A great game between Walpole, Ma and Hamilton, OH just ended with the MA centerfielder robbing what would have been a walk-off home run. Hopefully this will be a good series.

Go Mass.

Yo, respect! I have great memories of watching the LLWS years ago on ESPN, sadly though nowadays any of the Canadian broadcasting stations rarely show any of it.

Brag: I also call home sweet home to the same place that the Canadian representative for the LLWS is: White Rock/South Surrey! These kids are frickin' slammin', by the way. Outscored their opponents in the Canadian nationals 88-8, going 7-0 enroute. First game is against Saudi Arabia... I really hope they become the first Canadian team to take down the LLWS!

The best part is when the kids cry.

I just watched a little bit. Better than MLB for me. I think it's because the players are playing without millions of dollars. And the hot sisters and moms in the crowd.

[wiper]

was anyone watching that entire game w/the catch in centerfield??

to catch it is one thing, the situation made it one of the best catches i've ever seen, on any level...

down 1, 1 guy on, 2 outs, in the bottom of the last inning?? and the ball was clearly going out..

on top of that, the team in the field's pitcher was dealing the whole game, and had to come out for that last batter because he hit 85 pitches...new guy comes in, and gives up the long fly ball, backbackbackback...CAUGHT!

i literally jumped out of my chair..

You're from Canada AND a Yankees fan? That should win you a bad beat jackpot or something.

I was watching this morning, the Canada/Saudi one and then the Mexico/Netherlands one. I am surprised at how bad some of these kids are in the field. Just tons of errors, dropped balls, etc. I mean "they're kids", I get it, but it seems like with all the recruiting going on these days the fielding would be a little better than this. It isn't T-ball. Maybe I just caught them during a bad stretch, but there were seven errors in the Canada game and the two in the first for the Netherlands.
