Top "E" Teams in the Area?

[diamondfreak31]

As a member of the Diamond Freaks this is our 2nd year as a team, I feel we are a decent team among the area, and have held our own within the "E" Division thus far, just wondering what new teams may be out there that we haven't seen.

So far i've seen teams like Syndicate, Dixon, & Diamond Foolz to be some of the best "E" teams we've faced I know there has to be a ton more than we haven't crossed paths with yet this season.

[Insanity5]

Obviously, Dirty Dozen

I would say Dixon, Cobra Force, and Youngbloods from all the teams I have seen so far.

[Loveless37]

dirty dozen is right in the mix with all those teams. and they will only get better

[frog]

I like this dirty dozen team but damn enough talk about them. Congrats but its over they didnt win world it was city slam. They will get better they are young and they have three good vets that will teach the young guys the game. Alot of softball left to be talking about a team that played in two tournys.

[Loveless37]

touche

[frog]

no just alot of bad talk and good talk about them just tired of hearing about it already. They are a good team but come on its one tourny.

[Loveless37]

hahah yeah true so how about them cowboys ?

[bigguyz15]

I dont know if "Auto Express" is a E team, if they are ,they are the team to beat

[Loveless37]

Syndicate has some really good young guys if I'm thinking of the right team. the one kid in the outfield has a cannon

[EXP23]

Call the kettle black, all we heard after the Big E was Diamond Foolz. LOL

you must be talking about the long haired pretty boy

[Loveless37]

well he has long hair yes. so I think so

[frog]

Call the kettle black, all we heard after the Big E was Diamond Foolz. LOL

it was a congrats for winning not 13 pages of blogs about us winning.

[chillywilly777]

There are a lot of evenly matched good "E" teams which makes it fun because any one of them can get hot in a tournament and win it. Seems like the sames teams are always winning or almost winning in "D", "C", and "B".

E tends to be more luck of the draw and who is hot than anything this year. Well, now that Huber got bumped.

[ttf23]

We played Dixon, Sibcy Cline & The Skinz???
They all have as good of squads as we've seen, and all 3 teams are flat out class guys.

Syndicate is good, they talk alittle smack but when your backing it up you can.

E is a ton of fun this year, any team on any given weekend can take home a
trophy...like the Dirty Dozen.

[frog]

FTX will start to get in the mix

The smack keeps us on our toes and in the game as a team nothing personal to any other team.

[Loveless37]

I like that the E is pretty even. when there is one team that just dominates that's no fun.

[DIRTY DOZEN]

So are you saying our city slam win was a fluke. If you are man please spare me my time on here

[Loveless37]

So are you saying our city slam win was a fluke. If you are man please spare me my time on here

who said you're guys' win was a fluke ?

[b.a.s.]

WTF is Syndicate?

[Loveless37]

WTF is Syndicate?

its a softball team

[DIRTY DOZEN]

dude up there said any team can win on any giving weekend like the dirty dozen.

[Loveless37]

dude up there said any team can win on any giving weekend like the dirty dozen.

I think he just meant that its a toss up in the E

[b.a.s.]

its a softball team

Are they any good?

[mfozz]

I wouldn't say being the best E team is something to be proud of, but I think you have to include Hodapp Funeral Home in the mix. After playing in the City Slam and seeing some of what was supposed to be the better E teams in the city, I would still say that us, Dirty Dozen, and Youngbloods are the top three and there is a slight drop off from there. I know not all teams played in the slam, but I think that if it was played again, those three teams would end up finishing 1-2-3 again and any one of those teams could have beaten one another (we knocked both of them out of the Metro last year). I would also give credit to KJ's Pub. That was a tough loss to take on a bloop against Youngbloods.

[chillywilly777]

dude up there said any team can win on any giving weekend like the dirty dozen.

Any "E" team can win any tournament just like the Dirty Dozen won the Slam. If not, why even hold the tournament. Thats not a put down.

[Loveless37]

Are they any good?

yes they are good. they have some great young guys. I played against them last year and it came down to a play at the plate in the 7th inning. one of their young outfielders was at the fence and fired a laser to home on target, but the ump called our guy safe.

[chillywilly777]

Are they any good?

They are capable of playing with any of the other "E" teams around here.

[Catalyst21]

Don't stroke their team to this guy. B.A.S. plays for the syndicate

Not so sure about the top 3 again. And we beat KJ's twice this year including once in this tournament but they finally got us 7-5 in the consolation bracket with us missing 3 starters. Not taking anything from KJ's they are a great bunch of guys and fun to play against.

[ttf23]

So are you saying our city slam win was a fluke. If you are man please spare me my time on here

No, not at all.
There are allot of capable teams in E this year.
We've played alot of tourneys thus far, played you guys Saturday...and won.
I can honestly say your no better than anyone we've played thus far.
You guys have some talented young kids, some good older guys and a few crafty vets.
It works for you guys, but to say your heads and shoulders above the rest of the field would be a lie.


Congrats on the win...

[b.a.s.]

Don't stroke their team to this guy. B.A.S. plays for the syndicate

HAHA! Just having some fun guys. We are a 1st year team. Majority of our team only played leagues last year, and yes he is correct I pitch for them.

[Loveless37]

Thanks bro!

[bigguyz15]

Anyone know what league Auto Express plays in

[EXP23]

Anyone know what league Auto Express plays in

I think they are a D team but not sure.

[Loveless37]

Thanks bro!

did you guys play in the E slam ? and if so how did you do ? (this is probably a dumb question I just didn't follow the tournament)

[chillywilly777]

HAHA! Just having some fun guys. We are a 1st year team. Majority of our team only played leagues last year, and yes he is correct I pitch for them.

Half your team played for, was it Lock and Load last year in "D", right? I think we played you last year in the Super Duper and at Township a couple of times.

[mfozz]

All that I meant about KJ's is that they had good veteran players that hit the ball well, which is how you beat a five-man. They put a good tournament together and if we had not had two good late innings and run-ruled them, they had the ability to come back on us.

I really just don't see any dropoff that separates any of the top 3 from the rest of the field other than this particular weekend.

[b.a.s.]

did you guys play in the E slam ? and if so how did you do ? (this is probably a dumb question I just didn't follow the tournament)

No we did not play in the E slam. We have some young guys, and we are all either family or real close friends. We had a couple graduating that weekend, and would have been without 1/2 our team so we weren't able to get in it.

Half your team played for, was it Lock and Load last year in "D", right? I think we played you last year in the Super Duper and at Township a couple of times.

Only 3 of the guys on our team played for Lock N Load last year. the biggest part of our team played for the Little Leaugers which mainly only played leagues.

yea we played you guys in something last year out at riverstar

[b.a.s.]

I really just don't see any dropoff that separates any of the top 3 from the rest of the field other than this particular weekend.

Terry, you know as well as I do that whoever is hot at the time will probably win. You can have all the talent in the world on 1 team, but if they are not playing well as a team, they are beatable. I agree with you that any team can be beaten on any given day.

[Youngblood08]

Playin in the E just like some of you guys said there are so many teams that could win any weekend.....i know we like playin tough games and we saw alot of tough teams in the slam.....we are playin our summer league at eggleston on thursdays who all plays down there? were hoping its gonna be a tough league

[LittleLeager24]

I really just don't see any dropoff that separates any of the top 3 from the rest of the field other than this particular weekend.

I agree with this. E is pretty equal this year which makes it fun. No team is totally above the other team. Who ever is hitting and fielding that weekend will have the best chances winning but no team is totally the best like in the other levels.

[LittleLeager24]

yea we played you guys in something last year out at riverstar

what name did we play under?

[Loveless37]

what name did we play under?

no idea probably the little leaguers but we played under the crush and as I said before it came down to a play at the plate in the final inning

[eruss35]

There are alot of good teams playing E this year. I know everyone dont see them all but we have played some really good teams this year. Down N Dirty, Hack Shack, American legion, Cobra Force, Big hogz, they all have really good teams. I think all of these teams have qualified to go to orlando this year.

[bjpierson24]

Only 3 of the guys on our team played for Lock N Load last year. the biggest part of our team played for the Little Leaugers which mainly only played leagues.

4 from what I can think of by glancing at our roster. Me, Sam, Brian, You.

Top E team right now (since Huber got pushed up) that has given us our best games is Dixon. No matter the score, there is always a gut feeling that says we are going to have to hang on by a thread to beat them. We have missed a few of the big tourneys this year already so I haven't had a good look at alot of the teams. Hopefully soon we get to see what more of the local teams have to offer, and show them what we have as well.

[LittleLeager24]

no idea probably the little leaguers but we played under the crush and as I said before it came down to a play at the plate in the final inning

Oh thats coll im not sure of it either I played in so many tournaments with Lock N Load or Little Leaguers and Long Horn lasy year.

[EXP23]

All I am saying is you can't say a tournament outcome would be exactly the same at the top if you replay the bracket even without changes to the bracket.

Besides, the tournament is over and they don't hand out State, National, or World titles until August - September, so even "IF" you consider someone as a top team right now, that means nothing come the first pitch of the State Tournament.

[Loveless37]

Oh thats coll im not sure of it either I played in so many tournaments with Lock N Load or Little Leaguers and Long Horn lasy year.

all I know is that there was a couple young guys that looked like brothers

[LittleLeager24]

all I know is that there was a couple young guys that looked like brothers

lol Thats my little brother and I.

[mfozz]

Playin in the E just like some of you guys said there are so many teams that could win any weekend.....i know we like playin tough games and we saw alot of tough teams in the slam.....we are playin our summer league at eggleston on thursdays who all plays down there? were hoping its gonna be a tough league

We will be there. Hope that you guys will be playing in the C. There are some fun teams to play in that league and it gives great competition for preparing your team for tournaments. Your pitcher (unless it this is you) is a character by himself. We would definitely look forward to playing you guys and breaking our 1-1 series tie.

[Loveless37]

lol Thats my little brother and I.

oh cool. so are you the guy with the fricking cannon arm ? I think you played right center.

[Youngblood08]

yea we were gonna play c we wanna play tough teams it can only make us better i look forward to playin you guys again

[lwald26]

I think syndicate is a top team alot of young talent there. If they stay playing ball togthere I think they will be the team to beat

[LittleLeager24]

oh cool. so are you the guy with the fricking cannon arm ? I think you played right center.

Yeah I did. Idk if it is a cannon or not. I was the tall skinny guys with long brown hair.

[chillywilly777]

Yeah I did. Idk if it is a cannon or not. I was the tall skinny guys with long brown hair.

Think how good your arm would be if you didn't have the wind resistance with your hair slowing you down!

[LittleLeager24]

Think how good your arm would be if you didn't have the wind resistance with your hair slowing you down!

hahaha :) ... The one I hear the most is "how fast would you be if you cut your hair"

[kyredleg24]

We could be a good team if we get our head out of our @$$es.... ha! :D

[herts9]

Yeah I did. Idk if it is a cannon or not. I was the tall skinny guys with long brown hair.

If you tell me to be on first waiting for a throw on a single to right one more time, I'm gonna whip your flamethrower for an arm's ass :)


There are a lot of great E teams this year, and every weekend we play is usually fun and filled with very decent competition. There's not a lot of disappointing games we play in.

Thanks to everybody that makes "E" as strong as it is this year. It's been a great time, and I hope it continues.

[EXP23]

People under chest high don't count :)

[cameron21]

There is alot of good teams out there but I would have to say the most improved team hands down is Titan Health Care/Express

[Wolfeja]

I am not going to rank them, at the risk of being biased towards my team, but here are the teams I think are the top E teams in the area, according to waht I've seen. In so certain order...

1. Diamond Foolz-revamped from last year. Really starting to gel
2. Syndicate-Great young team
3. Dixon-everyone knows when they play them you're in for a battle
4. FTX/Fatbats-Good hitting team-hits seeds
5. Dirty Dozen-Like them or not, they hit the **** out of the ball and HUSTLE!!!
6. Young Bloods- excellent team
7. KJ's PUB-Veterans are strong, hit ball well
8. Titan Health Care

Don't really know about the rest...bad memory. If I missed anybody, sorry.

[b.a.s.]

Hey move your as$ to first and I wont have to tell you anymore :)

I agree! Quit being lazy Herts!

[ckone]

i agree not in that order but dirty dozen has to be on the d list also we did finish 4 th in the d people better not sleep on us we have only been around 2 years ooooooooohh!

nice list but, you have to add Hodapp to this list.... they finished 3rd in the metro last year and 3rd in the city slam this year. They mite not be the best team in E but they have to atleast be in consideration as one of the best.

[herts9]

Is Hodapp the same team as Natorps???? I thought they finished 3rd in the Slam. I did forget about them, but never really saw them play.

Thank you. Don't forget that we ran off 9 in a row in 100 degree heat just to get into the final four of the Metro {trying to sound dramatic}. That was, of course, as we played under the name, Rustic Tavern.

[Youngblood08]

i agree with the list also i just still believe there are so many E teams that can win any given weekend

There are alot of teams not on that list. If your talking great lakes region.

[EXP23]

There are alot of teams not on that list. If your talking great lakes region.

Yeah but it is hard as hell to come up with a local list/poll without leaving someone off, can't imagine making one for the Great Lakes Region. I have a pretty good idea of a few teams from Dayton from when we were up there a couple times earlier. We played most of the teams you named but not all.

[sjgw29]

What about the Naturals? and or the Diamond Freaks? Nobody on here has played either one of these teams.

[diamondfreak31]

That list seems to be pretty acurate, but you can never count us out when are actual team is on the field, and if The Naturals are who I think they are then watch out when either one of these teams come out of the cornfields and into the city LOL. These are two more teams to definetly consider when it comes to "E".

One other thing, with the amount of solid E teams right now maybe this can lead to a ressurection of the sport as we all start to move up divisions over the next couple years. Alot of solid teams with good people staffing them.

[YoungGuns]

like you say here keeping the whole thing is keeping the teams together longer than a year or two...i know with the diamond foolz we only have 4 people from the team last year. everyone else is new...

[slamit93]

One other thing, with the amount of solid E teams right now maybe this can lead to a ressurection of the sport as we all start to move up divisions over the next couple years. Alot of solid teams with good people staffing them.

except there are plenty of E teams right now that used to be D teams, or have been bottom feeders for a while even though they are more than capable to play up... you know it's possible to move up without being bumped???

[diamondfreak31]

I know teams love to win and that is the main goal in competitive softball but sometimes you got to advance a level sure you can win all the E tourneys you want year after year but come on you got to want more eventually right?

[LittleLeager24]

except there are plenty of E teams right now that used to be D teams, or have been bottom feeders for a while even though they are more than capable to play up... you know it's possible to move up without being bumped???

We would love to move up and play but with some young guys playing we want them to learn the game some more before moving up. They would learn alot moving up now but they wouldnt have as much fun getting beat a little more. Once they are ready we will be moving up.

[diamondfreak31]

I'm just a player for the Diamond Freaks but I'd have to say our team feels exactly the same as yours. We will make our move when we are ready It won't take long but a lot of our players either played for pick up teams & Leagues around from Wilmington to Mt. Orab so we are honestly a lot of newer players aswell.

[darnell22]

YOU KNOW MULLIGAN'S PLAYED PRETTY FREAKING GOOD THIS WEEKEND FOR BEING THERE FIRST TOURNY OF THE YEAR PLUS WE HAVE ONLY PLAYED 2 LEAGUE NIGHTS THIS SUMMER! NOT TO SOUND COCKY BUT TEAMS BETTER NOT TAKE US LIGHTLY! PLUS WE COULD NOT KEEP OUR STARTING 10 ON THE FIELD!

[YoungGuns]

you guys played well...you hit that top of the 7th lol no need in finishing that one out

[darnell22]

YEAH THEN WE HAD DD BEAT OR SO WE THOUGHT 10-9 BOTTOM 7 THEN THOSE LITTLE S**T'S RATTLED OFF LIKE 15 HITS IN A ROW AND KILLED US

[darnell22]

HOW IN THE HECK DO I PUT OUR LOGO WITH MY NAME?

[ballinbombers3]

What about the Naturals? and or the Diamond Freaks? Nobody on here has played either one of these teams.

we played both of these teams...we played The Naturals in a pitchers duel, we decided to play fastpitch for that game tied a record in softball with the lowest scoring game and lost 1-0, ill never forget that game, defense was insane for both teams...we played the Diamond Freaks once and beat them but dont remember the score

[USSSAFairborn]

Naturals played last weekend in the Memorial and was a 5/6 seed. I was surprised after watching them. Very solid pitcher, good fundamental defense, and hit the ball ok.

In my opinion, there is a Dayton team that might be one to watch that not many have seen. They are the WPAFB Sensors. Played in my D NIT and lost to Impact by only a few, then lost to Friends Bar & Grill (The old Tammy Lynn Inn) by 1. They have yet to play in an E World Qualifier though. They could be good.

Played against Dixon last year and watched them this year. Still a solid team. Have watched Titan/Express a few times. Good talent, seems like a complete on or off team. Either really on or really off. Those are really the only ones I can comment on from Cincy.

In Dayton, Cobra Force, American Legion Post 746, and BK Contracting are probably head of the class. Throw Backs are right in there with them if they can get more consistent pitching. Down and Dirty and Hack Shack could be good, but have yet to really put it completely together for a weekend.

In Columbus, Big Hogz, Newark Softball, Cotner, and Apex seem to head the class up in the Central for E.

That is all I have really seen to comment on. Hope to get a better look at some of the Cincy teams here in a few weeks!

[umfanec]

All E teams suck!!! Especially Syndicate, and Titan, two of the worst teams in softball history.

Syndicate - the two gay long haired brothers should take up tennis. The oversized pitcher should just take up fishing or something, and don't get me started on their first baseman.

Titan - the manager is a idiot who picks fights with women, enough said!!!!

Step up to E rec boys!!!!!

It wasn't a fight, just had to straighten that biotch out on how to keep score. You can't do it while talking to a person next to you and also talking on the damn phone at the same time. LOL

you guys are talking about dirty dozen....i have seen them play one time and from the stands they did not look good at all....and the shaved bat thing about them true to....in the one game i saw the end cap came off about three times...come on now....but like it was said before one win means nothing there is still 3 mnths till world lets see how it pans out..............

[EXP23]

There is alot of good teams out there but I would have to say the most improved team hands down is Titan Health Care/Express

Thanks, we really turned things on after you all kicked our asses in the Big E.

[YoungGuns]

there's lots of good E teams in the citry this year.... hopefully one can bring back a world title to back it up!

[chillywilly777]

Thats the thing, there are a lot of good "E" teams, not alot of good "D" or "C" teams masquerading as "E" teams in the area. That why any team can win any tournament this year. Could some of the "E" teams be competititve in "D", sure, but I don't think they would dominate. To me State and Nationals mean more than the sandbagging joke that is Worlds.

[ckone]

owens 25 you must play for ante up who we beat the s....t ! out of i still cant believe you guys play d good e team at best and any time you want to make a bet if my combat is shaved lets do it

[ckone]

yall just mad you lost to the dirty dirty oooooooooooooooooohhh!!!!!

eh....i watched 40+ games in 4 days last year down at disney.....there were NO teams down there that showed anything of being "C" caliber.....hell reload (not the nsa team from this area) that won it last year was a bunch of old skinny dudes hit bloopers and lines....played a 4 man and they won it

the two teams we played werent anything we lost 7-5 and 10-6 or something like that and we through together 5 people last minute to go down

[kessnick]

mulligan's is a first year team and we did not have our full team . we had people out on injurys . we only played two games all year first tournament and we finished sixed . you all will be seeing more of us . congrats on winning the slam dd but we gave you a run for your money bad last inning . had a bast see all the e teams soon

[GoinOppo41]

I would have to say that the E is wide open if a team like the Dirty Dozen won the E slam. Good thing that most of the solid E teams moved up this year or E would be dominated by 2 or 3 teams. Makes for good tournaments though when going into it you know that anyone can win.

[ckone]

the dirty dozen could have won the d also we didnt even hit in the city slam e and still won it mulligans game was the oniy game we hit and it was in the7th peolpe dont sleep on us big big things still to come the biggest name in softball 2008 dirty dozen oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!! haters

[diamondfreak31]

Hate to say it to you buddy but even if your team also wins State and Nationals in E you will not be the team of 2008 Your playing E remember, thats like calling The Dayton Dragons the major league team of the year.


Anyways, out of all the teams mentioned you know every year a few teams that nobody knows will show up at State and be very competitive aswell. I've seen teams that where just thrown together and bought their own berth then came out hitting and people thought they were some sandbaggers when really they where just a little league team wanting to play in a big tourney.

[softballguy17]

THE BIGGEST NAME IN SOFTBALL IN 2008?????????? There are going to be bigger and better stories in 08 than Dirty Dozen winning E slam. It is nno knock on Dirty Dozen but the slam is a local event when you guys go to state/national/worlds and dominate then we will be impressed. Hard Knocks won E slam last year and I played on several throw together teams that beat Hard Knocks and a couple of times run ruled them. Live it up though because it is something to be proud of but in my opinion Im more impressed by the 4th place finish in D. CONGRATS and good luck this year.

[RENEGADES#6]

owens 25 you must play for ante up who we beat the s....t ! out of i still cant believe you guys play d good e team at best and any time you want to make a bet if my combat is shaved lets do it



seriously half of your guys couldn't hold ante ups jock get a grip fellas it is the "E" city slam and a 4th place finish in the "d". Go win an NIT then talk.

[chillywilly777]

It has gotten better recently in regards to real "E" teams playing in Worlds.

Owens25 does not play with us.

[USSSAFairborn]

It has gotten better recently in regards to real "E" teams playing in Worlds.

Every team we played in Worlds last year was a competitive game. The year before was also. In 2006, we lost to the Bergen Dragons (2nd Place Finish) 7-6 in 8 innings (Had the last out of the game played perfectly and our 2nd Baseman moved our MI to a different spot on the field thinking the guys twin brother was up).
Last year, we lost to Hooters/D&C Landscaping (5th) 9-7 (Bases loaded 2 outs our LF hits a seed down the line. Their LF trips over his feet, falls, and catches the ball to end the game).

E Worlds, IMO, is matched pretty evenly.

The batch this year is much more evenly matched geographically with the move ups of ITEX, OC, Playmakers, Team CI, Wooster, Buckeye, Miller Builders, and a few others. It has been interesting to watch some of the newer teams play.

Are the Young Guns (Cy's team) still around this year? Had some really good games with them last year and enjoyed watching their team.

[Loveless37]

please stop the ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo thing its pretty lame on a message board. just saying man. save it for the games

[EXP23]

Yeah, I agree, a team winning the E City Slam the story of the year? C'mon, story of the year when DD is talking amongst themselves at the ballpark maybe.

[DIRTY DOZEN]

dont think he meant story of the year in softball but story of the year on the messageboards because for the last two weeks 85% of all these threads have been about the dirty dirty. Why would you post a new thread about us every single day if you didn't care about a "E" team right. Everybody on this website is talking bad about us except for a handful of people. Why even waste your time, we pay all you "studs" so you say no attention. And its a little funny how you can even talk about winning something RENEGADES when last year who beat you guys in the metro, oh ya that was us and what place did you finish in this years city slam, oh ya 5th. We finished 4th. Ya we prolly can't hold there jocks because they were supposed to blow us out in that game. I think it was the other way around 18-8. Why won't yall just leave us alone and let us do us. we would like to have our jocks back someday. oooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LittleLeager24]

thanks for mentioning that. :) I was waiting for someone to say something about it lol

[DIRTY DOZEN]

[DD10]

Never said anything about you guys being scared. Never said anything about you backing down either.

[DIRTY DOZEN]

you just want us to play in it so we can get embarassed right

[DD10]

you just want us to play in it so we can get embarassed right

Nope. I have been playing this sport too long just to see teams embarass themselves. I just like to see how everyone shakes out.

J-Taps had a hell of a run last year. Interesed in seeing if there is another team out there that could make the same type of run, that's all.

[cwillhoff32]

the best thing about the dirty dozen is they have RANDY MACHO MAN SAVAGE on there team 0000hhhhhhhhhhhh yeeeaaah

[DD10]

What division are you guys going to play in the Metro this year anyways?

[KOSTOFF2]

Haha. That was fun, I will say that. Until we ran into Blitz and Freeze our next two games. Oh well....fun while it lasted.

[DD10]

You guys left everything on the field! That's the way it should be done. Hell of a run.

[KOSTOFF2]

You guys left everything on the field! That's the way it should be done. Hell of a run.

That's what we try and do every weekend even now. That is what I told my players before the year started was just want the game more than the other team...can't get mad as a coach if they do that.....although I still usually find something...haha. Thanks for the compliments.

Whatever happend to the days when all of the teams could leave it all on the field and then grab a beer and laugh afterwards. I know some of us still do that, but it seems as if it is getting few and far between...

[KOSTOFF2]

Yes, it has to happen on my team or you can't play for me. I have seen heart and fire beat a whole lot more talented teams.

[GoinOppo41]

Whenever you want to have a beer with us after a game just say the word. Chances are we'll be having one anyways lol

[kyredleg24]

Man the tri-state has the best talkin board smackin E teams in the nation i'd say... this is some good stuff

[RENEGADES#6]

Totally different Renegades this year buddy.

It's always the E teams that want to talk trash. You don't see this kind of chit from the upper level teams.

I wore my LnL shirt last week just for you.

[diamondfreak31]

I started this thread just to see how many good "E" teams were floating around in the area. I don't believe all the "E" teams are all about stroking their egos, but I've been reading about the same team for a couple weeks and wanted to shed some light on the rest of us sitting here in Single A. LOL.

All of our teams could say they have hung with or beat some of these higher division teams but does that really matter?

We beat JTapps in a C-D-E round robin last year at Expressway, I could say we beat a D and now a C team, but honestly how would I know if they were a staffing their full squad that day? We played them once in two years. Sure it was nice to know we had the ability to beat them, but we have no clue if they were even playing their core group.

Just saying, you can talk about beat this team or that team once but that doesn't mean you are at a higher level.

I agree. We beat JLC last year in an equalizer. But we played by their rules (HR limit). We just happened to hit and play good defense. They didn't hit particularly well. That was just the one out of 20 times if we played them, we'd win.

jtaps team from last year and the "new" jtaps team are TOTALLY different....most of the guys from jtap last year formed cincy sports meds

[KOSTOFF2]

jtaps team from last year and the "new" jtaps team are TOTALLY different....most of the guys from jtap last year formed cincy sports meds

I do have to agree with that. We have 11 new guys from last years team....Not saying you couldn't hang with our team this year...but they are completely different teams.

[diamondfreak31]

I was just mentioning the fact that everytime some of these teams beats a team from a different division they gotta go and brag about themselves. I'm sure we might be able to hang with a lot of the teams around, but just because you beat a team with a known name (like J Taps) doesn't mean you are better than them.

The tourney where we beat them and two other teams, another D and a C from last year, we were on fire, hitting lasers down the lines and playing great defensive, but a few weeks later we went to State and met a team nobody knew and we played flat. Which just goes to show you can't count anyone out on any given Sunday.

[chillywilly777]

Not sure what that has to do with the point he is trying to make.

[chillywilly777]

Just was saying that the jtaps this year is ALOT more solid than the Jtaps of last year....

and......what does how improved Jtaps is this year have to do with the point he is making? That just because a lower division team can get hot and beat a higher division team in a single game doesn't mean they should go around thinking they are so much better than they really are. Take pride in the win sure, but it was just one game.

[Wolfeja]

WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!

Are the Young Guns (Cy's team) still around this year? Had some really good games with them last year and enjoyed watching their team.

Cy's "Younguns" team is history. They all split up. A few guys are playing with Renegades and others, including Cy, are with blue Collar. I agree, I loved watching them, except when they kicked our arses last year at the D State. Anyways, like it or not, you won't be seeing the same Younguns team that you saw last year.

[team lightning]

well even though we have played pretty much like s*** so far this year we still have 420 points all of which are not posted yet. i really dont know why either. but we can be a good team also. i just hope we gel here soon. agreed there are alot of teams who could win any tourny any weekend! good luck to everyone!

[diamondfreak31]

Hey Team Lightning didn't you guys play under a different name last year?

[mwhit10]

points have nothing to do with how good you are. If that was true the saints would be the best team in the city for years. Also just cause you win a tourney like the city slam don't mean you are the best team in the city. Wait till the big ones when it is two and out and lets see which teams survive a real tourney. In that format dnd would of been done early in the slam. But I give them credit for forgetting about the round robin and coming out strong in the two and out.

[USSSAFairborn]

If I recall correctly, we beat them both times we played them.... 6-5 and 4-3. Both were good games with a lot of talk but some really good pitching and defense. I remember watching them play a team from Illinois at National and it was by far the most interesting game of the year in the E Class. ALOT of S**t talking in that one.

Like I said though, I agree, I believe it is pretty wide open for anyone to take State in Ohio. I would venture to guess there will be some strength from Michigan and Indiana at Nationals.

[team lightning]

we were pitt ohio last year

[diamondfreak31]

Thats what I thought, You guys have a tough team if your still intact, that is.
