Way to go! Hopefully they take PA all the way.

I'm loving it-more entertaining than the Phillies this year and the kids and parents seem to be great representatives of Philly!

I'm really love this! Great program, great kids.

Perhaps the best part though is just looking at the these kids and the diversity of the racial and economic backgrounds. Where else in America save for a few other cities can you find so many different types of people all living together in the same community. The problem is so rarely can we get everyone within our community on the same page and working together. When I dream about Philadelphia's ideal future and what I hope it can and should be, these kids are exactly what I imagine. When we work together we're better than anyone. The Taney Dragons are proof!

I watched the game last night against Texas. The last inning was simply amazing. I'm glad a Philly team has made it this far in the Little League World Series.

If they win it all we shouldn't settle for some lame victory party. Give 'em a parade! Heaven knows none is forthcoming from any of our "pro" teams!

Man, I am still basking in the glow of 2008. The Phillies at least have earned a break from the fans. (I am nice and didn't type "fans")

I was just feeling personal frustration over this Phillies season. I've been a Phillies fan longer, I daresay, than most of you have been alive. Just to give it some perspective, I remember the infamous collapse of 1964. It was awful. Almost like a death in the family.

Sometimes I think that a lot of the Negadelphia stuff started at that time.
