Is anyone watching the Little League World Series playoffs?
One of our local teams is there and doing very well. It's fun to watch -- they're just kids but playing like pros.

It's over -- Chandler AZ won 5-1.

The morning paper had profiles of the kids and nearly all of them said their favorite subject in school is math. Such nice kids.

1. Boo Hiss....you beat our local team from Delaware
Don't worry, we can lose a game and still win it all. Go Naamans!!!

2. Doesn't keeping score in these types of things
foster competitiveness among children and low self-esteem among the children who lose?

I see how more and more youth sports leagues no longer keep score.
