Parmenter you never cease to amaze me. Thank you for the kind words. Good luck to Race and all that he does in life. Believe it or not, for all the bantering online we do, I have great respect for you and your son. Take care and I am sure we will see you around the ball field!! Respectfully,
Kristin

I was soooo hoping someone would comment on the “soft writings” I’ve posted here but figured after the embarrassing posturing earlier in the season and the lack of visibility of parmenter…I elected NOT to jinx our players and put even more pressure than they and our coaches do to themselves. I do, from the bottom of the black hole in my chest where a heart should reside, remember the ugliness that first turned me on to this pasttime. I truly have no doubt that you and your fine son were pulling for the Chargers…just like we would have done for Marina. But…I wonder how ugly this site would have gotten had it been Edison vs Marina last Saturday. It went down that dead end highway when we played each other every time this season…so…my soft writings are thanks to you. High road gets you where you want to go without dissing your opponent. While our team may not mirror my writings, they display outstanding sportsmanship on the field, respect the game, their opponents, coaches and of course…family.

Edison Baseball 2009! Guys seriously, great yar, this team is no way indicative of the SOFT writings of lovethegame. On the contrary, they are the complete opposite. Avry tough, had nosed team with a football mentality and alot of heart! race and I were both hoping for an Edison victory!
The coaches are very tough, loving, and push this team. Iam proud of all of you and your HB roots! it was a long tough road for basebal lin a beach/surf town. Summers i riverside,murrieta, chino hills, remember? Heres the payoff for all that hard work! Take it and run and keep being successful in LIFE!!!

While Ms Cougar Den has ruined many an afternoon for some of us…let’s not allow our water to seek that murky level. And…if it is Mr Cougar Den…then we all know he has issues. Ignore the comments and enjoy healthy banter…that’s what it’s all about isn’t it? CD’s rants remind me of a sweet mix of Robert Duvall and Will Ferrel in “Kicking and Screaming”. Getting a visual?

MD as an opponent was a class act as well. As a parent I decidedly opted to ignore the hype for any of our opponents which could perhaps be exactly what our players did during the playoffs. Every game we played all season were for our two teammates that left us too soon. I would venture to say we played most of our games as if it were our last…memories were made, victories were sweet and defeat was a lesson.

Ignore Cougar Den and he will be just like the elementary school bully…an outcast, alone and embarrassed.

Good luck Tyler Matzek on Tuesday…make your parents, teammates, coach and even your opponents proud.

capo parent…thanks so much and I’m sure that is not just from me but all of our supporters. Yeah…you are right…just a few idiots can taint an entire teams image. That’s ok..hiding behind an anonymous name on a blog is cowardice. While my full name is not posted…the only thing I will write about are the positives which is easy since most of us behave like adults. Your fans were gracious at the field as well as after the game. It would be AMAZING to meet next year. Thanks so much for your kind words…Saturday is a day none of us will forget!

Anonymous blogs where you can change your name with each post should not exist. Shame on the OC Register for such a poor format.

Lovethegame, some bloggers do not represent our team very well. Actually for the most part our players, parents and fans are great. It has been a wonderful four years with this group culminating in a dream of a win. All of our players contributed.

One or two people with poor character can really taint something cant they?

I assure you the rest of us just want to congratulate you on a fantastic season and your play on Sat. night. Kurt Heyer was a righthanded batters nightmare. The movement he gets on his ball is just outstanding. Your fielding was great and your hitters worked hard.

You will be just as good next year. Your whole team was classy as were your fans.

You said it best. CHARGERS ROCK! Not just one of you…all of you.

Best of luck next year.

As a very proud Edison parent just returning from our end of the season banquet I must say it is an embarrassment as an adult to read what is written here. Who did Capo Valley SURVIVE lastnight…Mater Dei or Edison? (not my words..it’s the headline)

Capo Valley played a great game. Formidable opponent. Props to the victory…great fielding, Chambers pitched an excellent game, fans are respectful (with just a few exceptions that post here and more than likely have self esteem issues) and from what I previously read and saw lastnight a very good coach. Not to worry…I’m not forgetting to mention Matzek. What an athlete..the young man is impressive at every position and I guess his hitting goes without saying…it was your night.

A tiny glimpse into Edison…Kurt Heyer, multiple recognitions as a Scholar Athlete, Baseball awards that could probably fill every wall of a home, pitched the e n t i r e game…that’s right…e n t i r e game. Kurt never wavered, he understands that he alone cannot win a game. It takes a team..all of them…our catcher is a wall, if it gets past our infield…it’s a good hit and the wheels on our outfield back those guys up and made outstanding plays this season. On the bench coming off an amazing victory against MD…Henry Owens. Henry is a sophomore…ouch.

My point with this novella…one man does not make a team..one man does not win a game. A team pulls together during tough times and more so in good. The coaches mentor them as a group and this year Lambright, Capucilli, Tallman (s) both of you!…did just that.

Edison kicked butt lastnight. Based on the lack of mention here, perhaps you see that our team will be back with a vengeance next year. Smell the fear…

Congratulations Capo Valley and Tyler. 1-0 was not an easy win.

To the best group of guys, thanks for a tremendous season, making us so proud of you. CHARGERS ROCK! Not just one of you…all of you.

hey Cougar den, whats your deal that you feel it is awesome to live your life off of high school kids accomplishments. your “team” is nothing . your star, your shinning “star” is all that you have holding your team. He has proved himself and should be proud , not you! you don’t do anything but ride the wagon and talk trash on everyone else (I meant Mater Dei). Don’t be proud of yourself for a great year and dont act like you have the right to run your little mouth and talk garbage on another school that you clearly have no Freakin’ idea about. you should be ashamed that you would even mock the school name and bring any type of religion into this. clearly you have issues.
