Not CI. That's for sure.

time will tell summer is coming

never played CI, but nothing with best in front of it can come out of CI. If we talk about worst category, now CI has a chance.

Estee who, never heard of him. And of course he didn't go far, who from CI does. Win at least ONE game then you can talk.

We're trying to understand your point. The guy came from an area that wasn't an exact hotbed for travel baseball and he was drafted. Thats quite an accomplishment. What in the world does being from CI have to do with going far?

I guess you never heard of Mike Tice either? He's football but still from CI.

Go ahead and say you never heard of him either.

You're a real winner. NOBODY has heard of you.

Look up the 2002 MLB draft and you will see his name.
Estee won many games for CI.

How many games did you win? I guess you have something against the racial makeup of CI?

Estee maxed out in AA.

We ran into him in the fall last year. He is playing independent league for as long as he can. If it doesnt work out he will use the money Yankees put aside for him and finish college.

He had a shot. Don't bust on the guy b/c of where he's from. You gotta be kidding me right?

estee was also inducted in to the central islip little league

My point is, in a nut shell that CI, no matter what race or creed, doesn't breed any talent. I've seen them play at some tournaments. Don't ride one person's accomplishments to try and justify the talent in CI. Wake up. The topic here ask who is the best team or town team. Just face it CI can not be mentioned in the same sentence when you discusss the best. NO talent and garbage coaches equals TRASH

There are plenty of talented kids from CI but they ussually dont stay and play in CI little league for long there schools have been struggling to keep there sports programs and that makes it worse. It a shame that the kids who need these after school programs to keep kids out of trouble are always the ones to lose them.

Why do we have to bring baseball rants on a softball website,that was a very rude comment about c.i.we are talking about a 10u softball team, we also have a 10u team in our organisation,they workedout all winter and all they did was have fun,they may not be the best,but they will compete,and in the end isin't that what we want,to learn skills have fun and move on to the next level,thank you CI lady yankee for taking the time out of youe shedule to help girls softball,If my mom were still alive i know she would be doing the same thing,I hope our shock team plays your team this year,thank you

Answer this. How come all the good players, who are interested in playing find there way on other teams in other towns? Can you please explain that to me. I'm not bashing little kids, I'm just giving my opinion on your team and your program. Most kids may not have talent, but those that do suffer from the lack of good coaching and the fact that being that there is so many that don't have talent, the ones that do, don't get the needed attention from the coaches because they're too busy catering and going over and over things with the kids that don't have the talent and that might not even continue with baseball/softball in the future. Whether I've seen them play or not, I know for a fact that CI sucks when it comes to sports. No, I may not have seen the softball team play any tournaments, but I did see a game with the boys baseball. And to be honest, that team showed like they had a little potential, one coach seemed like he knew what he was doing but the other coach/coaches were clueless. MY point, with the coaches from CI. Nevertheless they also didn't win anything. If I ever played against you doesn't matter, I know people with kids in the CI programs and I've seen some games. I just gave may opinion on what I know from what I've seen. You started this thread as the CI Lady Yankee Coach asking who the best 10u softball team is, obviously because you are the coach of CI Lady Yankees and you must feel that your team is good. You start a Thread like that to hear feedback, correct? Well you have to take the good with the bad, Look at it as constructive critizism. And as a way to better your team. Everyone that makes a comment that you agree with, you thank them. But me, when I make a comment, that is the truth, you get mad and start debating with me. You need to thank me! Face the facts and stop lying to yourself.

You sound clueless. Where are all these 10U teams you talk about. Can you name a few.You were offered Coaching positions??

CI has some talent on the baseball team. The shortstop is signed and committed with a scholarship to LIU.
sir, or madam, whomever you are, it takes talent and grades/SAT scores to get a scholarship in baseball. The area may not be that strong for travel programs but there are diamonds in the rough over there, and alot of talent.

She doesn't need to thank you. You need to wake up and smell the coffee.

And you never heard of Mike Tice? Mr. Tice, now an NFL assistant coach, was a Hansen Award winner as the best football player in Suffolk County. Right from good old CI!

You still haven't told anyone your accomplishments. To say that CI sucks in sports is a bold statement. What HS do your kids attend, or will attend? I'd love to critique them as well.

I can't see those programs offering a coaching position to a coach who hasn't had a winning season yet. Stop kidding yourself.

Elite Travel Programs??

What baseball team is this you speak of? It can't be the high school, because I've watched them play and they got smacked around. Shortstop signed to LIU... Mike Tice, Hansen award, Estee Harris, drafted and CI hall of fame....wow. You guys from CI kill me with all your town celebs. Stop kidding yourself. Every town has one, two, maybe even three names they can call out to try and acknowledge their town. It means nothing. these names you named have never been heard of outside of CI, hell I bet most peolpe in CI haven't even heard of them. You need to wake up and smell the coffee. CI doesn't even have a piece of coal in the rough. Leave the pride aside and face the facts.

our program is a little league program that plays little league in the spring and summer we play in njbl travel league. i never wrote about my team being so great i said we were good and getting better. We don't play in tournaments until the season is over then we start travel ball. I wanted to know of other teams that were good travel teams and had a good town program maybe set up some scrimmages that was all

so then where are you from? We're all dying to know about the accomplishments of your own hometown.

Even Stevie Wonder can SEE that CI LL, travel teams and school teams suck. And can forget that horrible PAL team.

So how did you do at the Williamsport Tournament last year? Again good tournament to rate each town on their talent and potential. And what happens....CI falls short. Haven't won a district championship in over 10 years.

If you could rate a team by their coach's pride and love for his town, hell you guys would be in the Little League World Series every year. But too bad for you it doesn't work that way. Your team has to be good enough to make it out of that Tournament. So sorry you won't be getting any championships anytime soon.

We never got to play williamsport last year we didn't have enough girls from the same age bracket to play in the tournament this year we will. We finally have enough girls that are at the same ages. Our junior basdball team was district champs 2 years ago check the facts not 10 years only 2.
Your town won how many years ago

This person has some loose screws in the brain you keep talking about things that don't pertain to softball.

what team do you represent??? or town

I asked the best you still haven't named any of them.. Your talking about different things that don't pertain to the topic. (softball) Our team is good you cant argue something you don't know. Tell me what gives you the knowledge to argue this topic. A parent who sits on the side cant argue as a spectator. i have given you points but you keep talking about baseball and town and other stuff. Its cool if you cant argue. I bet if i wrote about wood bats you would argue all about metal bats one that has nothing to do with the other. This is pretty funny

Yeah, answer that. If you're such a great coach and you team is good and getting better. Please tell me how many games have you lost by run-rule. I bet its more games than you've won. YOu guys get run-ruled almost every game. THis is the talent which YOU train that moves on to Junior high and high school and continue to suck, this is why the high school teams can't win a game either. You're a horrible coach and you're breeding horrible players for the CI community. What the hell are you teaching your players?

I already told you I don't represent any town or team, I feel that's pointless. I use my pride to be proud of more important things in life.

You asked who was the best to try and get teams to scrimmage you. I think YOU have some screws loose. Why wouldn't you just write " ANY TEAMS WANT TO SCRIMMAGE THE LADY YANKEES" . Don't you think that would've got you a better response? Or are you just that dumb. I already know you were dumb at coaching, I didn't think you were just an idoit in general.

NO, your team is not good at all, I've heard about them and I've seen you play and I've seen you coach, You and your team is horrible. Whether I'm a spectator or not. I see what I see, you can't hide from it. You can't give me any points because you make no sense, you are lying about your teams potential. You can't argue that, stop lying to yourself. We need to ask someone else, because you will never speak the truth about your team because your pride won't let you, or you're just that dumb not to realize it. keep it real with yourself. If you team sucks, they suck. it's ok, there are plenty of teams out there that suck.

I'm done debating with you, you make no sense at all, you take what I say and try to turn it around and don't even get it straight.

I see why now you are so proud of your team. It's fatherly pride. You will never admit that your team sucks because your daughter is on that team. Again, you a merely living a lie. But at least admit that you are a horrible coach.

And I have seen you guys play and I've heard of teams that played against you and have crushed you. Yes crush as in run-rule, again stop lying to yourself.

Yeah how about you name some of the teams that you feel are the best teams out there. Lets hear your opinion. you started this theard and you have not mentioned one team yet. And PLEASE don't mention your team. Everyone knows they don't rank no where near the top. Especially that you said there are Hundreds of thousand teams out there.

There is no competition thats why.

LI Bandits

Where are the Bandits playing? And who have they beat so far. I don't see them listed anywhere.

10u shock just beat conyo 6-5 enough said L.I.shock should be top of the list

Wow you really are the best, now go beat your chest somewhere were someone cares. There 10 does this really matter, just let them play

Ok Shock #1 lets see what you can do with Team long island 10u

Notice: No quick remarks by shock tonight....10u softball, when it is 'good' ball, is fun to play and watch! Competition makes the girls better! Shock has a great group of heads up players! It's not about who is number 1, because at this level, to play as well as these two teams did this week, shows they r 'learning' and 'loving' the game! Eras made by both teams! Great plays made by both teams! = Great 10u softball!

I am apalled by anyone who can throw another GREAT team under the bus for "bragging rights"! They are 10u girls learning the game! Props to both teams!!!!

Thats right let them play there only 10,so why do you put team L.I. in this,they will beat team L.I. and TLI will beat them,at this level it's all about learning and who makes less mistakes and at 10u they will all make mistakes,on any given day anyone can beat anybody,so lets let the girls play and stop worrying about who's the best,your probably talking to a girl on the team or one of there crazy parents,so if you want to fight go to the baseball blogs,there a bunch of crazys there,lets keep girls fastpitch softball competetive and fun for the GIRLS....

thanks for that
