HOT : Little league world series 2009

ESPN and ABC will be broadcasting the Little league world series 2009 this year. The games will be in High Definition this year. The Final will be broadcast on ABC at 3:00 on August 30.
To me it seems like every year the kids act more unnatural because they are on TV. I watched about four innings of a game today and it was like every kid was acting like Nomar at the plate. I know it is fun to ham it up, I just do not know how I feel about watching it.
The schedule below includes all the game dates and times as of August 21. If there are any rain outs or changes they can be found here.
