by your outrageous behavior & apologized for it afterwards. Here’s a clue, Orange...when the constable and the police department have to patrol during your games, your parents/fans may be out of control! Completely opposite of what is being said here, they were there Thursday night because of the WILD and INAPPROPRIATE behavior shown Wednesday nights to the officials and to the Vidor fans in the parking lot. It wasn't enough to beat Vidor, you then had to harass them in the parking lot and leave a woman that was alone without her husband fleeing for her car because of the group of parents/fans from Orange that began shouting at her. It makes Orange look pretty bad when the only time the big men can stand up is when a woman is alone. They sure backpedal when the men step up! Do you even know why the man attacked the official? It was because Coach Bost from Groves turned in the positions of his team on his roster and the Coach from Orange did not. So, when a player made a great catch or great play, the players from Groves were identified by name instead of saying "Great play from the Orange short stop." Or you serious?!?!?!?! Forget the water coolers! Next year, they'll make sure your stands are stocked with KLEENEX! WWWAAAAAHHHH! Also, regarding the "select team" rumor, you may want to again check your own bleachers. I was standing in a small group of people talking when one of the grandparents from Orange 1 came over to a grandparent from another league and she told this other grandparent that she suspected that Vidor 1 was a select team and that they must have played all year with their all star team. She said that Orange didn't pick all stars last year, but picked them at the beginning of the season and played with them all year and she suspected Vidor of doing the same that they did. If this information was not correct, then your stands should really check themselves. However, after reading OCYB forum thread, I suspect this grandmother was right on! About the 5 elementary & junior high kids chanting "select team" on the TC side, maybe you could send one of your BIG threatening men over to try to fight the little kids when they are done trying to beat up all the little women. That'll show 'em all! And ya know, I have no idea about water coolers or anything else, but I have a hard time believing that just because some of your fans were inappropriate or because your kids were coming into a game in 1st place, that the TC hosts had this great big plan to dehydrate 7 & 8 year old boys so that they could win a game! Are you serious?!?! Maybe it was a conspiracy that the Vidor kids were in on so that they drank ALL of the water in the cooler just hoping for revenge on Orange from the night before! Maybe those tough men could smack them around a little while they are at it! I think reading through these threads speak for itself. The language and the whining are a common theme. It’s really a shame, too. The tournament was a great tournament with some really good baseball being played. That was a tough tournament with some very promising baseball players showing great talent!
