OT: Little League WS.....Mich vs. Ohio on espn right now
Hey everyone, just thought I would put this thread up cause hey, it's Mich v Ohio, so why not. While the Tigers are playing Cleveland, and beating them consistently, I felt a thread was apropos. Hope our Mich. boys can take it!
Naturally, Michigan is red and Ohio is blue (on the ESPN scoreboard). They're both wearing blue shirt jerseys which also makes sense.

Ha..you got me there.
I think Grosse Point
Specifically, Grosse Pointe Woods, according to ESPN.
For those near a computer but not ESPN, GameChanger has the live updates here - (LINK)
I don't think it's all that weird except that, yeah, it does cut down on the success of the area. The size of each LL is pretty impressive. They were three divisions when I was playing 20 years ago and they've doubled in size and participation since then. An all-star team of GPers would be pretty dominant in the state.

There are 8 teams in two divisions just here in the Park, and that's just for what's called '2nd Season' - 5 weeks of more relaxed baseball, very fun for the kids. Very fun to help coach and watch these kids be kids.
Just a resident's pet peeve
Never was from Michigan, you should be impressed I even know the town! :)
But yeah, my bad. and now it's just stuck there. Grosse Pointe, Grosse Pointe, Grosse Pointe .... got it committed to memory now.
This Hamilton OH kid is dealing, and he looks like he might cruise in this game.
Michigan's SWAG DADDY is a 12 y/o and is 6'2, 200lbs? Offer him now!
the town (which is fairly blue-collar and goes by the not-so-nice nickname of Hamiltucky) is a little-league baseball dynasty of sorts.
I'm with you. It's awful.
If there is anything worse than professional baseball (there aren't many things by the way), it's little league baseball.
It really takes a special kind of prick to go into a thread about things other people like and go out of your way to denigrate it.
+1. If you've ever played little league you'd get the love for LLWS. Imagine being 12-13 y/o on ESPN with opportunities to make SC Top 10 plays? And how awesome it would be to play against some of the best teams in the world.... that's cool stuff.
I used to play little league baseball but then realized how boring that sport is, so I quit.

posting on this thread? If you want to be an a-hole here, just go back to the Freep or Mlive.
I love the Dont Mess with the Mitten shirts the fans are sportin lol
Michigan - 1 Ohio - 0 Bottom of the third. Michigan batting.
You're asking for a score on a blog that isn't in real time? I bet you could have used Google or ESPN to find the score with the absolute minimum of difficulty.
man you are kind of a dick
He's not kind of a dick. He IS a dick and has been consistently a dick since he joined.
This makes me want to watch Grosse Pointe Blank again!
#thoroughlyunderrated.
Saw it once. Can't watch it again. Not a bad movie, I just get pissed off that it was never actually filmed here, and more or less the only reason for that is that the school superintendent at the time refused permission to use GP South for filming. Grrrr.
So instead of my school taking a starring role in one of the better cultish flicks of the decade, it gets one in Miley Cyrus's shitty teenybopper romance. FFFFFUUUUUU-
Graduated from South in '05, and the whole time I was there I was thinking "John Cusack would have fit in here ten years ago." Now I just cry inside when I think about films there.
HAIL
BEAT OHIO! Funny how that is appropriate in many instances. I went to Grosse Pointe North so yay Grosse Pointe!
Them, there, Ohio folk...they country
They're off from I-75 between Dayton and Cincinnati (closer to Cincinnati area, but the town is in the middle of nowhere). Nothing but farm in the area
Reply showed in wrong place
that felt so much like the Tigers v Indians series so far all week! Still no one out in the inning, didn't need them!
What a great indeed. Walk off homer and Michigan takes down Ohio!!!
I don't know about Woods-Shores, which is the team that played today, but the Park LL has I think six teams on the top level where the all-star team comes from, each with 11 or 12 players. It's probably similar in each of the Grosse Pointes.
Is a GREAT Day!
