Andrew, don't blame your over reaction on me. You answered an easily ignorable jab with the ole 'unjust war' haymaker, I didn't make you do it.

Anyhow, Russellville, Ky is maybe overmatched but they made it this far, and that's an accomplishment they can be proud of. I'm hooked on the Little League world series, those kids are top shelf entertainment. A miniature and more fun version of the bigs, and like the bigs it usually comes down to pitching.

You see the hooks these kids throw? For cryin' out loud, I've seen curveballs that would've had me diving to the ground when I played little league. I never saw a sharp non roundhouse curve until the Babe Ruth level, but a lot of these kids are dropping them off the table. Amazing.

It is a little tilted, because pretty often small city US teams wind up playing the best team any given country can put together. When Podunk, USA's team of 100 pound kids win against Chinese Taipei's team of 6 foot tall '12' year olds it's pretty sweet.

I agree Tx-Cal could be a good one. Cal has a kid living in a man's body, I think he's over 6 ft. Haven't seen tx, but they always bring it.

I'm pulling for Warner Robbins, Ga.
