Paseo Verde Little League Makes It 2 Wins In A Row

Getting one step close to the Championship game, the Paseo Little League made it two wins in a row! At the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. the team out of Henderson won another very important game.

Beating the champs from Hawaii 3-2, it was a tight game that ended in the bottom of the 6th inning with a double play. A low scoring game with a ton of highlights from both teams, but when it was all said and done, Paseo Verde pulled it out with a one run win.

According to the report from Channel 13, Paseo Verde pitcher Gunnar Gaudin started the game, scattering 9 hits, he struck out 5 batters and did not give up a walk. From start to finish, Gaudin was solid top to bottom!

On the flipside, the Henderson little leaguers never trailed in the game, it was more of Hawaii that kept tying it up. Once PV finally got the lead back in the bottom of the 6th!

A total team effort, the kids will stay put because their next game is not too far away. They will play the winner of the Southeast-Southwest Region on Wednesday.

It's been quite the ride for the team as well as their parents and siblings. Can you image cheering on the team, National TV audience, and the stands packed with fans!

The way this team has been holding up is a little more than just amazing. They are one game away from playing in the U.S. Championship game! But, let's focus and take it one step at a time. We definitely don't want to get carried away here!

Tune in at 6:40am for all the details with The Mike & Carla Morning Show, But for now...take a breath, enjoy the win, and then we will see you on Wednesday...12 noon on ESPN!

We are nothing but baffled by the Oakland Athletics - or should we say soon-to-be Las Vegas A's. Ever since they started sniffing around the valley, things have always been a bit weird. They were scoping out several different stadium sites. Then they bought land at the former Wild Wild West site.

Then inexplicably they abandoned that to enter a deal to steal a corner of a redeveloped Tropicana land for their stadium. The renderings were obviously "fugazi," but worry not! New renderings are coming! Not when they said though. They decided to delay their press conference due to tragedy. But months went by. When would they show us what Nevadans never got a chance to vote to give $380 million for?

Well, today is the day. And crikey, mate. It's pretty... and it's pretty unrealistic.

The long awaited "real" renderings are here and... once again... there is so much wrong here.

Don't get us wrong, we don't want to be haters. At first glance, the stadium looks really fancy! Look at those lines! That screen in right field looks incredible! It is almost as though they dreamt what a futuristic baseball stadium would look like in Australia and AI popped out these images.

Once you get past the obvious window dressing, you start to realize things don't necessarily line up. The long t0rtured fan base of the Oakland Athletics are used to the bait and switch at this point. As Nevadans we need to keep our eye on the dishonesty today, because that will turn into the budget woes and shortfalls that we will all pay for tomorrow, and for years and decades to come.

So lets look at the renderings and see exactly why these pictures are anything but a homerun.

You don't need to be a world traveler to know the biggest landmarks. China has a great wall. England has Big Ben. New York has the Statue Of Liberty. Australia has... yep. The Sydney Opera House. Las Vegas Review-Journal journalist Mick Akers says he spoke with the team's owner that said the Sydney Opera House "was not a direct inspiration" for the stadium. No. The difference is this one has a baseball field inside. Otherwise... we digeridoo think there are some real parallels.

When the rumor started to break that the A's were coming to Las Vegas, the Rio site seemed like a perfect spot. But it didn't go there. Then the Wild Wild West land seemed like a decent spot... but after supposedly buying that they gave it up for a deal with Bally's, owners of the Tropicana Las Vegas. The plan? Give the A's 9 acres on the southeast corner of a freshly bulldozed Tropicana site, and develop the rest with a new resort. The first renderings didn't show that resort... and wouldn't you know it this one doesn't either. You can likely kiss that perfect view of the Strip goodbye.

The entire time we've heard about the stadium, we've heard it would have a retractable roof. Of course, anyone paying attention (hat tip to Brodie Brazil) would note that there is no baseball stadium in the country with a retractable roof on such a postage stamp of land. Remember, the A's don't get the whole plot of land. Only 9 acres of it. With this rendering it looks like they are giving up on that dream. That said, if it is anything like the lanai doors at Allegiant Stadium, it would seldom retract anyways.

The Tropicana resort takes up 35 acres at the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Trop. The proposed A's stadium would take up about 9 acres, or a quarter of the land. But look at these renderings. Doesn't it look a little...large to you? Nevermind the lack of the planned Bally's casino. The stadium looks to be taking at least half of the Tropicana land. Like the renderings before it, it doesn't seem to pass the smell test.

It looks like they took a little sliver of the Sphere and placed it on the roof. Interesting looking scoreboard! We kind of like it! Hey, curious. Where are the lights? Wrigley Field was the last stadium to go without lights, until 1988. There are no lights to be found in this plan. Exactly how will this park be illuminated? Could someone shed some light on this?
