    the south is better because we have larger area/more leagues/more kids to begin with.

    in the north, if you get a snowstorm and there is no mid-winter warm-up (like a week in january that hits the 50s) that snow will be on the ground until the spring. once its down, its usually not going anywhere for a while, so there is no way to play ball in january like there is in the south where its still in the 50s and 60s.

    as posted above, fall ball is usually sept-oct. its basically like the high school football season. its usually over before the snow starts, but some years you get a freak early snow storm and ya, the last 2 weeks are just cancelled. then you're not playing ball again for 6 months until the spring. and fall ball itself isn't really going to make that big of a difference. its like an extra 12 games, like 3 months after regular LL ended.

    Odds that the California catcher is using a new glove that's hardly broken in?

    what makes you think Little League Baseball would extend the season for other parts? it's the exact same down here.

    as far as off season goes, i can't tell you how many days i spent practicing in a basketball gym...

    eh, whatever. back on topic...

    only Texas and Japan are undefeated.

    Texas is 16-0

    Japan is 9-0

    apparently it's much easier to get to Williamsport in the World division.

    I think Taipei and Japan are the 2 best teams in this tournament by quite a bit.

    no doubt.

    this is the most important game of the whole tournament... except for the rematch in a few days.

    the two best offensive teams are being held to a one hitter.

    That game was awesome. How about that left fielder coming in to cover 3rd?! It always blows my mind how fundamentally sound these kids are.

    Um yeah, you really don't understand what winter is like up in the northern part of the country. "Snow" in Texas is like a freak inch or two one day and it's gone by dinner time or the next day. Snow in the midwest falls in October/November measured in feet and it doesn't leave until April or May. High schools and colleges will start practicing indoors in March, but little leagues really don't get started until the snow is gone.

    Only thing that could have made it better was if it was for the international championship, but I would bet that game will happen anyway between those 2 teams.

    unless Chinese Taipei just shits the bed, this has got to happen.

    but it will be hard to hold up to that last game. especially since they'll have limited pitching.

    The LLWS home run count this year is making me suspicious about the legitimacy of the BBCOR standard...

    in other news, Uganda put on their uni's and had a pickup game early this morning on the practice field. love them kids.

    kid from Japan has 61 HR's on the season in 50 games... dafuq?

    some kids are lucky to get 61 AB's.

    edit: well, he's 6' and 206 pounds... so i guess that explains it.

    i believe they even moved the fences back 20 feet this year, and the homer totals are still sky high.


    and what was it i heard about like next year or the year after that the mound will be 50 ft and the bases 70?
