    Little League World Series is sports for people who don't like sports. Kind of like the Olympics.

    Just buy the fuckin packages
    MLB is about $200/year and DirectTV breaks it up in 6 payments
    I also started paying for NFL Ticket-about 2 1/2 bills.
    I wait tables/bartend for a living, make about 24k a year and I can sure as hell afford it.

    Why be so difficult on yourself and just buy them.

    Now when Fox blacks out a bunch of games this afternoon because of their TV contracts, that's when you bitch.

    I know I'll bitch, because I'll only be able to watch it through firstrow and get a ton of popups and have to clean my PC because of it.
    Now, that's when you have a reason to bitch!!!

    You'll be able to watch any Fox-TV Saturday game in 2014, if you have a MLB.TV or Extra Innings subscription. MLB needs to keep going and end all blackouts.

    I love watching the little league World SeriesHad lunch with the wife yesterday and got a seat where we could both watch the LLWS. We totally dig
    It.

    Went into the great room this morning and my daughter was sitting on the couch watching the softball little league World Series on espn. I didn't even know they were showing the girls tourney.

    Bottom line....it made me feel good to see my 6 year old watching sports on tv by herself. Must be raising her right.

    Kraken talk to me when you need to find a way to circumvent local blackouts on MLB premium....when you're driving. Barreled in here...

    And don't be such a grumpy old codger. Williamsport is every kid's dream.

    I'm better now. I see the error of my ways. I had access to all the games at my fingertips. I chose to take the low road and make fun of the fat kids from Detroit and Chicago. I repent.

    Seriously, put em on another station. And as someone else said, put the semi's and finals on ESPN. That's fine. But this game was garbage at the expense of the TIgers and Yankees. Common. I enjoy the finals but not the play in game or whatever it was.

    I know it's a little late, but I think part of the reason it is on is for the large group of people who play baseball but don't have that much interest in the sport at a professional level, and also for the people who are actually in baseball, not just watchers of the sport.

    My brother has dedicated his life to baseball and when he was in little league we would watch the players from the south west region and he always knew who the best ones were. He used the same pitching coaches, hitting coaches, played on the same travel ball teams etc. The people who are actually very good at the sport all know each other.

    Now he is starting his junior year in high school and knows all of the best southern california HS players. 5 kids from his high school were drafted to the MLB this past year. He knew both the aces from UCLA and Fullerton when they met in the college WS this year.

    Tomorrow night is the PG nationals game and one kid from his HS and another from his city will be playing in the game and he knows many more. In the 2012 MLB draft, 85% of those selected were PG national kids. People who are on the inside eat up the real stuff.

    They stopped during it now for a couple of years. With a little research the llws and high school football was a gold mine
    No one offers it now

    Fukking Little League Softball. Seriously. Could not believe what I was watching for a second.

    However, team from Tucson, AZ won the damned thing. So, I guess that was cool. But wow, little girls playing softball on ESPN is a bit too....

    ESPN is horrendous these days. Sports Center is nearly unwatchable. How do you take a recap show of the days sports news and f*ck it up? Follow ESPN's plan. Been absolutely sh*t since ABC bought them

    My girlfriend plays softball for a big school, which is on ESPN for whatever reason frequently. If I can't make it through one of those games, like hell I can watch a Little League game for 30 seconds.
