There is coming a day soon ISLAM will take all your children and they will be taught ISLAM, you will be forced to convert to ISLAM or else die is the choice. America dream on, sleep, be distracted. We will take over the earth and America will not be remember no more on earth. Praise allah!
this team was good andy rios and bulla graft played for chula vista in 13u pony and ended up beating us CYPRESS and winning the pony world series too if u dont believe me please! check out this video camsdbl072810.mp4 just take a look you might even recognize the pitcher!!!
@mrcrazyman87 You're little league selects an all-star team and you compete in tournaments that lead up to the LLWS. When I played for Aptos, we had to play in a district, than the Northern California state tournament. We had to play little leagues from Stockton, San Francisco, Sacramento, etc. Once we won the Northern Cal tournament, we went to the West regional and beat the likes of Las Vegas, Anaheim, Glendale, then finally the LLWS where we finally lost.
Go California!!! I played in the Little League World Series back in 2002 for the Aptos Little League baseball team. Greatest time of my life! I will never forget my experience in Williamsport.
@UnitedWeStand90 you are so lucky my team back in 03 was 2 games away from going to williamsport we live 3 hours away.. it killed us cause it was our last year such a heart breaker but thats so awesome u got to expierence that. i go every year to watch and its so fun
@chasedickson257 Your the type of loser who was to untalented to make any sports team as a child. So now your mad at anyone who is talented enough to make a team even if they r 11 & 12yo which shows how pathetic you r.
Not to start anything but im not impressed with Chula vista. Luke is hitting bombs yeah, but it's a field thats 210ft. The "Bombs" he hits would be rutine on the fields i play on. And Garcia was a whiney bitch. That kids horrible. Im not saying their a bad team. Im just saying they aren't as good as a lot of people say they are.
Torrance Babe Ruth Baseball team who has many kids on the team that beat Park View Chula Vista last year is going to the World Series as 13 yr olds. Where is Chula Vista this year??
@GaMeRMoNtAgEs4you Well damn, aint that a bitch, just don't let that get you down though, lol. I hate that shit, if I was playing I would rather lose 6 to 0 than to be that close and lose it in the end. But, good luck next season. What team did you lose against and how far did that team make it?
@scooterinnc84 um it was an indiana team from center grove(idk if you know where that is) and idk how far they went. but its ok its football season now and its my favorite sport
the coach of llws is my teacher i know i know.... u dont believe me he is my teacher his 2 sons names are luke,ben the coach name is ric ramirez im not sure i know his wifes name
sweet these kids kick ass dude i live in freeking butte montana and i can throw 80 it sucks cause everyone else sucks but we play feilds about that big and i hit alot of homers and well these kids could probably show me up cause they all are really good athlets but no im a loner yeh it gets boring being a 5 foot 7 11 year old soon to be 12 in the 6th grade

Why does american team is always qualified to the final?, those fucking americans think theyre the best in EVERYTHING.. Fucking match in the future all star game its REST OF THE WORLD Vs, USA.. WTF!!!.. USA sucks!!, Venezuela killed them in the wbc 09!, and mexico did in 06!.. so?. Im not agree with this tournamet format.
ok one of my really good friends team beat chula vista 18-0! and guess who was pitching?? luke ramirez! ilook it up on youtube. its torrance little league 18- park view little league 0! check it out!!
Not to be a dick or nothin. Lets just say this is a debate. But it does matter actually im 5'11 bout 150lbs and i swing a little league bat like ima kill somebody and this dudes bigger than me by a long shot. so it does to a acstent(spelling)
Wow, you're hitting on a kid who plays little league. Luke Ramirez sucks anyways. And the fact that he uses that little ass bat when he's 6'0 200lbs is rediculous.
Dude. Thats a bit extreme don't you think. I mean I know it was unfair to have a 13 year odl adult on the team, and hense their victory, but exterminated? Why? Those are the kids. And as far as illegal alliens and their babies, if your food and drink was prepared by and serveiced by all legal, white Americans, it would cost 3-5 times more. Extermindated? God damn, go volunteer in the hospital.
Chula Vista!! I probably live two miles from where these kids live. Wow, great game! Congratulation to both teams! Ironically, my brother lives 30 miles from Williamsport, where they played!!
TraderNorton04 wrote, "I personally think all anchor babies should be rounded up and exterminated."
You and those of your ignorant ilk represent the very worst of humankind. The 11, 12, and 13 year old boys of the Chula Vista Blue Bombers have more class and integrity in their little fingers than you will ever possess in your entire pathetic being.
Congratulations to the Blue Bombers of Chula Vista, California -- 2009 Little League World Series Champions! You represented the USA well.

Little League was founded by AMERICANS and is held in the USA so there for it's all far dude its just 11-13 year olds playing calm down its not the damn MLB world series.
@MrCosio I lived and got married in Chula Vista in the 70's. If my Warner Robins, GA team couldn't take it last year, I'm glad Chula Vista got it. We had our moment in 2007, with Dalton Carriker's walk-off homer to right field in the 8th inning. So, I know the pride you feel. Everytime I watch that clip from 2007, I still feel the exhilaration. I know this year's LLWS will be just as exciting as last year. Good Luck
