OK, OK... I need my fix! Enough practice already, let's Play Ball! Is it just me or are the weeks between the first practice and the first game the three longest of the year? Our first game is Monday and I can't wait. Cubs vs Yankees. Travel team teammates facing off against one another in what will be a fun pitchers duel! This is what it's all about!
7:30 won't get here soon enough!

What is everybody so busy with practice and games that there is nothing to write about??
We have been rained out twice already and looks like tomorrow will be too. When are we ever going to get to play?

I am sure with the earlier and earlier starts to the Little League season we will start to see more rainouts. Pretty soon league will be starting in February. Lets pray for some nice weather for the National side to have Saturday for opening day...good luck to all the players and coach's who make it all happen by donating their time. We parents do thank you very much.
On a more sour note I cannot help from adding what a sad day it was for USA baseball by getting thumped out of Bud's made for television baseball tournament. Sad but true but at least I had some games to watch.

Definitely sad that we got knocked out by the team South of the Border. So much for "America's" past time. Of course Mexico is part of the Americas.
Yeppers, its Opening Day for the Nat kids tomorrow & its suppose to be sunny. I feel for the American kids & all the rain-outs. LL spends so much time worrying about the "tourney" they forget the millions of kids that will never make it to Williamsport. They need to come up with a better system.
Good luck to everyone & I can't wait to see that Grayson kid play this year. He should be fun to watch.

Shouldn't practice start mid-March, games about April Fools Day with the season ending the last part of June? That would make for a whole lot better baseball weather... And kids would have something to do the first part of summer. With the earlier start dates schools are going to (Denair starts Aug. 14 next year) many players will have to miss 2 - 3 weeks of the school year if they advance very far in the tourney.
I always thought high school and Lil guys football and baseball seasons should flip flop... with FB starting in Feb, when it's cooler and end in late May and baseball season should start when football traditionally has and end late October. Would be better for weather for both sports... Thank goodness for travel ball when you can play whenver darn well feel like it!
