During the game, a player from the Chicago team hit a HR and felt bad because he celebrated too much.  He went to this same coach/dugout to apologize and the coach told him fuggedaboutit....he'd be excited too.

 

Loving the LLWS.  Mo'ne pitches Wednesday night.

My son recently made the world series for one of the teams out of Raleigh (PONY league) and we got to go (California).  It was awesome.  Nothing like LLWS though  because PONY isn't on ESPN and having Easton provide all new equipment and get new digs.  I absolutely love youth baseball.  That LLWS Northeast/Southeast game the other night was incredible. 

 

Some good/great baseball players in North Carolina...especially around Raleigh.  Just no Little League.  Mostly just Ripken or Pony.

Yep. Saw this as well.

He was also fg's coach that gave a great motivational speech to his team before their 6th inning comeback against Tenn.

We was jumping aroubd do happy for his kids. The interview afterwards with him was fantastic. Guy really understood what the LLWS is all about and us a great role model for those kids.

Nice! When I played, we made it to the palomino world series out in California. How did your son's team do? We got to rocked out there. Japan, Puerto Rico and Mexico's teams were no joke. If I remember correctly, we only beat Mexico. The experience/journey to make it out there was worth it though.

Go whipped up pretty good.  Host team sets the bracket and put our boys playing at 8pm...which was 11pm our guys internal clock.  Game started at 8:30...so 11:30-1:30 is what our boys played.  Boys were killing the ball in our Zone championship and just got out there and no one could hit.  Defense shaky.  Ended up losing to the host team and then Hawaii...although that game was a bit closer.  Kinda wish it was pool play and then bracket, but that's how it goes.  We were in the hotel with a couple of other US teams and the Mexico team.  Awesome seeing all the kids playing around the pool at the hotel. 

 

Definately an experience that those kids will never forget.  Now we just need to get back there next time.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
