    The optimism here isn’t shared nationally.

    Lots of bats, but an unproven pitching staff. Ranking seems about right to me.

    Just win, the rankings will sort themselves out.

    That ranking is a joke but I think it is a good thing. It will give these girls some added bulletin board material to prove the softball world wrong.....and they will.

    What I remember about this, other than a great catch by Katie at OKC, was when it was first posted on twitter. There were several replies by men fearful of competent women and likely carrying an insufficient and rarely used part of the anatomy who posited that the play was nothing special, women are not capable of making special plays....one clown even ranted over and over that she never even jumped to make the play. The pic proves otherwise. Don't think it isn't so....there is a ton of bias out there, still, by some over women in sports.

    The part you remember seems like the most forgettable part to me.
    It was a great catch!

    Did anyone check the date on that ranking? Maybe it was for last year.

    My wife doesn't think I'm funny either.

    Seriously, the ranking shocks me. I was all set to book tickets to OKC.

    A preseason ranking affects that decision?

    Well, at least whether to pay extra to make the ticket refundable! :)

    I was thinking that this year was a sure thing. Granted it's just Softball America's opinion, but I'm shocked that a reputable group would rank us so low.
