I live in Davenport, Iowa. (so does ChrisCTP and Kricket), Our Little League team will play for the National Championship Thursday night. We beat the West team 6-4 so we play the South team,

If we beat the South team, then we play in the Little League World Championship..

Something a bit more uplifting than watching Survivor IMHO

Go Davenport!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go, Dave! Three cheers and a tip o' the cap for recognizing true effort and sportsmanship!

In a world of dross, quality still shows.

Too cool, beagledave! I've been watching the Little League World Series on ESPN2, including last night. It's so much more enjoyable than pro ball. Good luck, those kids from Bellaire, TX are pretty good hitters. 'Course, your team is no slouch, either.

Where did you guys come up with a 6'2", 230 pound 12 year old with speed and agility? Do you live near a nuclear facility?
