    Garbage

    This article is nothing but garbage. I am shocked that any respectable editor would allow such an attack in a public manner, on a young student athlete. Disgraceful!
    It is quite obvious that this person has no background in youth athletics.

    Sorry Braves!

    After reading a few of the articles, I believe the guy wants to do a good job and to provide info in an area that is void of HS sports info. I just took issue with the one blog.

    He does have a high opinion of himself:jumprope:

    I'm not sure that he sould use the fact that he was a HS softball coach back in the 80's as my reference as an expert, but if he provides a good service and not "use" a kid to attract attention, more power to him.

    That was about as disgusting a piece of garbage as I have ever read.

    If it was my kid that this hack took to pieces publicly - we would have a dust up - no question about it and regardless of consequences - a good old fashioned dust up.

    To do this - in a public way - to a young amateur - is totally gutless.

    Andy is a great guy. His article was not bashing a player, but the one topic this forum turns their heads to. The fact that members take shots at Pardin for his opinion on the topic of transfers is ridiculous. Anyone who gives their opinion that is not agreed with either the thread gets closed or the poster gets attacked. If your going to have a fair forum, then you have to be able to take the heat. Thisboardsucks.

    Yeah - right.

    Smashing a young kid in a public forum is just super - isnt it?

    Gutless - and disgusting.

    There he is again. Came out from under his rock to beckon his call to a transfer topic. I'm glad you find the author a great guy. We will miss ya!

    But someone please explain who this "pardin" guy is? Does he think it was Andy Partin? Good grief!

    P- this guy has made 14 posts to TBR. You want to guess what each post was about?

    He had a bad personal experience involving a transfer and he has made it his mission to castigate any family that chooses that decision. He was one of the main reasons I kept having to close the threads.

    If anyone wants to attack a player and their family for transferring, you are a hero to catchingheat. He lives for these transfer posts.

    Well, he has found his hero, so he won't be back
