It looks like this thing is eventually going to come to blows. Before it does I suggest we pit them in a series of olympic style events for our own gambling and entertainment purposes. Coventry Softball trailer trash style of course. Race backward around the bases. Home run derby at Washington Oak. Drinking contest. And whatever else we decide makes us all laugh. We can let them finish it off with a steel cage match.

yup artie, once again youre right. im off to a terrible start at clegg 6-22.
the problem is how you always contradict yourself (that means say one thing, then say the exact opposite) at 10:21 you post that about me having a bad year. at 10:32 you text me "seriously you shoulda stuck it out everything I said has pretty much come true!!" (ill save this if anyone wants to see it on the phone)
for those of you who don't know: I quit artie's night league/tournament team because i wasn't getting enough playing time. i wasn't playing because i don't hit well enough.
so one minute i suck enough to rip me on the message board and eleven minutes later i should have stayed and played on your team?
im sure you'll post that you were just kidding...which is fine...
i bet you'll lose more players this year than win tournaments. current score: players lost = 2 tournaments won = 0.....and like you, im just kidding

Hey Smitty that must have been a group text that you got because i got the same one. What is the wager on the bet because i want in on it to. although i do think the Prata team may pull off some tourney wins i dont know if it will be enough. I've made some phone calls and there are atleast 2 more that are not happy on that team that may be jumping ship. Guess whose gonna be the one throwing them a life Raft? ME! come abourd fellas its gonna be a fun. Im not a weasel because i dont have to do anything behind anyones back i come out and say i called your players and put the bug in their ears.

Hodde i have to be honest i think Artie would beat you in a race. Def in a HR contest . Def in a hot dog eating contest. But there is no way in hell he is beating you in a beer drinking contest. Shit the only one that can give you a run for your money with beer drinking is Mr. Rob Raymond.

Smitty like i said in the last text i thought the first zing was towards me that's why zinged back . The text message was to be like a makeup hug . I did joke about the $7000 error and a voodoo doll and a lock of your hair. Seriously a lock of your hair and you took it to heart . OK you left the Prata bar i stand by what i said we are playing D which means we never get a gimme game and we need guys to hit . Yes if we had a full lineup you may have been out but like i said shit happens and guys will not be able to make every tournament , guys will get hurt and yes guys will quit . You would have played in almost every tournament and played almost every game and had a chance to earn a starting spot in the worlds . What we have as a team goal is to have a deep team to go to the worlds . So whatever you wanna think i zinged you because i thought you zinged me that's it . And you would have had plenty of playing time if you would have had some patiences , two years ago we would have never had a problem .
CR we can talk on the phone about any issues because unless i am wrong you play with me and some of the Prata guys on sunday mornings and i will not bash a player or teamate on any team on a open forum like this .
Nate , Big Country , Big Dummy what ever you wanna be called by . Just to let everyone know there is a liitle bit of message board sensorship going on here . Nate posted this 932am hey for the prata bar / botelho / vfw / fucking sellout golf tournament me , riley , smitty could put a threesome , and then we would pick up a fourth from the next bailout from your overated juice shop of a team !!! ( no merit towards ianelli or EW33 , those are my nig&@$ )
then the post is deleted and this is posted the next two posts
Nate sour grapes because i wouldnt let you play for the "juice shop"
IS THIS GONNA BE SENSORED TOO OR DO WE JUST DELETE POSTS THAT ARE MADE BY BIG DUMMYS WHO PLAY ON SMITTYS TEAM !!! YES NATE I KNOW THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DELETE IS SMITTY !!!

This would be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic. Can everyone just grow up?

i took it down b/c nate said he would put it back up without the N WORD. but thanks for putting it up again. it had nothing to do with him being on my team or how it affected you.
as for the quitting thing... ill tell you again. im not interested in playing when other guys don't show up. im not interested in sitting at a field all day saturday to watch people play in case of an injury or to go in for 3 innings as a defensive replacement. you can call it selfish if you want, but im having a hard time finding people, other than you, that don't understand my decision. i want to play. im not interested in picking guys up all year long who can't make it or quit or whatever and then go to florida and watch. the fact that you can't understand that just continues to prove that i made the right decision.
Trust Construction is a great group of guys and no one is ever blamed for any mistakes. so far we've won and lost every game as a team. even after two embarrassing losses not one person blamed another it was just "we" sucked and other "we" comments.
you keep trying to make me out to be a bad guy on this board. the problem is, unlike you, i have nothing to hide. i was trying to get nate to repost like he said he would. instead he put up that disgusting mush. i was trying to figure out the best way to explain the situation since i didn't save the post like you. so thanks for helping out.
finally, the artiekarate routine is getting old. almost every time you post you insult someone and if they are offended or fire back you immediately go on the defensive. "i was kidding" or "im just bustin" or "i didn't realize you couldn't take a joke"
i mean really, we all see it. you say whatever you want until you get called out on it. and if anyone says anything about you, you flip out and go way over the top.

smitty If I'm not mistaken the thread reads Artie vs Hodde !! So when you posted the hot dog eating contest I assumed it was directed at me . More than half of my posts are replies to post about me or the VFW . So I should not reply ? I posted nothing about your playing time or situation with the prata bar you did I just responded

blah blah blah ...less talk about Artie more talk about my homeruns! 2 monster matchups this week . PNA vs Moulton and VFW VS BIMS ( I hate typing my own name ). Hopefully it will be whats best about Coventry Softball and not insipid trash talking from the sidelines. Hitters galore..a couple of the best infielders in the league, several terrifc outfielders..should be great games to watch. And if things do get out of hand..let me remind you that Big Country is 6'5 260 and could swat planes from the Empire State Building

I will be out there this weekend giving 110%. Botellos wears 2007 champions on the back of their hats. If that doesn't fire the VFW up i dont know what will.

These boards are funny and a good time. I don't know why any post on here should get somebody worked up. I know I will get ripped to shreds for typing this, but artie posts on here to stir up shit and joke around nothing he posts here is meant to be taken so seriously. People insult him all the time. If i recall the thread title is a shot at him... then he gets another shot taken at him by smitty .... then I one of his players decides to take a shot at him (jokingly of course) like i thought all the posts were. Then people start with real shit and issues. Relax like guapo said its fun to bust balls but does it have to be so personal at times? Although it is fun to read.
A part of me wonders if this isnt a plan concoted by the board nazi (Mr. Smith) to get ratings up! He is a shrewd operator (for a teacher).

Wow you guys really know how to ruin a good joke. I started this after drinking with Hodde and it was clear he was not taking it too seriously and laughed about the beating he was taking on the board. You all took it to another level that was unnecessary.
Artie. I have never had any problems with you ever. We always got along and know when to draw the line with each other. But when so many others seem to have issues with you, maybe you need to consider that you might be doing something wrong.
Big Country / Big Dummy. You need to know your right from your left before you are allowed to talk the smack. Have a kiss sweetheart ;)
Mertog I am offended. I get no love for my hitting prowess from you. EVER!
Smitty. That's all part of getting old. You have 2 good years and 1 crapper. Welcome to softball old age.

i think most of you need to sit on that monkeys fingers and rotate, that would make me laugh the most. hahah
all in all. arite made a good team. some may not like him / the way he does things / the way he acts but he did make a good team.
smitty wasnt getting playing time, id leave to. we dont get paid to go there and watch everyone play if we got paid to play/watch sign me up ill sit every game.
in arties defense u need to hit to play. but how do you get out of a funk if u dont get playing time? smitty is a good fit with us.
im not to sure as to why riley left but like he said thats between him and artie and not my business = i dont care. glad to have ya.
EW is a manbeast...
