Dear dimwit on the phone

What's a worse way to get game or season stats sent to you?

 

I hope you sent this back with a polite "WTF is this?" message.

 

Just to clarify, the attached are cropped screenshots. They did send stats too. Was only referring to how the names are listed.

 

Which was bad enough.

 

Had a box score turned in once that only had first names listed for one team.

 

Dear Dimwit Coach on Facebook,

I'm sorry if you think our headlines are "negative" and that your players "shouldn't have to see such negativity," but the reason the headline for the last game read "Podunk blown out by Shelbyville" was because Podunk got blown out by Shelbyville. When you fall behind 12-0 after two innings and lose 13-5, that's kind of the definition of being blown out. If the score had been flipped, it would have been "Podunk blows out Shelbyville" and I doubt you'd have any problem with it -- especially since you didn't go on a Facebook rant about it last week when you did beat a crappy team 26-0 and the headline was similar to this one.
Maybe not give up 54 runs in your last four games and our headlines will be a bit more positive.

Cheers,

Batman

Part of me wants to get ridiculously passive aggressive this week and write headlines like "Podunk tries really hard against Shelbyville" the next time they get their ass beat.

 

Or, forget the passive part and say "Podunk outcoached by Shelbyville."

 

They have a couple of games left before the playoffs, so I'm hoping they win big in one of them so I can write "Podunk blows out Shelbyville" and see if there's any reaction.
Somehow, I doubt there will be.

 

We just got an email for a basketball game played on March 4.

Just think of the calls and emails we'll get if we don't run it....

 

That's taking a hell of a long time to cost a kid a scholarship.
