Life isn't always fair...realistically, it sometimes is, and it sometimes isn't. These things happen. If you really care about softball, keep playing and working on your skills. Try out again somewhere else, some other time. Try other things. Don't give up!

I did cross country! I liked it but it was hard! I think if I would have trained better I might have had more fun! that's why this summer I plan on training and also this spring I am going out for track! I am a really good sprinter! So all in all I like it!!

I dunno anymore, last night made me think that Caridee is putting on the "dumb blond" act, even though she is my favorite.  She did so well in the challange and then for her to mess up so bad on shoot it just doesn't make sense.  The twins are begining to annoy me, especially Michelle.  There are so many girls dying to be in her place and she is only there for her sister.  Like Tyra said, just because you have natural talent doesn't mean you want to be a model and I don't think she does.  Melrose really needs to go, she is almost as annoying as Jade from last season but at least Jade made us laugh with her psycho moments.  (The one with the cover girl shoot, where she just danced around, was hilarious) Eugene really surprised me and sshe totally stepped up her game.  Jaeda, even though last week she did OK, it was her time to go.  She needed to get over her hair situation.  I felt bad for her cause the male model was an racist prick but that should not have stopped her from doing her job.  He didn't seem disgusted or anything and plus Im pretty sure I saw him helping her with her lines.  He was a professional and she should of acted as such. As for who will be top 3, I think it will be Caridee, Amanda, and Eugene (if she keeps it up).  Melrose, I don't think she will win.  She is the obvious choice and I feel that they are making her appear that way becuase she is not the one that wins, Im hoping anyway cause I can not stand her.  She is so fake and I can't believe the judges can't see right through her.  I'm sure the producers are making it worst than it really is but I think she loves being the B of the house.  She loves the attention but hopefully it won't be for long.

I am very good, not being conceited, but I received a full scholarship to IU and was invited to try out for the 1996 Olympic softball team, but I was pregnant and could not go. I am 34 and I am still a fast pitch catcher as well as shortstop on my co-ed team. I also bat clean up and have since I was 11. Why do you ask?

I was in second grade...so hmmm, 30 years or so ago.  I feel terrible about it too.  When we were done I got up from the sand box a little too quickly, said I'd call her later and ran home.  I still haven't called her and I can't even remember her name.  I'm such a heel.

well in the beginnin of the show, out of the five i liked furonda & sarah. but sarah isn't top model material. well she is, but not NUMBER 1. as for furonda, theres something about her personality that makes me feel like shes not going to make it. Jade is a bitch & she isn't going to win even though she got talent. Its really down to joanie & danielle in my eyes. i think either furonda or jade is gonna go home.

I woke up this morning and broke a clock – don’t ask me why. Then I went to wash and clean for my mom, even though I could have slept instead. Then, out of nowhere, this girl came up to me and laughed at this job for no reason. I blushed like you wouldn’t believe. I guess I am just shy or something. Then as the day ended, I finished my term papaer. So that was my day...

i have a friend who did, he went all the way to boston which is like 2 1/2 hours from where i live and stood in line and didnt even be able to get in.  They cut him off because of too many people to audition, then i had another friend who got in but first he had to try out in front of some nobody guy who he didnt even know then another guy from behind the scenes then the manager and so on and so forth so he ended up not making it to simon and paula and randy because he wasnt good enough.

I did not go to the tourney but did root for Adam.  He's due for another win, but just has to score on the weekend.  He will come around here before too long and light it up. Anyway, I hope you had a good time.

When I bowled as a beginner and just starting out in the sport, my league was called "Beginners Luck".  Cool league where there were no sandbaggers, showoffs or wannabe fake professional bowlers.  Everyone was starting out and new.  It was a lot of fun and hope that it works out for you guys!

You certainly don't want to hear someone say this but please keep one thing in mind, not every person that tries out for a team get chosen.  Maybe there is a reason that you can't get it.  Maybe you are not cut out to be a cheerleader, maybe you should be on the team that is getting cheered on?

Well there goes the guys again thinking that we ladies can be tricked into doing something we are either not interested in or don't understand or don't want to understand...\nBut in all fairness.. If you really want her to be really interested and not pretend interest. take the time to give her the rules, background on players you think are great or suck and why, their injuries, you have to see it from our view, if all we see is grownmen smacking heads we think "OK guys have fun, catch you later".. But if we are involved with the rules and see an injustice on the field of a player we know just got hurt in a previous game, we're going to root for the underdog ... Is any of this sinking in, or does it sound like too much work to do to have your girl really care about your fun thing you already understand?

LOl that's funny cause my boyfriend has a softball team that he coaches, (grown men) they are 3 and 0 at this time. And don't look like they will be winning anytime soon. Its sad cause my b/f gets practices together for the team and 3 guys show up then game time they are all there. The pitcher lobs the balls over the Catchers plate. Its hard to tell a team of 40 year old men  (that are all your friends) to get there heads outa there *you know whats. I wish I had your answer. Alls I can say is practice practice practice! Maybe after losing so much they will realize that they need more practice. There is always next year!!! Good luck!

The stuff in the bracket was not in the original quote or source that they are writing about, but the writer of the story had to add it in to make sense to the reader.\n\nExample:\n\nThe coach said, "The [New York] team played very poorly".\n\nIf the writer just put "The team played very poorly", that would be what the coach actually said, but the reader wouldn't know what team he was talking about.

Do you want to try out? why are you not comfortable...with the trying out or being a cheerleader in general. If she wants you to try out, maybe it's cuz they think you  have what it takes, if they dont know you well, maybe it's some kind of joke?? If your not comfortable, dont do it. Only you know what's best.
