Who's watching? These kids from Lafayette are fun to watch, but Hawaii's pitching staff is scary good.

watched a bit of it - but it is really hard getting past the announcers and the constant shots of the parents crying their eyes out.

Our local boys from Whalley got their asses handed to 'em on a platter by Japan. 11 - zip. Pretty much ended my interest.

Lafayette pitcher gives up 1 hit and loses 2-0. One hit was a bomb after a leadoff walk. They battled, though, and it was great to see a Louisiana team get this far. I just wish Louisiana could do something on a national level that the media didn't "Mardi Gras" and "Cajun" to death. Geez.

As pissed off as I can get at ESPN (it's a whole other post), doing Baseball Tonite from Williamsport & giving the kids 50% of the highlite time is pretty awesome.

Little league world series is one of my favorite things to watch on TV. Their intensity just sucks you in.

I watch it and rather enjoy it, despite the fact that I think it is the young boys equivalent of Olympic Gymnastics. These kids seemed to be pushed a bit too hard, and I don't really like the fact that more and more kids of former MLB players are playing for their dads now.

I was saying to a friend earlier that I pretty much think this is one of the undercover hotbeds for molos.

That, and I think Skip Bayless nailed it this week. This shit is too much.
