MLL Championship Weekend: Semifinals Recap

A quick rundown of today's Major League Lacrosse action in Annapolis, Maryland, according to YOUR comments on Twitter!

  1. Crazy weekend for the MLL, but I sure am glad they played through the weather!

  2. No doubt they lost some ticket revenue, but watching LIVE on ESPN2 was quite the treat for people all across the country. Hopefully today's games helped generate some new lacrosse fans!


    Final scores:

    Boston 14, Chesapeake 13
    Hamilton 11, Denver 9


    Interesting tidbit: Most people who took our LAS Poll yesterday said they wanted the Denver Outlaws to win.

  4. The teams got wet out there today, no question about it.

  5. Jersey was about 12 lbs today.. Cleats 5 lbs each .. CP looks like a qb out there
  6. Kudos to all the MLL players who played their asses off in that crazy weather today..
  7. Inside Lacrosse has some up-close photos of how players dealt with the rain:
  8. Scott Rodgers even got a new tattoo for the occasion!
  9. Some fresh ink on Hamilton goalie Scott Rodgers. He says now he needs to wear 42 on every team he plays for. t.co/FzHRIiP
  10. Here are some fan reactions from throughout the day:

  11. Cannons win! Exciting game. Big win. Now Irene get to stepping so we can have sunshine tommorow.
  12. I respect the heck out of the @MLL_Lacrosse playing through these conditions. There are a lot of other sports that would hang it up.
  13. InLaxWeTrust.com has a solid recap of the both games:

  16. Some interesting player activity occurred during the last few seconds of the Hamilton/Denver game. Most notably, an unnecessary gesture that poorly represented our sport.

  17. and with 9 seconds left, sportsmanhip makes its departure.
  18. Missed the very end of game 2, did Walters really give the "choke" sign?
