[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I think he was telling you the exact opposite. A "major upset" would be if VYS was ranked 200th in the region and they went on to beat PDA. The difference between 13th and 8th is not that great. This VYS team is obviously  a very strong so while technically lower ranked and an "upset"  the teams where close enough that it was really anyone's game.

From that post:

He doesn't have a point besides trying denigrate all things VYS no matter what. Then he gripes that no one wants to have a reasonable discussion, even though we've had plenty of reasonable discussions in this thread.[/quote]

I never denigrated VYS. I simply stated that this particular team was ranked highly and as such it was a minor upset. To say that VYS is struggling as a club isn't denigrating or news, it is just facts. I have made no personal attacks, passed any judgment, mocked or laughed at your club. I stated facts, facts that anyone can look up and see for themselves. [/quote]

You mocked people ("whatever it takes to make you feel better"), passed plenty of judgment and offered up "facts" that don't hold up under scrutiny.

Let's move on to the actual issues within the club, which are:

1. Finding the right level of play in an environment in which everyone's fleeing to an "elite" league.

2. Balancing that level of play with travel requirements. I know plenty of Vienna parents who simply do not want VPL travel, and some have gone to top-tier NCSL teams or elsewhere.

3. Field space. Must be nice to be in Loudoun.

4. Finding the right level of competition for a town with a population of a little under 17,000 (expand to surroundings, maybe 30-40k, but there's plenty of competition for those players) that is a traditional baseball powerhouse.

5. Rebuilding rec play for U9s on up.

6. Going with or without an executive director. (They've just announced that they're going without again.)

I'm glad people care enough to discuss all that. A lot of clubs have similar issues -- or unique issues -- but people here seem to care more about VYS. So let's move on and do that.[/quote]

The "what ever makes you feel better post" wasn't me. [/quote]
