I might be the only one here that follows Little League World Series but I highly recommend it.
Baseball as it ought to be.

Chinese Taipei seems to have sent another juggernaut to the tournament, blasting Canada 8-0 before putting a beatdown on Australia, 11-0.

Apparently Italian Americans are commonplace on Staten Island.
Why wasn't I informed of this?

Staten Island still in it.
They beat Illinois 4-0 and will play the winner of Monday's elimination game.

Is it true that when the Yanx toured the main Little League field several were overheard saying, 'Damn that RF fence looks far away'?

Don't see where it was posted here, but just in case, next year's LLWS major league game will be between the Mets and Mariners.

Well if it's anything like last night's telecast then be prepared for large portions of the game to be ignored by the network broadcasting it.
Even by SNB standards the shrunken screens, in-game interviews, and just basically paying attention to everything except what was
happening on the field was over the top.

Lol the other day when I saw the Tigers sliding down that hill I thought to myself ‘if any of the Mets did that they’d break a leg and have season ending surgery’. I guess we’ll find out next year.

Btw that hill is hard as heck to sit on.

A barn burner between Southeast (Lake Mary, Florida) and Southwest (Boerne, Texas) in the U.S. Final.

Lake Mary takes on Chinese Taipei today for the whole enchilada.
