It is a great trip.<BR/><BR/>For the record, it's not like I knew all of this stuff before. All of it was taken from the official LLWS website and one article that came up easily on google.<BR/><BR/>I have an arrangement with the 3 other guys that go every year. I take care of the scouting (although they also watch the games on TV before we go), another guy takes care of the food (helped by the fact that his dad ownes a meat company), another guy drives and takes care of the gas, and the last guy arranges the hotels and some other stuff.<BR/><BR/>Tell me I don't have the best job.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-32479890394113991452007-08-09T18:29:00.000-04:002007-08-09T18:29:00.000-04:00Mariners alone in lead for the wild card!!

I also forgot to mention that parking is free and that it is better to sit outside the stadium than in. Me and my friends bring those folding canvas chair and sit on top of the first hill. That's about 250ft. from home plate in dead center. The best part is that the vendors come around selling things like soda and dippin dots ice cream eventhough you aren't even in the stadium. It is awesome.<BR/><BR/>Here's my scouting report for tonight...<BR/><BR/><B>Notes for tonight's game between Warner Robins, Georgia and Mobile, Alabama in the Southeast Regional Championship for a spot in the Little League World Series:</B><BR/><BR/>Warner Robins, GA (4-0):<BR/>#22 Kendall Scott (Catcher/Pitcher) 5/9 2HR 9RBI 2b<BR/>#2 Dalton Carriker (Shortstop/Pitcher) 3/11 2HR 2RBI SB<BR/>#12 Zane Conlon (2nd/Shortstop) 5/11 HR RBI<BR/>#7 Nick Martens (2nd/Shortstop/Center/Right) 6/13 2b<BR/><BR/>#2 Dalton Carriker (2-0) 7.1IP CG 0ER 7H 8K 2WP<BR/>#22 Kendall Scott (1-0) 6IP CG ER 4H 2BB 9K WP<BR/><BR/><BR/>Mobile, AL (3-1):<BR/>#25 Chad Luse (2nd) 4/15 2b HR RBI<BR/>#8 Mason McCullough (1st/3rd) 7/13 2HR 2 2b 4RBI<BR/>#3 Blake Elmore (Pitcher/Right/Left) 4/8 2HR 6RBI<BR/>#6 Forrest Anderson (Pitcher/Center) 3/7 HR 2RBI<BR/><BR/>#10 Thomas Hamlin (1-0) 4IP 0ER 4H BB 5K<BR/>#6 Forrest Anderson (1-0) 6IP CG 1ER 4H BB 7K WP<BR/><BR/>These teams met on the first day of the regional tournament and Georgia beat Alabama 6-5. Perhaps because both teams wanted to save their ace pitchers till later in the tournament, neither team pitched either of their top 2 pitchers. Dalton Carriker is supposed to start for Warner Robins, but Kendall Scott is obviously available.<BR/><BR/>Both teams beat Tullahoma, Tennessee but Warner Robins beat them 5-1 whereas Mobile won 7-5. Both teams beat Piedmont, South Carolina but Warner Robins beat them 6-0 whereas Mobile won 5-1. Because of their win over Mobile, Warner Robins got the easier semi-final game where they beat Centreville, Virginia 3-2. Mobile played the tougher game against the previously unbeaten team from North Palm Beach, Florida and won 6-2. North Palm Beach had beaten Centreville in pool play by a score of 6-5.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-71518657763179438062007-08-09T14:53:00.000-04:002007-08-09T14:53:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-33132407895725563812007-08-09T14:36:00.000-04:002007-08-09T14:36:00.000-04:00Alright, who are the players to watch?

I make them up, before the games for some of my friends because we go on a yearly trip for 2 days to see the U.S. and International Semi-Finals. Nothing like 4 games in 2 days that don't cost any money and eating a ton of meat you brought with you to grill and sitting so close that with binoculars I can read what pitch the pitcher is throwing by seeing what fingers the catcher puts down and how the pitcher is gripping the ball.<BR/><BR/>7 of the 8 spots in the international bracket are decided with the Canadian team being the exception, but the first U.S. team is decided tonight. The game is at 8 on ESPN. If you haven't tried it out, you should.<BR/><BR/>So, how 'bout it?
