Do they HAVE to show the kids crying when they lose? How sad....I felt so sorry for them. They all played their little hearts out.

At a score of 1 - 0, I think it was a very good game played by both teams coming down to the last inning.

I think the problem is the coaches for both team put a lot of pressure on the kids at such a young age, they my never really enjoy the sport of baseball.

I couldn't be happier that that shit is over. Not only becuase I dont really like baseball but I think its a shame to put those kids on TV and give them so much attention.

Why??? They are the best of the best. They deserve some attention. I don't like all the pressure the coaches and parents sometimes put on them, but I believe they deserve the attention.

Exactly. I'd rather watch those kids play their hearts outs for their teamates than those overpaid grown-up babies that usually play on ESPN.

The pressure and push to be the best by the adults can really destroy the fun and love of the game. That pressure gets magnified when they put them on TV, because the adults for the most part want to win for the cameras.
