Okay, so our U12 national team might be deemed bullies here…

 

 

You think it'd be fun to read the comments, until you see that an U12 (!) match makes a whole bunch of American nationalists get super serious about their country being the 'oldest and greatest in the world' and anyone who says that might not be entirely true is deemed a total idiot :d

California gets a walk-off home run to win the Little League Series. They beat :CUW in the final.

 

If I’ve said it a million times, I’ve probably said it a billion times; California is the best state in the Union. All the fake ass states can shove it. (Okay, maybe overboard there, but we don’t get a lot of opportunities to beat other state’s champions in sports.)

I'd say it is might be a bit unfortunate if a children's event is where one has to get their sports successes, but a win is a win, so yeah :p

after Tonight game #1 of the MLB World Series goes on stage, Tomorrow (11.30 a.m. CET) it's time also for the NPB to start their finals, the Japan Series 2023

 

after dominating their respective league in the Regular Season and in the Climax Series (the LCS, to use the same name of the MLB), this year's showdown is the highly anticipated Kansai Derby, where the reigning champions, Osaka Orix Buffaloes face the Hanshin Tigers from Nishinomiya

 

like all the major leagues' final series, it's a best-of-7 series with the classic 2-3-2 format

2023 Japan Series

 

after the first 2 games were one-sided and very disappointing in terms of "atmosphere" on the pitch, game #3 and #4 were very close and both had a very emotional ending (game #4 finished with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 9th inning)

 

Game #3, Orix Buffaloes b. Hanshin Tigers 5-4 in Nishinomiya

 

game details

Series tied 2-2, game #5 is well underway right now in Nishinomiya, meanwhile game #6 is scheduled for next Saturday at 6.30 p.m. local time (10.30 CET) in Osaka (and if needed, also game #7 will be in Osaka at the same time on Sunday)

the Buffaloes looked to have a small but comfortable lead in game #5, but a big 8th inning by the Hanshin Tigers overturned the situation and allowed the team from Nishinomiya to win the game and take the lead in the series

now they're just 1 win away from their first title in 38 years

2023 Japan Series

 

Buffaloes' superstar pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto had a rough start that made the home fans tremble with fear, but after the nightmerish 2nd inning, he came back strong and pitched a gem in the remaining 7 innings, allowing his teammates to complete the job and earn the chance to play the series decider Tomorrow

at the end of the day, it's a complete game with 9 hits surrendered and a record breaking 14 strikeouts for Yamamoto and a 5-1 win for the Buffaloes

 

Game #6Orix Buffaloes b. Hanshin Tigers 5-1 in Osaka

2023 Japan Series

 

after a 38 years long drought, the Hanshin Tigers have done it! 

 

they are the new Japan Series Champions!!! :champion: :bowdown:

 

3 runs in the 4th and 3 more in the 5th inning sealed the deal as no sign of life was shown by the Buffaloes through the entire game (which was a pretty disappointing one, for being the series decider of a matchup started with so much hype)

 

Game #7Hanshin Tigers b. Orix Buffaloes 7-1 in Osaka

 

game details

https://npb.jp/bis/eng/2023/games/s2023110501862.html

 

the Tigers won the Series 4-3

    • I still remember how Demi Moore swept the Razzies for Striptease almost 30 years ago and she won Golden Globes now? The acting industry must be short on talent, scripts or everything else   This being said I don't really watch too many new TV shows these days least of all those Marvel/DC action hero stuff that has taken over in the last decade plus. I know it's a box office gold mine but completely not my taste.
    • Yeah, Anora has been really hard for me to place in my personal rankings. It's a fun and enjoyable film for the most part, but it didn't quite generate the same awe or excitement from me that a few others have this season. Still, I was quite shocked to see Madison lose yesterday because she did a deliver a phenomenal performance in my opinion.    The best actress "race" still feels rather open to me, which adds a bit of suspense to each body's nominations.  
    • Anyone remember that  athlete in a European Champs who was given a false start, then protested and got a re-run?  And then false-started twice.   Was kind of like that. 
    • Justin Trudeau has resigned as party leader and will resign as prime minister of Canada once the Liberal Party choses a new leader. Once a new leader in selected there will likely be elections shortly after.
    • I'm not surprised. Colturi seems to be trending in the right direction (duh) and the rest of the Italian women's team is nowhere except veterans Brignone and Goggia. The Delagos have regressed badly for whatever reason and even Bassino has kinda stalled despite still being in her prime. The shit will soon hit the fan but it's probably to late before the next OG. It would be ridiculous if Albania wins more medals in alpine skiing than Italy
    • The regular season is over. Tennesse Titans get #1 overall pick for the 2025 draft after NE Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills back-ups on the last day.   Mike Evans (Buccaneers) ended his 11th season with 11th mark of 1,000 receiving yards which ties Jerry Rice's all-time record. Bucs needed to run one more play to get him 5 yards he needed instead of kneeling down a game they had won already.   Wild Card Schedule:   My picks: Chargers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings        
    • Tuesday January 7th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 2 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30  Netherlands vs Romania 16:00  Lithuania vs Great Britain 19:30  Croatia vs China
    • Monday January 6th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 1 Results (GMT +1)   12:30  Lithuania  8 - 2  Netherlands 16:00  Romania  3 - 4  China 19:30  Great Britain  1 - 3  Croatia   Provisional Standing After Day 1:   1.    3 ------------------ 2.   3 3.   3 4.   0 5.   0 ------------------ 6.   0
    • Few observations from the Globes.   Nikki Glaser had a nice opening monologue, but everything afterwards was bad. Plus i don't know what the make-up people did to her face, but i thought i was watching a wax figure.. But she changed 10 dresses showing us more of her cleavage, so that was a plus i guess.    This was probably not only the worst Globes, but probably one of the worst major award ceremonies in structure and writing... Everything was so awful... - None of the presenter skits worked and many were just cringe; - The weird camera angles, that widened around the presenters completely showed the audience not giving any fucks about what they were saying and some hiding their facepalms even. I was specifically watching in the background, since in these award shows we only get the camera in the presenters face against the screen, so this was new, but i was astonished how little the people were paying attention.    - Not showing barely any clips, or even images from the movies / series (sadly this has become a modern tradition to "save time") - The idiotic showing of the nominees. Not only without images from their performances, but them in a small picture on the side, while the screen was a damn Google Map with an arrow on their placement. Like WHO CARES where they sit in the room, show the person on the full screen... Morons.   About the winners:   - Like pretty much all winners on the movie side, with the exception of Emilia Perez, which i don't like at all and don't think it deserves awards.. - Especially happy for The Brutalist and Fernanda Torres;   - Anora was being hyped so much. Watched it, absolutely hated the first half, picked up greatly in the second, but in the end an above average film 7/10 for me. Not getting anything yesterday was a bit surprising if you'd followed the race, but not saying i'm sorry for it. Madison did a great performance, but her stocks are falling for an Oscars win and she will probably settle for only the Nom.   - Ariana Grande does a nice job in fooling people, that she is a good singer (which she is not) and now that she is a good actress (which she is not). Someone is getting screwed if she gets an Oscars Nom..   - Pissed that they didn't have the DeMille and Burnett awards on the main show, because of "time", but we now have the nonsense Box Office and Stand-Up comedy awards.. Everyone would have preferred a tribute to Davis and Ted Danson with a recap of their careers, rather than 30 minutes of useless stuff.   On the TV side it was pretty much as expected. Stoked for Colin Farrell's win.
