Little League World Series
Monday Afternoon
Little League World Series
Mexico vs. Saipan
Davenport, Iowa vs Thousand Oaks. CA
Williamsport, PA
With Jamie and Marc
It was great to finally get to Williamsport for some Little League Action, but we were too damn tired to fully enjoy the experience. The hot sun, the crabby security folks who wouldn’t let us sit in the empty shaded seats that were roped off, and the silliness of ESPN’s staged shots everywhere you turned didn’t help. I guess it never occurred to me that the spot right behind the fence is roped off for the sole purpose of letting ESPN put people there so they can get the shots they want. I wonder if that spot was roped off back before the games were televised. My guess- no.
Mexico looked great in the few innings we saw. Thousand Oaks looked even more impressive in the one inning we saw of their dismantling of the punks from Davenport. For some reason, Jamie despises the Davenport team. We were so damn tired that we didn’t fully enjoy the experience, but it was nice to finally get there for some games.
After about two hours in Williamsport, we headed home to reality.
that punk pitcher from Davenport was a punk and a loser. and by loser i mean "will never win anything in his life" his attitude was terrible and you could tell he had to mental makeup of a quitter. total prima donna who would let his teammates mistakes get him out of sync rather than more determined to do well. he just bothered the shit out of me both on TV and in person. if he was my kid i'd sit him down on the bench for a month.
