Crosby's refusal to play their best defensive players is there downfall. Quick playoff exit because of it.

KP 1st, GP 2nd, Crosby 3rd, GCM probaly 4th. Like to see BH get in though. KP looks strong across the board, should make a good run in the playoffs. GP has the sticks to make a good run in the playoffs. Crosby could go out first round. GCM may make it to the 2nd round. Based on what i've seen this year.

[quote name="The best game" post="788611" timestamp="1270874854"] Pitiful game by Crosby.  Don't know if the true colors are coming out, but I think thats what happens when the kids get the big head and think they can walk in and the other team will lay down.  This is varsity and you can't spot any team 6 runs with errors on routine plays and expect to win.  Bad plays, no hitting in the clutch and questionable coaching decisions equals a loss. Lets see if Wiggins can motivate the players get serious and play the game they are capable of.  A lineup change was needed and to his credit he did that (although more was needed), but why bring JV players up to start a game?  Have you no confidence in any of other 10 players on the bench that are your VARSITY players? [/quote]He has his favorites and that's who he is going to play. How you perform makes no difference to him. Sad, sad,sad.

If Crosby doesn't start putting their BEST defensive players on the field, this having to come from behind to win is going to wind up costing them. Very well could be tonight against GP.

Mangum lead off the 10th w/ a walk stole 2nd and Langley brought him in for the win. Same kid for Crosby that came on in the bottom of the 7th in the BH tournament Championship game and got the final 2 outs of that bases loaded jam w/ strike outs to save that game.
