He pitched two good innings as well.

Two of my Tiny Guys laid down perfect bunts and beat them out. I've got a new 1B that stretches out for the ball like The Big Cat. I've got a Closer that shuts them down like Mariano Rivera...
The only thing better than watching the Majors is watching Little League.

Thanks for the updates!

It doesn't seem fair to the other teams since the coach is the owner of a magic hat.

I love this thread !

( You do a good job with the play by play for us, NDD. I can actually picture The Kid doing that pivot !)

Tell the kids their fans in los Estados Unidos are really proud of them. (need a smilie with clapping hands here ......................will use this )

He can pitch. He can pivot on the DP. He has a glove. He can hit. He is a 5 tool player.

Next thing we know RL's USC will recruit this kid #1.

NDD, do they play tackle football down there?

I have no idea. It changes from week to week.

Ha! No football. Just Marica-ball. They don't like physical contact.

Double header today. First the Damn Yankies, then the team that handed us our only loss - the Copetones (I think that it is some kind of bird, but I'm not real sure. They suck anyway for beating us).

My catcher/3B can't play, he's grounded for grades. That's why me and Phil Garner and Joe Torre make the big bucks...

Hey i'm just getting back onto the internet after doing a little training. (my excuse) But this thread brough a smile back on my face. Just thinking about warm weather and little league again makes all this UK bad weather fade away. Good luck and Great thread. NDD
