  1. Gotta love it ! 🙂 Iowa player calls out ESPN for wanting drama due to missed strike call. Better audio if you click the article. Davenport, Iowa, was up 6-3 and one out away from winning an elimination game against Bonney Lake, Wash., at the 2022 Little League World Series. Iowa’s hurler threw a borderline 3-2 pitch that could’ve wound up being the game-clinching strikeout. Instead, the home plate umpire called a ball, bringing the potential tying run to the plate. When the team convened at the pitcher’s mound, one player called out ESPN for prolonging the game to create added drama. ABC, which broadcasted Saturday’s game and had Iowa’s coach mic’d up, was able to pick up the audio during the mound visit: https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/iowa-little-leaguer-blames-espn-for-missed-strike-call/3341959/#:~:text=Iowa's hurler threw a borderline,tying run to the plate.&text=Stay informed about local news%2C politics and weather.
  2. Excellent analysis. Pearland gave good effort. End of game body language did not look good since they have to regroup and play 3 days in a row to make it to Saturday USA championship. Play Iowa Tuesday at 6PM. If they don't let this loss get to them they have a chance to make it to Saturday. Need to hit the batting cage early Tues morning.

  3. Early games today. Red Sox and Orioles visit and later play at a minor league field in Williamsport, 6PM, ESPN. Always great to see the interaction between the Little Leaguers and MLB players. America, baby !
  4. https://www.tenforums.com/antivirus-firewalls-system-security/ You will have to create an acct to post but post your issue in the above forum. Great people including MSN techs. Better than calling MSN, trust me. I think similar issues have been solved without having to wipe the drive.
  5. Some market gurus are starting to worry that the summer rally on Wall Street may be starting to fizzle, after stocks lurched from oversold to overbought. Gene Goldman, chief investment officer of Cetera Financial Group, explained that stocks are likely headed for a pullback, even though the economy is in better shape than many Americans might recognize. “There’s been plenty of great news, but the market needs a little bit of a pause. We’ve moved a little too fast, too quickly, right now,” Goldman said in a phone interview with MarketWatch. To support this view, he pointed to a handful of reasons that Friday’s slump in stocks might continue into next week, and possibly longer — even though he remains bullish on stocks over a longer time horizon. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/here-are-5-reasons-why-the-bull-run-in-stocks-may-be-about-to-morph-back-into-a-bear-market-11660942705
  6. Let patience be your virtue. As you likely know, Tacoma's had a top resale value even pre covid and will continue to do so. Plus you mention your upgrades. Any info on the Tacoma forums ? May want to check with other dealers even out of area, out of state to perhaps get a more definitive answer/solution. Would let the dealer do the work if still under warranty.
  7. Pearland 2B is the real deal. Looks like Tulo fielding the ball. Pearland will play the winner of NY/Hawaii Monday at 6PM.
  8. Very advanced pitcher for his age. MLB scouts likely already have him on their board. 🙂
  9. https://www.littleleague.org/world-series/2022/llbws/tournaments/world-series/ LLWS begins 12PM, Wed, ESPN. Pearland plays Mid Atlantic (Pa), 6PM, Thursday.
  10. East Anderson and Slaughter if this is current. Pretty sure it is. AUSTIN: 1410 EAST ANDERSON LN, AUSTIN, TX 78752 – PH: (512) 835-9454AUSTIN: 415 W SLAUGHTER LN, AUSTIN, TX 78748 – PH: (512) 590-7540 https://www.lubys.com/all-locations
  11. "The good old days" Are they both retired now ?
  12. http://stats.mutigers.com/sports/m-basebl/2007-2008/mu_32.html https://texassports.com/news/2008/4/11/041108aaa_749.aspx Hesitated to mention, but in 2008 Mizzou defeated Texas 31-12, worst loss ever. Winds were at 25mph plus all game. 9 HR's, Priday of Mizzou had 4. Mizzou was ranked #8, we were #12. Team finished 39-22, lost at the Rice Regional.
  13. wrong thread
  14. What happened ? I missed it. Congrats to Pearland who defeated Tulsa 9-4 for a trip to Williamsport. Do Texas proud in the LLWS ! Tulsa is commended for being a "scappy" little team. Seemed to have the deepest pitching staff in the tournament, just could not make it all the way back after losing game 2.
  15. Not that familiar, Pearland seems to have the best hitting team, Abilene will likely counter with their ace McCarty who shutdown Eastbank on Thursday. You are correct, teams seem not as strong this year. Or perhaps there is just not one dominant team.
  16. Ms upsets defending champion La Eastbank 7-5. Great game. For an inexplicable reason (probably to save him for later), Eastbank coach pulled his starter with a 4-0 lead. Can't do that in the loser's bracket. You all need to watch these games. It is ok to relive your childhood. 🙂
  17. Sat Okla vs Ark, 4PM La vs Ms, 7PM Sun TBD, Winner of above games, 12PM Pearland vs Abilene, 4PM (winner goes to championship game on Tues) Abilene beat Okla 3-2 last night in 7 inn, but may have lost their #2 pitcher/1B to injury. Hurt his knee fielding a bunt, didn't look good. No clear favorite. Tournament will be won by the team whose coach manages his team the best.
  18. Be best to talk with her about her complete financial situation. Is $1500 the answer or will it just complicate her financial situation. It may be for high interest payments which is money wasted and will only grow. A bill consolidation loan and budget review may be in order. With children involved, it is even more important.
  19. I will defer to @Huckleberry but they are very good. Rick McCarty, head baseball coach at Abilene Christian is an assistant coach. His son was the winning pitcher tonight over defending champion Eastbank La. Little League baseball seems to be somewhat cyclical. https://www.littleleague.org/world-series/2022/llbws/tournaments/southwest-region/ Today's scores and schedule. After day 1, top 4 seems to be Wylie, Eastbank, Pearland, and Tulsa. Starkville is also pretty good.
  20. LHN not showing the Waco Regional though schedule indicates such.
  21. https://gc.com/tmt/summer-2022/little-league-baseball-southwest-region-tournament-62c71d4a6950b355b5ef9410/schedule Best time of year ! Road to Williamsport continues Thursday in Waco. Games scheduled for LHN. Will miss Keith Moreland doing the broadcast, have a full recovery "Zonk".
  22. McLean returning to OKSt. May recall he was their closer/3B. 3rd round pick, was draft eligible true sophomore (no covid).
  23. True though Walbridge looks pretty good. He may be a hidden gem. Redshirt junior, only pitched 3.1 innings at Texas. (injury ?) Perfect Game rating was 9th rated LHP in State, 78th in Nation. From private school in San Antonio, though played with good Summer League programs. At 6'5", looks good getting off the bus. 2023 Baseball Roster - University of Texas Athletics (texassports.com) Fall Roster published (minus transfers) with the 20 returning players including everyone's favorite Hoffart.
  24. Any economist nerds (said with respect) familar with Roubini ? Bio link 2. Note his explanation in the full article. Economist Nouriel Roubini said the US is facing a deep recession as interest rates rise and the economy is burdened by high debt loads, calling those expecting a shallow downturn “delusional.” “There are many reasons why we are going to have a severe recession and a severe debt and financial crisis,” the chairman and chief executive officer of Roubini Macro Associates said on Bloomberg TV Monday. “The idea that this is going to be short and shallow is totally delusional.” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-25/shallow-recession-calls-are-totally-delusional-roubini-warns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nouriel_Roubini
