I am the coach of the local single A little league (10 & 11 year olds) baseball team. We have had a good year so far, posting a record of 6-3 (while defeating every other team in our league). That being said, I feel that our record is better than our team's performance, given some lucky bounces and clutch hitting.
So here is the current situation: We have one more game remaining in the regular season. If we win, we automatically have to move up to the AA baseball tournament. In it, I would suspect we would lose every game by a healthy margin. Although the competition could be good for a few of the kids on my team, most of them could end up frustrated and sour at the thought of signing up to play ball next year.
If we were to lose our final regular season game, the odds would be greater that we would stay in the A tournament, and face much closer competition and would be able to win a couple of games in the tournament. I am by no means willing to say that we would blow away the competition, as I it would be extremely difficult to win this tournament, but the kids would have more fun I suspect. It is possible that even if we lose, we could potentially still go to the AA tournament depending on what another team does in their final game.
I have all of my players available for the final game of the season (including my two pitching aces). Do you tell your team to throw the game? Why or why not?

School bus back from the 1960s
North Shore Times | Thursday, 12 June 2008

Jane Warren is still using the same bus that took her to school in the 1960s.

But these days it’s being used as a motorhome by Ms Warren and partner Steve Greaves.

The couple, who live on the Coromandel, have revamped the Bedford bus that was owned by the North Shore Transport Company until 1985.

It took Ms Warren from Devonport to Takapuna Grammar in the late 1960s and early 70s.

Mr Greaves’ cousin bought the bus from Murphy Buses in the late 1990s.

He changed the petrol engine to diesel, stripped the interior and fitted it with wood panels from the Toyota car factory.

It was then reluctantly sold to Mr Greaves.

The ownership papers revealed it was Ms Warren’s old school bus.

Mr Greaves says it had been totally restored inside but the exterior was a bit neglected and still had the original blue paint from its time in Devonport.

The earlier red and grey was visible underneath the peeling paint.

A panelbeater and car painter, Mr Greaves has spent the past year sanding back the old paint, masking, and painting the bus.

It now has a charcoal grey base, red up to the windows, silver on the upper sides and a grey roof – and power steering.

Ms Warren and Mr Greaves named the bus Tragically Hip after a Canadian rock group. Mr Greaves lived in Canada for 18 years.

I got 4 rush tickets for sale. I paid $460 with service charges and ass fucking by ticketmaster.
I will let them go for $400 if you pick them up from me. I really can now use the money instead of the entertainment.
