The comments section at http://www.sacbee.com/ is always an entertaining read, but this week it had a personal touch.
Following Ed Fletcher's story about our stolen wires in which the Luck Dragons bragged at winning streaks and beating us without the lights, Coach Nick to the liberty of leaving the following comment:
The Luck Dragons
Suck Dragons is more like it. We'll settle this on the field...you know, once the lights are fixed.
Luckily, for those of us who enjoy laughing at the sincerity of others, there are a lot of people out there that have no idea when a tongue has been placed in a cheek.
Bee reader "mcbfarm" took it upon himself point out the errors of Coach Nick's ways. I had orginally hoped that it was just one of our fellow Tahoe Park softballers joining in the good-natured fun, but I just don't think it is. Here's what was written:
Coach Nick Needs 'Tude Tune-up
I've played D-league softball for 20 years, men's and coed, and start up again on Monday. Our rival teams come from West Sac, Vacaville, Davis, whatever. But nowhen (sic) does it get to "settling", or punk insults. Competition should bring out your best play, or focus -- I know when we play the teams we've been in the league with forever... Maybe Tahoe Park needs softball to avoid gang warfare, I don't know about that. Maybe you need to look at this vandalism and realize that the teams are in this together. The State budget is about to take a bite out of every public thing -- you might need to "settle" with Prop. 13...
Thank you for showing me the light, mcbfarm. And trust me, when we play this "Prop 13" team we will settle with them too.

I've been playing softball for 85 years and I've never heard anything more bush league. And I bet you guys are all a bunch of, what the young-uns call "gang bangers". Your coach Nick is no role model, I tell you what. You and Charles Barkley are one in the same.
