| Thanks Chris, as always you and your club are our stiffest competition and nothing but class.
In my first response to forum ever I would like to respond to Mr grumpy pants Luke Vogel and his assertion that the Millers have nothing but AA players on the roster: Mr. Vogel here is a quick run down of the pedigree of the team that dropped 20 runs and 25 hits on you Sunday:
1B Steve Schmitz DII Mankato State
2B Jake Waldman DII Concordia St Paul
SS Joe Shallenberger DII Concordia St Paul
(1 year unafilliated St Paul Saints)
3B Joe Abellera DII Concordia St Paul
( 1 year rookie league Twins )
C Scott Coolong DII Grandview College
LF Blaine Rutledge DII Central Missouri State
CF Chris Urbain DII Mankato State
RF Matt Borman DII Concordia St Paul
( 1/2 year unafilliated Frontier League
PH Jay Mikenas JC Riverside CC
PH Corey Eckhoff DII North Dakota State
DH Aron Amundson DI Minnesota
PH Derek Mason DII Concordia St. Paul
PH Brandon Broxey DII Minnesota Duluth
There is quite frankly not one person on our roster who ever played above single A ball and only three who played afilliated rookie league for a season. If your going to whine get your facts straight, last I checked your shortstop played several years at the triple "A level.

| Hoy, Shally Sr and Millers:
Congrats again! DYNASTY? Yes, hands down, and this year they did it without the AllStar of AllStars behind the plate (Richards).
Won not because of any affiliated ballplayers (or any other excuses some will make), but because they were better than everyone else this year/Tourney - hands down...
until next year.

| Hoy-
Congrats on another "no doubt" title. Keep this in mind-when you win, you don't need to explain yourself. When others question, it's just because they are looking up at someone...

| Concgrats to all on a 9th Championship!
All the complaining about Tonka this and Park that started right about 1997. That was the year Park decided to swing wood against everyone elses aluminum....there were two years of that and two seconds for Park with two firsts for Tonka.
Then in 1999 everyone went wood and The Millers beat Park again. Since then other then what one year?.......it has either been Park or Tonka taking home the iron.
The thing is every team has the same opportunity to go out and get whatever players they want per the rules. However the situation is three fold in regards to the type of players these two clubs have and continue to attract to their teams.
1) Hoy and Johnson do a very good job of presenting themselves as two men who run well organized flat out professional recreational organizations.
2) Good players want to go to good teams and play with other good players.
3) Mainly because of Hoy and Johnson along with the players they bring in both those teams over many years "GET IT."
Some don't know what "getting it means" but as previously mentioned good players who "get it" want to go play for good teams that have other good players who also "GET IT."
EVERY YEAR THERE IS PISSING AND MOANING FROM ALL BUT A FEW TEAMS ABOUT THE PLAYERS TONKA AND PARK PUT OUT THERE YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.
IT ALL GETS ALMOST AS OLD AS ME POSTING ON THE FORUM DOESN'T IT?!?!?!?!?!?
Perhaps the only thing that is more comical then my banter and all the complaining/whining about Park this and Tonka that is when Park and Tonka get beat (because it is baseball) and then all of the sudden there is a new dynasty around town or some hapless little club thinks they are better because they win a game or two AND DON'T GET IT.
There are only two Class A dynastys and even if things changed next year it would take another 15 years after that for any team to come close to equaling what these two clubs have done.
My respect to all that deserve it and sorry I piss people off but if you knew me then you would "get it."

| Sorry O.T. there is only one dynasty, that's the Millers. 9 of the last 13 Championships. Park is good, but 2 times in those 13 years doesn't make you a dynasty!!!! I would say next to Tonka, Park is the next best class A team. Congrats to the Millers as you have shown again why you are the cream of the crop. Hoy, great job of putting together another Championship Team.

| Your right Charlie Hustle....."one dynasty" and one other team with a track record that should command respect yet there are always clowns out of the wood work who want to complain about big league rosters, roids, playing at babe ruth fields ect......
