I have nice little sports bar I frequent. I have a favorite, over stuffed chair I usually use. I have 4 flat screen TVs I can clearly watch. All of them have different sporting events I can watch. If I turn my head just a bit more, I can watch a 5th TV if need be. 

The last few evenings there has been preseason nfl, mlb, nba reruns, pga stuff, and the Little League World Series. I find myself watching the LLWS mote than the others by a wide margin. 

Just watching those youngsters play for the pure fun, and love of the game is my sports drug of the moment. They play hard. They are friendly to a certain extent to the other teams. They make a few mistakes, but they also make some spectacular plays too. Happy winners, with heart broken losers. Smiles and tears. Just  good play, and viewing of one of America's best sports.

I hope others on TST are taking in few of these games.

Son is just really getting into baseball this year and is in little league, and the west team is from the town right next door to us so we'll definitely be watching.

We watched their last two games this week and, in fact, were it not for previously made plans for last night we were probably going to go watch the regional championship game live.  (SB Ian an hour away). Although the place looked packed so we may not have got in.  There were 10k people there!

Go Santa Margarita!!!

We never miss the LLWS. It's the purest form of sports, in my opinion.

Before relocating in 2010, they used to hold the Little League Southern Regionals in the complex behind my old house in Gulport, FL. It's the same field my brothers and I played on when we were that age.

I coached pitchers, from Little League to High School, for a period of ten years.  During that time I developed a "par" concept.  Par is five pitches per out.  If a pitcher gets above five pitches per out...that pitcher is throwing too many pitches.  This holds true from Little League to Major League Baseball.  An error, that would otherwise have resulted in an out, adds one...i.e. 20 pitches and 4 outs is par.  Do yourself a favor and keep track of this.  It matters not what level of baseball you are watching.  Inning to inning is not definitive; but a pitcher who is consistently "over par" is coming out sooner rather than later.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
