How many of you guys have been watching this?

I'm going for Mexicali, Mexico since it's only about 20 minutes from where I live. I think Hawaii has a good team and so does Japan I think they are possibly the teams to go all the way.

Discuss.

Also doesn't Vista's star pitcher look like he's too old. I doubt he is but wow that kid is hairy for a 12 year old.

I've been watching a few of the games. A lot of these kids are really good.

Hawaii has an incredible team though.

I dont like watching sports if im better than the team playing. I would rather watch athletes who are far better than me and what not.

I'd rather not watch kids younger then me when I can change the channel and watch pros. I find it boring as hell, because the parents and coaches take it way too seriously, how many of them do you think are going pro? And it's little league for god sake. It's supposed to be fun, exactly why I quit, it wasn't fun anymore. The fences are too short, and the baseline are too short. At least make it seem like you need to work to get a hit. And the game dosen't seem to flow like Major-league games. Yes, I realize they are kids, but if they are indeed the best little league teams in the world, the game should seem more interesting.

Its very boring and yes the parents do take it to serious, that is why i to quit baseball in 7th grade. But nothing can beat the bordem level of softball, mainly college, i watched a couple of games, and they coulnt hit the ball worth crap.

Ive been watching a lot of it, and from the looks of things it seems as though Hawaii is the dominant team.

Danny Almonte. They had his life story on sportscenter today. After the scandal he moved to Miami, ended up pitching for a team. He was throwing 88-91 when he was 17. Then Moved back to NY after that year. He's planning on entering the MLB Draft. He's expected to go late rounds if drafted.

That was like 3 or 4 years ago. Danny Amonte or something like that was his name.

About the coaches and parents taking it too serious, I think the parents do but if you listen to the coaches they seem very calm most of the time and just want they're players to have fun no matter how corney that sounds. :lol:

Anyways Mexico is out so I guess I'll be rooting for my California team.
