It’s time to quit sugar coating. I suggest we strike the phrase “High Maintenance” or the shortened suburb version, “HM” from our baseball vocabulary and get back to reality. Some parents are obnoxious, some are brown nosers, some are controlling, some parents are meddlers, and some are just ********s. Let’s not adjust reality with some new found politically correct name tag. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck!

I agree, it is a duck and yes, there are ducks out there contrary to what some politically correct types think. There I go, speaking in metaphores again

Many times, the parents of the talented players are humble and decent folk. Other times, the player's talent goes to the parent's head and they just never get over it or themselves.

I have no idea what "Politically Correct" means

On our team there is only one way--OUR WAY-- we drive the bus you ride on--if you don't like it get off the bus

Case Closed

While I don't usually agree with TR this time I

As I said before High Maintenence means trouble down the road. Fungo you stole my thunder. Politically correct means you are afraid to tell the truth.

Doesn't anyone care about hurting somebodys feelings

ALL I can say is...QUACK!

Only one problem with your suggetion Fungo.

At least the HM term is allowed on our g-rated site.

If we called them some of the more colorful, (and appropriate) terms we would get something like this )@#$)@*_(#$@+(+$(.
