CURACAO OUSTS MATA LITTLE LEAGUERS. GRACIAS MATA!

"The dream is over.
What can I say?
The dream is over.
Yesterday..."

John Lennon

And so that hardy band of Little League players from Brownsville's sister city Matamoros representing the Mexico Region fell before the tiny island of Curacao by a score of 2-1 Thursday. The Matamoros team was one game shy of playing in the International Championship game against Taipei.

In a later game, the Pearland Texas team also lost to Tennessee 7-1, ending their Williamsport run, also just a win shy from making it to the U.S. Championship game against Hawaii.

The Texas loss was just their second in 17 games dating back to district.

Of the 20 teams in the competition, both teams ended among the top three in their bracket, Matamoros in the International bracket, and Texas in the United States bracket.

We, of course, would have loved for them to meet in the Big Game, but can only admire their grit to compete at that level. In articles all over the world, Matamoros was referred to as the city directly across the Rio Grande from Brownsville, Texas, while Pearland was said to be near Houston. 

This time it wasn't because of Satanic cult murders, poverty, or cartel violence. It was about the world-class excellence of these kids at their sport who live right across the charco and who are surely related to some of our Brownsville families, as many local residents are.

We tip our baseball caps to both of them for putting us on the map through their skill and determination. You made us proud. Gracias, boys!

TRUMP INDICTMENT -

Donald Trump did this to himself and no one in their right mind feels any sympathy for someone who put us all at risk by his egotistical lying and his narcissistic ways. He’s beyond vile. He’d sell us out for pure greed if he hasn’t already.

- a Russian puppet.

Those kids made both sides of the border PROUD. Being a border child takes PRIDE (on BOTH SIDES of the border). You think we have it bad? Try going to Kentucky, Tennessee, even New York and California. Liga Pequeña Matamoros AC did a GOOD JOB. They don't have the means that American kids have, they see the sport as a GAME TO ENJOY. China/Taipei, as Orientals, they see it analytical and focus on a win and not on an enjoyment of the sport. GRACIAS chavitos, you did your best.

Latest news from MSNBC. A secret paper was found in a highly classified box of documents at Mar-a-Lago. Trump will soon be indicted. The so-called secret paper was actually a gum wrapper from Vladimir Putin when he visited the white house in November of 2001 to meet with then-president George W. Bush. More indictments to follow.

Former trumputo toilet cleaner Hillbilly coco wanna be white RATA is believed to have appeared before the fullof county grand jury investigation whether the toilet was cleaned properly during trumputo's bout with stomach problems. Hillbilly coco was subpoenaed for testimony earlier with investigators citing used toilet paper that remained clean. Sniffing dog Chula could not determine the used paper came from. Testimony continues. If found guilty he faces a firing squirts from a selected secret group of fat ladies.

Both Fogerty and Lennon are great in the respective genres. I know I wish I could compose and sing like Fogerty. Hell, his brother envied his talent.

A woman was arrested and faces a possible hate crime charge after she was captured on video in a racist rant and assault on women of South Asian descent in a suburban Dallas parking lot, in another disturbing example of anti-Asian violence seen across the U.S.

Plano police said in a statement Thursday that Esmeralda Upton, 58, of Plano, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault and terroristic threat charges. She was jailed with bond set at $10,000.

Its a model city of racist. DON'T GO THERE!!!
