PV Parent:

You comments are just about as classy as Pinole’s 30-0 drubbing of hapless Richmond.

Mcdoofus,

You ask why I am mad at you?

1. “Montgomery because I’ve seen Pinole and I can’t believe they are there”
2. “If my memory serves me correctly they lost two games in that tourmnment, Logan and Carondelet?? One of those was like 8-2.” Wrong on both counts.

No I am not the mother, just a proud parent of the entire PV Softball Championship team, who is ranked #3 in the final season polls. Win a medal before you try dumping on us Mcdummy.

I think it’s a little silly to talk about Pinole Valley haters – almost all fans spend more time rooting for their team than caring whether other teams are good or bad. But I do think Pinole Valley has been underrated consistently. 4 of the last 5 years they have outperformed their seeding in NCS (and the other time they were an 8, losing to a 9). 2 of those years Pinole won as a 14 over a 3 and a 15 over a 2. And now Pinole won the championship as a 3 seed. So if we’re going to talk about softball, let’s talk about whether the seeding’s been right the past few years.

Pv parent,

Are you mad because I said that Pinole played good team ball and weren’t pitcher heavy or are you the mom of the pitcher who transferred. My God grow up.

P.S. You brag that you beat a “tough” Alameda team three times. Couldn’t have been that tough…don’t even see them mentioned in the final polls.

PV Parent: Are you the one who puts the data into Maxpreps? Love to see your scorebooks… .517 league team batting average? Really? Not one batter reached base on an error? Oh they did? Then that’s not exactly a hit in the book. Gotta think one of the batters on your team might have had a ball misplayed in one of the “battles” you had vs. Richmond, El Cerrito, or Hercules. If not, congratulations on a WORLD record league team batting average.

Thought I would correct your faded memory Mcdoof.

Pinole lost to a strong D-1 team Logan by the score of 5-1. It was their only loss in the tourney.

Her only other loss was to Concord 2-1 which was avenged when PV beat Concord in the playoffs 4-3. Maxpreps has it all if you need to see it.

Yes, they did play well under pressure, and peaked late in the season defensively.

I don’t know, I saw her at the Hayward tournment and I don’t think she was that dominant. They have surprised me the whole way. Pinole must have had something besides pitching. Sounds like a team that plays together under pressure. If my memory serves me correctly they lost two games in that tourmnment, Logan and Carondelet?? One of those was like 8-2.
Hate the game not the player.

PV Parent: Congratulations to the Pinole girls on their championship victory…you are humble winners. I saw Pinole play a couple of times this year and they have a solid team. And while I’m not a Pinole Valley hater I think the championship might have been more difficult for you without your ace pitcher. You know she should have been either sitting out this year or playing for DeAnza. DeAnza coach told me the “hardship” transfer was all BS. Nothing against the girl, she’s talented and seem like a great kid.

Saw Livermore softball win today, and they were the better team, especially the defense which made several stellar plays.

Saw Pinole Valley softball win today, and they were the better team, especially in the clutch.

Saw Freedom baseball win today, and they were the better team, especially the tough starting pitcher who threw a dominating 1-hitter while surviving a head wound attempting to steal.

10 hours, 205 miles, $43 for tickets and parking, 21 innings of high caliber championship ball with quality umpires up to the challenge. And it was perfect weather to cruise in the cabriolet.

ONE HECK OF A CHAMPIONSHIP DAY!!!
