Little League World Series

I'm torn on this. I really enjoy watching it and those kids are very talented, but something about them being on TV seems soooo wrong. Too much "feeding the beast" at such a young age.

I was watching the CA team trounce some other squad the other night and the cleanup hitter had every mannerism of one Albert Pujols down pat.......posing at the dish after going yard, tongue hanging out, etc. If that's my kid he is taking the bread board to the rear end like when I screwed up as a kid. How in the H do parents let their kids get away with this garbage? He needed to be a taught a lesson a long time ago! Probably too late to save him, at this point. He needs to be put in his place and no authority figure is willing to do it, evidently. Sad.

I love watching the kids have fun out there and it has to be a great experience for them, but something just doesn't feel right about it.

That said, i'm sure i'll be watching more of it...hypocritical, I know. I also know i'll be cheering for the team that shows the most class.

I like watching every year!  Talented kids that play hard because they enjoy it is always good fun.  I really liked watching the kids from Hawaii last year and was hoping to see them again this year...

I haven't seen enough yet to judge talent (I don't have ESPN), but I'm hoping for a San Antonio (where I live) vs Japan finals.  We're having some Japanese exchange students tomorrow so I'm sure we'd all enjoy the game.

I was impressed with the Canadian first baseman (a girl) who is as talented as any of the boys on her team!

funny to see my home town in little league world series... Warner Robins!!! woooo!

I'm watching because it's the only channel that my son is watching..........he hearts it!!

These kids are really amazing!

I don't have cable so I can't watch it, but enjoy the news highlights every night!

Just an FYI on the Canadian team - not sure if this was ever broadcasted or not - but they are from the poorest postal code in the country. East Vancouver is the most drug addled, poverty-stricken, violent part of Canada.

Way to go kids, I say. Awesome job, no matter how you play and how far you go in the tourney.
