There are two parts to the week. "Regular Games" and "Tournament Games"

Arsenal beat the Fairmont Braves 53-0 (12 run mercy rule) in the regular games part.

Fairmont lost its other three games 0-16, 1-20, and 4-14.

A quick run through the regular games part showed at least 13 games won by 20 or more. There was a 35-0 game and a 30-0 game.

It's the truth.  I heard all about it as it was happening.  A kid on my AAU team played for the Eastern Mass All-Stars this past week at Cooperstown.  I was on the phone with his Dad who was there.  He told me the exact same story about kids breaking the Arsenal pins then throwing them at their barracks. 

53-0 is a sin.  What's the point?  Usually, the high-powered travel teams like the Arsenal know enough to take it easy on single-town teams that go to DreamsPark just for the experience.  I was told that the Arsenal manager was a real jerk about it, too.

If you aren't a top seed, you need to play -- and win -- 5 games in one day. That's just plain crazy.

Five games Wednesday followed by three more on Thursday !!!

On Wednesday you have to win 4 games in order to play against one of the "Top Seeds" - after 4 games how much pitching can you have left !!!

I'll challenge them to come to Houston and just play the four other teams from Houston that won CDP tournaments this year plus a couple of others that are just as good. I am sure California, Georgia, Florida, Arizona and some others would do the same.

Now now Lou - maybe coach has his forged BC ready to go. 

"banned from CDP."

I don't know what CDP is but I assume they were banned from spending $750 per kid to play in a tourney at Cooperstown. How lucky they are!!! Do you think they will lose players who are all paying $250/mo to be a part of their thieving organization? Of course, it isn't thieving when delusional, idiot parent of 8 yr olds will spend $3000 a yr just to be on the team because they have been told the Arsenal will get them a 'ship. Lets see, 3K x 12 yrs is 36k. You will be very fortunate IF your kid gets a college 'ship to ever get 36k in 'ships $$$. The Arsenal is ripping off delusional parents and are scumbags. Come to Texas and get your a## kicked. Or go to Cooperstown and whip bad teams whose parents are as ignorant as yours and will pay $750 per player to play 5 games a day(that isn't fun) at a youth baseball tourney and then because all the Cooperstown people care about is how much $$$ they can suck from the ignorant masses they put a really bad team against the Arsonal and let they kids get beat 53-0.

A pox on Cooperstown and the Arsenal!
