| Who really gives a crap? Every team in the league has had a player or two that didnt meet the 27 age mark set. FOY baseball is fun but it isnt everything. If a player has played all year and you just now complain because it knocks you out then you need to get a life. If you have a player thats played all year then a team should be able to put their best line-up out on the field.
So everyone knows, I think the 8 game minium is crap if the player played the year before and is obvously not some random pick up to help a team in the play-offs.

| Wow. Stalk much? I might suggest he change his credit cards after your multiple internet quieries. You just added to your wierdness. Once again, get a life. No one is arguing he is under the age limit idiot.
The argument is that he has played all year and no one has said anything. There are multiple teams that have had players under age. I wish everyone that knew of someone that fits into this category either presently or in the past, would list them. Does it make it right? No. But,everyone knows its not uncommon.
My arguement is that if he has played all year, let him play. Just like if someone missed the 8 game minimum ( which is crap if he played the year before ) I say let all players who fit the above play and have a good time.

| I guess it's time for a Red Sox player to chime in. First it was one heck of a series. Obviously easy for me to say. Personally it was on of my finest playoff performances ever in the FOY but needles to say it is tainted which stinks. In my jubilation of making the finals, after the game is when I first learned of this situation. I am being honest about that. The competative side of me wishes Curley's would of said something if they new like the Cards did last year or the year before agianst the A's if my memory is correct about using an ineligible player. My competative side wants to go on to the finals but my heart... you can pretty much figure out what it is telling me. Be that as it may, if we play in the upcoming finals or if Saturday ends up being our last game, I will not be back next year. It was a good ride. I had a great time in the FOY these 7 years. I thank Arch for giving me an oppurtunity and though I won't go down in the FOY Hall of Fame, I would like to think I left a positive mark in this league for the time I spent in it. That's all I have to say regarding that.
But back to my competative side of things. Of course this post would not be complete without me getting into it with my rival Big Sug of Johnny's. If we play this week, get ready to get knocked out of the playoffs. A long time has just come to end. Yeah I said it :-)
Good luck either way my friend

| I'll tell you what...I'm the one that brought Parker out. He's one of my best friends and I really just wanted to be able to play ball with him along with a few other buddies. This isn't Archie's doing so don't blame him...blame me. I've heard for YEARS of several teams doing this kind of thing so I really didn't see the problem with it. It's not like he's Verlander on the mound or Pujols in the box...but I also understand that rules are rules.
I really have the utmost respect for Curley's playing us with the team we have had all season. Those last two games could very well be the most fun that I have ever had on a ball diamond...win or lose. We may not be the best team in the league and I really don't care because this summer was a fucking blast. Parker is a solid ball player but I know everyone on our team feels the same when I say his main contribution came from the extra character he brings to the dugout. So in saying that...I really don't need a championship to feel that this season was a success. As far as I'm concerned...we just played it. I know the both of us have met a lot of awesome people this season from a lot of different teams and that's all that I really care about. Playing ball is about being a kid again and enjoying something that most of us have been doing since the age of 6 along with being able to escape from our personal lives. For those few hours bills, work, and whatever else take back seat to the 10-15 guys that I share a uniform with and you guys that sit in the opposing dugout. I have never called a pitch to see a batter get drilled and most of you can agree that I have always checked to see if you are okay when hit. I have also always picked the bat up for hitters and told them to stand up when there isn't a play at the plate because I care more about everyone's safety and I respect the game too damn much. So if you want to call me and my buddy out for being cheaters...so be it. I'm just hear to have fun...that's it!
I'm not trying to start shit with anyone by posting this message nor do I think I said anything offensive/personal towards anyone. I just want to take responsibility for my actions instead of making our entire team look like a bunch of scandalous cheaters. There's a lot of class in our dugout regardless of what some of you think.

| If it was NOT the Red Sox intent to cheat, WHY was Parker's first name altered to 'MARK' on the playoff eligibility list??? I don't think anyone minds a few months or even a year, but nearly 5 years is a little much. There is a league for 22 year olds, it's called the 18+ MSBL. Please don't insult everyone's intelligence by stating Archie didn't know or think to ask. C'mon, that's the first question we all ask when 'recruiting' or 'inquiring' about potential players. I just don't believe the team mgr/commish that used illegal players ALL YEAR should be the sole dictator for allowing who IS & IS NOT playoff eligible. Plus, Parker wasn't the only UNDER AGE player the Sox used this year either. I believe the A's were screwed in the playoffs, & the word around the campfire is Archie disallowed a handful of Cardinals players from playing game 1, who were later PROVEN to have 8 games.

| Now it is my turn to respond. There have been two different topics referenced in this thread that I will address. It is up to the reader to believe what they will.
It is true that Murphy brought Parker on the team. It is true I did not ask his age , my first mistake. The subject first came up after game 1 vs A's. He did not play in game 2. After A's series Murphy talked to Curleys about using Parker. They seemed indifferent about the situation, so we played him, my second mistake. There is a protest procedure which neither team formally exercised, which I will address later. I accept full responsibility for my teams actions, for which appologize. Parker will not play in the finals. Had either team formally protested, it would have beenn upheld.
The other illegal player alluded to was Brandon Smith. Denando pointed out he was under age after a game in June. He was never used again.
As for the playoff roster no first names were used, only first initial if teams had players with same last name. Mister ineuendo you obviously saw one.
The league trophy is littered with team names that used illegal players starting with one for which it is named. Sam 'the legend' Murabito was 21 when the league was a 30 and up league. The winningest pitcher in league history Kenny Grasle was under age when Whistle Stop won in the late 80's. Jeff Pfeiffer was a game breaking shortstop in the Legion championship years. The Cardinal champions of the early 90's had a trio, Mark Stanberry, Chris Cobb, and fireballer Jim Jarvis. And how about the A's Steve 'the big chief' Kraus was part of '05 championship.
There have also been lesser teams with under age players but nobody cares until you beat them. That is the unwritten rule of the FOY.
The silence has been broken, now let the feeding frenzy begin.

| I apologize for all the stir that I have created...I really do. Maybe I should have entered my Blue Sox team into the MSBL or Monclair but I loved the idea of not driving to Waterloo or St. Charles to play. I came out to watch a couple games last season in the FOY and thought the league really seemed to be pretty cool. That was my error in judgment, and I guess pretty selfish, because along the way I threw the rest of my team under the bus. Just recently, most of our team along with league have come to find out his real age. For that I apologize to everyone but I will not apologize for the fact that I wanted to play with a good buddy because over the past few months I've met a lot of new friends that I would drink a beer with any day...from my team and many others.

| Bryan Parker is his name, however, Archie chose to "accidentally" list his name as "M. Parker" on the playoff eligibility list. Either he's just plain stupid or knowingly cheated one or the other! No one would care if a team used a 25 or 26 year old in the REGULAR SEASON to field 9 players & avoid a forfeit, but Parker is 22! Again, NO excuse when the commish knew while screwing another team from using LEGAL PLAYERS that had their 8 games.
I know SEVERAL long term players leaving the FOY because of this BS & rumors of 2 teams hanging the towel as well. Good luck Sox beating the three new Baptist Church teams in 2012 with your college roster!

| I get it. The Sox got busted. First time for everything in the history of the FOY. I am guilty by association and Ray Lewis is innocent. Forgive me Curley's but once it was known, yall should of said something. The protest procedure was in place and you didn't use it. I think it was your competitive side saying we can beat them no matter who they have out there, so we don't give a $hit, they can't beat us, we just want to play and after game one it looked like it would be a non issue. Hmm but wait.... would it of been a non issue had the Sox lost the series? Come on now, we all know better than that. All the Red Sox / commish haters would of still been spewing the hate but it would of been "you guys used so and so and still lost." "You can't even cheat and win." "Off with their heads!" Where was all of this with the Cards and A's a few years ago. Where was the ethics this, integrity that, and personal attacks. Nowhere. What this is all about is because of some long standing feud or perceived slight from back in the day that just won't go way and people can't get over so any chance they get to spew their hate they will. Arch doesn't need me to defend him he's been ok on his own, but any one of you nameless freaks out there has anything more to say about my team or teamates, please come and say it face to face. I'll be at Cahokia tomorrow night 7:00. Number 15. Can't miss me. You wanted us to be the bad guys, I'll be the bad guy.

| Papi - the A's were screwed over & had NO OPPORTUNITY to protest. It wasn't known that Archie & the Red Sux BLATANTLY CHEATED until after the 'protest period' expired. Big Shock, Arch did NOT bring his 'ringer' out for Game 2 to avoid a protest because HE KNEW the A's KNEW! In fact, an A's player inquired about the mysterious 22 year old but of course Archie just ignored the text & never replied. Meanwhile, Archie f'd over the Cardinals by RULING 4 of their players were ineligible & REFUSED to review the issue. AFTER losing game 1, he agreed to do a recount & admitted his mistake. Too little too late - pretty funny that everyone else is guilty til proven innocent while the commish is stealing games. Not to mention his other 'ringer' who played throughout the year. Guess he & the Sux didn't feel it necessary to inform the league or forfeit their bogus wins.
So the A's, Cards & Curleys were all robbed by the cheating Red Sux...inexcusable! Unfortunately, the FOY has been ruined.

| Ok Robbery, again same A's team that two years ago was in similar situation. From what I've heard before one of the games, Cardinals say flat out to the A's, if so and so plays we protest. So what do the A's do. They play the guy knowing what's going to happen. And yes the "ringer" did not play game two. He didn't in play game one either as I, I mean, He was in Arizona on a golf trip and Mizzou football game. Luckily he got back in time for game 2 and 3 in second round. :-)
I could be wrong, most likely am, but sounds to me the Bulls initially agreed with the decision regarding the 4 Cards players. They must of had some input. Maybe, maybe not I don't know.
Robbery, I know things didn't work as you hoped they would. The system is not perfect but it did it's job. The BCS has put the two best teams, #1 and #2 into the finals. Isn't that what we wanted. Long live the BCS!

| For the record, Stanberry and Cobb were of age. Jarvis technically met the requirements. If I remember correctly that was one of the years where it was talked about that you had to have turned 27 to play, but the by-laws were never changed. Jarvis was 27 in the calender year and Dale played him as the rules were written. And he wasn't even a lawyer/manager like Tony LaGenius.

| Parker did play Game 1 vs A's, had a couple/few hits & RBI's...the final score was 6-3 I believe so he did make a difference. The point is we will never know & the A's did not protest because his age wasn't verified until after the 24 hr policy. When his age was questioned, the commish chose to ignore the text.
Not mad @ you Papi, Archie is the one who knowingly made the decision to cheat. The COMMISH should lead by example, but instead he essentially screwed 3 teams out of the playoffs. The fact that B. Parker was listed as M. Parker on the playoff eligibility list is downright wrong!
Furthermore, I believe his accusations regarding others have all been shot down.

I really believe he was the only reason that the A's scored any runs that game. Please get your facts straight before you go around claiming them as fact. I have read a couple things now that I know aren't true. I just wonder how false the other accusations are as well.
Also, I don't think it's too much to ask, for all of you, to put a name down while your spreading your legs and bleeding all over the forum. And you guys call Parker the child.

I pretty sure the did and the Johnnys did not say a word reason being they A's still could not get past the 5th inning. The only reason why teams are whining is because they are on the fence watching instead of playing. The Johnnys dont care if they use the kid, he would not even start in their lineup. Quit whining because you lost and big papi dont try to be somebody you are not. Big teddy bear!

| So everyone knows: via email the cardinals sought out at least 3 pitchers, that I know of, in the MSBL to throw for them via email prior to the start of this year. Most likely more than the 3 I know. Apparently the pitchers would have earned some money (2-300 dollars) if they played enough to be eligible for playoffs. They still couldnt get them to play.
Thats a pretty sad concept that no one wants to even be paid to play w/ you guys. Tuck your tails between your legs and keep taking ass whippings in the FOY. Its not a coinicidence that you guys complain the most on the field as well as the forum. If you guys were actually as good at the game as you are complaining, you would be very hard to beat.

| @Crying Cards.
Here's where MY money goes to manage the Cardinals.
1. Beer. (I like to drink with my friends so I bring beer to share)
2. Baseballs. (We lost a lot of fouls this year)
3. Uniforms. (I try to respect the league rules about uni's)
4. Umpires. (We all throw in $5 a game for umps)
If you actually believe that a guy who drives a damn '98 Subaru with 290k miles has hundreds of extra dollars to pay amateur baseball players, you're living in a dream world. Every once in a while I hear a story about myself that actually impresses me. This is one of them. I wish I would have concocted such a plan.

| This is about the Red Sox pushing the limits of the rules and the teams they played against not protesting their actions. If the A's and Curley's didn't file a protest, it's over with. Done deal.
All of this eligibility BS has sucked the fun out of playing in the FOY for me, so I'm just hoping I get the itch to play again by next spring.

| The simple fact that a protest is needed against the commissioner that makes and then enforces the rules is pure bullshit.

| I didnt say it was you who offered to pay them. You guys know who it was. Dont be so impressed w/ yourself, it makes you sound like more of a douche than you already are.
That itch your talking about is from one of the stripclubs in centreville.

| The Bulls DO offer money for people to play for us. Is that frowned upon or something?
Any shortstops out there? We've been looking to replace Marcus (the australian) for like 6 years now.

| Nice attempt to try & change the subject from the true 2011 issue the SUX cheated, & more importantly, the COMMISH!
Telling a FOY player who ONLY PITCHES not to worry about league fees, jersey or hat is hardly paying them a salary...D-Bag
14-4?! Justice will be served
Still waiting for a reply Arch? Or are you going to bring up more events during the Carter administration!?

| Paying a guy to play? Wow. Guys used to tell us they would pay us to play on our team. But that was late at night at the bar and we usually never saw them again. Oh well. Private eye man must keep a detailed journal, or else he harbors deep resentment (jealousy) of Dupo Cardinal Nation. Going all the way back to Mantz, Kessler, and Haase. That is early mid 80's man. Geez. And just because Joe can call balls and strikes from center field (or later right field) doesn't make him a bad guy. Go out and have some fun, drink some beer, and always, always bitch about something. That's FOY baseball.

| I am more disappointed than pissed at Archie. I wanted to believe Archie did what was good for our league as he saw a need to change things many years ago when we were at a low point in terms of umpires, field conditions, and RULES. He provided the time and leadership to better our league and anybody that's been in the league for an extended period of time knows that. But gee whiz Archie, to knowingly cheat and the excuse that it was done previous years is just no excuse, especially from our commissioner. Please explain why you had to do this? My guess is you just wanted to win so bad and saw this player as the silver bullet that would help get your team to the top. I few years back I asked all the teams at the team meeting if my son could play. He was about 24 at the time and all of the teams said it was OK and I did ask everybody. He wasn't an impact player or a pitcher, I just wanted the opportunity to play with him before I basically gave up playing to help Danny coach and manage. Then you (Archie) came and told me one of the teams complained about him, so he never played again kind of like the guy on your team that wanted to play with his good friend (understandable). Protest Rule - My quick thought on that is, I would not have suspected that we would have to protest a player on Archie's team since he was the commissioner. I learned on this forum that this is not the case, such a disappointment Archie. Also disappointing is some of your players I've know a long time not telling you that you should set an example and now play this guy. To me that's like not only you cheating, but all the players that knew he was only 22,were cheating too. If you end up winning, how can your players hold their heads up. I don't pay as much attention to individual players like some guys do so I don't even know what this guy looks like, his number or anything like that, so not sure if he helped you win 5 games, 10 games etc. But the standings may have been affected by his play and perhaps your seed would have been different which could have resulted in a totally different seeding. I'm sure Johnnies wants to win the title on the field. I like rooting for the underdog and I would have been rooting for the REd Sox since Johnnies is a very good team, but not this year. Like I said, DISAPPOINTING!

| I just starting reading this cause my dad told me all this was going on. I came down to play with the A's and had a great time. For the guy saying I was to young to play when we played the Johnnies that is a lie. I turned 27 on September 5th and if you want me to give you a copy of my drivers lic. give me your address.. And for saying I wouldn't be in the Johnnies starting lineup, that's funny cause johnny moo asked my dad why he called posey instead of him for me to play. Get you facts straight bud.

| I don't have any grandiose vision of being professionally scouted in the FOY. And unless I overlooked a clause in my *contract*, I'm not getting a large post season check for winning the FOY.
I'm just thankful to be playing at a place where I don't have to drive all over. I thought he looked too young in game 1 and I didn't say anything. So I'm not gonna complain, and I'm done with it.
Thanks to all who made this year possible, and I hope to be playing next season.

| @ D-Bags Sept 22 6:59:41 pm entry # 3804625 post, in particular the 14-4?! Justice will be served comment.
Yes the Sox got "served" in game one but then "it was on." Sox win 5-4 then 13-0. Yup 13-0. So like the geico commercial goes. And that is the weekend (or series for that matter), yeah dog! Time to crack open the bubbly. Don't mind if I do. Is the getlemen with the brostache invited to this party? Only if he's ready to rock. (cue the music)

| Funny Pappy,
You said that you were done a few messages back with the Red Sox or FOY? Funny how winning, even if unethical, has changed your mind.
I think that new leadership is needed if the league is to remain. Rather than a commissioner, a GROUP of board members.

Father: Yes son.
Son: Why hath thou foresaken me?

Son: How long must I hang here in agony?
Father: Until you have sufficiently bled-out.
Son: What about the other two?
Father: I forgive the liar and thief, the murderer I do not.

Father: Yes son.
Son: Why hath mother left thou?
Father: Because I dwell on issues for three weeks.
Son: Why is that Father?
Father: Because your mother knows that Heath Ledger had more talent taking it up the ass on that mountain than I do on a baseball field and I need to be acknowledged in some fashion.
Son: What do you mean Father?
Father: Let me explain son. See, in life, when you attempt something and fail the obvious thing to do is find an excuse how I was cheated. Then, and son this is important, you must have the argumentative estrogen of a woman and strong-willed. If you're capable of possessing those skills, you will go far in life.

| @ objective observer - Yes I did say that but my intentions for leaving had nothing to do with the current scandal though it appeared it might have been. There were many variables that came into play going back to last year. Main variable being life like everyone else. Another was a numbers game. Would we have enough guys to make it happen? We picked up some new guys this past year, some of age some later found out not to be. Others just couldn't cut it and decided it just wasn't for them. People work, have opportunities in life in other places and have to leave or they are just tired. It happens. But upon hearing that some guys who did not play this year look to be returning next year changed my mind and I would be willing to give it another go because I like this group we have.
Another variable is the Church and some of the things that said were going to be done were not. Allowing the surrounding areas to get out of control where foul balls and home run balls were lost because it was a jungle out there was not good. It's minor but that is also a concern. But I am willing to give em the benefit of the doubt going forward to make good on those.
So there are many factors just like everyone else that goes into playing or not playing. Next season will be a new year so I'll treat it as such.
