LLWS: Maine v. Rhode Island

[Sox fan in Tex]

Let's hope Theo is already out there scouting these guys. The game is 2-1 in the second... so who am I rooting for? It is more likely that I attend college in Maine, but you can't root against Rhode Island.

??? NO MASS? Oh well.

I'm rooting for Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanston. The part I like is seeing who they're favorite players are. Occasionally you'll have some kid who's like my favorite player is Kevin Millar, while everyone else says Manny, Ortiz, etc.

3-1, Maine in the third. I wonder how many of these kids are on steroids & if the steroid penalty is as harsh.

4-1 maine

In honor of Maine having a 7-1 lead, here's an interesting fact:

 

"Maine was at one time part of Massachusetts. It became its own state in 1820, becoming the 23rd state admitted to the United States of America, although its northern borders were not finalized until 1842."

I like how this is turning into a mini-game thread.

You've got to have love for the Red Sox of tomorrow, yeszir. I mean, when we're in our 30's these guys are going to be dominating in Boston. Nothing like watching some good young New England talent on ESPN.

7-2, now. What Eric Rollet from Rhode Island's favorite player is Miguel Tejada?!?! I hope he strikes out.

[YanksHater213]

Yeah, one of them said Jeter too...

Oh you mean they already are- at 12???? Or are you just that young?

 

 

I was rooting for Maine all the way since I live just a few miles from Westbrook. There was one kid from that team who was 5'9" and weighed in at 210 lbs! He could have beat me up and I am almost 3 times his age. That pitcher was awesome- hitting in the 60's and pitched a CG 3 hitter (IIRC). If this is the future of the Red Sox then we are in for a few more World Series titles in the upcoming decades.
